College football week 1 thread: Not So Fast Car

[dixiehack]

This game started a bit after 7 pm Central, so @BYH 2: Electric Boogaloo has a half-hour to go before he has to call the doctor about this hate boner.

 

[Here me roar]

In addition to the obvious reasons this UNC faceplant pleases me, it also reaffirms an old argument of mine. Going from coaching pros to college players is no more of a guaranteed route to success than going the other direction. Too many have a stupid assumption that the worst NFL coach would completely outclass the best college coach. Different skill sets.

Just ask Nick Saban. He was not a pro coach. But he figured it out. College ball is not the NFL.

His team is down 41-7 in the 3Q and ESPN still talking more about Belichick than TCU.

If he isn't here this was a mid-afternoon kick on CW.

For that matter, TCU may pull a Top 25 ranking on the strength of demolishing a 6-7 team that may have regressed. All because of the soup-to-nuts ESPN treatment.

Hope the Frogs kick hell out of them.

It's been quite a while since I enjoyed a Monday night game this much.

The punter just got tackled and nothing

Only thing I could think was maybe TCU blocked him into the guy? The back judge just crossed his arms right after it happened. Announcers never noticed.

Carolina is going to tack on a couple of Make A Wish touchdowns and we will be subjected to a week’s worth of propaganda about how Belichick inspired them to keep fighting until the end.

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

Just a reminder that Texas Christian played for a national championship two years ago, not that you’d notice it from this broadcast team.

That's ok. It was 41-7 with six minutes to go in the third quarter. Game was over, screw a bunch of garbage time scoring.

 

[dixiehack]

Well, they were present when the championship was awarded. Still love them for that bowl win against Michigan though.

 

[tapintoamerica]

They kept going on and on about the great fight that UNC showed in scoring when down 41-7.

How long until the Jets do Jets things and call Sonny Dykes?

 

[DanOregon]

Belichick's coaching staff doesn't exactly inspire confidence. It looks like one of those staffs at a Juco full of former area high school coaches who have been fired or retired.

How long until the Jets do Jets things and call Sonny Dykes?

bruh please just let me have tonight

 

[poindexter]

Also, no one forced them to join the Big 10.

Give up the Notre Dame rivalry. Jesus H Christ, if you give up the Pac 12 to go to the conference with Maryland and Rutgers, I think "tradition" has left the building.

 

[dixiehack]

Jesus. Shotgun victory formation now?

 

[tapintoamerica]

That's a wrap. It's Carolina's most lopsided home loss in 21 years. Specifically since a 34-0 defeat to Louisville on 9/25/2004 per Stathead.

 

[tapintoamerica]

Carolina's most lopsided Ls in a season-opener per Stathead:
37 on 8/30/2003 0-37 FSU at home
37 on 9/28/1907 0-37 @ Penn
34 on 9/1/2025 14-48 TCU at home
