The performances of some of the freshmen in this game give me hope for the future. I just hope the incoming coordinators can exceed the ones they're replacing.

Indiana just completely punked Alabama and Oregon, I’d expect more of the same.

Yeah, our big game record as of late makes it look like we’re living in Tornado Alley. OBD builds this thing over 3+ months only to watch it get shredded. But, that’s football, a little like riding a hot number in Roulette. You put it all on the line every week, and what happened the previous week no longer matters - win or lose - until it’s all over. Well, for this year it’s all over, and it’s dark right now, and it’s hard to recognize who you felt you were just 4 hours earlier. So, you take a deep breath, pick up the pieces and start again. No quit. That’s life in Tornado Alley - until it isn’t.

Before my IPA induced coma sets in... I wanted to thank Jay Harris for his valiant effort tonight. He was a true bright spot in my eyes. I hope he somehow finds his way back to the roster in 2026.

Nyet. IU rolls. They are that good. (And does anyone else find it interesting that they almost always start their defense toward the direction of the play... AT the beginning of the play ... before the ball carrier gets the ball? Sometimes I think they must be getting the O's play in advance. Hmm. Dunno. But they are great in all 3 phases of the game.

Last three losses.

Too many injuries, too many distractions.. I was worried when I saw the look on Dans face coming out of the tunnel.... looked very stressed compared to the usual Dan. I think he knew. It was a great season and Im so happy to not lose to Miami!!! Hit the transfer portal.... develop our freshmen. So many changes. So big a mess out there now in college football.... We were the 3rd or 4rth best team this season!!!! Go Ducks. Go Indiana and kick you know who physical butt.

Our only losses the last two years were to the National Champs.

My Broncos are also still playing!!! Go get em Bo!!

Are you a golfer Charles?

Lots of bad breaks. We were too injured at RB, and our players were not allowed to or didn't want to play through injury. Lots of "what-ifs" as well. Maybe if there wasn't a pick 6 on the first play we could have won- despite the injuries and despite Mendoza. You never know! I expect the Ducks to be ranked in the Top-5 pre-season if Dante Moore comes back, and about #10 if we wind up with Leavitt. Hopefully Moore stays. That's about as good as it gets. It would make up for this loss (for me). This game was no big deal. I'm over it. I have no idea why any fan would not be pumped for next year. Have you seen our recruiting rankings? We're set up to be in every year. Can't win em' all.

I think I'll be rooting for Miami. I don't like Cinderellas, and I don't like disruption to the status quo. Miami and Cristobol are just about the last team/person I want to root for, though. I might only dislike Notre Dame and Alabama less.

I’m even more of an after this game. I love the direction this program is in. Remember Lanning could coach for another decade before he wins a title and he’d still be younger than Saban was before he won his first title at LSU. I don’t think it’ll take Dan that long though. Coach Cignetti is the real deal. He has paid his dues and his team is on a historic run. We haven’t seen the last of Indiana and the battles between us vs them will be legendary! Oh how I love to talk about my beloved DUCKS!!!

Too much for Ducks to overcome. Injuries, youth, transfer portal losses, coordinators juggling other duties, long distance travel, 90 percent Indiana crowd, sloppy offense/turnovers but mostly Indiana just a damn good team. A great year over all. I think the Hurricanes are doomed.

Womens Golf and softball should be great this year ....

While today did not turn out like I had hoped, I am still proud of OBD! Out of 130 plus college football teams, the Ducks were one of the last 3 standing! In spite of the anguish, keening and wailing from the first pass - er, pick six, I witnessed a very good team win a lot of games this year. 13-2 is not a bad season. I can remember when it took more than 3 years to win 13 games! Think about it, in the last 2 years OBD are 27-3, with all 3 losses coming to the eventual National Champion. ( l am assuming Cig is gonna smoke Mari a week from Monday). I trust Dan and his new Coordinators will reload over the off season and provide us with another great year next year. Go Ducks!

Ain't that the truth!

I'm disappointed... tonight. But, honestly this years team exceeded my expectations. I feel this game cemented the need for Dante to return. As long g as he does so... I'm very excited for next year. Thanks to Tosh and Will for sticking around. Now move, let us grow, and watch us soar in 2026!

I don’t say this because of the murderer’s row that Miami faced in the playoffs or how they’ve peaked at the right time. I say this because they’re playing in Miami, they’re bigger in the trenches, they run the ball very well, and their defense is built to keep a QB like Mendoza under wraps. This Indiana team reminds me of the 2014 Ducks team. We killed FSU because of their turnovers and then we got worn down by a more physical Ohio State team despite forcing four turnovers. If the Canes run the ball consistently without trying to be cute they can wear the Hoosiers defense down. They can’t rely on Beck. They have to play Mario-ball.

Season ticket holder and absolute fan! Sometimes it is just painful to watch bad football though, knowing what this team could do!!

I say the glass is more than half-full. And, it's a good-looking glass, too.

Been going to games at Autzen since 1976. Not on a bandwagon. We did much better tonight then back in the late seventies.

It’s not the number of wins. It’s how the seasons end and how Oregon performs on the biggest stages time and time again.

No Oregon fans, the Ducks aren't cursed, but I understand why it feels that way Once again Oregon was splattered on the biggest stage late in a season. It feels like deja vu. That doesn't mean this team will never win it all.

A reminder for all? We can say anything in the GAMEDAY threads, but in regular forum threads, we remain the "Forum-with-Decorum."
