What? Why the heck are Washington and Oregon fans trying to defend themselves against other conferences by quoting USC stats? How does this make sense?

It doesn’t. But that’s what CSC is, a defense of the best team in your conference no matter who it is.

If your team isn’t that team, you turn to the team that is, and by default it makes your team better. That’s the theory at least.

How do you cure it, oh wearer of the purple and gold? You have to get back to your roots.

When someone says the Pac-10 sucks, you say, "No it doesn’t, but I heard people from Wazzou finally discovered how to make fire."  You can defend your conference and defend your fanhood credibility at the same time.

CSC cannot be allowed to take what’s most important to us, and for Washington fans, it’s the Apple Cup. What would you do if the Apple Cup wasn’t important to you anymore? What if defeating your lifelong rival became less important than proving yourself to other conferences?

Think about it.

Next up, Sparty.  Now you’ve been left behind in recent years, the butt of a joke who is part of an even larger joke.  Your epic collapses in October and November only threw fuel on the fire of the Big Ten sucks bonanza. 

But this isn’t you. You shouldn’t become involved in a Big Ten supremacy debate that forces you to stick up for that other state team.

Sparty hates one team more than all others, that hideously colored, cross-state rival, M*ch*g*n.  So how can you justify yourself cheering for Big Blue last New Year’s to defeat the Florida Gators?
