Noon Games (open thread) + Viewing Schedule

Improvement Week. But still...get'up, it's GAMEDAY! Blacksburg, VA WAS ROCKING (for ESPN College Gameday)!

Not a GREAT week of football, but it could be worse...it could be June. Besides, some potentially sneaky good games or close games like the one last night.

EDIT: Changed from ESPN College Gameday (open thread) to Noon Games (open thread)

I am very disappointed that the first question was not about sharks, or at least that he failed to state some kind of disclaimer that ESPN not ask about sharks, almost daring them to do so.

It is 11 AM for a game against a mediocre at best Northwestern team.

And Florida and Vandy almost managed to both go three and out before Wisconsin and Northwestern kicked. Was about 10 seconds short.

I can't stand when DBs are in terrible position, get lucky on a poorly thrown or dropped ball...and then go all "no fly zone" when it's incomplete. Dude, you just got burnt! Shut up and not back to the line of scrimmage. Boubacar Cissoko has scarred me for life.

Florida has a 365 game not shutout streak. Who was the previous one? Michigan which ended against ND. Under Hoke. Of course... Friggin Hoke...

Not so worried about our trip to Madison anymore. Our front 7 is going to go crazy on their Oline.

Not sure I follow. Wisconsin is not in our division. The higher they're ranked the better for us when we play them. If we win helps strength of schedule. If we lose won't hurt as much. Either way this is making me more confident for our game.
