The irony about the gambling ban in Oregon is that it’s a state that has legalized most addictive drugs, legalized assisted suicide and has liberal ideas on most everything, yet won’t let adults place a simple bet. But then again, it won’t let you Pump your own gas either. Go figure. 🤪
Put me down as a supporter of it remaining The Civil War. Although “The Oregon Civil War” works if that would appease the fools who somehow equate the term “civil war” as promoting slavery. But if all else fails, perhaps it could be called the Cascade Cup. Another thought is that if the name was Willamette something, it could be entertaining to hear East Coast sportscasters fumble the pronunciation…
SEC prominence - it's all about population. If you watch "Pardon the Interruption" you will hear Wilbon (a Chicago guy) yelling at Tony about "you I-95" people. It goes back to the dominance of the press based in the East, and how well they have been wined and dined all these many years. The time zones and sheer herd of pontificaters are tough for the Pac10 to overcome. Plus they take turns upsetting each other on the field. That's my uninformed take.
I do not do well with jokes and riddles. My brain is not wired for them. The horse was named Friday. I had help. Who names a horse Friday? Saturday fun times began on Friday in this home!

Thanks for sharing this Q&A
Oregon's annual Civil War...makes it clear it is an annual event in Oregon.

Upsetting on the fields. (and I used to be a decent writer myself, sigh!)
The teams, not the writers.
Friday is the name of his horse!
