As a southerner by birth who definitely takes part in our ridiculous college football past time, I find it amazing and hilarious that the in-state rivalry game here in Oregon is called the Civil War. We take our football pretty seriously down south (just look at this week's coming SEC Championship Game) and even we're not crazy enough to name a rivalry game "The Civil War". It's even funnier when you consider that the two schools in question either didn't exist, or had just been founded in 1860.

Please wait...
