Ever since I began cheering for the Ducks in the closing moments of the 2010 Civil War game, I've been called a "fake fan."
But I cheer my heart out at Autzen. I shout profanities at the opposing team, even when I'm watching the game on television. And I expect the Ducks to end each season with one loss at most.
That's why I'm not only a real, dyed-in-the-feathers Oregon die-hard but also uniquely qualified to predict the outcome of this week's Washington matchup. Haters gonna hate, but we all know what's going to happen Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
