Hubba-Hubba! Northwestern has a 22-21 lead on Michigan with ten minutes left! (On Fox)

14-3, Notre Dame over Pitt with five minutes left in the second quarter.

7-3, Michigan ahead of Northwestern with five minutes left in the second quarter.

I'm sure it has happened...but I cannot recall when someone actually nailed the exact score of the game (42-13) as FG Lumber did! No tiebreakers needed, and pretty cool. Thanks to all who had fun with it, and congrats to FG Lumber!

Great points— you would never know Minnesota’s national stats, by just casually watching the game. Both Oregon coordinators did a great job tonight…

Let’s move the conversation out to new threads on the front page!

I know I was surprised. I felt that with Dak and Bryant out, we were in for a tough road. But having the beast and Harkey back was much bigger than I anticipated. The gophers looked pretty tough in other games,… Were you surprised?

Here we are my Duck-Buddies, the thread for pondering the actual game as it happens. Let's discuss before, and during the game! I have made a major change in how we will moderate our GameDay threads. Bottom line, is that you will be allowed to spew your frustration, to vent, as you wish. But Note the Parameters: --This is for GameDay threads only; you have to behave in the regular forum threads as in the past. --You cannot take shots at those who disagree with you, just like in the forum during the week. Remember how we discussed this upfront in this thread. Let's Have Fun Posting During the Game!

Great point....if they have nothing to play for and come to Autzen? Love it!

Everyone thought Oregon would react like this coming into the Big-10...

Wowsa!

In reference to Will Stein...

Gotta get you the tasty stuff!

Because they could tie on one tiebreaker, and then each win a tiebreaker....for another tie. First post is the final tiebreaker....

I can't copy the article from The Athletic, but I can give you the most important sliver! Who would we, as a college football nation, be most OK with winning it? Which team would most nauseate us? Here’s an attempt to read the very large room. Remember, if your team is near the bottom of this list, it’s probably because it’s usually very good and annoys people. 1. Oregon: Let’s start by acknowledging that completely out-of-nowhere champions don’t satisfy the masses. Think of March Madness. Everyone loves the underdog early. Saint Peter’s beating Kentucky is amazing. Saint Peter’s getting to the second weekend, hell yes. But maybe the Final Four was OK without Doug Edert’s stupendous mustache? Oregon winning it all makes sense to people. This is the best program that has never done it. The Ducks have been close. Quarterback Dante Moore is fun to watch. Coach Dan Lanning is likable. The uniforms are mostly cool. Let’s give it a quack. Oregon winning its first title would be OK with the majority of fans with no dog in the fight.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | THURSDAY, November 13, 2025 MEN’S BASKETBALL | @OregonMBB Ducks Sign Tajh Ariza EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon head coach Dana Altman announced the signing of Tajh Ariza on Thursday. The five-star recruit is ranked No. 14 by 247Sports and is No. 24 in ESPN’s Top 100.
