War Declared on University of Washington

Impostor Washington University of St. Louis has declared war on the real University of Washington. (Which is obviously the one located here in Seattle, in Washington State.) Washington University's Student Union President, Neil Patel proclaims, "On behalf of the student body, Student Union has declared war on the University of Washington. We're tired of being confused with the University of Washington. We're in St. Louis, dammit."
While the declaration of war comes in the school's annual April Fools Day newspaper, we'd like to take the time to stoke the flames of battle. Because, hey, we're not the ones with the nonsensical geographically inappropriate name. And, thank god, we're not stuck in St. Louis.

As a supporter of both universities, I move we join forces against the truly nefarious East Coast incarnation of Washington.

As a St. Louis native, I have to say it: At least they have serviceable light rail!
But yeah, outside of that (and baseball success), Seattle kinda wins.
