College football Week 3 thread

Fires started by drunk kids at Spartan Village > fires started by Santa Ana winds.

 

As a CMU alum, all I want out of this weekend is video of Ed Orgeron making at least one attempt to say the word "Chippewas."

 

"Those sissy Chippewas."

 

Michigan State fans are freaking out
“Hey, it’s going to be really hot for a noon game in Miami.”
Ya think?

 

It is dastardly of Miami to make that a noon kick.

 

As of 4:30 pm ET, according to weather.com,

East Lansing MI, 85F
Miami FL, 78F

Feature stories this week in the Det papers on Mon/Tues describing how Mel Tucker was running practices all week indoors with temps about 90-95 with 90 percent humidity.

better look for another excuse

 

Uhhhh… look at the dew point in each place. Temperature and humidity percentages don’t mean much compared to that.

 

Last month, right as I was approaching the Indiana-Illinois border, I found some radio station doing an extended live remote from something called the Half Century of Progress show. From what I gathered, it was an exhibition and celebration of old farm machinery. The male protagonists in Hallmark movies don’t talk about their lovers as tenderly and passionately as the radio announcers did about those old John Deere and International Harvester machines. I think those people have been staring at corn stalks for too long.

Anyway, if you can imagine one of those vintage tractors trying to turn over on a 30-degree morning, that’s a good approximation of the Illini offense.

 

I just want to see Locksley and Bielema oil wrestle each other at halftime.

 

That’s one hell of a plot twist to Louisville-UCF. Knights get a pick in the final minute of a tie game and look like they’re about to go down for the winning score. Nope. Pick six Cards.

 

That was a pre-taped halftime show.

What the hell?

 

Even Illinois’ best plays are on the ragged edge of self-immolation.
