With conference realignment having left the Pac-12 Pac-10 Pac-8 Pac-2 a blighted wasteland that only the Beavers and Cougars remain cursed to roam. Wherever both teams end up in the future, whether its a new Pac, the Mountain West or maybe even the Big XII, it seems likely that OSU and WSU will be there together.
With the future of the Apple Cup and the Oregon-Oregon State rivalry games in doubt, the Beavers and Cougars could be each other’s biggest rival for the near future. With today’s matchup about to kickoff, the Beaver-Cougar rivalry needs a cool name to go with it.
