As a lifelong Duck fan I think this is such a great alternative. It already has history, it's somewhat tongue-in-cheek (works for our region), and it's something the rivalry hasn't had since it went "missing" (there is no rivalry trophy otherwise). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does not get much better than having a half duck/beaver creature as your trophy. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepis21 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I never knew about something like a Platypus trophy, but I recognized that is so freakin' cool even if trophy itself doesn't look good. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Might as well call the rivalry Animal Farm because it's a literal zoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideRight Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I am sure the students will come up with a hilarious, sophomoric, and likey obscene name for the battle between the ducks and beavers, if they haven't already. If not, then "The Woke Bowl" makes sense for Oregon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobster Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 "a war between opposing groups of citizens of the same country" It doesn't necessarily mean the American Civil War. But I'm sure an institute of higher learning knows that already.... 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect that all 12 people who live east of Hood River would not find it very appropriate, but since something like 95% of all Oregonians live west of Hood River, I think it still works. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Is this another one of those intrastate rivalries where the University of ____ denigrates _____ State as a humble agricultural college for hopeless rubes who were too stupid for the real flagship, and then jangles their keys at them to signify that all they'll ever amount to is parking other people's cars, even though all these Division I universities are well-funded, highly sophisticated, and heavily administrated institutions that have abandoned their public missions and turned aside their own residents in order to get fat on retail-price tuition from the children of Chinese bureaucrats and Gulf State oil barons? If so, cool, I hope the farmers get one back on those stuffed shirts, I hate that lousy dean. 21 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCMacbeth Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Can I make a suggestion? How about holding a naming contest for a new rivalry game? Winner gets seasons tickets to see the Oregon-Oregon State games? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
