Those 5 Rutgers players that were arrested the other day have been kicked off the team.

This article was in this morning's New York Times:

EDIT:  Holy shit!  It was and I apologize.  Eyes were still blurry from last night and I thought it was dated September 5.  Again I am sorry for the error.

EDIT 2:  Mods please delete.

With the victory on Thursday night, Utah joins a very small subset of Michigan opponents. Since 1945, only three other non-conference opponents have won three straight (or more) regular season games against Michigan: Army ('45, '46, '49, '50, '54); Washington ('83, '84, '01); and Notre Dame ('87 thru '90).

It's of course true that the '08 and '14 teams Utah beat were two of the weakest Michigan teams since 1969, but that doesn't obscure the fact that Utah has been a pretty strong program since 2003. I'd compare the loss in SLC to the road losses we've had at UCLA, Washington, and ND over the years in terms of strength of opponent. Utah doesn't have the major-program cachet of those teams, but last year they beat USC, UCLA, and Stanford, the latter two on the road.

Same intro! Noooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

No one wants any ying-yang in their bang bang. And take this shit intro out of my CIT-TAAAAAAAY!

Whatever, football is here. It's happy time.

Oregon State kicked off their season last night.  I wouldn't blame you for not noticing, as it was on the PAC 12 Network.  But they won Gary Anderson's first game, beating Weber State 26-7.  Their new QB ran for 152 yards, if you'd like to find something to worry about this morning.  The Beaver defense played very well also after having a poor 2015, holding WSU under 200 yards of offense and stopping them on all thirteen third down conversion attempts.

Now here's the good news:  Weber State is an FCS team coming off a 2-10 season.  The score was only 6-0 at halftime, and 13-7 after three quarters.  OSU went 6-17 on third down, and passed for only 110 yards with an interception.

I've heard some concern about this game from some fans, so what does everyone think now that we know a little more about both teams?
