Penn State just held off Syracuse 23-17.  Iowa doing their best to give away the Northern Illinois game right now.

Alabama needs to get the O Line fixed. They have a week off before A&M.

Auburn is benefiting from some favorible non-calls on pass interference.

Georgia and Clemson is looking like the game of the week.

Not a bad opening weekend all in all.

The Wyoming coach is an absolute dumbass. Why would you let the clock run out when you were at the 50 and had been running all over Nebraska in the first half (300 YARDS)?!  They could've gotten 4 plays off and the idiots took a knee. Now Nebraska has the game in control.

What is going on? 

FCS McNeese State humiliates USF 53-21 in Tampa.....

Are we to the point that we need to integrate FBS and FCS like Division 1 basketball? These upsets are happening as if not more frequently.

Something I'm wondering about: do you think the playoff system is helping top-end FCS schools in recruiting? If I were a recruit at a level where my choices were a solid FCS school with a chance at a playoff run and a lower-echelon Sun Belt or MAC team where the best I could possibly hope for, even if everything came together and we ran off a near-perfect season, is a crappy bowl game...I'd be leaning toward the former.

Forced to choose between NDSU or Akron, where do you go?

Over at the Clemson-Georgia game, we're coming up on the 700-yard mark for total offense between these teams. Neither team has been terribly successful on third down, yet both are 100% on fourth down conversions. Defensive showcase indeed. 

Clemson stalls out in Georgia territory and goes for the FG, which is good. They take a very likely temporary 31-28 lead with about half of the third quarter in the books now. Of note, all four of UGA's TDs are rushing TDs. Aaron Murray has no scores to show for 201 yards of passing.

Northern fumbles at the State 1, State recovers. They have life but they need to go 99 yards in a minute.

Never mind. State fails on 4th at their own 23, game over.

That makes 5 FCS-over-FBS wins now I think

  • Towson over UConn
  • NDSU over KState
  • E Washington over Oregon State
  • McNeese St over USF
  • Northern Iowa over Iowa State

Herbie discussing faking injuries as a way to slow down uptempo offenses. "I'm not saying that's happening here..."

He and Musberger are actually not annoying me tonight.

Funny that someone with the handle "MGoClimb" would respond. Ever been to Vedauwoo out here? It's about 20 minutes East of Laramie here and an incredible place to climb. The area has great climbing, hiking, and mountain biking. 

That said, I love Michigan, but Wyoming is a relatively close second. I love the country out this way, and it's university (Wyoming only has one university).
