Running 2021-22 CFB Thread

“Covers” is doing a lot of work there. Goodman’s a hot take hack that has never done any actual reporting that I’ve noticed. He’s Jox-FM show prep come to life.

 

Yeah, true enough. I didn't want to slag the guy and pulled the punch.

 

College football's second season (or is it the first season of 2021?) started today. There are eight Division III games being played today.

What does UCF have to do with a column burying Harsin?

 

Why in the blue hell did Rhodes schedule a night game in February? Did they think they were stealing viewers from Duke-Carolina?

 

I misspoke. Was thinking about Tennessee.

 

Oregon's starting QB is transferring. Has three years of eligibility left. Originally a UNC commit, but UNC is pretty set at QB.

Oregon Ducks’ starting QB Tyler Shough announces transfer

 

I thought he was one of the weak links on the team last year, but was young. Ducks will probably have somebody better lined up.

 

I see no FCS football on the ESPN+ schedule today. Isn't this the week the season starts? What gives?

 

McNeese (apparently no longer a State) at Tarleton is today’s only game, and it’s a Fox Sports Go joint.

Speaking of FCS on ESPN, UAB opens with Jacksonville State in a neutral site game in Montgomery on Wednesday night of Week Zero of the 2021 season. Neither group of fans are particularly happy about that. It's a bid to be the ESPN first FCS game and on national TV.

As a UAB fan, none of us are charged up about a game ninety miles from home on a Wednesday night... but given that it comes when most of the country is still CFB starved we'll deal with it - if it actually turns up on ESPN. Coach Clark is a Jax State alum, and was coaching there when we hired him away.

 

Little surprised ESPN isn't going to throw Jackson State's opener on ESPNEWS or something.
