You misspelled Michigan State as "Alabama".

What this forum really needs is a simple "thumbs up" or "like"

This was very funny


Or maybe another finger instead of a thumb.

LOW?

I saw, seriously, only the last 3 minutes of Week Zero yesterday. Quite possibly the worst stretch of D 1 football I have ever seen.

I assume you are talking about the Florida/Miami game?

Down here in the Lowcountry for the next couple of weeks. Haven't seen hide, hair, or helmet of JB.

Other than the obvious reason that television demands it, I see no rational reason for the college football season to start so early.

Not only does television demand it, I demand it too.

This college football junky needs a college football fix. ;-)

I suggest going to YouTube and watching old bowl games.  It's unseemly that the season starts before so many schools are even in session.

I'm with Yank on this one.

I don't follow the college game as closely as most here, and I don't really watch much before the World Series or Halloween, which ends first, but IMO real football season should start after Labor Day.

Enjoy your vacation cap

Most schools started classes a week ago or this week. The rest begin next week. However it is done the students are on campus for the first football game. It was much different in the past when students on the quarter systems weren’t back until 2-3 weeks into the season.

Fair enough.  Far fewer schools on the quarter system than there once were.  But I still see no reason to start college football when it's still 218 degrees in most places.

Good idea! I suggest getting that CFB off.season fix by going to YouTube and searching "little giants.fake.field goal" and "michigan state fumble punt return" and watching the resulting videos endlessly.

Can’t put toothpaste back into the tube
Or fit today’s college football schedule into the Sept-November calendar.

Wisky has named Jack Coan as their starting Quarterback.  Expect Camp Randall to be full of the sound of one hand clapping this Autumn.

Re-runs? You talking about re-runs? Not about the live game. You talkin about re-runs. Not the live game. Re-runs.
