OT: First Day of College Football Open Thread
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
I'm watching this Miami and Florida A&M game. Jacory Harris looks scary good: 13-16, 3tds. Miami's receiving core is filthy. They really could beat TUOS next weekend.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:37 PM ^
Tyler Moeller fulfills the proud OSU tradition of "Guy who did nothing for four years and then morphs into a manbearfreak as a 5th-year senior."
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
Please let the reason for the breakout be, "Marshall."
September 3rd, 2010 at 12:28 AM ^
... and big things were expected from him that year... but he ended up out for the year with a fractured skull and brain trauma from an assault.
It's kind of astonishing that he's even back on the field.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:41 PM ^
apparently Marshall has a guy who caught Jackrabbits with Odoms in Pahokee. How did we miss recruting this potential slot ninja!?!?
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:43 PM ^
In more somber news, the Microsoft SCCM thread has died a sad, bitter death.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
LOL that's funny!! haha!
I love all you guys.
Also I'm glad it's football season again.
Also I'm drunkk.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:44 PM ^
Minnesota had two guys in prime position to pin a punt on the one-yard line, and they both whiffed.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:45 PM ^
this pitt- utah game is pretty good. Eventually the Pitt coach is going to realize that Jonathan Baldwin exists and they should get the ball to him.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:46 PM ^
Utah throws an interception in the end-zone, game has been full of turnovers so far. Still 7-14
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:47 PM ^
Anyone else a masochist and watching the Minn/MTSU game? If Minn's coach would let his QB call audibles they'd probably have 6 TD's by now but they keep running into 8 and 9 man fronts. Reminds me a bit of pre-RR Michigan.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:50 PM ^
Looks like jmblue also likes to suffer.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
In its ugly way, this game is strangely compelling.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
If Minny really wears them out (or keeps passing it) they'll get the W, but MTSU is in it to win it.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
Is this a critical season for Brewster? It's his fourth year and they clearly are not at their old Glen Mason level. Mason would go 3-5 in the league every year, but he'd clean up on teams like this.
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
Did anyone just catch the opening of Versus half time show?
Seems like the telepromter was moving a little to slow, as the host stared at the camera and left a 2 second pause between each word.
"Welcome to.....the versus......halftime......report......we are......enjoying....."
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
That was really bizarre.
Good thing they didn't insert any question marks.
I'm Ron Burgundy?
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:53 PM ^
Just a second. How the shit is a Big 10 team--I'm counting Minnesota here--playing an away game against Middle Tennessee State? Don't they have a new stadium?
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:55 PM ^
I was wondering the same thing, kind of strange to open on the road against such a team.
On a side note, when was the last time we opened on the road? I can remember some early 90s ND games, but not much else.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:01 PM ^
I think '98 ND was the last time. We had an awful record in openers in South Bend and we've learned our lesson.
Another weird one: Wisconsin seems to play UNLV every year. Why?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:05 PM ^
ugh, I'd blanked that horror show from my memory
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:39 PM ^
Bielema has a mistress in LV?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
Apparantly they have some uber-rich alumn who lives out there and has been trying to turn UNLV into a real football team/is wasting gobs of money to get to watch the occasional home game without using his private jet.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:03 PM ^
the Minnesota state fair is going on this weekend, and they need the stadium parking for that, so they couldnt host a football game.
seriously, that's what the announcers said earlier
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
We need to get that soundbite in case we ever need recruiting ammunition against Minnesota. Talk about small-time. Your program gets kicked out of its stadium for the state fair?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:12 PM ^
It's not like they play in a stadium that opened 1 year ago, specifically built so they didn't have to deal with splitting time with other teams/events...
September 2nd, 2010 at 9:57 PM ^
I think my favorite game tonight is Indiana...granted they're playing Townson but I really didn't think Indiana could put up 48 on anyone, much less half way through the third. One year to go sparty, and the hoosiers are learning how to play...
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
my boss (Hoosier alum) swears that they are going to beat UM this year. Mark Munch Bishop is also on record that IU will beat UM.
But I'm not going to take much from a beat down of Townson.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
Look out, Minnesota is driving! I wish they were on Michigan's schedule.
Edit: Minn 24 - MTSU 17
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
Starting to take over. It looks like MTS is wearing down.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
or is this Versus channel in a weird form of HD where it seems like everything is at 1.25 speed?
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:35 PM ^
It's BigEast speed...we're not used to it being BigTen fans (yea it looks strange now that you mention it)*
(huge block by Pitt!)
*No predictive value in relation to intoxication
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:44 PM ^
Something's definitely off. When the referee signalled a false start, his hands were almost a blur.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:34 PM ^
Utah's special teams have been pretty abysmal here, a muffed punt set up the first Pitt touchdown, now they get a punt blocked and Pitt gets the ball inside their 10.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:37 PM ^
credit to Utah student section. bringing it strong.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:51 PM ^
As much as I hate to say it, no alcohol makes chicks hotter. I had an LDS friend for a couple years. His eventual wife's friends were just ridiculous.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:22 PM ^
I had an LSD friend for a couple years. His eventual wife's friends were just ridiculous.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:52 AM ^
Alchohol make chicks much hotter.
If I drink enough, they're all hot.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
Minnesota escapes. Go Hawaii!
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:41 PM ^
their age old tradition of having a crappy team but a couple of suprisingly awesome RB's that save the day with ground churning, pile splitting runs.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:57 PM ^
This South Carolina/Southen Miss game just needs to end. It's been over for a long time and I want to get to the USC game.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 PM ^
LOL shit jwoww just went medieval on sammi!!
EDIT: sry yall wrong message board...
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
Kiffin said that he made those Tenneessee violations on purpose to call attention to the program??? What a tool. I hope someone spikes him on purpose this year.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:09 PM ^
I thought RR was waiting til the game to announce the starter but Rece Davis just said Denard will start. Am I missing something or is this just more of ESPN being ESPN.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:12 PM ^
Christ, the USC band came along. Maybe I'll just mute the game. Or drink a lot more.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:15 PM ^
drinking more already...
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
"The men of Troy are back"
Uhhh...one play against Hawaii does not mean they are back.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
And they miss the extra point trying to be Kiffy-cute. Definitely back.
September 2nd, 2010 at 11:20 PM ^
USC. One possesion. One touchdown. Hawaii can't tackle worth a crap.
