"Week 1" opening night game thread
More college football tonight! Some of it might actually be good! (Probably not - don't care).
Big Ten football starts tonight with Minnesota taking on FCS South Dakota State. Also UCLA vs Cincinnati as early night game and the BYU-Utah Holy War late.
Productivity tomorrow morning will be low.

Disagree. Fickell wants C-bus. Narduzzi will come back to E. lansing
August 29th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Agree on Fickle. Narduzzi idk if STAEE is an upgrade compared Pitt. And I’m being serious. If he loses his job, sparty will take him no doubt.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:07 PM ^
Fickell's done a heck of a job in Cincy.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:23 PM ^
Worst. Announcing team. Ever.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^
Maybe we are seeing why DTR could not beat out Tathan in High School?
August 29th, 2019 at 7:47 PM ^
To his defense it's hard to supplant someone who was 45-0 against the nation's best teams; won two national championships; and won the Gatorade Player of the Year award.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:22 PM ^
Your logic and reason is harshing my snark.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:37 PM ^
Cincinnati is going to steamroll UCLA
August 29th, 2019 at 7:38 PM ^
There’s still three quarters to go, but UCLA is not looking so hot. I definitely expected to see a significant step forward from Kelly’s team this season. Of course a lot can change and the whole season is in front of them, but they look like they’ve still got A LOT of work to do.
Cincy’s offense on the other hand is looking pretty sharp...when they aren’t committing false start penalties that is lol
August 29th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
Cincinnati has a nice offense.. I wish ours could resemble theirs
August 29th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
You... you haven't even seen our offense.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:42 PM ^
You heard it here first: Cinci beats OSU.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:12 PM ^
Actually, if you read their boards, there are a few OSU fans somewhat nervous about Cincy.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:10 PM ^
Nope... Lukey Luke needs to keep OSU happy. Zero chance he wins that game
August 30th, 2019 at 5:40 AM ^
No. Remember 41-14? OSU fans welcomed Urban Meyer with open arms even though he utterly embarrassed them on the biggest stage not long before.
August 30th, 2019 at 7:00 AM ^
From your lips to God's ear!
August 29th, 2019 at 7:52 PM ^
Why Kelly took the UCLA job is beyond me. If he would've waited a few weeks, several programs had openings.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
UCLAs defense is leaving guys wide open
August 29th, 2019 at 7:55 PM ^
They look like they’re in man and they look very confused.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Typical Kelly team - all offense and no defense.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:57 PM ^
commentator is impressed by the girth of that kicker
August 29th, 2019 at 8:03 PM ^
Pat McAfee is all about the brand.
August 29th, 2019 at 7:58 PM ^
What thee hell story did I just hear coming out of commerical break?!! Good God Pat Mcafee's voice is horrible for a color/pbp guy
You guys are crazy, Cincy ain't winning this thing. UCLA with the pulse back
August 29th, 2019 at 8:02 PM ^
Felton finally shows up!
August 29th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
3 and out for Clemson. They are overrated! (Am I doing this right?)
August 29th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Of all things, a defensive play by the Bruins may change this half around. Lets see how the Cincy Corners handle the deep balls.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
Left guard looked like a turnstile on 3rd down. Was beaten badly.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:16 PM ^
The aussie accent shtick during these punts is insanely cringey.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
True freshman is starting LT for cincy. No wonder Fickell cried like a bitch and lied his ass off to the media about Hudson. Desperate prick!
August 29th, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
Burning thought Jim did him wrong but forcing him to change positions... sigh
August 29th, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
Ball is coming out of Etienne's arm...that's a fumble
August 29th, 2019 at 8:34 PM ^
Let's go Georgia Tech!
August 29th, 2019 at 8:34 PM ^
UCLA doesn't look that good.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:34 PM ^
You can't throw an out pattern behind the receiver. This is QB 101.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
UCLA kind of sucks.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
Wow. How lucky is UCLA to be only down 3?
August 29th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
Clemson has a cake walk through the acc
August 29th, 2019 at 8:38 PM ^
Clemson has a cake walk through the acc
August 29th, 2019 at 8:39 PM ^
The Bruins OL is being owned by the Cincy D. Tight end whiffed for the sack. No time to even set up. Can't see UCLA climbing out of this in the second half.
August 29th, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
I was upset that I don’t get the ACC network for exactly 46 minutes. Now I can go back to not giving a shit.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^
DTR would make a good wide receiver
August 29th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^
Anyone else watching UCLA quit on Chip?
They look really not interested in playing football.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:00 PM ^
DTR is bad
August 29th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
Has anybody seen Devin Asiasi? I wonder if he regrets transferring. Also, DT Robinson is not impressive. I have absolutely no regrets he didn’t choose us. As a matter of fact, I’m glad he didn’t...
August 29th, 2019 at 9:40 PM ^
I think Asiasi was in at the fullback spot for one play at least. It would’ve been nice to hold onto him. DTR isn’t looking all that great and I’m not really sweating that loss. Boss Tagaloa is a guard now. Maybe he’s not very good at DT? If so, that wasn’t a very big loss for us either.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
This guy on the Cincinnati UCLA call is horrendously obnoxious
August 29th, 2019 at 9:24 PM ^
Pat Macafee? (I don’t think I spelled his last name correctly)
August 29th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
Cinci looking good, when not shooting themselves in the foot.
August 29th, 2019 at 9:09 PM ^
Football! TD Fightin' Fickell's!
