    Who thinks this may become the most critical game of the season for BOTH teams?

    I do.

    Records will go out the window. It'll be a gargantuan tussle. It's the most important game of the year for both teams. However. sadly, I must give the edge to the hated Ducks. Why are they hated? Well, they're the Ducks and the only other significant football team in Oregon besides the beloved Beavers, the All American, All Oregonian team. Who's gonna bet me a beer? Okay, I might have to buy a lot of beers but just think of all the free beers if I win. I can drown in suds.

    OK, well, I already owe you a fantastic steak dinner @ The Ringside (or such).

    Soooooo...

    How can I get some sort of double-or-nothing bet into the mix. Hmmmm??

    An epic civil war showdown would be nice, on par with Blazers kicking ass in the playoffs.

    Why would you use facts in attempts to ruin someones stereotypes? That doesn't seem like a fair tactic.

    It is now, but it used to be more conservative as a big aggie school.

    Ok, Im wrong now. I still have visions of going to watch my Ducks there back in the 60/70's with school police on horseback controlling the crowd coming and going. They didn't use whips however.
    That school used to be well know as an Aggie school and probably still is, I would venture to say many were conservative in their beliefs, nothing wrong with that.

    Been a long time, my daughter went there in the 90's and had two kids at Oregon and it just seemed that OSU was not as political as Oregon.

    Ok, grandpa.... Oregon State changed from the aggie name in 1937.

    Would you say the south is more democrat than the North?

    Southern states leaned strongly democrat and north republican more recently than 1937.
