Cheer on a Civil War Game at University of Oregon
Attending a sports game is a common tradition across most campuses, but this one comes with a Platypus Trophy.
Between the Ducks and Beavers, this trophy has been passed down since 1959. We should probably mention it went missing for 40 years, but now it’s back in safe hands.
From football to volleyball, you can attend Civil War games across every sport and season. Make sure to throw your “O” in the stands too. Fun fact: The popular college movie, Animal House was filmed on campus.
