And here we go
September 4th, 2021 at 9:04 AM ^
Welcome back college football + humans!
September 4th, 2021 at 9:07 AM ^
College football without fans should never be played again! Saturdays are fun again!
September 4th, 2021 at 9:53 AM ^
There are lines of discussion that support this thought...I know many fans think this. However, the actual playing of the games have very little to do with the fans. In my many years of playing and coaching I never had a single competitive thought that included a consideration of what the fans thought-and that is not an exaggeration. I wish this was acknowledged and better understood.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:18 AM ^
Sorry, but fans are essential. Without them there is no economy of the sport to provide the resources to the players and coaches. If you want to see sports without fans, go check out small high schools, or minor league baseball. The equipment is old and shared, the coaching sucks, and the atmosphere is bad.
You may take it for granted, but there is a reason players pay at least lip service to appreciating the fan support that makes it all possible. When they don't, like the Javy Baez/Mets situation, the leaders come down hard because you can't bite the hand that feeds you.

Username checks out
September 4th, 2021 at 11:14 AM ^
So you coached without taking officiating into account?
Bold strategy, Cotton.
September 4th, 2021 at 11:21 AM ^
I admire the self-restraint of people who just negged this and moved on! :)
September 4th, 2021 at 9:09 AM ^
Some zingers on the signs so far
"UGA uses a litterbox"
"Georgia students study for their covid tests"
"If Kirby Smart was Mr Rogers neighbor he'd move"
September 4th, 2021 at 9:10 AM ^
Man, I was puking watching State play last night. Pains me…but they looked good. That RB they got was impressive.
Georgia and Clemson is gonna be fun to watch! Still think Clemson pulls off the “W”.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:51 AM ^
They looked solid, but I think Northwestern might be preposterously bad. They lost most of last year's team to graduation and their starting RB to injury. Also, their longtime (outstanding) DC retired. Northwestern never reloads.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:11 AM ^
I was thinking the same thing watching that game. Couldn't figure out if State was actually good or Northwestern was just that bad. Believe it's the latter, but time will tell.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:57 AM ^
I saw bits and pieces of the first half but from what I saw and have read this morning they are much improved from last year. Exactly how much is TBD. Poor damn NW though. They either are really good or they just plain suck ass.
Personally, I would prefer not pay any attention to those assholes until we play them. I know too many sparty fans and am happier when I don’t know what’s going on with their team.
September 4th, 2021 at 11:29 AM ^
I'll wait until the Miami game before casting judgment. This was a game most expected them to win, based on what NW was returning.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:11 AM ^
Is it time again to ask if Corso should retire with dignity?
September 4th, 2021 at 9:32 AM ^
Retire? Corso’s going to be the next President of the United States!
September 4th, 2021 at 9:36 AM ^
He’s almost old enough
September 4th, 2021 at 11:15 AM ^
Comment of the year
September 4th, 2021 at 11:26 AM ^
Didn't he miss that opportunity long ago?
September 4th, 2021 at 11:28 AM ^
Don’t @ me bro
September 4th, 2021 at 9:13 AM ^
Definitely flying under the radar but first Michigan mention
September 4th, 2021 at 9:18 AM ^
And just like that I'm sucked right back into college football.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:37 AM ^
Impressive discipline
September 4th, 2021 at 10:04 AM ^
Damn it's Hatter! What have you been up to the last 8 months?
September 4th, 2021 at 10:32 AM ^
Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long.
I sort of checked out of the electronic world for a while. No news, or sports, and I was much happier for it.
Still working from home (never going back to the office), took a couple of vacations, tended the garden, and gained 10 pounds. Life has been good.
Now I'm ready to have the next dozen Saturdays bring me joy and pain.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:55 AM ^
I figured you stumbled upon some magic mushrooms in your garden and have been lying naked in the tomato plants on an epic 8 month psychedelic trip.
September 4th, 2021 at 11:09 AM ^
This is a solid plan for next spring.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
Haha, nine months of my off-season strident anger and defiance that I would stay away has now, somehow this morning, turned into excitement that CFB is back.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:19 AM ^
Out in Vegas with a ton of cheap dumb bets to watch all day along with Michigan football! Been wide awake since 5 AM and amped up!
September 4th, 2021 at 12:13 PM ^
Make sure you stay up to watch Jedd Fisch and Don Brown (Arizona) play BYU tonight (in Vegas).
September 4th, 2021 at 9:20 AM ^
Lane Kiffin has Covid. Ole Miss plays tomorrow. I would think that means others on team will be out as well?
Edit: Ole Miss plays Monday.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:24 AM ^
Michigan fan seemingly all alone there lol
September 4th, 2021 at 9:39 AM ^
Don’t be impressed with the idiot and the Mayo.
he’s got lice
September 4th, 2021 at 9:44 AM ^
Please have an organized gameplan Gattis. I don't want to see 30 runs up the middle.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:48 AM ^
Sorry yoyo. I really didn't want to, but felt that i had to neg you. I don't want to see 30 of the same play, but damnit if that wasn't how I used to play Madden with Barry Sanders growing up. Sweep right. Sweep left. Sweep right. If it works.....
September 4th, 2021 at 9:52 AM ^
Pretty sure you mean Tecmo Bowl :)
September 4th, 2021 at 10:36 AM ^
You are probably right. I can't remember what game it was and I don't really game anymore. I'm sure some/many on this blog can still picture the interface and playbook today.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:54 AM ^
I remember a play that they traced his path and estimated he ran like 28 yards on a 5 yard gain lol.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:51 AM ^
Even if at say... 5 ypc? ;-)
September 4th, 2021 at 10:24 AM ^
You going to say this in every thread?
September 4th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
Lol yes. I guess I said it yesterday. I've been ruminating.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:50 AM ^
Is this real life?
September 4th, 2021 at 9:57 AM ^
Nope. It's better.
September 4th, 2021 at 9:59 AM ^
Mack Brown started off talking about how they just got beat but then made an excuse of saying most teams are playing a scrimmage this weekend and they came out and played a tough opponent. Some coaches just can’t accept losing without at least one excuse.
September 4th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
As the coach I assume that is his responsibility, too.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:19 AM ^
I’m pumped. That is all.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:22 AM ^
Unpopular opinion: Gameday needs to go back to 2 hours. Just too much padding to stretch this show out.
September 4th, 2021 at 10:29 AM ^
I don't think that opinion is at all unpopular.
