That's % of OOC games that are against D1 opponents. Its late so my math could be wrong.

Hey guys what did I miss last Saturday?


I had a great time at the New Mexico v. Texas game, but had no idea my friend who I was staying with wouldn't have internet at his new place yet. I don't know how he lives without it!

So OSUw is the real deal while OSUs kinda sucks.

Looks like the Pac-12 had the best weekend going by conferences. Almost makes up for the disasters they had on week 1

edit2: I think PSU may get their first win this week. If they somehow lose, bluemax, you need to make the thread title "PSU football: winless since 1997".

Hey guys what did I miss last Saturday?

The complete and utter evisceration of Penn State.

Thank God it's still early cause I'm already bored.

That's more like it.

Look at this Pac-10 Bias in the OP and thread title! Blue must work for ESPN, no talk about arkansas!

Typical media.

I'm hoping for a John L. Smith GIF-of-the-ages this coming weekend.

[bucknuticus]

The Badgers have fired their O-Line coach.

 

[Limedust]

Richardson had a bad game, too, but he did run over a mothafucka.

Huh?

GODDAMN!

 

[Jamesways]

The Badgers have fired their O-Line coach.

Good.

http://badgerofhonor.com/2012/09/10...ve-line-coach-mike-markuson-after-upset-loss/

Markuson is a highly respected coach but it seems there were communication issues between him and the players. It also seems that Markuson’s schematic tweaks were causing problems for some of the guys. Clearly, things were not working correctly. New offensive line coach Bart Miller worked under former o-line coach Bob Bostad, who is now in Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers, and is expected to re-insert the scheme used the past few years when the Badgers totally dominated people up front.

 

[bucknuticus]

I know you all are super excited to learn how our scarlet and grey out was. Well a lot better than I expected, here's a pic I took. And if you look closely you can see golden eye in the top right!

 

[Garryk]

Guys, when I took a piss on Sunday morning an ice cube came out. Not only was it extremely painful, but toilet water splashed all over me as well.

This is my analogy for Arkansas footbaw.

 

[LosDaddie]

FSU's season finally starts this week versus CFB juggernaut WAKE FOREST, the winner of 4 of the last 6 meetings.

 

[BertramCooper]

Yeah, it was about what I expected.

The thing about gray is that it instantly gets washed out when anyone wears red. So you have to have every single person in that area wear gray or else it doesn't work.

It looked better in real life than in this pic. But I was surprised they pulled it off, not shown in the pic is another scarlet section to the left and another grey section to the right, the entire south stands were were red. Maybe Golden has a pic he took and we can get the opposite perspective.

You'd think they could, at the very least, stick them on straight.

Just a boring week of footbaw, and spent most of it playing Planetside.
Trying to figure out the reason Cyan won. Think he might have used some EPO, some blood doping. Perhaps some fake Hot Piss.

Because whatever you do, I don't think you'll be able to claim 10 Alma Mater's like mre. There can be only one.

Looks like I need to step up my game. I need to take lessons from you on how to spam this thread.

If I got stupid reception on campus on gamedays I would post a lot more. I usually cant post until 5 or so if its a noon kickoff.

Nah. I'm using my dad's alma mater.

Are you trying to compete with mre's multiple loyalties? Because whatever you do, I don't think you'll be able to claim 10 Alma Mater's like him.

Try pithy replies to any and all subjects. It's done me and Jazz wonders.

I'd have more Saturday night, but I stopped watching UGA/Mizz and missed out on La Monroe. Pity.

Assuming you're talking about the Cy-Hawk trophy, Iowa Corn is still working that whole thing out. Did you see the nightmare last year with it? They got the gig to sponsor the series and re-do the trophy.

Here's the story: http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/6889208/controversial-cy-hawk-trophy-replaced

So they initially went from this old thing...

to this STUPID thing...

There was such an uproar by everyone that they decided to overhaul it again. It's much better now, but the final quality isn't there yet.

slowing getting back into form. Another away game this week is a blessing with wedding planning and posting on GAF (when I should be working on the wedding).

Yes.

It will truly be the world's greatest party.

ND Hate Week! I don't think MSU has ever had two night games as the first two home games before. I'm going up to East Lansing this weekend after a job interview in the most vile city of all, Ann Arbor.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

BYU vs Utah this week. Utah is officially the least cordial place on earth for the next few days. I'd issue a travel advisory warning if I had the authority to do so.

Either way, GO BYU!

 

[Mac the KNife]

The UGA/Mizz game finally got interesting at the end of the 3rd quarter/beginning of the 4th. I missed the Arky debacle too.

Nah. I'm using my dad's alma mater.

We're gonna need a name. Can't have you switching allegiances like a Patriots fan.

Yes.

If there aren't at least 3 NCAA investigations after this weekend, I am going to call it a failure.

Or at least just a rash of photos on deadspin of players passed out in clubs and strip joints.
