Oregon football appears to be proof that winning doesn’t breed humility. A recent fan survey by Sports Illustrated ranks Pacific-10 Conference schools top-to-bottom in several categories relating to the fan experience. The Ducks claimed the top spot in only one category, the dubious “rudest fans” category.
It’s a hard result to dispute, considering the results: 26.2 percent of those surveyed chose Oregon fans over those at the other nine conference schools. The number is more than double the number of votes for second-place USC, which was named by 12.9 percent. The fan bases most disgusted by the Ducks crowd were Washington (whose fans voted for Oregon 82.7 percent of the time), Oregon State (66.7) and Washington State (58.5).
The Ducks also finished, predictably, last in the “most polite fans” survey, being acknowledged by just 2.6 of the fans surveyed.

Good analysis. You come up with that all on your own? “The Ducks also finished, predictably, last in the “most polite fans” survey, being acknowledged by just 2.6 of the fans surveyed.” If they are the rudest, you could probably guess they weren’t going to win the most polite.
As a Duck fan (season ticket holder), I know that we have earned this reputation. It comes with being constantly in the media, being called out by the media and holding high expectations. Notice how the rudest fans, come from the schools that are most talked about publicly, while the most polite are those who hold little significance in the conference. Coincidence?
So good work, you are doing your job. Pegging people against the Ducks so the arrogance grows.
Well, along with the Blount embarassment, here’s one more reason to boycott UofO football. Thugs, enablers and barely civilized yahoos seem to be the standard for dear old U these days.
Washington fans can suck a dick. Anyone who was at the UP vs Washington soccer game last Friday can attest to how rude and unsportsmanlike they are.
Kickball fans are the rudest fans of all.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool Oregon State Beaver fan, but, honestly, in 30+ years of attending games I have not found UO fans to be ruder than any other fans. Congratulations, in advance, UO if you win next week.
[...] a recent Sports Illustrated survey of fans in different conferences concluded that Ohio State and Oregon fans were both voted the rudest in their respective conferences. My question to Noah: How accurate is [...]
I am a huge Oregon duck fan and go to games every year. I dont think they are rude at all. Stanford rated first is private so their probably taught to be polite. WSU is in the smallest town ever and so when they have knew people come to their town no duh they will be polite, same as ASU. Arizona actually has ruder fans because they through trash at Oregon players just because their team didn’t make it to the rose bowl cause their not good. And OSU ilhas rudefans when Oregon visits. So Oregon just has people get drunk and visiting fans might think they are rude but they are not the rudest. They just have the best stadium ever and and have decked out fans more than other schools.
