Kinda disappointed that the Ole Miss/Florida State game isn't on tv tonight.  Opening season #11 vs opening season #4?  You'd think one of the many local sports stations would pick it up.

They usually only show Thursday college and Saturday during the NFL season. TSN has priority to NBA and NHL.

 

The fact they show any college is a good start since the options are even less for college basketball.

 

Part of it to is they want to get the College sports networks like the SEC Big 12 etc and buy it as a package.

 

Same as NFL Sunday ticket if you want to watch every single game of your favorite teams.

THIS.

 

Boy that Bama-SC game was f****** BRUTAL. What killed us at least early on was little mistakes. Against a well oiled machine in alabama you cannot afford to have these lapses in concentration on 3rd down. IDK what the punter was doing either, play to the god damn whistle and make a play for christ sakes. Disappointed that Juju didn't get more targets, I guess I will have to get used to Max spreading the ball opposed to cody forcing it to Juju. At the end of the day it is the best time to lose, regroup next week beat USU and get ready to smash stanford in the damn mouth the week after that

 

Fight On Baby! 

How do you explain why USC offensive skill players turn into busts and never realize their potential in the NFL?

 

What makes you think that JuJu Smith is anything from the overhauled busts that came before him?

 

Woods,Lee,Agholor all are nearing bust territory.

Tough game

...and I didn't even get to watch the game. (I guess that may have been a good thing<_<)

 

They certainly won't be #3 (or likely in the top 10) next week. They have a game they should dominate next week against Louisiana Monroe, but after that, the Buckeyes are coming to Norman. If they want any shot at all, they've got to win that one...

I love college football.  Every week there are upsets, routs, record breaking plays, etc.  Look at Louisville Lamar Jackson, dual threat QB racked up 8 tds in the first half alone:

That's some video game stats right there.

 

This is what happens when you have a 120+ team league, there is always something going on.

Hi let's be honest too. The talent in college is heavily concentrated among 20 or so famous programs who consistently produce NFLers.

 

It helps when you are playing against guys who are not even good enough probably to play even in the CFL in some cases.

Off to a great start to this football season with a, what soon will be, an annihilation of Hawaii by my Wolverines. 

One more week until NFL as well. ::D::D

Kinda surprises me that Hawaii isn't a powerhouse, living in Hawaii and getting a paid for education would be a pretty effective recruiting tool IMO

Did anyone read the stat about University of Houston's average recruiting distance for all it's players?  It's like 34miles, so basically their entire roster is within an earshot of the campus.  Speaks volumes about the state of Texas and their football lol.  I think the average distance for the rest of the programs is around 300miles.

They mentioned that during the game. Pretty wild. They then said Houston's ability to recruit as well might be hurt if they join the Big 12.

 

Can anyone explain why Big 12 recruiting is slipping in Texas? Or why Houston in particular would be hurt if they joined?

Oops lol^ 

 

Well you get the idea, glad Florida is back in the top 25 and also glad their game was on tv last sat.  Also shot out to Verne Lundquist who calls all the SEC games on CBS.  This is his last season and imo has been one of the better football play by play guys out there.

By Military1 Staff

West Point cadet and Army football player Brandon Jackson was killed in a car accident on Sunday night, the Army confirmed in a press release.

Jackson, a sophomore at the academy, was a starting defensive back for the Knights, and played in the Army’s game against Rice on Saturday, where he picked up two tackles and an assist.

“Words cannot describe the grief that our team is feeling over the loss of our brother and friend, Brandon,” head coach Jeff Monken said in the press release. “He was a beloved teammate and our hearts are with his family at this time of tragedy.”

Teammates, veterans and fans took to social media to express their sympathies to Jackson’s friends and family.

Washington Huskies are crushing it...107 points in 2 games.

I played against their star tailback in my Jr. year of HS, everytime he sees him on tv he always makes a point of saying that he had a 4 yard TFL against him :lol:. I still see the Dawgs losing at least 3 games if not more this year, including 1 to my trojans.

Oh no don't get me wrong they are a good team, but the are still very young, especially at key ball handling positions, if browning and gaskin stay for their senior years I could definitely see them competing for the NC in 2019. Peterson knows how to build a successful, stable, and respectful program.
