    Kinda weird that the Ducks vs. Beavers game is not being played as the last regular season game this year. I wonder why? Black Friday game.

    Ooops, sorry....my thread title was insensitive. Or so it seems.

    Oregon State and Oregon announced Friday that they no longer will use the term “Civil War” in connection with their sports rivalry games.

    The annual football game between the Ducks and Beavers has been referred to as the Civil War for nearly 90 years. More recently, games in other sports involving the two schools also have been called the same term.

    In a statement released by OSU, president Ed Ray said the universities agreed to drop the name as it has a connection to a war fought to preserve slavery.
