Week 2 College Football Open Thread

Monster Saturday and I have to go to a family reunion. I guess that's my luck. Don't let me stand in your way of commenting on the college football games that you're watching. There are several must see games today and it seems like all of them are playing in the 3:30 time slot. So leave all your thoughts on the games here.

Announcing schedule and the Must List

Games I'll be trying to watch:
Georgia vs. South Carolina (ESPN, 12:00)
South Florida vs. Florida (SEC Network, 12:00)
Michigan vs. Notre Dame (NBC, 3:30)
Oklahoma vs. Florida State (ABC, 3:30)
Colorado vs. California (FSN, 3:30)
Ohio State vs. Miami (ESPN, 3:40)
Penn State vs. Alabama (ESPN, 7:00)
Stanford vs. UCLA (ESPN, 10:30)

  1. I'll be leaving at around halftime of the morning games. Feel free to keep leaving comments once I leave. I should be back for the night games.

  2. Will you at least be able to watch some of the games?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Yes, because I know my dad will turn on the TV and start watching Cal.

  4. I am going to Bloomsburg's 1st home game of the season at 1:00 ET. The good news about my new apartment: I now live a quarter of a mile away from the stadium. We are hosting Clarion today.

    Go Huskies!

  5. If Kansas wins more than 4 games this year, I'll be surprised.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Florida looks terrible. And it's not just the offense, it's the defense.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Bloomsburg 41, Clarion 13.

    Vuvuzelas at football games rule.

  8. JMU beat Virginia Tech. I think you can say goodbye to Boise St.'s title hopes.

    ReplyDelete
  9. where's RJBO? Michigan's in the lead at The Place That Shall Not Be Named in Indiana.

    ReplyDelete
  10. This Federer/Djokovic tennis match is absolutely fantastic at the moment

    ReplyDelete
  11. where's RJBO?

    Family reunion + steady rain + being the designated driver = zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    I got home in time to see SHOELACE'S GW TD TO RESTORE MICHIGAN TO GLORY!!!!!

    /trying..not..to get...sucked..IN!

  12. Robert Smith: "Denard Robinson is the leader in the clubhouse for the Heisman."

    ???? Dude, it's only two F---ING GAMES! Calm the fuck down with the hyperbole, former Buckeye.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Well that drive could have gone better for PSU.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I'm watching WDIV's Mich-ND postgame with Gary Moeller.

    Wow. He sounds like he just left the Excalibur Restaurant again.

    /"Take me to jail, boys"d

    ReplyDelete
  15. That was a fantastic catch by Moye.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Huge mistake by Bolden. Should have taken the sack.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It must be said, though, how in the wide world was that not pass interference?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Never mind. Bolden was hit as he threw. That means fair game on the WRs.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Richardson is plowing right through Penn State. Geez.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Robert Smith on the ACC: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed are kings."

    Winnar!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Penn State tackling is flat out horrendous.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Penn State tackling is flat out horrendous.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Touchdown Bama. Can't say this is too shocking.

    ReplyDelete
  24. 14-0 'Bama. 97 yard TD drive.

    ...when is the lightning delay going to be over in Knoxville?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Who is hosting the live blog tomorrow?

    ReplyDelete
  26. If nothing else, Penn State has shown the ability to move the ball on the defense.

    I haven't a clue...

    /won't be the first time I'll say that
    //nor last

    ReplyDelete
  29. @ RJBO: I don't think anyone has any idea. I'll be around.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Pat Summerall approves of Brent's call of that fumble late. Geez.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Brent: "That's one of the Big Ten's better referees." HA!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Brent, stop calling the Nittany Lions the "Lions." Penn State has won more than 3 games combined in the last two seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  33. All that and the drive ends in a punt.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Alabama are getting away with every sort of hold imaginable.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Herm Edwards is absolutely abysmal on college football.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Penn State gets the ball to start the 2nd half. If they can manage to score on this drive, this game is not over by a long shot.

    ReplyDelete
  37. TOUCHDOWN WYOMING! UPSET CITY!

    /it's only the 2nd quarter

    ReplyDelete
  38. What a tremendous day. I found out my brother is finally in the maintenance part of his Leukemia treatments, meaning he doesn't have to take chemo unless something goes wrong.

    ReplyDelete
  39. BTW, I watched a good part of the Michigan-Notre Dame. I'll drink the Michigan cool-aid now.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Congrats to your brother, Keith. Continue fighting the good fight.

    I'll drink the Michigan cool-aid now.

    UMass, BG & Indiana will mean you won't be the only one in the next 3 weeks. I'll stand by my insistence of Michigan beating someone of consequence in conference.

    ReplyDelete
  41. PSU has a timeout left. If they can get a FG to end this half, that would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Congrats on the good news for your brother, Keith!

    ReplyDelete
  43. @RJBO: What impresses me about Michigan, is that their defense actually looks good. Robinson is a capable QB, but it's the Michigan defense that worried me.

    BTW, nothing would make me happier than an Oregon loss to Tennessee.

    ReplyDelete
  44. BTW, I'll run the live blog tomorrow. I might not be here next Sunday.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Michigan almost gave away the game on ND's final drive with prevent defense, though.

    /will definitely take the 2-0 start
    //will also take 502 total yards from Denard

    ReplyDelete
  46. "Mee-chigan hangs on." - Rece Davis

    ReplyDelete
  47. BTW, how about Cal stomping Colorado today?

    /Cal = Dick Tease. They'll always leave you with blue balls.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Brando does the Bob Ufer impersonation whenever he can, too, Jfein.

