College Football finally returns tonight! Yeah so the games really aren't that interesting and yeah we're going to have to listen to Craig James, but college football returns tonight. This calls for celebration. The fall is here! So leave whatever comments you have on the college games you're watching or leave comments on whatever NFL preseason game or MLB game you're watching. Have fun and don't troll.
Week 1 Must List
Announcing Schedule

ReplyDeleteThank goodness Football is back.
/leaves pants on
ReplyDeleteI actually went to high school with one of Temple's linebackers. That guy scared the poop out of me in physical education classes. When I nearly dropped a frisbee one time, he said if I would have dropped it he would have killed me. I think he meant it.
If I am being generous, I would say this crowd is 100 Villanova fans, 5 Temple fans.
ReplyDeletePacked house in Philly tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe funny/sad thing is this game gets hyped to death in the city as well.
ReplyDelete"He's like Desean Jackson."- Doug Graber
ReplyDeletePlease Doug. Never compare a Sun Belt player to Desean Jackson.
@ Keith: If you ever want to hear homerism, listen to the Eagles preseason announcers (Don Tollefson, Brian Baldinger, and Hugh Douglas). It's seriously awful.
ReplyDeleteHim and Brian Baldinger have a lot in common.
ReplyDelete/I remember the days when Baldy was Kenny Albert's partner on Fox.
//Fox Sports: so bad they had Brian Baldinger on their 3rd announce team.
"And the usually very accurate Alex Henery." - Don Tollefson.
ReplyDeleteHe's a rookie! And a Training Camp story this year has been his inconsistency.
"People at home are wondering if that is Michael Vick."-Some guy calling the W. Alabama vs N. Alabama game.
ReplyDeleteThe ESPN3.com feed keeps going dead during every commercial break.
ReplyDelete@Justin: Everyone at EDSBS is complaining about the same thing as well.
ReplyDeleteTemple is starting to put the hurt on Villanova. 14-0 in the 2nd.
ReplyDeleteNova is really bad or Al Golden really fucked up by leaving Temple.
ReplyDeleteTemple's O-line is significantly bigger than Villanova's D-line. Nova's not a bad team, but they do not match-up to bigger and better FBS Temple.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Al Golden really fucked up by leaving Temple.
5:45 left in the 1st quarter in New York. Andy Reid has burned 2 timeouts in the most meaningless of meaningless preseason games.
ReplyDelete/gotta get in midseason form in preseason
Villanova has a DB named Craig James. That's unfortunate.
ReplyDeleteFox going with the Albert/Moose/Goose style of announcing for their college games. I don't like this.
ReplyDeleteDifference between FBS vs. FCS really showing in Philly.
ReplyDelete/somewhere RJBO silently weeps
How did I miss Chuck Cecil saying "He got beat like a stepchild?"

When did Wisconsin start jiggling their keys? Michigan should sue.
ReplyDeleteApparently the Jets are charging $50 for general parking for this preseason game. That is not a typo. Fifty dollars for parking!
ReplyDelete@Justin: Giants charge 30 bucks for parking.
ReplyDeleteThe Eagles are absolutely ridiculous at running back right now. Eldra Buckley does not stand a chance at keeping his job.
ReplyDeleteThe derp is strong in the Memphis-Miss State game.
ReplyDeleteDrew Willy sacked himself. Seriously. That was just like Jim Everett against the 49ers in 1989.
ReplyDeleteApparently part of Greg McElroy's thumb was broken off tonight. Yeah that's gross.
ReplyDeleteI might have to watch the 49ers tonight. All these games are blowouts so far.
ReplyDeletePierce with another touchdown for Temple. Rinse, lather, repeat. 35-0 Owls.
ReplyDeleteIdaho starts the season with a halfback option and scores. Looks like I really will watch the Niners tonight.
ReplyDelete/I've barely watched them in the preseason.
Villanova is not exactly making a resounding statement to the Big East tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis is getting uglier and uglier at the Linc.
ReplyDeleteVince Young got banged up. Mike Kafka got banged up. So now Jason Avant is going to play quarterback.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Kafka is back in there. Thankfully.
ReplyDeleteWisconsin is easily going to put 50 on the Runnin' Rebs
ReplyDeleteIt's a final at the Linc. Temple 42, Villanova 7.
ReplyDeleteI always forget that most of the games on this Thursday are blowouts. I'm always excited for the start of the season and then all the games are usually over by halftime.
ReplyDeleteDon Tollefson and Brian Baldinger do not stop talking they just go back and forth and on and on and on until you just want to throw something at your TV screen and say take a breath because all they do is talk and they never stop and they are not even talking about the game anymore because the game is no longer relevant but they still got to talk so they are talking about whatever they want to talk about and it's really annoying and I want it to end soon.
ReplyDeleteEagles win 24-14.
