Go Huskies!

Go TCU as well, I guess, maybe!?

Best trophies.

I feel like the media is still holding back on Baylor. Since we as CFB-GAF have absolutely no connections to sever or bridges to burn, in thirty seconds or less, tell us: how do you really feel?

 

[cdyhybrid]

Any questions you'd like us to discuss on the podcast?

Thoughts on the California Golden Bears so far this season?

 

[jstevenson]

so at this point:

Michigan (no Friday night games)
Penn State (Friday night Away games - max 1 per year)

Ohio State - 1 Friday Night home game every 3 years, always over Fall Break (2018 vs Minnesota basically confirmed)
Nebraska - 1 Friday night home game every 3 years
Michigan State - 1 Friday night game EVERY year, always Labor Day weekend
Indiana - 1 Friday Night game every 3 years
Iowa - agrees to Friday night games but only on Labor Day
Wisconsin agrees to occasional but right now only on Labor Day weekend

That leaves 10 Friday night home games for the other 6 schools to figure out.

This all partially makes sense too... the Purdues / Illinois / Rutgers / Maryland / Minnesotas of the world get stuck on BTN, ESPNNews and ESPNU a lot, and play tons of 11am kickoffs.

They get way more main ESPN and primetime exposure by getting these games. So while it's kind of a PITA for the bigger schools (tOSU/Neb/Wisc etc) - it's equitable to occasionally play those games to ensure the conference in general has more primetime slots, and can spread some of its inventory to Fridays

 

[Draxal]

Wait really?

lolololol

Blame Flood

 

[Vanillalite]

Based new topic smell

 

[andycapps]

Great questions so far.

 

[Vanillalite]

Any questions you'd like us to discuss on the podcast?

Should CFB get rid of Thursday Night games? Do you enjoy the Thursday Night product?

MSU is taking 3 Labor Day weekend games
Wisconsin 1
Iowa State 1

That leaves 1 Labor Day weekend game left.

Is it awkward to go to football games alone? Relevant as my friends bailed on me for the FSU game Saturday.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Any questions you'd like us to discuss on the podcast?

If you could tailgate at one school (other than your own) which would it be?

Any recruits you wish your school hadn't signed?

 

[truly101]

As long as I draw breath, the answer to the last pick em question will always and forever be ACC refs.

Never forget
Never forgive

 

[El_Chino]

Great questions so far.

Will SEC East ever match SEC West level of competition?

 

[jfkgoblue]

Toledo up 41-17 in Wednesday night MACtion

 

[andycapps]

New podcast is up. Subscription info should be in OP.

Episode 14 - Dude you might be the most smug podcast who regularly casts around here

This week we talk about last week's games, many of the unbeatens losing, how smug Tom is (very smug).

GOTW - Bama @ LSU

TOTW - Michigan State / Illinois

Lock of the Week - Nebraska @ Ohio State

 

[Ganhyun]

Hoping we can beat Kentucky.

 

[bucknuticus]

Luckily the gatas arent playing this world series, they would have tied to cancel it

 

[Lonestar]

Luckily the gatas arent playing this world series, they would have tied to cancel it

They are trying to outdo that Bama/Clemson game. Not a baseball fan, but this is nuts

 

[FelixOrion]

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooo Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggg Rrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddd

 

[killertofu]

We're overranked af but go gators!

 

[andycapps]

Best trophies.

This was one of the favorites, the UAB vs Memphis baby back ribs trophy.

This is the $5 bits of broken chair from the infamous Minnesota Nebraska rivalry. I'm assuming that like all good rivalries, this one is played at noon.

 

[bucknuticus]

UDUB and Auburn to open the 2018 season in Atlanta

 

[Ourobolus]

C'mon Nebraska!

 

[Sirpopopop]

Any questions you'd like us to discuss on the podcast?

The burgeoning Rutgers-Texas Tech rivalry.

 

[Monroeski]

ESPN Big XII blogger Jake Trotter has been a bit confusing lately. He has Tech not making a bowl game, which sounds reasonable until you see that he has TCU making one despite Tech's head-to-head win and TCU's tougher remaining schedule (Both have Texas, Oklahoma State, and Baylor, but Tech has ISU while TCU plays KSU).

...but then he's also picking Tech to beat Texas this weekend and TCU to lose to BU. So we DON'T beat Iowa State but TCU gets two wins out of Texas, Oklahoma State, and KSU?

Spoiler

The Big XII will probably have a 5-7 team in a bowl this season anyway.

::edit::

wtf :jnc

 

[jstevenson]

*sits here waiting for Illinois to update Wes Lunt's injury status*

 

[Haloid1177]

Bama bracing for that L.

 

[andycapps]

Wait so which one is the game of the century? My Corndogs vs the fighting mres?

You know it. It's all about that faceoff between Coach O (mmhmm) and Saban.

 

[cdyhybrid]

UDUB and Auburn to open the 2018 season in Atlanta

That one should be fun, even though it's a home game for Auburn.

Guess they found a replacement in time after Wisconsin flaked on that game against us.

Yeah Chick-Fil-A likes to get at least one regional team to guarantee a good turnout. I'm sure the fan makeup at the game will be around 70/30 or maybe more in favor of Auburn. It's not far at all.

 

[TheLetdown]

Last week completely kicked my ass, work-wise. And I missed the pick em because of it.

Now, I'm done for. Seriously considering quitting my job over this and then just becoming a professional CFB spectator. Maybe an ACC ref?

Nah ACC refs clearly aren't watching what's happening on the field.

 

[Googly Eyes Dog]

Bama wins by 35, quote me on this one.

OK. If you're wrong you have to change your avatar to Kirk Ferentz for at least a week.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Went with my heart instead of my head on the picks... hopefully it works out

Bama wins by 35, quote me on this one.

Weren't you the one who said the SEC would have an undefeated OOC?

He's trying his hardest to jinx the SEC and Bama in particular.

Well then... my bad keep up the good fight

 

[Karl2177]

I don't know if anyone else is watching the Iowa State Oklahoma game, but that last field goal by Oklahoma... Woof

 

[ag-my001]

Just saw that Penn State is being sued for Clery Act violations.

About time, though it's surprising how many there are for non-Sandusky things.

Started watching before the half, just in time to see game start playing out more expected. Hard to believe ISU was actually leading this game shortly before I started watching. Maybe if I quit watching it will get interesting again.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Colorado down a FG at the half to a depleted UCLA team.

Goldy hosting Purdue this weekend! Somethin's gotta give!

It's tied now but it has been ugly. Sefo Liufau has 2 picks and spent some time in the locker room with an injury.

 

[perfectchaos007]

So many personal fouls