    /Ufer was before my time
    //honks horns

    ReplyDelete
  49. @ RJBO: Brando did it better than Rece just did.

    ReplyDelete
  50. "This is not New Mexico."-Mike Patrick

    ReplyDelete
  51. JFein, usually 'Brando' comes after 'better than' if they're in the same sentence.

    /you're right tonight

    ReplyDelete
  52. A touchdown to start this half would do Penn State a wonder of good.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ok, everything is set up for tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  54. If this is short, I would go for it.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Bolden gaining some confidence. Nice completion.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ugh. If Penn State played a perfect game, they could very well be ahead in this game. Alabama will be very lucky to go undefeated this season.

    ReplyDelete
  57. PSU defense bails the offense out of that mistake, but the offense needs to do something about it. They can't continue shooting themselves in the foot, especially as they have shown an ability to move the football against this Alabama defense.

    ReplyDelete
  58. @Justin: You need to sign up at EDSBS on SB Nation. S2N comments there regularly.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Zug with the Braylon Edwards hands on that wide open ball.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Brent on Trent Richardson: "Look at the size of those arms, Herbie. He's a man!" Get a room!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Penn State's been holding their own, but they need to score.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Brent: "At the age of three, you learn to say 'Roll Tide!,' and you take it from there."

    Is that all you learn in Alabama?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Of course Craig James saw that penalty coming.

    /Ass

    ReplyDelete
  64. I didn't think it was possible for someone else to make Mike Patrick likable. Craig James does that perfectly.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Trent Richardson didn't get in.

    /Ohio refs in that high school game against Jack Nicklaus' grandson'd

    ReplyDelete
  66. More important question: does Craig James make Mike Patrick seem more lucid?

    ReplyDelete
  67. A parallel to the Patrick-James combo would be the old duo of Hawk Harrelson & Wimpy (Tom Paciorek); Hawk never seemed as much of a homer when he did games with 'the Wimperoo' as he called him; now Hawk dominates whoever is the color analyst.

    /sorry to invoke that name on a college football Saturday
    //just flipped to WGN America

    ReplyDelete
  68. Thanks a lot RJBO. I made the mistake of flipping over to WGN America because we're at halftime of this game.

    ReplyDelete
  69. UVA-USC should be entertaining, at least in determining how loud Petros can scream.

    ReplyDelete
  70. The prospect of this Penn State team in the next few years is really great.

    ReplyDelete
  71. @RJBO: Plus he's calling the game with Barry Tompkins. Always an entertaining duo.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Glad to see them kick the FG and avoid the shutout. Good call, JoePa.

    ReplyDelete
  73. As Brent does the Ravens-Jets read again, anyone determine how many 'credits' did Brent put on the Ravens to win the Super Bowl?

    ReplyDelete
  74. Craig James: "Tennessee better come out of that locker room with their dauber ready to sting or they'll get stung themselves." ?

    ReplyDelete
  75. Good game, Bolden. He did himself proud tonight.

    ReplyDelete
  76. SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC! SEC!

    /they weren't chanting that in Vaught-Hemingway last Saturday

    ReplyDelete
  77. Who knew The Human League's "(Keep Feeling) Fascination" was so popular even today?

    /Kingsford Charcoal & Samsung's Fascinate Phone commercial'd

    ReplyDelete
  78. It's a loss, but it's a loss I can feel good about. Penn State played well, was competitive with the #1 team in the nation, and Robert Bolden played very well all things considered. Penn State is not making much noise in 2010, but this was a learning experience that they will take into the rest of this year and more importantly into next year where they might be able to contend for a national championship.

    ReplyDelete
  79. So much for Tennessee. 72 yarder for Lamichael James. Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Rece on the Stoops brother facing off: "If this had been back in the day, Mark would say 'Mom! Make him stop! Get Bob off of me!'"

    ReplyDelete
  81. Vlasic pickle by Simms returned for another Oregon touchdown. Back in the shower for the Vols.

    Penn State can still finish in the upper half of the Big Ten and possibly make it to a New Years Day bowl.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Nothing can finish off a wonderful day quite like Petros screaming at me for three hours.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Craig James on Berman's mustache: "I haven't see the mustache. He would have more hair on his lip than he did on his head."

    ReplyDelete
  84. @RJBO: I don't know if you saw that article, but Berman admitted almost becoming the SF Giants announcer.

    /Thank God that didn't happen

    ReplyDelete
  85. Keith, those things about who's up for announcing jobs work both ways.

    /Gus Johnson was the Saturday fill-in for the Tigers when Josh Lewin did national games for Fox in the late 1990s

    ReplyDelete
  86. Your right RJBO, because the Giants named Duane Kuiper the announcer that year.

    ReplyDelete
  87. I want to watch UVA-USC, but Max Scherzer and his different colored eyeballs is being interviewed in the Tigers Live postgame.

    ReplyDelete
  88. It's Oregon and everyone else in the Pac-10. What a 2nd-half performance.

    ReplyDelete
  89. There's so much hair gel in the Coliseum right now, BP should be forced to apologize.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Patrick: "Ohio State out-physicaled Miami." Bob Griese is in agreeance with this assessment.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Mike Patrick: "There's so much new media now, that if anything happens, there's no place to hide. Someone's gonna find out about it." The same applies for bad announcers...

    ReplyDelete
  92. As I doze off (read: pass out from too many Newcastles) to UVA-USC, this old Melchior post means this terrible show's theme song will send me to dreamland.

    /"...and in my opinionation, the sun is gonna surely shine"d
