WMU @ ^16^Michigan

Halftime: Michigan is, uhhhh, not looking amazing. I have family that went to both schools, so I guess if Western pulls off an upset it's not the end of the world for me, but it sure would feel weird...

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 6 pts · 11d

WTF IS GOING ON?!

As a Michigan fan, I feel weirdly upset they won. Refs absolutely stole that win from WMU

That second on the clock will be heavily scrutinized

anhydrous@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 11d

idk how they added 1 second to allow that last play.

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 4 pts · 11d (1 reply)

After another quarter, I am thoroughly disgusted with this game. Michigan's offense is anemic and its defense isn't much better, but worst of all are their uniforms. Never go full banana

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11d

I for one like full lemon meringue pie

anhydrous@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11d

holy shit!

This is hilarious

I suspect there's a lot of Buckeye fans on the edge of their seats right now

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11d

Wow, straight up out physical-ing Michigan

^25^Clemson @ ^8^LSU

2nd play of the game is an INT, lol

anhydrous@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11d

Tigers getting their asses handed to them, so far. For some reason, I was anticipating a much closer game.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11d

Fuck, if I have to deal with Kiffin hype all season I'm gonna lose it

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 11d

I feel such strange ways about this game. Normally I would love lsu showing sec dominance. But I hate kiffin and the nonsense he's been pulling the past few weeks enough to make me change my rooting interests

Oregon struggling against Boise State as is tradition

The Pac 12 team clearly benefitting from home field advantage when a Big 10 team has to play them on the west coast

Kent State @ SCAR

So I haven't been following USC in the off season. What level of blood pressure control medicine do I need to get to survive the season?

Also GAME!

Edit: it has been 281 days since the defence allowed a point.

"Over hydrated and decided to get rid of a little of his ballast."

🤮

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11d

Spreading that hydration around lol

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 11d (1 reply)

OL already looks better.

By that I mean they held up once.

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 11d

aaaaaaaaand, he got sacked.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 12d (2 replies)

COCKS!

I'm Hopeful for scar this year. Last year was way off and I truly think that was an outlier

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 11d

As a lifetime Gamecock fan, I expect the worst every year. And most years, I'm not disappointed 🤪

Dum Spiro Spero, baby!

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 11d

Another penalty. Messy messy messy.

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 11d

TD! More Sandstorm!

Having to cheat just to beat Western Michigan is pathetic

Colorado @ GT

Trying to scout our first couple of opponents, this seems like the only one that would actually be competitve

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 13d (1 reply)

GT should not be kicking a field goal to go up by 6 with CO already out of time outs. A td and (likely successful) pat from CO still wins it and if you don't convert or get a td you're looking at better field position than your average kickoff

Edit: fucking told you. My guess is that GT was trying to avoid an OT situation since that likely goes CO's way

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 13d

Ok y'all, go watch the last quarter of this one

anhydrous@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 12d (1 reply)

I missed this game... but am pretty surprised at the result. How did Little Mendoza + Haynes lose to Hunter-less-CU?

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 12d

Rain delayed slopfest with colorado just winning los all night. Jackets couldn't stop the run or run themselves. But couldnt hold on to the ball. Little Mendoza actually looked very composed

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 13d

Glad to see this will be a controversy free game

Edit: remember, the whistle doesn't actually mean anything, the refs can declare the play dead whenever they want - signed: A Vol that remembers

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 12d

I watched the highlights. Both teams looked dreadful.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 13d

Gotta love a home team kick return

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 13d

For those of you keeping track at home that is 2 consecutive PATs with penalties against GT, 2 on defense and one on offense

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 13d

And a blocked game tying field goal, what a game

wjrii@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 11d (3 replies)

FAU @ UF

Gators looking efficient and competent in the early going. Given that it probably took a non-negligible percentage of the state’s GDP to keep Jadan Baugh, this is a bit of a relief.

wjrii@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11d (2 replies)

Maybe some questions on defense, but Florida talking care of business.

Also, before the game is over, I want to point out that with the specific helmet shells that many of the FAU players are wearing, their retro logo looks like it’s even more retro, an old-timey greater Florida where Biloxi and Mobile are part of the Panhandle.

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11d (1 reply)

The drunk moms at my bar were celebrating way too much for going up on FAU as y'all were seperating and I laughed at them

wjrii@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 11d

NGL, it was nice to see the offense doing some things, but relief was my main emotion, as well as curiosity because as I’ve mentioned, I just don’t pay attention to rosters during the offseason anymore. Apparently Georgia Tech is our ā€œpick from the hatā€ rotating farm club this year. Yes, I know it’s because that’s where the OC came from, but CFB’s vibes are still very weird these days.

Finally, the fact that we’ve got a normally structured coaching staff is also the sort of thing you couldn’t miss until it was gone.

1hitsong@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 11d

Georgia let Tennessee State score?

How embarrassing šŸ˜†

Fleck gonna be replacing somebody later this year, book it

Props UMass tho

Did not forsee Umass laying the early beatdown

Poor Rutgers

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 13d

They invented football just to break UMass's 16 game losing streak 150 years later

TX State @ ^1^Texas

I just looked at the community poll to find out Texas's ranking - are y'all trying to curse us with the #1 ranking? I guess I need to vote in the next one to bring the horns down a bit

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 11d

Lol, how do you miss a 24yd FG? I'm guessing TX State will be going for it on 4th a little more here on out

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 13d

Of course the one time I want to watch West Georgia it's stuck in weather delay

Anybody watching Toledo @ Mich St? Not on at my bar

ToasterOverlord@fanaticus.social · 2 pts · 11d

I did starting in the 2nd quarter once I realized Sparty might lose. In the end they pulled out a win but they looked evenly matched with Toledo the whole time

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 11d

Did not get to watch our first game of the season, but we did no cover the spread... uh oh

Montagge@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 11d

Not to react too strongly to week one, but if Oregon is the #2 team in the country this year is going to be rough

g0d0fm15ch13f@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 12d

Who has less of a homefield advantage, USC (CA) or Miami (FL)
