College football, week 1 thread

I liked the Rocky Mountain Shootout because generally speaking no one was that intense about who won or lost. Many of the spectators realize that the final score is not as important as getting high after the game.

 

Oh, it couldn’t possibly be because CU doesn’t like playing a competitive contest against the ag school, is it?

 

He’s not going anywhere. Jimbo ran out of town with the house still burning, and FSU officials are aware that this disaster will take a while to fix (even if the fans refuse to believe the depth of the disaster).

The Mess Jimbo Left: Inside FSU's Fall and Willie Taggart's Plan to Rise Again

 

Mizzou done gone and Mizzou'ed. Fuckers.

 

I don't know how much I could blame Sandy Barbour or Franklin for the Idaho scheduling. They've gone from FBS bowl team to FCS cellar-dweller in the period of three seasons.

And the Vandals are going to jump at any paycheck they can get. If you're say, Villanova with the chance at a big year, you'd rather be the bully than the bullied on Week One. (Although Delaware is an upcoming PSU opponent.)

 

USC QB J.T. Daniels has a torn ACL and meniscus. Out for the season.

The guy who should be the backup, Jack Sears, came in fourth in the fall camp QB derby and entered the transfer portal. He is still in school, hopes to have a degree by December, but could come back at any time. He played the entire game against Arizona State last year and did pretty well.

The guy who finished second, Kedon Slovis, is a true freshman. He was coached in high school by Kurt Warner, who gave him huge props. He played the second half last night and did OK, but juggled two snaps -- one was costly, the other was not, but could have been a disaster.

No. 3 is Matt Fink. He entered the transfer portal after spring camp, but changed his mind and came back, citing the Matt Cassel analogy -- "I'll get a shot at the NFL just by being at USC even if I don't play."

 

BYU is opening as a 2-point favorite at Tennessee next week. Yikes.

 

I have a feeling a few of those games won’t be played. That is brutal.

 

Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback.

 

Unless they add another one before then, the 2029 game will be Florida's first non-conference, on-campus regular season game outside the state of Florida since 1991.
