The University of Oregon competes in one of the nation's oldest football rivalries with Oregon State University, known as the "Civil War"; the two teams have faced each other nearly every year since 1894 (with five years not played). The Ducks achieved a Bowl Championship Series ranking of #2 during the 2007-2008 season, but lost momentum following an injury to star quarterback Dennis Dixon.

Jeffrey Mogil, director of the pain genetics laboratory at McGill University in Montreal, is one of the leading advocates of such “pink and blue” painkillers. Pick a disease at random, he says, and the chances are that females and males will handle the pain associated with it differently. That seems to be true in mice, at least. When new mouse “models” of human disease are created by genetic engineers, Dr Mogil and his colleagues are often asked to test the engineered mice for their responses to pain. They consistently find differences in the way the mutant, diseased mice and their non-mutation-carrying brethren respond to painful stimuli. But, generally, those differences are seen more strongly in one sex than the other.

The University of Oregon's 280 acre (1.1 km²), park-like campus is home to more than 500 varieties of trees. Campus legends state that a botanist, who was researching trees that could survive in the Willamette Valley, planted at least one of every kind of survivable tree on the campus. Nearly all of the original trees have survived, though some have been destroyed by natural causes such as windstorms. Notable campus trees include the only trees on campus when classes began in 1876 -- two oak trees near Villard Hall called the Condon Oaks, a tree germinated on a lunar expedition, and a Dawn Redwood tree, which was once thought to be extinct.

Last year, University of Texas quarterback Vince Young was crowned as the Cingular All-America Player of the Year, beating out USC teammates Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart and University of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn. He was the second Longhorn to claim the award, after running back Cedric Benson won the inaugural honor in 2004.
