  Whereas the 2009 football programs of the University of Oregon
and Oregon State University experienced outstanding seasons in
the Pac-10 Conference; and
  Whereas the efforts of both programs propelled the State of
Oregon into the national limelight; and
  Whereas both Oregon and Oregon State were recognized in the
nation's top-25 rankings during much of the season; and
  Whereas on December 3, 2009, Oregon and Oregon State met for
the 113th time in the annual Civil War game; and
  Whereas for the first time in Civil War history the two teams
played for the right to represent the Pac-10 Conference at the

outstanding contests in the 113-year history of the rivalry; and
  Whereas Oregon represented the State of Oregon in the Rose Bowl
and Oregon State represented the State of Oregon in the Las Vegas
Bowl while finishing first and second in the Pac-10 race; and
  Whereas Oregon Coach Chip Kelly was named Pac-10 Coach of the
Year and Oregon State, coached by Mike Riley, had seven players
named to the All-Pac-10 first team, which is more than any other
school; and

to all Oregonians; now, therefore,
Be It Resolved by the Legislative Assembly of the State of
