Early Games Open Thread

But lolphers still down 14-10

for the 12 pm slot so far. I've got USF-UF on Ch. 899 on. Impressed with USF. Also, wtf Minnesota??

So after the Thursday game I was wondering..........Is tOSU that good or WVU that bad??

I've been watching the UConn game and at 31-0 it is getting pretty ugly.  Granted it is Texas Southern but UConn may end up being a pretty good team, which only makes us look better.

I dont understand how USF is not the class of the big east....the talent they should get in there should be good enough to win the big east constantly.

UF yea, no wonder Urban wanted to quit when Tebow left good lord..Brantley is struggling to get used to the speed of the game!

LOLphers now trail 21-10 late in second qtr.

Wow, does Minnesota suck.  I look forward to us again playing for the Little Brown Jug every year.

Since this is an "Early Games" thread and doesn't mention college football specifically I mention that Hercules is up 2 goals against Barca, upset of the morning so far.

Is Lattimore the genuine article or is Georgia still in rebuild mode?

is lousy?

45-0 at the half so time to head out for some fresh air before the main event at 3:30.

One take on this game - Frazer is just not a very accurate passer.  He has all day to throw and the receivers are wide open - it looks like a practice drill - and he still doesn't hit them in stride.  If he can't get better at that it will likely hurt them all year against better teams.  Too bad for them because they are pretty good in some other areas.

But I was wondering if anyone else saw that Pat White signed a contract with the KC Royals. I remember reading that he was a great high school baseball player. Could be a very nice career move if he makes it to the majors. A lot longer shelf life in MLB than the NFL.

SD scores on a 61-yard pass.  Great googily moogily.  Minnesota is horrid.

It would be a great story if he caught a break with the Royals. Outfielder chasing fly balls has to be better on the constitution than running for life from 260lb linebackers. Best of luck to him.

I hope David Gilreath is ok.  Being put in an ambulance right now.

punt returner Gilreith (sp?) took a sandwich hit on a helmet to helmet. looks serious... knocked out

27-10 SoDak over Minny

And the University of South Dakota is not on it, nor are they one of the unranked teams that received votes.

Big Ten Network just named Adam Weber and some Minnesota receiver as their "RO-TEL - Velveeta Connection of the Game."  Even though Minnesota is trailing by 11 to a bad Div. 1-AA team.

Marve proving he's worth all the hype today. YPC 5.2 , 1 TD and 1 INT

Dierking still at 6.2 /carry

MSU-FAU game stream not working,any other suggestions?

Wisconsin has some apparent Red Zone issue with the ball. They've potentially left 18 points on the field due to fumbles/turnovers in the RZ. [Hope Gilreath is ok, and it appears that taking him to the hospital is just cautionary.]

Also, WTF Purdue and Florida? Florida was suspect to begin with I guess, and as much as I hate Purdue('s coach) and it makes me feel better about ND, I don't like seeing a Big 10 team struggling to score on the WIU's of the world.

could have had 2 FCS opponents on our schedule instead of just 1.

One bright spot for Minnesota: they've gone back to their yellow pants, instead of that awful all-maroon look, which resembled a set of pajamas. 

This has got to be Weber's 8th season at UMinnesota. Only Carlos Snow had a longer tenure in the Big Ten.
