Yes. There is a thread here for it.

Whoops, missed that. Carry on.

(2) Ohio State at Indiana 8:00 pm ESPN

Hang on...the Big Ten is playing a conference game in August?

Doug Beerabelli · Aug 27, 2017

Going to the UConn game v Holy Cross with Clears Cleaver and a few other SoSohers. Annual UConn tailgate group outing. Unfortunately, they will kick us out of the tailgate and make us go to the game by end of first quarter.

Randy is back. Not a very imaginative hire, but play calling and in-game coaching decisions should improve immensely. That's a very low bar to go over, of course.

LSU v. BYU moved to Superdome

If the Florida State-Alabama game goes into multiple OTs and stretches to four hours will the Chick-fil-A stand close at the stroke of midnight Sunday?

Infield Infidel · Aug 31, 2017

Indiana leads Ohio State 14-13 at the half. OSU has given up their most 1st half passing yards since 2012

Infield Infidel · Aug 31, 2017

Buckeyes woke up, now up 35-21.

Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat · Aug 31, 2017

42-21 and another INT

Buckeyes add another for an unlikely cover. 49-21.

On a fourth down play. Nice back door cover.

Fourrrrrrrrrrrrr

Dr. Winston O'Boogie · Sep 2, 2017

I'm flipping between the UT game and Sox, but Buechele looks like shit from what I've seen.

Infield Infidel · Sep 2, 2017

Hill's having a heckuva game for Texas

mauf · Sep 2, 2017

Anyone watching more closely than me have any insight on the injury in the UT-Maryland game?

Didn't see the injured player move his legs or arms. They didn't show a replay. And the body language of the Terps suggests the worst.

Fuck.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 2, 2017

I just tuned into the Maryland/UT game, so I didn't see the injury you're talking about. It's currently 37-34 Maryland, but Maryland's QB looks like he just blew out his knee. They are bringing in the redshirt freshman, 4 star recruit that is supposedly the future of the program.

terrynever · Sep 2, 2017

Tommy Stevens is a helluva backup QB for Penn State and will be used in a two-QB package. 6-5 and 224, hard runner. Can't believe he didn't transfer.

When it rains, it pours.

Obviously this is on a whole other level than the earlier injury.

I assume Texas will win this game. Can't imagine the Terps rallying.

You were saying?

Deathofthebambino · Sep 2, 2017

The kid looks like the real deal. Converts a 3rd and 19 on a beautiful throw that the receiver broke a tackle and went 40 yards, and then he punched it in himself on the ground. Maryland by 10 now.

Bosoxen · Sep 2, 2017

And going for it on 4th down on the previous drive will be what ends up costing Texas the game. So much for the coaching improvements this staff was supposed to bring.

That was a horrible decision and a terrible playcall. Still unimpressed by Buechele this game.

Kremlin Watcher · Sep 2, 2017

Well, at least the OU tickets will be cheap this year.

Deathofthebambino · Sep 2, 2017

They just announced an update on that kid's condition, he is awake and moving. At the hospital for tests, but sounds good.

Fred in Lynn · Sep 2, 2017

Is that Danielson? I hate when people get wishy-washy with rules based on timing or setting of a game. It's either targeting or not.

loshjott · Sep 2, 2017

Maryland puts up a 50 burger in Austin and about to win handily despite giving up two special teams TDs and a pick 6.

johnmd20 · Sep 2, 2017

Stay Texas, Texas. That's a brutal loss to start the season.

Dr. Winston O'Boogie · Sep 2, 2017

A huge screw up by the refs takes 4 points off the board for Michigan. Unfortunate.

Infield Infidel · Sep 2, 2017

Not sure if they mentioned it but this is Florida's first regular season non-conference game outside of Florida since 1991 (a loss at Syracuse). That was the year Dick McPherson was hired by the Patriots, Paul Pasqualoni took over and went 10-2

snowmanny · Sep 2, 2017

I see Florida finally found a quarterback who can throw touchdown passes for them. Fuck.

Infield Infidel · Sep 2, 2017

Miami has turnover ice. Anyone who gets a turnover gets to wear a gold chain on the sideline with a giant U on it

And now he's benched.

This game has got to be frustrating for Harbaugh. And Speight's confidence has to be shaken a bit. Florida doesn't seem to be too hurt by 8-player (or is it 10 at game time?) suspension, although I haven't drilled down on how many were actual starters. One thing for sure, there is speed all over the place in this game. As a Penn State guy, it hurt to see former Nittany commit Quinn Nordin hit that 55-yarder. But good for him. 2-for-2 in his 1st game so far. Oh well, Penn State isn't doing too badly with Tyler Davis, and have the commitment from one of the top kickers for 2018 with Jake Pinegar.

Seriously on the bolded. I'm always glad to see kickers do well. No one pays attention to them unless they miss. A team with a good kicker can win games they probably shouldn't win otherwise.

stp130 · Sep 2, 2017

Georgia starter Jacob Eason goes down with a knee injury on a late hit on the second series of the year. Super-recruit Jake Fromm in.

ElUno20 · Sep 2, 2017

It's way too hot in LA right now to be doing anything much less play a football game in the oven that is the coliseum. They should have flexed this game back to at least 6pm

teddywingman · Sep 2, 2017

The Louisville helmets look like Christmas tree ornaments.

Infield Infidel · Sep 2, 2017

Great catch by this Appy St WR

RedOctober3829 · Sep 2, 2017

FSU looks like the better team so far.

dcmissle · Sep 2, 2017

Daboll just made his bones with that series of plays. Masterful

USC's blind long snapper had a successful debut. http://www.barstoolsports.com/viral/blind-usc-longsnapper-jake-olson-checked-into-the-game-and-it-just-got-real-dusty-in-here
