- First played 130 years ago in 1894, the Oregon-Oregon State football rivalry is the fifth-most played college football rivalry game in the Football Bowl Subdivision. With the campuses less than 50 miles apart in the Willamette Valley, the series has been played continuously since 1945. The teams have split the last four meetings, but Oregon has won 13 of the last 16, including a 31-7 victory last year in Eugene. The Ducks lead the all-time series, 68-49-10. In 2023, Oregon announced it would move from the Pac-12 Conference to the Big Ten Conference beginning with the 2024 season, turning the rivalry with Oregon State into a non-conference game and putting continuation of the series in jeopardy. After the conclusion of the 2023 season, the teams announced the series would continue for at least two more years.
- “We’re excited to unveil this limited-edition Oregon vs. Oregon State Rivalry Bobblehead ahead of tomorrow’s game in Corvallis,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “This bobblehead will be the perfect way for Oregon and Oregon State fans, alumni, students, faculty, and staff to show off their school and state pride!”
