LSU is making a Title run. I have them beating my beloved Tide in T-town this year and Georgia in the SECCG.. Bama losing both ILB will hurt bad in games with a good QB with a quick offense. Only thing hurting LSU is their slobbering coach.. I really like Coach O, as a coordinator, but as a HC? Nope! That team will lay down their lives for him which is awesome. Can he scheme and gameplay, and handle the pressure of being the hunted though? We will see.

Not buying tOSU or Oklahoma.. every year we see both of those teams look great and put up 5000 yds a game until they play a defense with a pulse. 

How long is Michigan gonna put up with Harbaugh? Wasn’t Michigan supposed to be Natty champs by now? Wasn’t JH the next Nick Saban? I’m not saying he should be fired, but WTF? Michigan fans, help me understand this please? I see the game as a flaming Dbag.. Am I wrong?

The nice thing is that we are gonna find out about LSU, OSU and OU in the coming weeks.   I'm a Buckeyes fan that isn't sold on Fields one bit.  I think OU's defense will still be their downfall, most definitely against Texas and I'm thinking also in Bedlam (another game they were lucky to win last year).  

As for Harbaugh...   I think he's just a weird dude.  Players probably love him (Shea Patterson's Twitter burner account aside) and he makes the fans feel all warm and fuzzy like it's the good old days but in reality his body of work is underwhelming there so far

Texas State had 150 more yards and 11 more first downs, while somehow managing to lose by 9 to Wyoming. GT had to work hard to keep USF within 4 at the gun. The Jackets basically dominated. UConn wouldn't come within 8 of Illinois if they played 20 more times. Just one of those days.  
Penalties kept Charlotte in that game, it was ugly.    Yes, of course I watched the whole thing

As I think has been well established, you have issues.

TV Stuff...

College Gameday, a once informative show has devolved into a 3 hour fluff piece filled with buffoonery and stupidity that is no longer watchable by anyone with half a brain.  Having Lee Corso out there is a joke, having The Bear making picks and the hosts nodding their heads and reading from their scripts as if they know what he's talking about is an insult to all of us here.  

You mean you didn't love " Is Desmond Howard gonna have to "CHOKE A B ITCH?"

Guess just me and Wayne Brady stayed with them until he dropped that bomb.

UNC has done well winning their first 2 games under Coach Mack Brown and they were Underdogs both games ... If North Carolina wins Friday at Wake Forest they will become the 5th team to win their first 3 games as an Underdog..The other teams were 2012 Oregon State,2004 FAU,2001 Fresno State and 1993 Louisiana..

  Actually the 1993 Louisiana Team lost their 3rd game but its rare for a team to win their first 3 games straight up as an Underdog peace_5

[Quote: An why don't more teams run the triple option more often? Army runs it to precision. [/Quote]

 

because Triple Op at Army is run by soldiers, no other team has soldiers in their ranks, so no other team has that precision and discipline

I feel Charlotte will cover a lot of games this year.

Michigan's defense did ok, not spectacular but ok. The last time Army was held to 243 yards or less was Navy in 2017. (another triple option team) 14 points in regulation despite all the turnovers.

And Brown's defense is geared to play offense's like Wisconsin's. 

But that Michigan offense has NO IDENITY at all!!! Patterson sloppy as hell. Two veteran linemen get false start calls, red-shirt freshmen at the tackle positions don't help either. (Runyan, a junior tackle is expected back for Wisconsin) How about WR Peoples-Jones?? No word what his problem is??

Right now the Under for this game might look interesting.

Interesting note; One of Michigan's best offensive plays that they used against Middle-Tenn was fully dissected on TV by none other than Urban Meyer. "Here's how the play works, we had Barrett run that play, here are the key reads the QB makes, etc, etc."
Guess paybacks are still coming.

I cant wait to fade what might be the mist overrated squad in the country when the meat of the schedule comes .....Might be tough sledding after the next game vs PITT 

At MD 
PURDUE 
At Iowa 
MICHIGAN 
At Michigan st 
At Minnesota 


That QB is fast, but not quick , and doesnt know when to slide ...Almost got his head taken off last night ...Cant see him playing more than 6 games ....

