2025 College Football Thread: entire nation learns at the same time that Arch isn’t the son of the good Mannings (17 Viewers)

[Sparky Polastri]

Why is Herbstreit not allowed in the Michigan stadium? I thought his kid was on the team.

Unless there's a new wrinkle in this he's allowed in, everyone is, even Urban. This is oSU* showing everyone how tough they are by dropping their "hammer" on Portnoy.

There aren't enough laughing emojis for this maneuver.

 

[Don Quixote]

Ohio State banning Portnoy from coming into the stadium for Big Noon Kickoff. Is this because he's a Michigan guy or something else? Weird.

I don’t think OSU decision. I’m guessing Fox decision and they are leaking to stir up controversy to try to gin up ratings.

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 Ryan Day's fingerprints all over it.

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.

OSU AD is saying that it was a Fox decision: https://x.com/rossdellenger/status/1960315503244702158?s=61&t=H_x9QHHtveqmaMK5HnP2AA

Yeah, i meant pre game too, but in the world we find ourselves living in who knows what's true.

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.

The whole thing is definitely petty but Portnoy sucks and I don't care about either team so I find it all pretty hilarious shtick.

As a fan of one side it's why the rivalry is what it is. The two most unlikable parts with Fox thrown in going head to head to head for the title is fantastic going into the weekend.

I'm not entirely sure what's going on with this and who's ultimately to blame, but Texas has to appreciate the distraction the last couple weeks have created for their opposition this weekend.

Bo and Woody are either rolling in their graves or appreciating the passion. I'm not sure which.

I can’t stand the guy but it is an awful look for Day (and the Buckeyes) whether he had anything to do with it or not. No real reason given that I can see so it’s probably just being petty. Day can’t seem to get out of his own way when it comes to UM.

So it looks like I spoke too soon. There is no banning of Portnoy from the Shoe by Ohio State. Apparently, Fox is not having him at the table and therefore does not have him in the stadium. A reporter asked Ohio State AD if they had banned Portnoy and he said they had not banned anyone.

Glad Ohio State and Day had nothing to do with this.

 

[General Malaise]

Why would Fox not want their splashy new Stephen A. Bayless on their set? That makes zero sense.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Talking points on this seem to be taking a while to formulate. Makes no sense not to have him on the set for Fox. Does anyone even watch this though?

This whole thing seems to be all Portnoy. I don't think he was ever hired as a full time analyst with a consistent presence at the main desk. Nobody loves to crap on ohio more than me, but Portnoy sucks and this is right in his wheelhouse. Nice troll job though

Most of what he says there is true in regard to oSU*. Certainly in their MO to be that petty and weak. Did they really ban him? Who knows. It's been an interesting and fun few weeks

Can't say for sure. We know two things for certain:

1. It's totally on brand for Day.
2. The only people saying it isn't true are the OSU people. Well, except for the OSU guy who started it.

Alright, I like your argument. Day is unquestionably a . And if we're relying on he said she said we know oSU* is probably full of ****. You've won me over. Just another soft hammer swing and a miss.

Yeah. Announcers were talking Florida and the U should watch out for USF. I don't think that’s what happened. Boise State lost most of their offense in the offseason

Wyoming is 1-0. Nice to see them travel east and not have to be a sacrificial lamb/tuneup for a Power 5 team.

Say goodbye to Nebraska Football. They just pissed off the Swifties.

It was a good run. Not lately, but it was a good run for a while.

I was a little annoyed when UC moved that home game to Indy. But I would have easily made that trip. I hope the extra few million to move it to KC was worth that loss. Also flummoxed about debuting those new all-red jerseys against a red/white team that was going to be basically on the road playing in a sea of red.

Yeah, that was a very curious uniform selection. Why not open up with the sleek black unis? Those are sharp.

69 passing yards. Yowsers.

Well, this kinda settles the argument on whether or not the banning was true or not. If they'll do this, they'll certainly ban the loud mouth.

College teams should try actually wearing school colors once in a while. Baylor looks like they are wearing prison uniforms tonight. Nothing resembling Baylor.

 

[kupcho1]

Some great games this weekend, but the real questions are (1) has Notre Dame signed anyone recently and (2) who has/hasn't been precluded from attending Texas @ Ohio State?

 

[kupcho1]

I thought Tarleton was a brand of cigarettes, but they may have just beaten Army.

Pretty sure it was one of the only colleges in the US that offered a degree in Rodeo.

GT was clearly the better team, IMO, but still a hat tip to Deion for his clock management there.

Unlv is playing at Sam Houston State and it looks like a Covid era crowd. Entire sections completely empty. It’s kind of weird actually. Like they have these nice fancy seats right off the field and nobody is in them. It’s week 1! How do programs like this survive?

Don't know anything about SH but they just moved up from FCS recently. Maybe they need to move back down.

5:30 afternoon weekday game in the August Florida heat. I kinda get that one.

USF is building a new stadium on campus. No idea why really, but where they play now at Raymond James is a full 30 minutes from campus. But they really don’t have the money to fund it.

Looks like they spent some money on that stadium and I don’t know why. But that is in Texas right? Friday night football huge there I guess idk. Should be able to outdraw high schools.

I fully approve this direction. Take the money from the Liberal Arts programs if necessary, but college football should be played on or very, very, very near campus. Having to truck 30 minutes or more to a game is terrible and nowhere near what the college experience (w/r/t football) should be.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

I can't watch GT football. Every time I turn them on (which I admit is not a lot, but every time...) their QB looks like he's one play away from dying on the field. Kid is a warrior.

King is a tough kid and they run him a lot. I do sometimes wonder if he exaggerates a little almost as a decoy. But he’s been a little injury prone during his career.

Similar situation with UCLA and the Rose Bowl.

Idk about didn't want. More like Venables had a terrible OC, all the OL and WRs got injured, they couldn't pick a QB, everything on offense sucked, and Arnold was like get me TFO this place (rightly so!). OU did him very poorly.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Happy college football Saturday! The world feels right again.

My wife is going to a wedding at 1 to make it even better.

#1 vs #3 to kick off the day, does it get any better then this? Life is good.
