College GameDay Open Thread

Anyone else really interested in this Maryland-Ohio State game at noon?
October 4th, 2014 at 10:34 AM ^
I'm saying there's a chance.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:59 AM ^

To be fair, skipping this game does nothing to Brandon, and only impacts the team. Support the team and go. You might be pleasantly suprised with a win.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:35 AM ^
Not me. Gonna watch the SEC game at noon, or the Manchester City match. Urban Meyer already has Barrett throwing for 350 yards and actually looking like a true dual threat.. Unreal what elite coaching can do... I wonder what that's like....
Maryland is well coached, but Ohio will run them off the field with their speed and skill.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:48 AM ^
I'm probably going to mute this game if the bells are loud. I'm not a huge fan of em, no sir.

Does anyone really "like" to watch Michigan football right now? Is it pleasurable to watch what goes on? Has nothing to do with loving the team or the university, but just the simple act of watching how they perform against equal opposition hasn't been terribly enjoyable for awhile now.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:02 AM ^
I LOVE that I have an excuse not to watch the game today, so I don't have to feel guilty for just not watching on purpose.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:37 AM ^
October 4th, 2014 at 11:42 AM ^
You do realize there is a difference in the meanings of the words "want" and "like", correct?
To remove this from the context of football, we'll try a few examples for you.
I want to go to the dentist to get this cracked molar fixed, but I'm not going to like it.
I like to eat chocolate chip cookies, but I don't want to because I'm getting in shape.
I want to buy a new car, but I don't like having a car payment.
Hopefully this cleared up any comprehension issues you might have been having.

I'll always watch Michigan, if I can! I support the players. The coaches may be boneheads, except Mattison, but no reason not to support the team.
October 4th, 2014 at 1:05 PM ^
No offense is fun to watch when it is ineffective- but bad manball is probably at the bottom. Just run forwards at a slow speed and fall.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:49 AM ^

They spent 15 minutes discussing Michigan's woes.
This has become a weekly segment.

Corso just called Gus Malzahn, Gus Malzone!!!.....
CC: Gus Malzahn?
October 4th, 2014 at 10:44 AM ^
Love Corso, but how many more years can this guy do this? I wonder who replaces him now that he is essentially a legend of his own making. Remember when Corso said "fuck" on air? That was epic!
October 4th, 2014 at 11:45 AM ^
Corso must go on forever! Who would have thought that the guy coaching Indiana for the legendary Anthony Carter catch would become one of the most fun reasons to watch a college pre-game show? Lee Corso is basically what you get if Luther Van Damme from "Coach" became a college footbal commentator. So much entertainment!
October 4th, 2014 at 12:17 PM ^
Made a great comeback from his stroke. I was not sure he was going to make it on air. Has improved quite a bit.

October 4th, 2014 at 10:41 AM ^
I'm sure the people are absolutely insufferable, but The Grove looks like a party I would like to attend.
Also, Corso looks fly in that seersucker. Even if it's after Labor Day.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:47 AM ^
Labor Day/White rule is BS. Gotta give a few more weeks until it really starts to cool down, especially in the South where it obviously doesn't cool down. (I was wearing my white suede bucks just a week and a half ago!)
The guys do look pretty good, I have to say, especially Corso, like you state.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:56 AM ^
You will conform
October 4th, 2014 at 11:10 AM ^
Don't make me wear my white jeans today...

Man I want to be down in Oxford*. Looks like a grand ole time. Let's just say my sartorial skills would fit me right in!
Nope, I'm going to a tailgate in 40 degree, partly sunny weather for a D3 school's team here in a bit.
*I very much dislike the Ole Miss foootball program, however.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:03 AM ^
Love Michigan Football. However, the South has better tailgates and Football.
October 4th, 2014 at 10:53 AM ^
Pretty mature response on his "favorite play", regarding Ameer Abdullah. Not a TD but an A gap linebacker blitz pickup where he stalled said linebacker on pass-protection.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:04 AM ^
Now, I can sit down and watch. Changed my wife's oil this morning...
I think we need the "Dressed Up To Get Messed Up" sign one more time, because I think the dude holding seemed like he had begun this journey to latter half of the statement. No matter, looks like one hell of a party in Oxford today.
Also, that Wright Thompson segment was actually pretty cool, I think.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:09 AM ^
Wright Thompson seems a cool dude and his film work is damn good. Sounds like he took the Gameday crew out Thursday night too (Fowler blaming him for how he "felt" Friday AM)!
October 4th, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
The wife's oil eh?
HAHA
HEHE
Anyone else see the jab at UM on ND's schedule not even being mentioned as Power 5?
October 4th, 2014 at 1:16 PM ^
So that's what you call "it" in your house, huh? Never heard that euphemism before.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:05 AM ^
Mississippi is a black hole. Nothing escapes
October 4th, 2014 at 11:13 AM ^
Also why the fudge is Katy Perry the guest picker? Wait until they're back in SoCal not the goddamn South.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:19 AM ^
October 4th, 2014 at 11:28 AM ^
Interesting. I'm curious her ties, I shall go look them up, and see if I approve!
October 4th, 2014 at 11:15 AM ^
...during Moeller's time as head coach. Did anyone here go to that game and meet some of their fans during the tailgate?
October 4th, 2014 at 11:21 AM ^
Best weekend for college football so far. Very excited to see which teams separate themselves.

High interest games today
- OSU v Maryland - Maryland's QB got hurt last week so will be interesting to see if he comes back. If so this could be a quite good game as Maryland can score.
- Texas A&M v Miss St Mullens - If Mullen wants that Florida job this is a statement game. A&M almost lost to Big Bert last week and plays its traditional defense (i.e. none)
- Bama v Ole Miss - Ole Miss is #11 and has recruited on par with the LSU, Texas, OSUs lately. Let's see if Hugh Freeze can pull an upset
- Baylor v Texas - Incredible offense versus quite good defense. Unfortunately Texas has no offense but on 1 side of the ball it should be an interesting battle.
- NC State v Clemson: After nearly pulling an upset v FSU, NC State's coach could become one of the hottest candidates in the country with an upset or even close road loss (assuming NC State does very well the rest of the year)
- Oklahoma v TCU - TCU smashed Big 10 West powerhouse Minnesota so must be great. But this is one of those tricky road games for a top 5 team
- Stanford v Notre Dame - Notre Dame has played no one thus far, just a bunch of patsies, so we'll see how
- Wisconsin v Northwestern - a week ago this looked like a bludgeoning of Northwestern but should be more interesting now these 2 match up
- LSU v Auburn - LSU is coming off a rare home loss and a very young offense, going into an Auburn team no one is quite sure of
- Brady Hoke v Rutgers - A 4-1 Rutgers goes for the win v a hapless squad as they make a push for the Big 10 East championship
- Nebraska v MSU - two teams with some questions, one could not even beat Oregon (anyone can do that!) and the other almost lost to McNeese State.
Great slate!

I'm sure gameday is fun in the Grove, but it's like those people are from a completely different world, one filled with a complete lack of self-awareness and the douche meter turned WAY up.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:33 AM ^
People living and going about their business and lacking self-awareness (the opposite, people ONLY aware of themselves, is also negative for society) is not just a thing those people are doing...it's like this everywhere and likely even in da Bronx. Douche bags also exist everywhere.
October 4th, 2014 at 11:25 AM ^
I missed much of GameDay doing errands. When did ESPN do 10 minutes on the Ole Miss cheating allegations? I'd like to go back and watch it on replay. Thanks in advance.
