College Football Opening Day: Live Discussion Thread

Make sure to scour channelsurfing and justin.tv and everything and find some links to the second half of Pitt/Utah when I get back. Woooooooo football!!!!!!!!!!

It’s Time

And then hoping Hawaii somehow crushes USC just so I can laugh my head off.

Southern Mississippi @ South Carolina
Marshal @ Ohio State

I feel right at home.

I’m now kinda wishing that Presbyterian could win just to hurt the ACC in the BCS conference rankings. That would help the MWC, albeit only slightly.

but the current forecast for Knoxville at kickoff on Saturday is 74 degrees

Getting this season started right.

just because it’s what BYU deserves

He’s on the FAMU game.

You spend the whole offseason waiting for football just to find your team playing a completely overmatched 1-AA squad who can’t possibly hope to …

…oh.

South Carolina opening the game via running through the ’Cock

Pumped after giving up a 13 yard gain?

but South Carolina is making me feel better about that game already.

This is a fun start to the season.

Not sure.

Beat Will to the banning button. ;-)

Monday-Night Football commercial.

WOO FOOTBALL IS BACK

When at Florida, Spurrier got so used to watching Carolina lose that he’s having a hard time breaking the habit.

off to a good start this year too

look about 8 feet tall.

Buffalo leading Rhode Island 3-0 in the early going.

/sigh

So when is this going to blow up?

It’s a real nice time to find out my satellite dish needs “re-pointing.”

Impressive.

Hi-def color? Does anyone know if it’s 1080p? How many ports?

What a reception! Boom indeed!

Was that two of the most humorless coaches ever engaging in a whimsical commercial? I am shocked.

is dominating Marshall on offense, but has had an XP partially blocked and a FG blocked.

We’re down the rabbit hole, y’all.

Or does my internet need “re-pointing?”

Looks a whole lot spiffier.

Uncatcheable, wasn’t it?

WHEEEE college fb is here!!!!

I wonder if anybody sells out anymore

And our community. Anyone watching the justin.tv comment thread?

So much wasted energy in recruiting

We’ve been starved of football for so dang long that we’re live-blogging a SC game! Joel, your perennial post of supply finally meeting pent up demand is dead on!

USC v. SMU just got re-pointed to Utah-Pitt.

Garcia’s confidence -1

How “chest-bumpy” are you now feeling?

If USC has a Garcia who makes good decisions, a 6’4" VHT receiver, and that little quarkback (not to mention the defense), they could be very, very good.

HOORAY!

A bunch of blah blah blah.

Let’s not fool ourselves, ESPN: NC State is better than Southern Miss.

Is great, if it’s still how I recall. As I understand it, you have to ask them for permission and show most of the commercials. Why can’t the NFL allow this? O wayt, they sux.

South Carolina about to be up 24-3.

Garcia 12 of 17 111 yards
Team Rushing 15 carries 130 yards

where everyone starts talking themselves into Carolina beating Georgia next week

It’s 35-0 Miami.

will be 7-0 with the PAT, early 2nd

“Well…”

MTSU is driving to take the lead on Minnesota in the 3rd (ESPNU)

Maybe Mike Hamilton was right.

Buffalo up 31-0 3rd Q on URI. UT thinking: Yikes?

Dude’s on crack.

’Night, all.

downed at the 1

I see that the Cocks are owning, MTSU is slightly up on Minny, Utah leads at half (and I have a stream!). What else have I missed?

supposedly on the list to replace Fulmer two years ago? He’s up there with Mike Leach in terms of bullet dodging…of course, we bit the bullet with the guy we hired, but still…

I’d like to watch the end of that and then switch to Pitt/Utah. Anyone have one?

Utah is DOMINATING Pitt. I expected them to win, but not quite like that.

Was, as I recall, one of our options to replace Cutcliffe in 2008.

Minny driving into the red zone, I think all runs on this drive

will be 24-17 after the PAT, 3:09 to play

Which one is the BCS conference again?

Sota recovers

I’m flying in tomorrow (hurricane permitting), and I just can’t wait to get back into the cool, dry south. It’s been 95 degrees with 90% humidity four days in a row up here. And no one has AC.

Pitt in good position here.

A blocked punt recovered within tht 10.

A noticeable pause between the catch and subsequent drop for the kick.

the pits.

and rightfully so

How’s Pitt’s kicker? I guess he should make a 37 yarder if he doesn’t play for UT.

18 carries, 63 yards, only 3.5 per…that ain’t gonna get it done with this offense

Flag anyways though

and throwing…once again, let there be no doubt who’s calling plays

Puts Pitt in good position though.

CBSSports.com headline is: college football upset alert? Utah leads Pitt.

Uhhh. . . guys. . . Utah is favored.

Lost the stream. The guy wasn’t paying attention and his DVR auto-switched to USC/Hawaii.

See what crowd noise can do?

It’s unnerving.

“They have the all-time motivator of all-time on their side.”

How often does a ranked team drag its sorry butt out the islands, and you can only half fill the stadium?

Let’s go Utes!

61 Yard TD Strike for Utah.

fitting.
