I totally agree, but USF football sucks, it’s in a Walmart conference and nobody here really cares. I guess some alumni do.
I am glad they’re getting out of the Bucs stadium though. It was tearing the grass up by November.

Oh yeah and I don't know where you reside but it's a sunny 70 degree day. Not too hot, not too cold. Sure is a beautiful day to grill some shrimp, enjoy some drinks with friends/family, watch some football and cruise the lake.

I really wish Portnoy was a fan of any other college football team.Yeah, i meant pre game too, but in the world we find ourselves living in who knows what's true.Not ratings for the game, but for the pre-game show. They are trying to kick off some redesigned kickoff show against Corso’s last College GameDay.If it was oSU* vs Bowling Green maybe, but vs Texas in their opening game of the year? I have my doubts Fox would need to drum up ratings like this. This has RyanDay's fingerprints all over it.

Portnoy is awful and between himself, oSU*, and Fox that's quite a line-up of potential suspects.
I'm just glad college is back and Saturday can't come soon enough. The sideshow has been fun and all, but time for the main event.

National Title game with a Noon kickoff on a Saturday
I don't watch wall to wall college football so I can enjoy my Sundays without interruptions but...
Yeah you bet your *** I'm tuning in for this one.
I don't have a dollar bet either way, just want to see a good game played
Well I'm pulling a little for Manning and then I hate Ohio State, so there's that

Da UP. 72 and not a cloud in the sky. Got in a mid morning bike ride so I feel less guilty sitting inside and watching TV allday.

If the OSU secondary continues to show up soft like the last few years, they lose this game. Downs helped some last year, but those corners need to be way better.

LFG!!!!!
Very excited to see Manning be the man in a monster game like this. So much talk, so much hype all leads to this.

Not a great play call but I love the aggression Sark shows.

Other than that one long run Ohio State controlled the LOS on that drive.

Feeling like the cupcake games at the start of the season are a good thing to get the cobwebs out. Looking like two teams that haven’t played in 8-9 months.

Lets GOOOOOO LIU vs Florida 
Florida -45.5......pffft
we're gonna roll them!(full disclosure, I'm a LIU alumni and may daughter goes there now. She dances for the college and they perform at home games. I've watched a lot of LIU football and I think a good varsity squad could outplay them lol)

He ain't done anything yet!
I have no issue with excitement about the kid, but according to draft media, he is the #1 guy if he came out. With 90 career passes or something. That makes no sense. And it's cause of his name.

That's the deal with the play calling anyhow.

That was either a terrible route or a terrible throw. Couldn't tell if it was supposed to be a corner or an out. Looked almost like an out but the cut was so lazy and telegraphed that it led the DB right into it, and the WR drifted too far upfield which is a big no-no on that route. If it was a corner then Arch didn't seem to know as he way underthrew it for that route.
The Longtime Lurker
Footballguy
Ok, the Manning hype was nonsense. He looks terrible. Showing zero accuracy or touch. Under throws, just gunning it at dudes, maybe high, maybe low, maybe a trip to the hospital with some of those. Hell of a job building the brand the last few years, but what is this?

Neither offense is impressing, but in fairness, these are two really really good defenses up against inexperienced QBs starting their first games.
Sparky Polastri

Stick to running the ball and screen passes Texas. You saw success until the terrible QB run call at the end of the drive.
