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. Ariza, a Los Angeles native, will play his senior season at Link Academy in Missouri, a notable prep basketball program. The 6-foot-9 forward is a versatile playmaker and one of the highest ranked prospects to join the Ducks. Ariza is the son of 18-year NBA veteran Trevor Ariza. He most recently played for his father’s alma mater, Westchester High School, where he led the team to a Los Angeles City Section title before joining Link Academy this summer. “We are excited to have Tajh join our program,” Altman said. “He’s a guy that we feel can play multiple positions and make an immediate impact in Eugene.”

And you ARE a good friend. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hello My OBD FishDuck Forum Friends! What is your prediction of Oregon versus Minnesota? Take your shot and let's have fun with it... Let's get these predictions started, and remember I look for the differential between your predicted points with both teams from the actual points. I will use the tiebreaker information when needed, so provide all the data below! Entries without ALL the information are invalid, and predictions on other threads don't count. We Have Two New Rules: If two winning scores are the same? The first one who posted wins, automatically. TerryM9 gets 42-6 locked in every time as his. (I love this guy!) Please follow directions, as I need all that is below for tiebreakers: --the winner --the score --the amount of turnovers Oregon creates --the number of sacks Oregon records on the opposing team --the number of passing yards by the Ducks. My prediction is: Oregon 38-20 1 2 231 We've played these Gophers Before!

My phone weather app says that there is ZERO chance of rain, and the temperature will be about 54 degrees at gametime, with it dipping to 48 degrees by the end of the game. It also says that it will feel warmer than it actually is. For the players? It is not hot, and yet not freezing either. Balmy compared to last week!

White pants at home? Meh.

A crazy stat that I haven't reported? PFF stated in their video the other day that the Oregon offensive line was the highest rated in the nation for pass protection! I did not think that was possible considering the Indiana game....but that is what they stated a couple of times.
