College Football Open Thread
ND vs Navy starts it off 2:30 PM!!! Playing in Dublin at Aviva Stadium. USC vsSan José State @ 8pm would be the only other ranked team playing in week 0. Last game of the night 9pm LTU vs FIU.
ND and USC roll to start their season. About 10 hours worth of football today, nothing too exciting, but I’ll be watching and hoping for a few nail biters!
college football is back!!

Not the best slate but could be worse. Go navy and San Jose. ND losing and then knocking off OSU in a few weeks would be the greatest thing ever.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:04 AM ^
Respectfully, I disagree. No, this schedule could not be worse.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:36 AM ^
What is worse is 8 months of no football.
It’s back. Enjoy the ride.
August 26th, 2023 at 10:19 AM ^
You must be really fun to hang out with
August 26th, 2023 at 11:46 AM ^
Perhaps I should clarify my comment.
I look forward to about 164 hours from now - when I pull into the tailgate area at 6:05 am for Michigan’s home opener. I am looking forward to this season with great anticipation. The character of this year’s Wolverines Squad seems very, very high.
What I respectfully disagree with - is the OOC games scheduled this season. The quality of the OOC games is poor. There maybe a total of four OOC games this season which are of interest to me. FSU v LSU, Texas @ Bama, OSU @ ND - after that… hmmm.
FWIW - I hope Navy wins today.
Bring on the season. Go Blue!
August 26th, 2023 at 11:51 AM ^
TL;DR
I'm sorry that happened or very excited for you
August 26th, 2023 at 12:39 PM ^
Why do you come with shitty comments towards people?
August 26th, 2023 at 2:51 PM ^
Pretty sure he's joking around. That quote is floating around the internet.
August 26th, 2023 at 3:35 PM ^
Why not?
August 26th, 2023 at 1:21 PM ^
The CFP format has made this the smart scheduling strategy for contending teams. The complaints here are legitimate but IMO they are misdirected.
August 26th, 2023 at 2:10 PM ^
Not necessarily. Scheduling one good OOC game helps with playoff consideration in the 4 team format. UM would likely have been left out last year at 11-1 with a loss to OSU. The same will most likely be true this year.
August 26th, 2023 at 2:59 PM ^
Nah. If we’re 11-1 with a loss to either Penn state or OSU we’ll be fine. Now if that loss is to an ecu or Rutgers than we’re fucked. Might as well just win ‘em all!
August 26th, 2023 at 8:36 AM ^
If you don't have Dish Network and have figured out how to stream Pac 12 Network please post your tips here. I know they don't offer a la carte streaming and I like my YTTV so have no plans to switch providers. Any brilliant ideas in MGoBlogland?
August 26th, 2023 at 9:22 AM ^
Ha! Back in the day when I lived in Ann Arbor (70's to mid-80's) I heard stories about friends and family who had a guy who jiggered them free all-inclusive cable. I never looked into it and wouldn't consider it at this point in my life but...intrigued nonetheless. If for no other reason than curiosity.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:38 AM ^
Sounds like he got rich, and all he needed was a healthy supply of paper clips.
August 26th, 2023 at 12:20 PM ^
You dont want to get involved. Ruined basketball games, porno password with your mom, and shitty food at a jousting tournament. No thanks.
August 26th, 2023 at 4:26 PM ^
A free streaming service named tubi, is supposed to include the PAC-12. I do not have experience with this. Just researched the topic. Let us know if it works!
August 26th, 2023 at 4:33 PM ^
Update. Visited the tubi site. Searched pac-12 then clicked on PAC-12 INSIDER. Currently showing gymnastics. Good luck!
August 26th, 2023 at 8:04 PM ^
As best I can tell Tubi doesn’t carry the Pac 12 network. It carries Pac 12 Insider and Pac 12 Classics but not the mother channel. Darn!
August 26th, 2023 at 5:40 PM ^
Tubi is like the internet’s answer to UHF television. Good to know it’s showing something other than B horror films and reruns of the Rockford Files.
August 26th, 2023 at 6:41 PM ^
Currently on tubi…Louisville (0) vs Utah (14).
