Thursday night football - open thread
For anyone who wants to get away from the ridiculousness that is the Michigan football program for a night, there is football to watch tonight. Tonight's slate features:
UCF at Houston, 7:00 on ESPN
Florida Atlantic at Florida International, 7:00 and not on television
Arizona at Oregon, 10:30 on ESPN
I'm not a big NFL fan, but the Vikings play in Green Bay at 8:30 on NFL Network.

Arizona is gonna have a hard time with their o-line down two right now.... was looking like a good game, but they're gonna have to get fancy with the offense....
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:18 PM ^
Sweet play call
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:19 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:25 PM ^
a couple fucking go pros aimed down the goal line would suffice... it's ridiculous.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:31 PM ^
The refs love maintaining homefield advantage too much and letting crowd noise influence calls.

maybe if hoke won't do the spread punt we can try having devin do the pooch punt?
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:35 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:45 PM ^
I don't see it going well for arizona after that last injury... their offense hasn't been able to do shit since they lost another front man.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:47 PM ^
horrid PI call
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:47 PM ^
wow that was an AWFUL call in multiple ways.
talk about karma though...
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:49 PM ^
Purty forced fumble.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:47 PM ^
Who would have thought this would be a defensive struggle?
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:48 PM ^
sweet pass to himself.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:50 PM ^
a lot of poise for a true freshman QB on the road in a tough environment. Must be nice.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:54 PM ^
Passes to RBs are still allowed in CFB?
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:56 PM ^
The last 4 weeks as the schedule has probably been the worst in the past 20 years. No lie. It's been AWFUL.
Get ready for 4 weeks of AMAZING matchups...starting this week.
I'm not sure how I'm going to watch all of this, I'm going to have to pull out the multiple TVs.
This is why all the b/s Hoke/Brandon stuff needs to go away, too much good football this weekend.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:56 PM ^
gosh thats frustrating.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:56 PM ^
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:57 PM ^
always turnovers..
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:57 PM ^
should not be a fumble
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:57 PM ^
Beautiful drive, right up until the fumble.
October 2nd, 2014 at 11:59 PM ^
RB right knee was down while still in posession of the ball.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:02 AM ^
there have been a few calls so far making it seem like AZ is getting homered.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:01 AM ^
I'm stunned that Arizona is even close to Oregon at this point. If RR wins this game WTKA and this website are going to meltdown.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:01 AM ^
3 mentions of executing in 45 seconds. Fire RR!!!
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:04 AM ^
RichRod always had too many turnovers. So glad we got that under control.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:06 AM ^
My picks for those games...MSU, Stanford, Alabama, Auburn
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:11 AM ^

Skipping UM altogether eh? hah
Miss State is 12? wow
Not much interesting in the Pac 12 - but the resst of the slate is solid. The Ole Miss v Alabama will be interesting to see how legit Hugh Freeze's team is. Hoping Stanford ransacks ND.
At least they didnt put all the decent game at 8 pm this week.
Go Terps!

I don't feel like wasting another Saturday. Last weekend was a disaster, I can't do that again, that was unhealthy.
I'll just tape it...enjoy my day and night and have fun and smile for once. It's just too good of a slate to piss it away with this nonsense right now. Like I said, I'll watch Sunday morning since I rarely watch the NFL preview stuff all morning. It'll give me something to do.
I'm sure the Open thread is going to be out of control on Saturday night too, all the drinking and after this week...just a bunch of jackwagons who never post, but all of a sudden want to come on the site and act ridiculous.
Probably better just to enjoy the day and stay away.
Hey, maybe I'll drive to the bay. What do ya say?
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:23 AM ^
...I really don't think I'm going to watch our game live.
That's just too good of a day for college football. I don't want to ruin it with frustrations from Michigan. You don't even get bowl days that are this good.
I think I'll just DVR it and watch it on Sunday morning.
That's 2 "can't miss" games in each viewing block...plus the 2 west coast games for the nightcap which are always fun (like tonight).
I'd much rather watch those as a college football fan and just trick myself into thinking we have a bye. I'll watch Sunday morning before NFL and it'll be a great weekend of football assuming we win.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:30 AM ^
That's a stellar Saturday of college football.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:21 AM ^
Damn, dude has speed.
What's speed?
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:25 AM ^
ok lets go to the other thread since we're just talking to ourselves here.
October 3rd, 2014 at 12:27 AM ^
But I'm reposting that chart I made...that took some time.
