It’s game day and the anxious butterflies in my stomach are going crazy! Not only is it the last game of the regular season for our Ducks but it’s the Civil War game. I have heard people say that this is not a rivalry game but I can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t be, and it seems to be …

Oregon State hasn’t defeated Oregon since 2007. In the seven years since, the programs have gone in entirely opposite directions.
