Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I've seen quite a few of these articles, and today had one in the Eugene R-G by Don Kahle, who usually writes a bunch of fluffy nonsense. But he proposed a bunch of new name candidates, and the vast majority matched the level of his typical missives, but a few caught my eye. I would love your thoughts and suggestions as well. The Oregon Classic (This is what it was known as prior to 1937, and should be considered a leading candidate?) The Platypus Bowl The Platypus Cup (This is my second favorite) War for the Willamette Willamette War (This is my favorite as it is short--has our violence embedded and has a bit a alliteration.) Willamette River Rivalry Oregon War The Oregon Bowl Boss of the Moss RainBowl The Reign in the Rain Turf War Slugfest Thoughts? Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

C J No. 4 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Platypus Bowl or Platypus Cup are my favorite. The history is there and it makes biological sense. However, it does seem that a majority of the fan base is refusing to walk away from the previous moniker of "Civil War". Does this say something about the fan base?

Steven A Moderator No. 5 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Although maybe most appropriate, the Platypus Bowl although appropriate, gives the rest of the country more fodder to criticize the schools. "No name game" game? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie No. 6 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Of those listed, The Oregon Classic or Willamette Valley Rivalry. I but still like Valley Classic, proposed by someone previously on a different thread. (Sorry--I forget who!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Ducker1 No. 7 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) The Hazelnut Bowl? The Timber Bowl? The Rain Bowl? The Cranberry Bowl? The Blackberry Bowl? The Peppermint Bowl? The Rhubarb Bowl? The Grass Seed Bowl? Oregon is the #1 Producer in the US for these things, except rain. Edited November 26, 2021 by 1Ducker1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EzDucksIt No. 10 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) How about "The Damn Quacker Bowl". Trophy is a pond with a beaver moving a log to the side with a duck paddling around. I may have been drinking when I thought of this. . . just sayn, I'll be quiet now. Edited November 26, 2021 by EzDucksIt 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haywarduck No. 12 Share Posted November 27, 2021 How about the Homey game, or the 'Winners Out Bowl, make it the only rivalry game where the winner gets to play at home. You win, you get to play at home until the opposing team wins. If people want to get rid of the traditional name, get rid of the traditional, tradition of playing every other at home. Make the loser earn it, put some zip into losing and zest into winning, 'The Winners Bowl!' The motto 'Oregon, Where Winning Matters!' Maybe we could make the same agreement with the dawgs?
