Night Games Open Thread

Pretty good day for us, with NU taking out Sparty, Minnesota taking out Iowa, and our win.  Not exactly a great night of matchups, but college football is always better than not college football.  Some fun ones to watch:

Georgia 24 - Florida 20 (5 to go, Florida has ball on G 35)

Ole Miss at Auburn - 7 - ESPNU

South Carolina at Tennessee - 7:15 - ESPN2

Wisconsin at Ohio State - 8 ESPN

Stanford at USC - 8 - ABC/ESPN3

Clemson at GT - 8 - ESPN3/ABC

As usual, the full listings can be found here

Discuss and enjoy a solid day for us.

In Richt's position (hot seat cliche goes here), with the bias being to do the conservative thing, kick a FG and trust your defense?  It's fairly gutsy.  If something goes wrong and Florida scores and you lose, considering the last 20 years of Cocktail Parties... oof.

Btn pointed out while giggling that if Ohio wins tonight PSU willl have a two game lead and near hammerlock on the division. They'd still have to brat wispy or win the other two versus Ohio and Nebraska. Still very strange. As for the westish division I fear I don't have a lot of confidence in the rest of sparty's opponents. Funny by nebraska losing out of division, it screws Michigan. A three way tie at 7-1 would probably go our way. (Obviously conditional on everything going right in this scenario.)

Compared to most pro-combat unis, they're positively amazing. 

That said, they suck awful. Wisconsin is still wearing their normal unis--making them completely not interesting. Why would anyone ever want to be a fan of a team that doesn't ever wear alternate uniforms? Wisconsin fans are obviously suckers.

Edit: Up close those things are terrible. What's the glitter on the chest for? Is OSU going to see Hanson afterwards?

It's all John Navarre's fault.
