Desert Duck No. 3 Share Posted November 19, 2023 In my humble opinion, and while I'd love to see the Civil War continue, no Oregon team should ever be subjected, and relegated, to having to play on that blue smurf rug thing again. There outta be a law against that kind of hideous thing. 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic No. 5 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I sure hope it happens. It would be a crying shame to see this great tradition go away or fall by the wayside. GO OREGON! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 6 Share Posted November 20, 2023 (edited) The Apple Cup is on from 2024 - 2028 but OH ST canceling out on UW left a scheduled opening for 2024/25. I see no reason whatsoever why Oregon should pay money to fit the Beavers into future schedules and if Oregon does so, OSU best agree to play back-to-back in Autzen. Oregon plays Ohio State and UW next season and on the road in Michigan and Wisconsin. Do you want to add another quasi-P4 opponent to Texas Tech with a new QB coming in? And, BTW, OSU is suing Oregon and trying to gloom onto money that Oregon and not OSU earned. Beavers be dammed.

GatOrlando No. 7 Share Posted November 20, 2023 To me this seems like the eventual understanding that Oregon State needs that game more than they wanna admit. Same for Washington State. Temper tantrums, finger pointing and name calling won't change what's happened. Oregon will have USC, Washington,UCLA, Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State coming to Eugene. Oregon State will have Washington State, Fresno State, Boise State, San Diego State, and New Mexico coming to Corvallis. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 9 Share Posted November 20, 2023 No! They have been stealing from Oregon, and will continue to if we wimp out. See 11-20-23 article on FishDuck. Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Marsh No. 10 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Reasonably speaking here ... what could be done is for Oregon State to not have BSU on their "conference" schedule next year and instead Oregon gives OSU the BSU game and Oregon plays OSU. I mean that does mean for Oregon that they give up effectively a free win against BSU (they are a rebuild) for a team that is far more dangerous in OSU. But it also gives OSU 2 OCC games at that point which helps fill their potential schedule needs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevada Dawg No. 11 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Maintaining traditional rivalries is always good as far as I am concerned, As for OSU being relegated to a lower existence, Georgia has kept its rivalry with Georgia Tech, and the people speaking badly about stooping to play the lowly Yellow Jackets display the kind of snootiness that makes others dislike USC and its followers here out West. I am starting to get the same kind of vibes from those who want to let the OSU rivalry go. tThis will certainly not make me popular in this forum, but that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 12 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Canzano is selling out Oregon, and his Duck readers for the biggest theft ever in NCAA history. You know me; I always present facts and reasonable rationale. See it on Monday... 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB89 No. 13 Share Posted November 20, 2023 I think Oregon did what they had to do when we left for the Big10 conference. Now OSU and WSU are doing what they need to do to have the best chance of surviving the beak up of the PAC-12. The ten schools that left are doing what they need to do to get as much money as possible from the PAC-12. I do not blame either side for looking out for their best interest. The courts will decide how much money each school will receive and neither side will get everything that they want. As a native Oregonian and lifelong Duck fan, I hope the Civil War football game continues to be played every year. The Civil War is good for the State of Oregon. I am glad that both the men's and women's basketball teams plan on playing each year. I am positive that the baseball, softball and volleyball teams will continue as well. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 14 Share Posted November 20, 2023 If they get away with stealing more than their one-twelfth share, the we should never play them again in any sport. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washington Waddler Moderator No. 15 Share Posted November 20, 2023 Hate to say it, but right now the Washington schools seem to be doing a better job of keeping the emotional, bridge burning rhetoric in check enough so as to let cooler minds negotiate a continuance of their rivalry. Pullman could be blaming Seattle for their demise as much as Seattle could be screaming bloody murder over the Cougs conspiring with the Beavs for all that cash, but instead appear to be retaining focus on the bigger picture of a continuing tradition over who gets how much in the short term. Don’t get me wrong. 400 LARGE is a lot of dough. But is it worth building a Berlin Wall over? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noDucknewby No. 16 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The Civil War is an Oregon tradition. I grew up in a house divided. I'm with you JB89, the CW is good for the state of Oregon, I'd hate to see it go away. I feel the courts will square the $ part of the equation and everybody can move on. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
