Oregon–Oregon State rivalry

(Redirected from Civil War (college rivalry))

The Oregon–Oregon State rivalry (formerly known as the Civil War[1]) is a college rivalry between the University of Oregon and Oregon State University. The rivalry is one of the oldest in the nation, dating back to 1894 when the two universities' football teams first met. Although the college football game is the most popular rivalry, the two universities have noted rivalry games in every sport that both sponsor. There is also an academic rivalry between the schools on occasion, and competitions for community services such as blood drives take place often.

All-time records edit

Although determining the overall series winner is a fairly recent practice, all-time records for sports between the universities have been kept since play started.

Men's sports edit

Baseball edit

[2] The 2005 and 2006 seasons saw a rare unity between the schools in rooting for the Oregon State baseball team during the 2005 and 2006 College World Series. The Beavers went two-and-out (i.e., lost their first two games in the double-elimination event) in 2005, but won the national title in 2006 and 2007. With the recent success of the Oregon State Baseball program, the University of Oregon reinstated their baseball program in 2009.

Basketball edit

The men's basketball rivalry is one of the most contested games between any two teams in the nation, with an NCAA record 362 games played as of the December 31, 2022. The Beavers also hold the NCAA record for the third most wins against a single team (the Ducks) with the series' 193–169 record.[3]
