A little BIG to fit on the bus....

Ducks! 63-13 3 TO 5 sacks 273 passing yards

42 - 7 3 TO 3 Sacks 300 Yds passing

WE WILL DUCK U!

Not the most attractive carving. I would have recommended something more like this…

I always thought of the name as a play on the word “civil”. As in, we at times tolerate each other…no confederate flag involved. However, the fact that Oregon is known as the Beaver State should be the next thing cancelled.

I've never stopped calling it the 'Civil War'. Always thought the reasons were ill advised, uninformed, and who cares anyway. We, as a country to easily overly politicize everything. Besides, it really is a 'civil" Civil War. As for Mr C, he has attached himself to a sinking ship (Pac(St)8) and desperately needs paid viewers. Of which I will never be one. Go Ducks! Put lil' bro in his place.

I'll be honest... I was for changing the name away from Civil War. It's actually my second article on FishDuck. However, I did have the expectation that the game would be renamed and thus rebranded into something new. That was back in 2020 and there has been NO effort to rebrand this game. The teams are now in different conferences and the fans have moved on. There was a moment where this game could have been renamed and the fans would have gone a long with it in a year or so. Come on... Platypus Bowl with a trophy and throw in a bunch of new marketing around it. Fans would have disliked it at first but after a year or so would have been fine with it. Also... putting a trophy front and center in the rivalry would have made it very B1G (despite little brother not being a member). But nothing happened. So I went back to calling it the Civil War years ago. Calling it "Rivalry Game" or whatever has no character and it's frankly too clunky for any fan to adopt. One of those instances where basically anything would have been better than "Rivalry Game."

Ducks 31-13 1 Turnover 1 Sack 203 Yards Passing Too much looking ahead and too much rest for regular starters makes this game uncomfortable.

BTW...wasn't he one of those who wanted it changed originally?

He has written this twice in the past week, that he ready to move back to Civil War, from Rivalry Game. He cited a history professor who acknowledged that one side did, in fact, fight the war to continue slavery, and the other side fought to end it....and won. He feels that 1) that is how it should be considered, and 2) Nobody actually thinks of the real Civil War when we refer to our football game. And ESPN GameDay is doing a short clip on the return of the Platypus Trophy, so watch out for that Saturday morning.
