BULLSHIT!!

Oh c'mon man. Look at it this way.

You're 5-9 in the last 14 game threads you've started.
Maybe I'm good luck for the ducks.

Anyone know who Oregon plays next week?
I need to do some research and get a game thread ready.




Who am I kidding. I'll probably "wing" it.

Another state with no ocean

 

[TheReal_NU]

Quote fail, but I figured out what you said I said. I think.

You did help narrow it down and that's close enough for me.

Now there's the spirit.

OD is butt hurt?

Shocker.

@Skerpokes

You should do a game thread.

When is an official game thread TOO early??

 

[TheReal_NU]

LOL!!

Only adjustment needed is the score prediction

OD's basic score prediction is 53-24

OREGON 56

Nebraska 31

Damn close there @BoiseStateFan27

 

[TheReal_NU]

When is an official game thread TOO early??

As long as this week's game is over, you don't have to listen to the Ohio State fan. If only OD hadn't waited:

Everyone knew that was a game thread I was WAITING to create and due to some whining Ohio State poster I respectfully waited to make game thread

I'd say Saturday night around 7:00 PM central

HERE. IT. IS. THE OFFICIAL GAME THREAD OF THE OREGON DUCKS VS NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS.

Preview: Oregon hosts Nebraska at Autzen stadium on Saturday September 9, at 4:30 PM Est time, which is 1:30 PM local time in Eugene, Oregon. The Ducks are coming off a 77-21 point win vs Southern Utah while the Cornhuskers are coming off a Houdini type escape vs Sun Belt conference opponent Arkansas State with a 43-36 victory. Oregon looks to deliver revenge to Nebraska for last years upset in Lincoln, Nebraska. Although Oregon had one of its worst seasons in 35 years last year many argue the Ducks should have and would have beaten Nebraska in Lincoln had they just gone for the extra point rather then going for two.

This week the state of Oregon has been battling forest fires across the state which has made for a terrible air quality week, but all signs and forecasts point to things improved by kickoff and we are all in for a great treat! ITS FOOTBALL ON SATURDAY IN OREGON!!!

Mike Riley, the Nebraska head football coach, returns to the state of Oregon for the first time since leaving Oregon State and becoming the Nebraska head coach. Bottom line if you ask, Riley doesn't do well in Autzen stadium, but neither do a lot of teams. In recent times some other big non conference teams that have come to Autzen and lost; Michigan, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Michigan State. Nebraska, you're next.


Game Summary: Nebraska has no defense given they almost gave up 500 yards to Arkansas State and 36 points to the Red Wolves and needing a last second stop to escape the upset, at...home..Oregon is soaring with talent and confidence after their first big win under first year head coach Taggart. Oregon's offense looks like it did under Mariota and the Ducks defense seemingly has improved greatly. Also unlike last year, Oregon is healthy in this game.

I see this game going similar to it did last year in Lincoln, only this time when Oregon goes up by double digits it doesn't give up the lead and cruises to a victory.

Prediction:

OREGON 56

Nebraska 31

MERGED!

Yesterday was your 7th anniversary on SportsHoopla? Care to guess how many shits I give?

I think the winner of this game gets to keep the Western Meadowlark as the State Bird, loser has to take a Duck.

Since all oregon people speak Latin, that is Sturnella neglecta.


Western Meadowlark | State Symbols USA

Oregon State Bird | Western Meadowlark

Notice how the DUCKS are not the State Bird of Oregon? Even the children of Oregon don't like the Ducks.

Each fall, Nebraska duck hunters have the opportunity to harvest more than 15 different species of ducks that migrate through the state. Primary species typically harvested are mallard, blue- and green-winged teal, gadwall, northern pintails, American Wigeon, northern shovelers and wood ducks, with the occasional redhead, ring-necked duck or canvasback. Not only can Nebraska duck hunters encounter a number of different duck species, the diversity of habitats, from Sandhills lakes, Rainwater Basin wetlands, to Platte River sandbars offer a set of unique experiences as well as offering a long hunting season

Of course, Oregon's Duck isn't really a duck, it is a Disney Cartoon.

movies made about ducks,

widely considered one of the worst movies of all time.

Movies with Corn

Even Hollywood makes better movies about corn than they do ducks.

OD, since the 7 year Anniversary is the Copper and Wool anniversary, I'll give you one present.

I'll give you an invite to the Cactus Bowl. While not copper or wool, it used to be named the Copper Bowl.

As for wool? You already have a sheep in your backyard.

Hey Nebraska dudes, is Bryant gonna play? And will he fuck shit up again (as in get a bunch of yards and a touchdown or 2) if he does?
