Civil War (college football game) 1195657 223438089 2008-07-04T02:10:57Z NickByrne33 7417161 The '''Civil War''' is the colloquial name for the annual [[college]] [[American 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 [[List of NCAA college football rivalry games|rivalry game]] in the [[United States]]. ==History== The game is played in November or early December, alternating between [[Reser Stadium]] in [[Corvallis, Oregon|Corvallis]] (home field of Oregon State University) and [[Autzen Stadium]] in [[Eugene, Oregon|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".<ref name=osualum>{{cite web|title=Up Close and Personal: Greatest Civil War Games|last=Edmonston Jr.|first=George|url=http://www.osualum.com/s/359/index.aspx?sid=359&gid=1&pgid=454|publisher=Oregon State Alumni Association|accessdate=2007-12-21}}</ref> 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 (college rivalry)|Civil War]] games. ==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 [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] Division I football game has ended in a scoreless tie since, and due to the recent introduction of [[overtime (sport)|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. ==Scores== Oregon victories are shaded in <font color="#004900">██</font> green. <br>Oregon State victories are shaded <font color="ff6600">██</font> orange. ===1890s to 1926=== Home team listed second where applicable, winner in bold where applicable. {| class="wikitable" !
