The rules of engagement (per College Game Balls):

Before playing pick a side North (Oregon State) or South (Oregon).

• Whenever your side gives up points it’s 1 drink for 3 or less and 2 drinks for 4 or more. 
• 1 drink if the LeGarrette Blount punch is mentioned, 3 drinks if they show the video. Then promptly fist pump. 
• If your side is the North it’s 1 drink for every dumbass Jesse Palmer comment, if you’re the South do the same for Craig James. (honor system in play here for what constitutes a ‘dumbass comment’) 
• Any time an announcer mentions the last time Oregon State was in the Rose Bowl was 1965, take a drink. 
• Any time an announcer laments the fact that somebody who isn’t USC is going to win the Pac 10, finish your drink. 
• If Erin Andrews says something along the lines of, "it’s getting loud in here", that’s 3 drinks. 
• Any time the game is compared to the actual Civil War, finish your drink. 
• Any time Phil Knight is mentioned, 2 drinks. If they show him, that’s 5 drinks. 
• If an announcer segues from Chip Kelly to talking about Brian Kelly to ND by saying "speaking of Kelly", finish your drink. 
• If there’s a reference to Appomattox Court House, finish your drink. 
• Anytime, anything, about Oregon’s uniforms are mentioned that’s 2 drinks.
