For the past couple of seasons, the rivalry between the Ducks and the Beavers has gone without a name. Formerly known as the Civil War, the two schools decided to move away from that moniker because the actual American Civil War was fought over slavery.
This decision and the lack of a replacement name have left fans on both sides of the rivalry confused and eager for a name, any name, to call the end-of-season football game here in the state of Oregon.
Earlier this week, Oregon’s Athletic Director Rob Mullens was asked if they had made any progress in finding a new name, and he gave some unfortunate news for fans who are eager to move on from a rivalry with no name.
