I can say with some degree of certainty that all Oregonians are not Ducks,
or Washingtonians Huskies. I've never heard of "Evergreener" or
"Greener" in reference either to a Washingtonian or to a student/alum of
The Evergreen State College, but if it exists, I would assume it refered
to the college, not to the state.
