The Oregon-Washington football game is a matchup that has been circled on fans' calendars since last year.
While that rivalry will be renewed this weekend, another one could be brewing just outside the stadium.
it all started when Dick's Drive-In saw a Wendy's boat patrolling the waters outside Husky Stadium.
So they tweeted out a challenge -- a Battle of the Barges if you will -- for this weekend.
While it doesn't appear Wendy's will be back, it's not stopping Dicks from delivering free burgers to sailgaters on Saturday. See details here.
Burger Barge plan commencing... tag a friend if you want a burger box on the water this Saturday hand delivered by @SeattleBoat !https://t.co/JOvDHCzj7z pic.twitter.com/0G5kN8bSPM

#BattleoftheBurgerBoats won’t be much of a battle unless @Wendys finds their burger gumption. Seems they just like to barge in https://t.co/ywBxJctS6u
