August 8, 20178 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 8, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) Rosen's thoughts here were taken completely out of context. People need to read the entire article of what he said. I thought the exact same thing. Alabama though is handing out money left and right to smart kids from the north. Not sure where the money it is coming from exactly but there is an academic pipeline from Chicago to Tuscaloosa.

August 8, 20178 yr Rosen had a lot of great points, unfortunate people latched onto the headline and not the meat, but reporters are lazy.
August 23, 20178 yr It sounds like something from the Onion, but it's actually true. ESPN has pulled the planned PBP announcer from a Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. WTH https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2...n-virginia-game
August 25, 20178 yr In other insane stories of "PC gone too far", Illinois has banned their famous war chant song to "promote inclusiveness". Lolwat
August 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) hey football is almost here It is here now.
August 27, 20178 yr Some season predictions: Heisman finalists: Barkley RB, Darnold QB, Mayfield QB CFP: USC, Florida St, Ohio St, Oklahoma (yes, no Alabama. Too many tough games- FSU, TENN, @ MISS ST, @ AUB, MISS) FSU beats OSU to win it all Edited August 27, 20178 yr by soxfan49
August 28, 20178 yr QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Aug 27, 2017 -> 06:29 PM) Going to the Iowa/PSU game. Any must eats in iowa City? Beer, lots of beer./ My favorite food there was the gyro cart right outside the bars. Then stay up until tailgate.
August 29, 20178 yr Barstool SportsVerified account @barstoolsports 3h3 hours ago Florida won't announce their starting QB vs. Michigan so Harbaugh released a roster with no current players on it https://bars.tl/Vu6u/2UAEShOs0F
August 29, 20178 yr Thursday night home opener for Sparky. Not sure what to expect from this team this year. Graham needs to be on a short leash tho...
August 31, 20178 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) Hawkeye football made Ed Cunningham quit ESPN Yeah, that was kind of weird. Beathard was a typical immobile QB with his injury. It wasn't like he was playing with a concussion. Seems a little extreme thwt would be the final straw and make him walk away from a pretty sweet gig. I always liked his work. But to me, it does seem that football isn't as highly anticipated this year as it has in the past. Maybe all the brain injuries are starting to turn people off.

August 31, 20178 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 30, 2017 -> 11:14 PM) I'm super pumped to travel to Iowa city this year It's the third or fourth loudest stadium I've ever been to. Their fans are mouth breathers, but they are loud and passionate. They can't help that they made a bad life-choice. I've been to a number of college football stadiums (about 25), probably would rank them (of the ones worth a crap): 1. Memorial Stadium (Nebraska) - loudest place I've ever been for a game 2. Kyle Field (Texas A&M) - loudest place I've ever been for a game that was out of hand 3. Gaylord Memorial Stadium (Oklahoma) - one of the places where it really feels big time, especially at night 4. Kinnick Stadium (Iowa) - cool place to see a game, especially at night 5. DKR-Texas Memorial (Texas) - sheer size is something else, fans aren't the greatest Other places I've been: Dix Stadium (Kent State) - no fan turnout Arrowhead (Kansas State) - not a good place for a college game Memorial Stadium (Kansas) - decrepit Faurot Field (Missouri) - haven't been here in a while, stadium was nice, nothing special Sun Devil Stadium (Insight Bowl) - neat place, would think it would be rocking for a big ASU home game Folsom Field (Colorado) - scenery is unbeatable, fans are....different. Jack Trice Stadium (Iowa State) - closed in end zone really improved the look Rentschler Field (UCONN) - fans are a non entitiy Floyd Casey Stadium (Baylor) - stadium was falling apart, fans were surprising loud (during RG3) Jones AT&T Stadium (Texas Tech) - neat stadium that fits in its surroundings Bill Snyder Memorial Stadium (Kansas State) - stadium is sort of piecemeal, improvements on the north end really tie it together Yankee Stadium (Pinstripe Bowl) - really cool for a one off game Amon G Carter Stadium (TCU) - all sorts of money poured into the stadium, maybe they should pay fans to show up because they show up the worst Boone Pickens Stadium (Oklahoma State) - much like TCU with new money, unique with GIA right there, fans are good people Liberty Bowl (Liberty Bowl - Memphis) - crappy neighborhood, dated stadium Chapman Stadium (Tulsa) - campus right nearby is cool looking, still a neat old feel Milan Puskar Stadium (West Virginia) - never been there with a good fan turnout, stadium starting to show age Glass Bowl (Toledo) - crappy neighborhood, decent sized MAC stadium with a dated feel McClane Stadium (Baylor) - all the bells and whistles, lets see if they can fix it up this year when they lose
September 1, 20178 yr Author 3 hours and still in the 3rd quarter. Early reminder how ridiculously long CFB games take
September 1, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 31, 2017 -> 11:03 PM) 3 hours and still in the 3rd quarter. Early reminder how ridiculously long CFB games take I lost interest. Game was dragging.

First games are weird. I admire the teams that schedule big games for their first, but I think everyone should get a tune up game.
