EUGENE - Throw the rankings and records out the window, this is the Civil War series, and bragging rights are on the line.

The second game will be played at 1:00 PM, on Sat., with the third and possible series-deciding game is set for Wed., April 25th in Corvallis.

Not only are two points on the Civil War scorecard up for grabs for the winner of the series (Oregon currently hold a 7-6 overall lead) the games are critical for the Ducks in Pac-10 play.