LOL as an alumni, he is definitely a douche but I love it. He's no worse than Urban was or Harbaugh. This is his MO, haven't you been watching last several seasons? PSU is a second half team. And I agree, they are very overrated, but not many upperclassmen start. Clifford* is quick, runs a 4.5 i believe. Every one of their road games are vs ranked opponents I believe. Going 8-4 will be a success in my eyes. 

Funny how everyone will call him a douche for playing hard (or wanting to cover the spread lol), but nobody will state that it was a classy act that him and several players constantly checked on and visited your punter who had a compound fracture in the hospital. That's pretty classy if you ask me.

Good info this morning on Vsin about UCLA/Oklahoma game...

UCLA is giving 4 free tickets to anyone that attended the San Diego State game last week.  Announced attendance was over 36,000 but people there say it was considerably less.   Fear is that OU will travel well and turn into a Sooners home game

T. Boone Pickens passed away today...    He's the billionaire that Oklahoma State's stadium is named after.   I was avoiding the Cowboys this week even though I like them but they are at Texas next week, I may rethink this

No free UCLA tickets for me, thank you.

You couldn't pay me to drive on California freeways! Took grandkids to Disneyland last year, never again. Bumper to bumper at 60-70 mph if your lucky. Insane place to live.

Sad to see Pickens go. Great safe made man.

Brother 
Sorry I was just salty after the game .....

My Father called me at half time and said he never thought he would ever see his school leading Penn State at half ( He is also a HUGE PENN ST FAN ) ....We used to go down to at least 1 game every year ....

That was extremely classy to check on the punter ....His mom is my friend on FB , She was on FB live when the play happened ....

Moving forward I Hope your boys pull a few upsets , I don't want to see Ohio St or Michigan in the playoff ....

Sparty sure looks tough !!!

Don't think I'd ever go to a Bruins game even if they played at the park by my house ......

Does Chip last the whole season ????

The quote of the Millennium was uttered afterwards by none other than Darth Saban himself about his scheduling prowess, somthing like this.... "Well, (Reaganesque head nod for effect).... if someone would come play us, that would be great.   But it's hard getting folks to play us." Note the word "come".  Nicky has ZERO interest in a home and home series - unless both "homes" are in Tuscaloosa.  So he cuts 7 figure checks to the Aggies Empire to come get woodsheded.  (Rumor is UC -Davis or N.C. AT &T are next!) Yes Satan,  upon your exile from the Dolphins, there was actually a 4 games in 10 year gig with Notre Dame - 2 home and 2 away.  The latter part was not suitable apparently after you arrived.  Hmmmmm. There, that's better.

Alabama does have some Home and Homes starting in 2022. As a Bama fan and season ticket holder I hate these crappy non-conference games and the neutral site games as well. 

2022 @ Texas 

2024 @ Wisconsin 

2026 @ WVU

2028 @ Notre Dame

2032 @ Oklahoma

LOL never apologize man all good. And I agreed. He is definitely douchey (at times). Whispers are in the NCAA realm that Franklin loves to cover and always knows the spread. I think he's something like 27-13 ATS since start of 2016 season. 

Hoping they can give tOSU a run for their money. For some reason the numbers 4 and 5 have given me nightmares since last season. tOSU has looked good and I'm expecting another beat down at Indiana this week.

Michigan looks like hot garbage. Shea is extremely overrated and everyone expected them to produce since Gattis became OC this year. There's a reason Franklin didn't name him OC after Moorehead left. Hard to just plug in two top in the top 12 picks in NFL and another two in the 3rd round. Freshman RB is very slow and play calling is still SOS. They got extremely lucky Monken had extreme brain damage trying to drive the field and win that game.  

MSU deff worries me. They always have our number. Maryland looks scary as well and I think they are treating it like their superbowl. At Kinnick is always difficult and they needed all they got from Saquon/Trace and all the clock last time they visited. We will see, again hoping for 8-4.
