Lost in all the Deion talk is that his son is also a really good QB. These throws he's making are just dimes.

I didn't think he would be this good. he is legit

Big XII “defense” - an annual tradition

 

[Jayrod]

I don't get to sit and watch many college games during the year, but this is a GREAT game.

 

[heckmanm]

Still 7 minutes left. This could end up 62-59 and I wouldn’t be shocked

 

[Capella]

Crazy the game of the year is the first game of the year (week 0 sucks and doesn’t count)

 

[Uruk-Hai]

Fresno scored with under a minute left to go up 4 on Purdue

 

[whoknew]

Fresno State up 4 on Purdue with 45 seconds left.

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

UM wins 30-3. Didn’t cover the spread at home. They are good at skilled positions on O and back 7 on D. Lines on both sides aren’t nearly as good as last year. Their D had 0 sacks and 4 TFLs Vs ECU.

 

[massraider]

Will I be able to stream this on ESPN+ later?

 

[Orange&Blue]

omg... edwards speed is insane

 

[Osaurus]

HFS!!! This game is nuts

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Wild…lol

 

[Uruk-Hai]

WTF

 

[Capella]

Will I be able to stream this on ESPN+ later?

I don’t think fox will allow that.

 

[mr. furley]

Colorado winning the next 3 national titles based on week 1 hype alone

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Colorado gonna destroy Nebraska by 40+ next week

 

[Osaurus]

CU about to match their number of wins from last season

 

[massraider]

This Edwards kid is a true freshman Prime swiped from Notre Dame, and he looks like he's ready for The Show.

 

[Jayrod]

Greatest coaching debut in NCAA history?

 

[Capella]

At least we will be spared from watching TCU in the title game again.

 

[timschochet]

Hype is going to be enormous now.

 

[massraider]

Hype is going to be enormous now.

I hope this hype doesn't go to Deion's head. he might start thinking he's special.

 

[whoknew]

The YouTube multi view is not too shabby.

James Madison plays Bucknell today. The O/U is 52. JMU is favored by 46.5

I remember when offshore books used to get beat on these type of games. Bettors were doing same game parleys on the chalk/over and dog/under. Last I checked they don't accept those bets anymore.

 

[The Commish]

Thought with all the new deals, Daniels might finally get put out to pasture.....oh well.

 

[dickey moe]

Man I can't imagine being a Nebraska fan these last few years. I do think they are a better team than Minnessota but they found a way to lose again.

Nebraska has now lost 20 of its last 24 games decided by single-digits.


That doesn’t even seem possible.

Makes me wonder at what point did the coaches stop saying, "Way to keep it close, boys!"

 

[The Commish]

The YouTube multi view is not too shabby.

First year on the service....they control what four games right? I can't create my own can I?

 

[Jayded]

Targeting penalty needs to be reviewed for standard. It’s so inconsistently applied and it’s a joke to say they care about player safety with how it is and isn’t applied.

It doesn't look like you can make your own. But they have a lot of suggestions. But I agree - it'd be nice to make your own.

I dont know why I didn't move from xfinity sooner....i'm a moron.

I went to photograph my alma mater Grove City College today. They beat their rival Westminster 17-7 to break a 2 game losing streak against the Titans.

What is your issue? A lot of people just don't understand the rule definitions.

There are 2 types of targeting:

1. Forcible contact with the crown of the helmet. (rule 9-1-3) Doesn't matter who is being hit or where. This rule is to protect the person doing the hitting.
2. Forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player. This is to protect the person getting hit.

The two areas of confusion are what a "defenseless" player is and isn't and what "forcible contact" is. Defenseless player has a long list of definitions, but forcible contact is subjective.

My issue would be the inconsistency of when it’s called and not called.

Because the ND kick returner got wiped out with a helmet hit and no call, then an ND player got ejected for an inadvertent helmet hit on a tackle to a runner

Coach Prime Kills Me

I have no doubt that the writers at this press conference are thrilled that Coach Prime read all their stuff, and wants to discuss it with them right now.

I'm not quite sure all the bolts are tight and the track has been checked for cracks, but this is gonna be a hell of a ride for as long as it lasts.

 

[facook]

Deion was one of the great college football players ever, a legendary nfl player who played both sides of the ball (one of the best players ever imo), a relatively awesome baseball player, did tv pretty well for a decade and now appears to be a very good head coach.

Has to be one of the most impressive sports figures ever.

Plus pretty much set the standard for td celebration dancing.

Friggin gorgeous.

These refs in the Middle Tennessee vs Alabama game have a bright future in the NFL. Terrible targeting call on the punt return.

:howling at the moon:

 

[Osaurus]

Anyone know why the Wyoming/Texas Tech game has been delayed over half an hour?

The 47-yard TD throw by Milroe was pretty, pretty, good. Like, ######' awesome.

This. But I also think the one they called on ND was targeting as well. A few years ago I went to ND at Texas and Torii Hunter Jr got textbook targeted, concussed, and nothing. He was not the same player after either but the officials and conferences couldn’t care less.

Seeing that, admittedly seeing most examples watching my own team, and then hearing them say they care about players is a joke.

 

[Osaurus]

Wyoming is at least competitive against Texas Tech. Altitude with the assist

 

[CletiusMaximus]

At least we will be spared from watching TCU in the title game again.

what was the qualifications?

 

[timschochet]

It didn’t take Dante Moore very long to show that he should be the starter at UCLA…just leave him in Chip.

Wyoming water girl popping a zit was a shot I didn’t need.
