LADuck No. 5 Share Posted November 22, 2022 OK ... problem solved. I went into Thesaurus.Com and typed in the sentence "Oregon plays in the Civil War this weekend." The first three options with changing Civil were: "Oregon plays in the Civilian Bowl this weekend." "Oregon plays in the Domestic Bowl this weekend." "Oregon plays in the Governmental Bowl this weekend." All great options so maybe we create a poll and go with the winner? I like the Governmental Bowl. We can put a large tax on the tickets and give the fans nothing new in return. LOL 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krsmqn No. 6 Share Posted November 22, 2022 (edited) I love the little jab at OSU's former president. Civil War, always. But if we must... Why not keep "civil" and drop "war"? I.e. Civil Bowl, Civil Rivalry, Civil Game, etc... The point Canzano makes is a valid one. It's been 2 years? ... Let's make a decision.

Desert Duck No. 8 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Civil - sĭv′əl - adjective "Of or relating to citizens and their interrelations with one another or with the state." "Courteous; obliging; well bred; affable; often, merely or formally polite; not discourteous." The Civil War is the ideal name. The other creative aspect about these two words being used together is that combined, they are really an oxymoron. When it comes to this game, especially when so much is on the line, there is very little "civil" going on in this "war." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Fan 76 No. 10 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I honestly barely register that the name "officially" changed. While that might influence the merchandising of the game and likely the announcers it doesn't change it for me. I asked my buddy last week if he was going to the civil war game and he said yes. He wasn't the least bit confused. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Duck72 No. 14 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I don't usually like to label myself because I don't live my life like that. But in this case I will. I'm an African American who grew up in Salem during the 70's and 80's when there were hardly any minorities around. I know what racism is, been pulled over and followed around stores, I've had things yelled at me and friends houses I couldn't go into because my skin is brown. I've seen it all in this state. But my family, friends and other people I know who are minorities have never, ever had a problem with this football game being called the Civil War. We are smart enough to know that this game has nothing to do with American history. It's just a football game between the Ducks and the Beavs. That's it. Nothing more. Some may disagree and that's ok. But for me and mine this game should be still called the Civil War. I understand and appreciate folks who are trying to relate to the Black experience in this country but sometimes we as humans tend to take things to far. 2 1 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic No. 15 Share Posted November 23, 2022 It's still "the Civil War" because that's what most (if not all) the fans are calling it at all the tailgaters I dropped into the last two games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sousa No. 16 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Down through history there have been "civil wars" all over the world. A civil war is when two factions in the same country are fighting militarily for control of the country. I moved to Oregon as an adult (I immigrated legally, as I married a native born Oregonian). I always thought that the civil war game was so named because it was Oregonians fighting Oregonians on the gridiron for football supremacy of Oregon. The United States civil war - The War Between the States" - never entered my mind. Nor did slavery, nor race relations in any way. I just always thought Oregonians fighting Oregonians. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ktmguy2018 No. 18 Share Posted November 23, 2022 They made a rather successful movie from the Avengers line and called it "civil war"...I don't recall their being uproar about that. But, to draw inspiration from the GREAT Dr. Seuss: When Puddles battles Benny in a wet muddled puddle and Benny's getting pummeled by Puddles with a paddle....AND Benny needs to cuddle in the wet muddled puddle but can't because Puddles doesn't huddle, they call that the: CIVIL WAR. And I apologize to Mr. Seuss for destroying the Tweetle Beetle Battle... 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyin Vee No. 21 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Come big game Week there are ducks and beavers sharing a sidewalk, an office, a line at the grocery store, friendly and CIVIL banter ensued. fans of both rivals know it’s a slugfest, a clash, a beating, a battle, a WAR no mater the final score.

Mic No. 22 Share Posted November 23, 2022 From the above article we read this: In June of 2020, then-Oregon State president Ed Ray talked with then-Oregon president Michael Schill and issued a statement. Ray wrote, “Changing this name is overdue as it represents a connection to a war fought to perpetuate slavery.” In regards to this I say: "Changing this name was stupid and anti-historical as it once represented a war fought to end slavery. And it did. Drop this politically-correct nonsense and stop the virtue-signaling. Let the fans have their excitement and let's never forget what it cost this nation to free an enslaved people. Ed Ray should be rejected for this . just my opinion 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
