Civil War - like Bedlam only with Ducks and Beavers


Thursday night the Oregon State Beavers will battle the University of Oregon Ducks. Okay, not that kind of battle, but it is a big deal in Oregon. Every year the Beavs and Ducks take their in-state rivalry to the gridiron. Past years the only thing the winning team took home was the Platypus Trophy. But this year the match-up has huge implications. The winner will go to Pasadena to take on another OSU (Ohio State) in the Rose Bowl. This is the first time in the 100+ years of this rivalry that the Civil War has determined the Pac-10 Champions. Portlanders have been so excited about this match, the news stations have been talking about the game since last week. Honestly, we thought it was going on last Saturday, they way they were covering the event. I think it will be a good game, but wear sunglasses if you watch it. On one side you will have optic orange and on the others side... well... who knows what the Ducks will be wearing.
