College football Week 1 thread

Tulsa (and my 8-teamer) back from the dead!

 

He ended the first half 5-of-10 with 107 yards.
Rutgers can't stop the pass, while the Cougs can't make tackles on the runs. Halliday is on a roll.

 

Pretty nice fourth quarter from Ole Miss. Wallace finally looked like he was on the same page with his WRs and finished with some pretty solid numbers. But anybody who thinks this was vintage Boise hasn't been paying attention. There's a reason why Chris Peterson chose this moment to leave for a better offer.

 

Furniture store in College Station offered all your money back if A&M beat the Cocks by 10 points. Fans got $1M in free stuff. Insurance paid out, company premium was about $150K.

I know SC doesn't usually lose at home and A&M was the underdog, but usually deals like this are a lot more far-fetched than a 10-point road win. Usually it's contingent on a national title being won.

 

Actually, no. Today's students not going to games are tomorrow's alums not donating to the school and athletic department. Part of the problem with attendance, I think, is that schools have bent over so much for the short-term gain of big-money donors that the students realize they're getting shit on, and they stay away.

 

Looks as if Temple is ready to play some big-boy football this year. ;=>

 

Got out just in time! /James Franklin

 

Nobody said he was a shitty coach. .

With all of his division, league and national titles, it's a shame he hasn't been inducted into the HOF yet.

With his attention to detail on the defensive side of the ball, he will be a great fit in Dallas next year.

 

The area in the middle is often pretty comfortable, you guys. He's not SHITTY!!! And he's not the GREATEST EVER!!!!! But he's a pretty damn good coach.

I thought he was great during the coaches roundtable thing during the national title game last year.

 

Agreed. That roundtable was awesome.
