Like a kid on Christmas... It's finally back. Homework can wait a night.

ESPN needs to show some of the highlights of Lou Holtz's tenure at South Carolina to the Gamecock fans. This should fill about 2-3 minutes perhaps if they really dig.
Seriously though, folks. Football is here. Let's make it a good season of both Michigan football as well as open threads, MACtion or otherwise.
EDIT: When I think Gamecocks, I think "Also Sprach Zarathustra" too...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!

To add to the CFB starting tonight, Hoke will be on PTI as well.

Ok the chances of this game being interesting took an early hit. Also the black in North Carolina's helmets blows.

I am disappointed in your finite capacity to worry.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
Well, that didn't take much time.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
That was a pretty throw! This might be a snoozer after the first quarter, BUT its football!!!
August 29th, 2013 at 6:06 PM ^
That long pass gave me flashbacks.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:07 PM ^
Too soon.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:08 PM ^
August 29th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
I didn't watch the pregame, but I'm guessing they played it a couple time already.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:09 PM ^
has glasses. Never seen that before.

Akron and Connecticut also play tonight. Obviously, I am not worried about playing those teams, but it is always nice to see how they perform, especially defensively. Offense could really rack up the yards if they are porous.

Also, I love UNCs unis!
August 29th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
who tweeted stacks of cash right? Treadwell, or something like that was the kid I believe. I want to see if Ole Miss gets any return on their investment.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:28 PM ^
August 29th, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
But they are still freshman. So it's not going to impact tonights game much for Ole Miss. Maybe the 2014 and 2015 openers.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:50 PM ^
has one really good WR named Donte Moncrief who may move up to 1st round of 2014 draft. He is a big WR at 6'3" and 220 lbs and runs about 4.4. Very explosive WR who will garner a ton of attention from defense. That leaves Treadwill who will start at Z WR position to make an impact if he lives up to the hype.

This is from earlier but I was just wondering if anyone caught the end of 5 good minutes with Brady Hoke on PTI today. At the end as they were cuttin gto commercial it sounded like Tony asked Jason Whitlock (who played at Ball St.) who would win a fight between himself, Jason and Coach Hoke. Whitlock said Brady would because he Jason, himself loves Brady too much to ever fight him. Just an interesting short story I thought.

I wonder when we see the first ejection from the new targeting rules.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:18 PM ^
August 29th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
to get Bolivia'd.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:40 PM ^
August 29th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
You had to have said something pretty forboden to get that treatment. Saying you think Ohio is a better team than Michigan "against the mods saying the opposite" wouldn't get you in trouble. Your honesty must have been stepping over the grey area and splash landing in the "Do Not Talk About" land.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:51 PM ^
August 29th, 2013 at 7:59 PM ^
I've seen the mods get uber conservative IMO, but it couldn't be that bad. Then again, I've seen people get super sensitive about anything thought as anti-Michigan.
August 29th, 2013 at 9:10 PM ^
he was Bolivia'd after being a dick in the Moore, Oklahoma thread. According to LSA he was set to come back this week ("waning hours before the season").
He has, however, been banned for the homophobic slur in the now-deleted reply to you.

Are you the one who posted the pic of the dead horse yesterday?
August 29th, 2013 at 6:32 PM ^
August 29th, 2013 at 6:22 PM ^
Hope they keep this game interesting.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:25 PM ^
I could be wrong, but North Carolina was almost helping Brandon Wilds out there - it was almost as if they were assisting in pushing the pile closer to their own end zone.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
Obviously this years designated 'hype for the Heisman' player is D.Clowney.On the plus side I like seeing a Def. player get some Heisman attention but it means even more replays of 'the hit" and I hate seeing ESPN having so much influence on the Heisman Trophy. (Apologies for already speaking of Heisman)
August 30th, 2013 at 9:31 AM ^
if Terrell Suggs couldn't win the Heisman as a DE in the early 2000's at Arizona State with something like 22 or 23 sacks, no DE should ever win.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:31 PM ^
His stats last year were identical to Clowney. Hopefully that comparison will get people to STFU about him.
