Thanks EBDD for the Thanksgiving message! Hope all OBDers have a wonderful day! And, if by chance it is your fate, thank goodness it won’t take much to have loftier thoughts than a Husky fan.

That’s why I say make it a part of the playoff or do away with it.

I was at the game taking verbal abuse from Fusky fans, who suddenly went quiet and wouldn't engage me after the Smith to Johnson TD pass ("the catch). What great memories!

I never thought of him as a Beavis honk as much as a driving narrative to preserve himself honk. My lack of regard stems from how frequently he’s just flat out wrong with his “scoops”. I swear I have better connections than he does.

A little more salt please!

I don't think he cares about any person or team in sports. I think he simply like to muck it up to get subscribers. What I am saying is that I find him to be entirely made of artifice and thus I avoid his work. I actually shudder when I turn on Steve Tannen at 3 and accidentally hear Clownzano's voice instead.

Yes, Happy Thanksgiving to all. I for one am thankful to Charles & Co. for all they do to make Fishduck.com such an amazing place. I love it. Enjoy the day, family, friends and get ready for a beat down of those pesky pups to the north!

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

A Happy Thanksgiving to the OBD Family. As you gather with others tomorrow: Count your blessings and those of your families and friends. Practice forbearance and patience, even with that crazy uncle with the tin foil hat or the aunt that sneaks turkey and stuffing into her purse to take home to her twelve cats. Be kind to the relation that sits on the opposite end of the political spectrum from you (or is a UW fan), and won't shut the **** up about it. Smile, think lofty thoughts and help clear the table and rinse the dishes. Thanksgiving is a uniquely American holiday, rooted in our humble origins and the need for a common currency of individual rights and laws that protect the diversity of our populace. That currency remains a magnet that draws people to our shores. We are not perfect, nor has our historical execution of liberty been ideal, but the achievable dream of a more perfect union endures. I know this is off topic for Oregon sports and If I have annoyed anyone with my sappy message, I do apologize. Nevertheless: Happy Thanksgiving and best to all tomorrow. Go Ducks and Beat the Fuskys!

Anyone else notice Akili Smith Jr. in the uniform reveal video, as they are showing clips of his dad’s TD pass to Patrick Johnson in Seattle? LOL.

My first year as a season ticket-holder...and now in year 39...

'86 sounds about right. Chris Miller made a PERFECT throw to the East/South corner end zone, Verdun was in the PERFECT spot to receive. The ball hit him dead on the numbers, but it was the back of his jersey! All he had to do was turn around and catch the ball. He didn't turn around. Typical DUCK Luck back then.

Close! 1997...

Go Ducks!!!

I like it!

It's a beautiful thing...

Patrick Johnson game? The year after The Pick?

Which is sweeter? The pleasant memory, or knowing how it will drive Washington fans crazy? Watch the video!

Diehard fans for "more green & yellow" in OBD uniforms are gonna love these: https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2025/11/26/oregon-football-rivarly-week-uniforms-washington/87485523007/

Does this uniform remind you of a particular past game in Seattle?

Rumor has it that next man up for Beavis, is head coach Joseph Smith? Not from the BYU Cougars, this Joe is the HC of the Linfield University Wildcats. 🤪 Linfield AD, and former MLB player, Scott Brosius, promises to use some of his and/or Pat McAfee's $$$ to match the offer from Beavis and keep Joe mellow in McMinnville. My confidential sources tell me that Joe's Agent, Jimmy GPS, Jimmy Sexton's 4th cousin twice removed, has told Brosius he wants a deal done for Smitty before the next millennium. Makes sense. No one, including John Canzano, wants Beavis in coaching purgatory beyond 2099. In other big-time college football news, this Saturday, having dispatched Colby College, Bowdoin College will try to master Bates College. 😁

Didn’t the ball hit him in the face mask? In my opinion, Chris Miller era marked the start of Oregon’s rise from the ashes. We had good starters in those years, but no depth.

I believe it was 1986...Oregon is trying to make a last ditch comeback, and on 4th down--Chris Miller fires to an open receiver who does not even see the ball. (Zeth Verdun)

With all the noise about the Ducks/Huskies this week, I got to thinking about some of the more obscure games over the years. This was the biggest game all season for most of the years I've been paying attention, since 1975. We all know about The Pick, but it wouldn't have been as big a deal if it hadn't been for all those heartbreaking losses in the 70's and 80's. The one that comes to mind had to do with a player named Zeth Verdun. Anyone remember that game?
