Week 8 College Football Thread

First win over Air Force since 1997, first win over a D1 team in the opener in 30+ years. And I like the idea of getting Air Force and the option off the schedule early.

 

Same. But Boise looms

 

A friend of mine is an associate AD there, it's the only reason I've heard of it.

 

Who on ESPN has been hyping the Hokies this year? They've been relegated to the ACC Network just about every week. As for this season, I could not give less of a fuck. The entire thing has a huge asterisk because games are being dictated by who has a full roster due to COVID.

 

Brent Brennan is a class guy. Very glad they gave him the time to start turning things around after such a poor start. I know/covered half that coaching staff from when they were at Microville Tech.

 

The ACC Network is ridiculous. I have an expanded sports package and don't have it although I do have the SEC and Big ten that works. Why is the ACC putting games out that no one watches?

 

I hear the ACC is moving Pitt’s games to the Laff network, in between episodes of Home Improvement.

 

The Pac-12 Network does the same thing, in an attempt to improve the programming so Direct and other large carriers add it to their lineup. So far, that hasn't happened.

 

I have it on my Hulu Live package. The only time I have ever watched it was the UAB - Miami game early this season.

 

From Facebook today.

"Last week at halftime, some Auburn fans were upset when I poked fun at their loss to the mighty South Carolina Gamecocks. With their feelings in mind, this week, I'd like to offer them my heartiest congratulations on today's game, in which they left no doubt that they have by far the best record of any 1-4 team in this great nation of ours."

 

Since we don't have a Week 9 thread yet ...
