According to the website Extreme Weather Watch the all-time high in Eugene for November 14 is 68 degrees, set in 1912. The all-time low hit in 1978, a very Minnesota-like 14 degrees Fahrenheit, a temperature that'd set even Gophers scurrying for a dry bed of leaves on uphill ground.
After two straight weeks of slantwise, incessant rain and wind gusts that threatened to send even the tightest spirals into the third row, Friday's conditions are perfect football weather, mild and pleasant. They're perfect too for the team with an advantage in speed and explosiveness. In other words, the Ducks.
The forecast for tomorrow's Big Ten clash, 6-3 Minnesota at No. 8, 8-1 Oregon keeps getting better and better, with reports calling for a high of 61, light winds and a zero percent chance of rain, nighttime low of 46, almost balmy a week before Thanksgiving. It's so mild that the petunias are blooming again on the patio.

It'll make the game a party for fans, guaranteeing a full house for "Shout." Conditions like that will allow Dante Moore and whoever is healthy enough at receiver to cook against an exploitable Gopher secondary.
The rapidly improving outlook is a strong reason why the point spread has ratcheted up four points since the open, now Oregon -+25.5.
