I don't believe he was talking out of his mouth when he made those comments.

LSU’s performance was extremely underwhelming due to the fact that Clemson’s defense doesn’t come close to what they were when they were winning championships. They get Florida in a couple of weeks at home and I think the Gators will knock them off. The SEC’s worst nightmare is ending up with a two or three loss conference champion like the ACC last season. There is a decent possibility of that happening

Miami has great talent. They will probably win this game. However, that special teams screw-up is something that happens to Mario’s teams more than it should.

Gundy is pretty big on 2nd chances.

His dad was the backup QB for the 1988 OSAA state football champion Lakeridge Pacers (Lake Oswego). He backed up Mike Miadich who went on to play baseball at Notre Dame. Doug went on to earn a scholarship to the university of Idaho and was eventually drafted by the Saints. However, he only lasted a few seasons in the NFL.

I’m the opposite of the above posters. I absolutely love Gus Johnson’s crescendo. He’s so much better than the ESPN crowd. Everybody else is extremely dull.

I hope Nico Iamaleava invests well because he tanked his draft status by going to UCLA. Utah will win the Big 12 if they keep playing like they did. Could this be Whittingham’s final season? Look for the ESPN hype machine to rev back up after Texas and Bama get their first wins. They just can’t help themselves. Florida's defense held a scrub team to 80 yards total offense. That’s hard to do against any team. They’ll give SEC teams fits this season. FSU’s matchup with Miami on October 4th just got a lot more interesting. The Bama loss should push College Gameday to State College, PA on September 27th if OBD and Penn State remain undefeated. However, I’m not holding my breath. Once again, ESPN just can’t help themselves.

I don’t know if this will be a weekly thing, but some of these are just too good. Pleas add more as you see fit.

I agree that Novo should’ve gotten more than a series. He is a redshirt Sophomore and will likely transfer if Dante comes back next year.

It looks like ESPN will have no other option than to vigorously hype FSU as favorites for the national championship.

I’m actually pulling for the son of the Lakeridge Pacer who’s under center for LSU.

I think the guy who got benched by Chip Kelly played pretty good.

Oregon scored on every meaningful possession against a top 5 FCS team. That doesn’t happen too often. I don’t care how good you are or how bad they are. So far, so good.

Exiting the Big12, bad HC hires and bad recruiting post-Solich did them in. If you hold onto a bad coach and bad recruiter for too long the results can bury a program for a long time. That’s why getting rid of Helfrich after his only losing season was so important. The key is following up a firing with a good hire. Luckily, WT and Mario were great recruiters and they got good talent to come to Eugene. Nebraska just kept making bad hire after bad hire. Riley and Frost were not known for getting great talent to come play for them, so it’s no surprise that they didn’t work out.

Our week 2 opponent did not have a very good offensive showing vs. UT Martin. I am assuming they didn’t open their playbook and Mullet Mike will have some surprises for OBD when they visit Eugene next weekend.

I noticed that in your parameters there is nothing written about taking shots at players and coaches. I am assuming anything goes within the gameday thread since they will be the targets of 99% if the venting.

I went to the Dean Dome for UNC/Zags. It was th exact opposite of Oregon Football.

Oklahoma State-17 UT Martin-7 3rd Quarter

Luckily, Jerry Jones dropped a big enough bomb that nobody will even notice Boise’s poor performance.

I’ve been to a few cool places. Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge is unmatched. I can’t think of a more perfect college football experience. I haven’t been to Eugene in 10 years, but it’s still the second best experience. Back then, you could get a tailgate spot at the Free Masons lodge for $40. It was a great scene but I imagine the price has gone up. Still a fun place to hang out. I thought the Mo made for a great pre-game experience as well. Pullman had free parking within walking distance of Martin Stadium and a nice indoor tailgate area. I enjoyed the experience there, but getting out of town is nuts because of the infrastructure. Columbia, SC is awesome, but parking is expensive and the wait to get out of William-Brice stadium are can be 2-3 hours. Once again, the infrastructure doesn’t make for an easy exit for 80K fans. Appalachian State is a beautiful setting, but Boone, NC is a dud. The restaurant scene sucks worse than the tailgating. Kidd-Brewer is a great hot weather stadium because the home fans are in the shade. But, late in the season the temps can be in the low teens which makes for single digits in the shade of the home side. NC State and UNC are about as fun as Portland State games. Enough said. I had high hopes for Penn State, but FedEx is trying their best to screw me by losing my parking pass. StubHub also sent me tickets with a person sitting between my wife and me. Hopefully, that person is willing to swap with one of us. Let’s hope the game isn’t as cursed as my ticket buying experience has been.

I’m looking for the Ducks to not be like Boise.
