The Duck dives into Husky Hate Week as Oregon prepares to host Washington in Week 14

The Oregon Ducks are nearing their annual rivalry game with the Washington Huskies and as fans get ready for their long-lived rivalry, The Duck mascot has dived head first into "Husky Hate Week."

The beloved college mascot already took a nationwide road trip ahead of the 2024 season and visited every single Big Ten stadium other than Washington's home base in Seattle. So, as expected, The Duck was ready after Oregon's bye in Week 13.

Every year, The Duck spreads awareness of Washington's mascot's shortcomings. From Harry the Huskies' lame favorite color to embarrassing habits of clapping for TSA pre-check, The Duck exposes every fault that Harry has.

One big point of contention for this year's matchup is the fact that Oregon head coach Dan Lanning has yet to defeat the Huskies since taking over the Ducks' program in 2022. In Lanning's first year, then-No. 6 Oregon lost to then-No. 25 Washington at home.

Just one year later, the National Championship-bound Huskies beat the Ducks not once but twice during the 2023 season – both in Seattle during the regular season and in the last-ever Pac-12 Championship game.

So, this time around, as No. 1 Oregon prepares to host the unranked Huskies, Lanning and his Ducks are hunting for his first victory over their out-of-state rival.

The Duck's tirade of Harry the Husky will continue until game time, and maybe even throughout the four hate-filled quarters of the game. Meanwhile, Lanning and his team will work to improve to 12-0 overall to finish the regular season with a perfect record.

Oregon and Washington are scheduled to kick off at 4:30 p.m. PT from Autzen Stadium. The game will be broadcast on NBC.
