I think now Oregon State just uses “Beavs”.
Could be. The relatives that I remain closest to in the state that are most sports oriented unfortunately pull for the Fighting Ducks (though now maybe that has switched to the Pacifist Ducks?).
I do know that they have trashed the term Civil War as somehow being oppressive to non-Whites.
Fortunately, they have yet to figure out that they need to rename Lane County (home of the University of Oregon) which was named after Joseph Lane, the Vice President on the SOuthern Democratic ticket in 1860