August 26th, 2023 at 8:37 AM ^
Should have mentioned, if you want to see a lot of clapping, Brady Hoke will be coaching SDSU vs The Ohio Bobcats at 7pm!!! spread SDSU -2.5
August 26th, 2023 at 9:55 AM ^
Clapping jokes aside, you have to admire how much weight the man has lost. Looks like a whole new guy, and I commend him for putting in the effort to better his health.
Losing weight, and keeping it off, is one of the hardest things in the world to do.
August 26th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
Absolutely, also for all the things we can say about him as a coach, he's a pretty nice guy and easy to root for.
August 26th, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
My gosh, the man looks skinny, doesn't even look like Brady Hoke. Good for him and I will always pull for him.
August 26th, 2023 at 8:49 AM ^
I am upvoting this just because it can once again exist (though it is a solid post as well, and not OT).
August 26th, 2023 at 9:14 AM ^
Hate that the USC game is on PAC 12 Network. At least after this year that won't be a problem anymore.
August 26th, 2023 at 11:13 AM ^
Yeah I'm wondering what % of a country of football starved fans is going to be able to watch the supposed Heisman leader today. Guessing it's less than 10.
Have damn near 100 sports channels but DirecTV never deemed the P12 Network worthy I guess.
August 26th, 2023 at 10:17 PM ^
This just in, USC's defense is still terrible. Just saw a single play in which they left the RB wide open on a wheel route AND committed defensive holding on the same play. They got pressure on the QB almost immediately so he didn't see the open wheel route but the penalty bailed out the offense.
Also the fact that SJSU is moving the ball and keeping things interesting obviously says a lot.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:18 AM ^
Love College Football !
But ..
the LLWS with the team out of Texas wins the TV schedule today.
August 26th, 2023 at 10:18 AM ^
I’m rooting for Taiwan and El Segundo today. Wifey is from Taiwan and I work in the ‘Gundo.
August 26th, 2023 at 6:31 PM ^
Could you look around there for my wallet? I can’t find it.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:23 AM ^
Still without power but Anchors aweigh!
August 26th, 2023 at 11:59 AM ^
Username fits. Hope it comes back soon.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
Go Navy!!!
Kick the living shit out of those Domer fuckheads in front of a real Irish crowd.
THAT would be an awesome start to season!
August 26th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
The 'real' Irish don't really care about college football...this game is set up solely to encourage ND hardcore fan Jimmy O'Brien from Chicago to vacation in Ireland. That crowd will be 80%+ American.
August 26th, 2023 at 11:28 AM ^
Go Navy 🏈🏈🏈
To Hell with Notre Dame!!!
August 26th, 2023 at 4:43 PM ^
These notre dame games with notre dame are stupid IMHO. While they may get national exposure to Navy, the W-L record is worse than the record of us and Northwestern - 79-13-1 notre dame advantage and 59-15-2 Michigan advantage.
FUCK notre dame and their narcistic, my shit don't stick fanbase!!!
August 26th, 2023 at 5:17 PM ^
I wish they would stop reffering to this game as a "rivalry".
Navy has won 4x in 60! years. And went 4+ decades without a W in that span.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:31 AM ^
I usually say Go Army, beat Navy but just for today, Go Navy!!
August 26th, 2023 at 9:35 AM ^
Are you from Ireland? Cuz when I see you my penis doubles in size.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:54 AM ^
This seems botched by the poster. Maybe it's "...my penis Dublin size?"
August 26th, 2023 at 9:51 AM ^
Hahaha. People neg this clearly haven’t seen the movie
August 26th, 2023 at 11:25 AM ^
The better guess is they have seen it and they know the OP missed the delivery.
August 26th, 2023 at 11:47 AM ^
August 26th, 2023 at 12:14 PM ^
Exactly Sag my post stands
August 26th, 2023 at 9:52 AM ^
Hilarious movie. Favorite part is the big mouth bass scene.
August 26th, 2023 at 9:57 AM ^
I wouldn’t say it was hilarious, but it definitely had its moments.
Watching Sudeikis “take out the trash” in his car was probably the best scene in the whole movie, and that was pretty funny.
