Top four is boring, but this is pretty loaded across the second tier.

Also pretty excited to see what the turnout is in Boone tonight. The atmosphere is what makes college football (all sports, really), and most of these places that end up with Tuesday or Wednesday night games aren't able to deliver a full stadium. App State is strong enough to overcome that, I hope.

 

[Ale Xander]

7PM slate is decent.

Going to be interesting to see if it's more like a road game for Duke, given the opponent.
-------------------
Go Trojans!


Also looking forward to Bama Arky, since there is nothing to lose this year.

 

[canderson]

I'm really excited for Oregon v Washington.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Roll Wave, Roll!

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Coastal-Appy coming down to the wire. Tied 24-24; Coastal facing a 4th and 2 in field goal range with 5:05 left.

Good crowd too. I could get used to Fun Belt on Tuesday nights. Looks like Southern Miss at South Alabama gets this slot next week.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Wow, Coastal goes for it and loses a yard.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Holy shit, and now App State hits a huge play only to fumble downfield.

 

[ernieshore]

Will the Coastal coach actually kick it?

 

[ernieshore]

Miss it.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Realized I was watching on like a 4 minute delay. :facepalm:

App State tackling was just atrocious on the final drive.

LOL wow that kick was close.

Really fun game.

 

[cornwalls@6]

Outstanding thread titled. My season died in Louisville last Saturday night. Now I’m living to ruin USC’s this Saturday night.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

I swear some of these schools have to be intentionally trying to make their uniforms as uninteresting and as un-telegenic as possible. Houston going white/black/black and even painting their field black and white -- they must be trying to match the energy in the stands.

 

[moretsyndrome]

SMU dominating the “1985 Pats Backfield Bowl”

 

[Awesome Fossum]

SMU wearing all white; ECU wearing all black. wtf.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

SMU wearing all white; ECU wearing all black. wtf.

I kind of love ECU's look

 

[shawnrbu]

Cougs!!!

 

[canderson]

That WVU guy should walk back to campus for the personal foul. Wow.

That blown game also puts Texas back in its own control.

 

[Ale Xander]

Jimmy Rollins is very very happy

It’s called Cougar High for a reason.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

This Tulane QB is living on the edge.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The Colorado game being on at 10pm on a Friday night is a great example of why the Pac-12 failed.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

I guess. ACC, Big 10, and Big 12 have also played Fridays night this season. Cincy at BYU kicked off at 10:15 in Week 5.

 

[jon abbey]

Colorado has not showed up for the second half so far, 29-0 lead down to 29-19.

 

[jon abbey]

Now 36-33, Stanford has the ball at their own 1 with 2:55 left.

 

[DanoooME]

Interesting choice by Prime Time to win the toss and select offense

 

[nattysez]

Everyone on the field looks exhausted.

Unreal. Stanford has been hot garbage this year and came back from being down 29.

Stanford lost to Sacramento State a few weeks ago.

 

[DanoooME]

Sanders, you can't make that throw. Throw it out of the end zone. You've certainly got the arm for it.

 

[patinorange]

Crazy game.

 

[jon abbey]

Pretty sure Bryce Harper is done wearing Prime gear for this postseason after that, 46-14 Stanford after halftime.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Thrilled to see that Tulane came back to take the W.

 

[canderson]

Can we stop the Colorado talk finally?

 

[Awesome Fossum]

That's unbelievable. Went to bed when CU went up 22-0.

Thrilled to see that Tulane came back to take the W.

Big win for the Wave. Puts them in the drivers seat in the conference for sure.

 

[canderson]

Stanford lost to Sacramento State. At home.

That is a horrrrrrrrible CU choke. Yikes.

 

[Awesome Fossum]

Maybe the Ivy League should play one game at 9am? Or maybe the military academies. The students have to show up either way. Surely there is a solution here.

 

[The Social Chair]

Fun day for Pats fans who are looking forward to the draft

UNC/Miami
Oregon/Washington
USC/Notre Dame

 

[Ale Xander]

LOL Colorado. I guess I missed a great game.

Just saw the 10 minute highlight video. Ayomanor looked like a star

Can't believe CU went on 4th down up 29-0.

Teams looked like they switched jerseys at halftime.
Weird how a head coach who’s one of the best dbacks in the history of the game (both at D1 and NFL) let’s his team allown2 60+ TD catch and runs
Dying to know how it went for @Old Fart Tree

 

[Ale Xander]

Hogs need this upset big

 

[luckiestman]

Seminoles Coleman. One of the best catches you will ever see followed by a fumble luckily recovered by the Noles (maybe, going to replay, not sure why)

 

[Ale Xander]

Vandy is up on Georgia

don’t think this lasts but wow

 

[luckiestman]

Can all of the New England states and NY come together and form one watchable college football team.

 

[AMS25]

Can all of the New England states and NY come together and form one watchable college football team.

New England + NY = aging populations, not a lot of kids. It's not surprising that parts of the country where 1) birth rates are higher, and 2) football is super popular produce more kids to play football.

Florida doesn’t have this problem

This sounds like cope but I will ignore that and ask do you support my proposed merger?

Can't hurt.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The New Englork University Woodchucks. Go ‘Chucks!

 

[Ale Xander]

This noon slate is pretty bad

 

[luckiestman]

This noon slate is pretty bad

Seminoles are playing so bad but Syracuse seems like they grabbed 50 random kids from the school and made them go to Tallahassee

 

[Ale Xander]

How many of these 11 Cuse kids on defense have scholarships? 5?

 

[Helmet Head]

Michigan appears to be very good this year but they have played literally nobody. Has be to one the easiest schedules to open a season for a team of that caliber. Next year, they have a brutal schedule.
