From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Civil War is the colloquial name for the annual college football game in the U.S. state of Oregon between the Oregon State Beavers and the Oregon Ducks. First played in 1894, it is the seventh-oldest college football rivalry game in the United States.

[edit] History

The game is played in November or early December, alternating between Reser Stadium in Corvallis (home field of Oregon State University) and Autzen Stadium in Eugene (home field of the University of Oregon). It has been contested 111 times as of 2007. The University of Oregon holds a series lead of 55-46-10. The game was not contested in 1900, 1901, 1911, 1943, and 1944. The first reference to the "Civil War" name was in 1929 and came into common use in 1937. Prior to that, it was called the "Oregon Classic" or the "State Championship Game".^[1]

From 1997 through 2006 the winner of the game was the home team, until, in 2007, Oregon State beat the University of Oregon at Autzen Stadium 38-31 in double overtime.

From 1959 to 1961, the Platypus Trophy was awarded to the winning school. The trophy was lost for 40 years and found in 2005, and beginning with the 2007 game, is to be awarded to the winning school's alumni association.

Other athletic contests (most notably, men's and women's basketball) between the schools are also referred to as Civil War games.

[edit] Memorable games

The 1983 contest between the two teams produced a scoreless tie. Played during a rainstorm (and pitting two mediocre squads against each other), the game is commonly known as the "Toilet Bowl," due to the poor quality of play exhibited in the game (it was not a steadfast defensive struggle). No NCAA Division I football game has ended in a scoreless tie since, and due to the recent introduction of overtime into NCAA football (which eliminated ties), it is unlikely to ever happen in the future, unless a subsequent rule change allows tie games to once again occur.
