That's a seriously intense sun angle they are playing in. What a weird time for a game.

Probably in the minority here but I love these big time conference openers. Or maybe because it's actually a very good matchup and not another Va. tech v's Louisiana Methodist Tech State snoozer.

The series is nice but I think over the last seven or eight years we've definitely proved that the game doesn't mean much in the grand scheme if the season. We've beaten them plenty these last 10 years or so but the program hasn't exactly been a powerhouse.

Yes though playing ND is better than playing Baby Seal U even if it is not the greatest indicator of how our season will progress.

Edit: nicely said Wichita.

I was so bitter about not being able to watch this game until I did a program search, found SEC Network and realized that I have the channel. 

Still don't have Pac-12 Network or the Fox College Sports networks, though. I wish I could choose what I want on my cable package.

Well, not really a storm anymore - actually, it was a really nice day.

When I get home, I plan to switch to something else, but for the time being, we're half-listening to the Minnesota / E. Illinois game as we wait for people to call in their findings in the field. It's not a bad slate for an opening Thursday really, and as I am off tomorrow, I have plenty of entertainment late into the night.
