Afternoon/Evening game thread

looks like some heavy rain headed towards Columbus shortly after kickoff. Could make things interesting! 

Rocky II.

All the late window games suck.

What am I watching? To kill time, after giving up on the Ducks v Dogs game, YouTube videos of high speed police chases; 140mph +/- top ends with a finale comprising successful pit maneuvers followed by "Show me your hands". Whoosh. 

the snowflakes threads are a good idea but they take up too much of the board and stay up to long pushing good post-game topics, evening games, etc off the board too quickly. 

suggestion: combine them into 2 instead of 4.  so keep, say, 'offense/coaching' as one, 'defense/special teams' as the other. 

all in favor, say 'aye', those opposed, same sign...

Luke McCaffrey playing for Rice. Switched from QB to WR. Has 5 catches against USC already. 

Jedd Fisch and Arizona spoiled Brady Hoke and San Diego State's home opener in a new stadium. Looks like the Aztecs' starting QB got knocked out with a shoulder injury and the backup quarterback looked like he didn't belong. Down 18 with 10 minutes left in the game and all SDSU did was run the ball. Arizona dominated...with the exception of this, umm, self-inflicted situation:

Utah / UF showing a lot of promise.

fucc ohio state

My 2 cents

Bama and UGA are basically the same program now and a step above the rest.

Don't care how many 5* players OSU has, if they're not elite on the D-line and don't play as fast as the $EC giants, they are not in that group. OSU needs to prove they aren't soft under Day.

UM looked good. Hard to judge given the competition, but if JJ is elite, we can take that next step, we have the horses to win the conference again.  To compete with Bama and UGA, JJ will need to be a Trevor Lawrence type difference maker.

AUH and UTSA in third overtime.  Tons of fun!

I hope Utah just dismantles Florida.

OP,

I don’t see an evening game thread so your ok in my book.  Just hoping for an exciting OSU ND game.

Notre Game goes full Harbawll red zone phone booth offense...smh

I know what I should be doing, but I’m sorry, I can’t not root against OhioStank

I thought this new Jim Knowles defense was the greatest ever?

What kind of world are we living in where I would prefer to see Notre Dame win? And to hell with them.

OSU still soft. Not buying this Knowles narrative. 

Will fold like a cheap lawn chair come winter.

Why do ND QBs always look like weak NPCs?

meanwhile wisconsin has 6 yards of offense through the first quarter.  that's it.  6.  no more.  against illinois state.  the only reason wisconsin is up 7-0 was a pick-six deep in wisconsin territory.  could be trouble brewing in madison. 

It seems blitz is the name of the game for OSU. We will see how they do as game progresses. 

Jeez I didn't even realize OSU whored out their new turf field to Safelite auto glass. First the Indians, then Paul Brown Stadium, now this. Tough year for tradition in the state of Ohio. We even lost the Baker Mayfield at home commercials.

Ryan Day inherited a Lamborghini and he’s slowly turning it into a Nissan Altima. 

Nice start for the Irish. 

After an off-season of OSU slurping by the media and they go three and out on the 1st drive.

OSU OL still dogshit I see

Watching ND/OSU I don't want either one to win. So conflicted. Hope they both suck

ND not taking advantage of their early opps against OSU actually makes me dislike them more...man, this is rough 

OSU still looking human under Day.  Hope it stays that way. 

One thing that’s absolutely true is OSU will not be as great under Day as they were under Meyer. Meyer may not be very likable, but he’s one of the all-time greats. When one of those guys leaves a school, the program inevitably declines. They’ll still be very good, but they won’t be what they were.

Garbage PI call againat ND...yay and nay

I get the feeling the team from Ohio is gonna jail sex the fightin Rudys.

I'd be shocked if ND keeps it closer than it is right now.

They still look soft.  Ryan Day has turned them into a September/October team.  Love that we see them in November.  

I hate Ohio State so much that it's making me like Notre Dame.
