2020 Fall Football Thread

That moment Friday night when you realize you were so focused on getting your daughters road test scheduled to get her drivers licence around HER incredibly busy schedule that you forgot to factor in the one thing you were looking forward to all week: kick off for YOUR Spartan’s on Saturday. D’oh!

Then your wife informs you she has “shopping and a work project/audit to complete, the road test is all you.”

I HATE watching a game on DVR - Just. Not. The. Same.

Glad that you said something!
I will reserve my comments on the game until we know you've watched it.

Starting to look like BYU is legit.
Or Boise State has really slipped.

BYU has a pretty good team this year. One thing I about guarantee.....they are not a top 10 unit

Holy crap we're sitting in this casino in Cherokee North Carolina and I look up at the TV and Michigan State is down 21-0. What in the world?!?

Well, I hope Vikingstaff is offline!

I think you're right.
They don't play a tough schedule.

Well, MSU lost and lost ugly. Looked even worse than we did against Rutgers. U of M looked awful as well. Apparently us Michigan schools aren’t playing any good ball these days.

Daril - watching that Maryland v Penn St. game. Hell of a start in the first half. Tell your team to keep it up.

Sorry I wasn't thinking. Shocked....

Pulling for Maryland!!!

K State & Ok State have a good one going!

Holy crap a 2 game win streak! WTH?!? Better watch out Ohio State!!! Hahahaha!

 

[Bill N]

I imagine that Penn State figured this week was as close to a bye as there was.
Great day for Turtle fans!!!

 

[Bill N]

Well J V, What are your thought so far?
Your tigers gonna do this deal?

Games not over, but ok day for me. My Spartans look like, well...., my Spartans. BUT UM loss to Indiana and ND loss to Clemson is good with me. ND-Clemson close, but I’m sure I’ll get my wish.

Heading into 2OT.

Hope the Irish can pull this one off.

They'll probably crack under the pressure, and Clemson will walk away victorious, in their usual fashion.

Little bit of life left...

OH BOY




[EDIT]

Ouch!






[EDIT]

VICTORY!

 

[BigKahuna]

Great game! Both teams played their butts off! New #1 next week.....

 

[Bill N]

That was an instant classic.
Sorry J.V.

Man was that a barn-burner. A loss is never easy, but one like that is much easier to swallow. Hope both teams stay undefeated so we can have a replay of that game in the ACC Championship Game. Really hard for me to say it this early but I don't think anyone has anything for OhSt.....but it will be fun to watch.

I'll be the first to say that Maryland can't hang with Ohio St. MD had them in 2018 but lost 52-51 to them when they decided to go for 2 to win the game. But I can dream......

With Ohio State being the perennial favorite in the B1G, I must despise them. Once conference play is complete I rally around them because they represent the Big Ten very well. That said, they haven't faced a top ten program yet, so they could indeed be a playoff team, or they could easily flop in a four team playoff.
All the more reason to expand the playoffs. It would be a shame to only let four teams in, and realize one didn't belong in the top four.
Did that make sense?

congratulations Wiz . Great game. I didn’t think Kelly could win a game like that.
