Duke's perfect season continues.
Apparently Baylor has suspended Shawn Oakman and Orion Stewart for their game this weekend. See guys? Suspending these two star players for the game against SMU (1-11 last season, outscored 496-133 overall, 7 losses by 37+ points, sole win against 2-10 UConn by 7 points) shows their clear devotion to player discipline.
Meanwhile, Baylor President and Chancellor Ken Starr doubles down on his support for Briles and for Baylor's handling of the Ukwuachu case.
...Suddenly I realize that I think I did "Cover" and "No Cover" the wrong way for for my picks earlier. I put "COVER" as I thought Minnesota would beat the spread, but realize now I should have put "NO COVER" since it would be based on TCU (the favored team), not on Minnesota.
Fortunately, whether I did it the right way or the wrong way I went 1-1 tonight so it didn't cost me anything.

Who can hate this guy?
He's a man of the people. A man of the Pepper.
That's it. Fuck Duke.. Go Tar Heels.

Dr. Pepper is Coke run through a dirty sock. So gross.

Gotta get that Dr Pepper with real sugar. That shits awesome. In fact, all the pops made with real sugar are far, far superior to the corn syrup shit.
Watching Hawaii and Colorado, mainly because I love hearing the very white people try to pronounce the names correctly.

Did you mix it with something after the game?

Yeah, cherry Dr. Pepper.

Norm Chow and maybe the entire Rainbow Warrior football program is on the hotseat, a signature win over the Buffaloes here would be a big help in keeping both around.

I didn't realize they were at risk of being UAB'd. It would suck to not have a super late night game in Hawaii every other week.
Underwhelming and conservative performance tonight against CMU. Thought we would cover but we didn't come close, so blah.
On the bright side Rudolph looked really solid and we're incredibly deep at skill positions.
Defense has some athletes but I want to see better tackling and positioning. Frosh punter looks great.
Unfortunately it looks like it will take until at least the Texas game to find out who this team really is.

They got a big shot in the arm from the boosters to help cover costs, but the program is in the red for a long time and realistically needs almost 10K/year more season ticket sales to help bridge the athletic department's deficit. They can get there - at least partially, but they must put a better product on the field to do so.

It's early and Utah is a good team but honestly I think that game pretty much takes the air out of the 8-9 win win parade some Michigan fans are pimping. QB looked horrible at times and it's not like Morris is better. O-line got manhandled most of the game. Eh...

You forgot they play in the shitty B10. They could scrape together 8 wins there, easy.
Hooray, living in eastern North Carolina will continue to be tolerable for the next few years!
Charlotte was nice, but the tickets were way overpriced. Almost $100 face value for 200-level seats in the corner. Thank you, random UNC fan that left his friend hanging.
After last season's exciting, high-scoring losses, I have learned to better appreciate the value of ugly, sloppy wins. This was one of those. UNC was superior on offense and looks to be a solid team if they can keep the turnovers in check. Both defenses looked much better than last season, and UNC's linebackers kept all the off-tackle stuff under control for three quarters.

If you're up right now you should be watching this Hawaii-Colorado game. It's awful in the best ways.

Both Hawaii and Colorado are a comedy of errors

As bad as this game looks it's no where nearly as bad as the Utah St. game I watched tonight. Most of the Mountain West looks pretty shaky in the season openers so far.

does Washington have a chance against Boise St?
Fragamemnon
Member
Washington has raw talent and it has Coach Pete, which means you shouldn't write them off on any game they play. It's not the kind of game I would place a bet on in any way-too much unknowns all around.
edit: While we are talking about Hawaii, I'd like to say that the Hawaii bowl is the worst. Impossible to sell tickets for , holiday season last minute flights to Hawaii = ridiculous, and when you can't sell your school's allotment you eat it on the bottom line. Venue sucks and should be moved to somewhere in the intermountain West or the Pacific NW.

I know Boise St are tough to play at home, but Washington were semi competitive last year in the Pac-12.
Boise St are 12pt favourites or something, I think it will be closer than that.

Running back should have went all the way and handed it to the center judge. That took forever to even place it.
