Saturday’s football game between Oregon and Washington was canceled, the Pac-12 announced Thursday, because the Huskies don’t have enough players available to play with positive COVID-19 cases and subsequent contact tracing.
But one of the best elements of this Pac-12 rivalry game is continuing on with The Oregon Duck still doing what he does best: Roasting Washington’s Harry The Husky on Twitter. This is just so much fun.
And even though there’s no football game, The Duck reminded everyone that Oregon and Washington are scheduled to play each other in basketball Saturday night in Seattle — the Ducks are 8.5-point favorites — and that’s a good enough excuse for him to tease the Huskies’ mascot.
with no football game, there’s no reason to tweet at @harrythehusky 😔

To his credit, Harry The Husky has had some pretty great jabs so far as well. But, as we’ve noted in previous seasons, The Duck’s jokes and insults are undefeated.
So here’s a look at some of the highlights from The Oregon Duck’s and Harry The Husky’s trash-talking. (They’re firing off tweets at each other every few minutes, so we’ll update this post.)
