Bored 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Hawaii wasn't going anywhere this year anyways as they were picked to finish 4th in the WAC. And another epic fail by the Waanstache. There goes any job security he earned from the West Virginia win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Late to the party, but hooray to the VT upset! I saw a bit in passing earlier while I was out, and Tech was up comfortably. Pity I missed the game, but the thing I like about college ball is that I'll see plenty more like it, and better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Pitt was TERRIBLE in the second half. Just terrible. They read off their possession in the half just now: Punt, Punt, Turnover (that would have been a TD had they not blown the whistle incorrectly), Tunover, Turnover on downs, Turnover. Yeesh.

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Weird watching Michigan run an offense like this. They also got lucky as hell twice on that drive. Bastards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Urban Warfare 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 I wasn't buying the Pitt hype but at the same time I wasn't expecting them to go out and lay an egg in the first week. Pretty solid opening game for Florida. Good to see that they showed that even without Harvin and Spikes they still have a nice stable of playmakers on both sides of the ball.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Big boo to the VT upset, as I've become a VT fan by proxy due to Mrs Slayer and her family, and I'm sure I'll hear about this when she finishes watching the DVR (as we were out earlier) Who's that Troy Palmolive lookalike for Utah?

Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Is it me or is that Michigan kicker a big dude? Whoa. Would've been good from 55 or so. That's some leg. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted August 30, 2008 That's K.C. Lopata, he's 6'2", 233 lbs. Maybe big for a kicker, but not huge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted August 30, 2008 I'm skeptical as to how well this gimmicky spread bullshit is going to work in the Big Ten.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Fact is Michigan just doesn't have the personnel to run the spread right now. They are very lucky this game hasn't gotten out of hand (yet) as this has been total domination by the Utes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tzar Lysergic Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Good point with the personnel. Even then..man, I don't know. Big Ten ball seems predicated on pro-style play with college kids. Edit: that better not be fuckin' grounding. HE WAS OUTSIDE OF THE GODDAMN POCKET! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 I was baffled as to why Pitt was even ranked. It had to be some sort of residual from the WVU game last year. There's always some amount of hype over Pitt's recruits, and then of course Wannstedt screws it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Where was this USC offense last season? They were clicking on all cyclinders. I don't know what the game was more indicative of, that the USC offense is here or that the UVA defense is not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2008 Bobby Reid and Texas Southern are playing on ESPNU at 10:30 PM ET for those interested (and who get the channel). They're going up against Prarie View A&M. I also admit that I'm a huge, huge fan of ESPNU showing more FCS games this year too (Saw an ad for a game featuring Delaware State for next Thursday). Score of Note: Western Illinois leading Arkansas 3-0 with 12:50 in the 2nd. Gotta salvage pride somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Where was this USC offense last season? They were clicking on all cyclinders. I don't know what the game was more indicative of, that the USC offense is here or that the UVA defense is not. Both. Gotta take into account that the USC receivers who dropped so many passes last year picked up that extra year of experience. Tight end may be an offensive weakness, otherwise, there aren't any. This team is ready to win it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maztinho 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 I missed the Utah vs Michigan game, but I found a RollBamaRoll post board while searching it out, some of the comments on it are hilarious. im just not a fan of them being called the Utes… There are some that are not ok But, like the Chippewa with CMU and the (largely tribal) UNC-Pembroke Indians, the Utes have been endorsed by the Ute tribe. Quite unlike the exterminated Illini or the ND Fightin’ Sioux. shit man i didn’t even know they were a indian tribe….hell i feel really stupid right now. Usuallly i know about this stuff. I thought Utes was just short for Utah…...damn im an idiot. I will crawl back into my hole they call ignorance!! Made my day just reading some fan in Alabama's critique of Ute Football.

MFer 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2008 Michigan needs a QB bad...of course Pryor could've came in and started right away but whatever. I'm actually more disappointed that the defense gave up as much as it did considering they had a decent amount of experience on that side of the ball (although they did play very well in the 2nd half). Michigan's offense is definitely gonna be a work in progress this season (their RB's and WR's look promising at least). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The TSU / PV game is more than likely being shown since its the annual Labor Day Classic and that's a pretty big game for the two of 'em and sort of a tradition here in Houston. If I had the money I was going to get tickets..but like most fans, probably leave after half-time since most people only go to see the bands and all that..
