The College Football Thread

I went to 3 years of home games at Florida and 3 years at Florida State.  Many years ago.

A few years ago I had a client who took me to Miami Hurricanes games in the Orange Bowl.

My time for attending live games is over - too expensive, too hot, too time consuming and they don't even sell overpriced warm beer anymore.

Florida Atlantic is building a stadium on campus and expects to play there next year.  It's almost (not quite) walking distance from home.  Never say never.

Florida isnt impressing me this year. Some upsets this week! VT losses again!!

Cal doesnt dissapoint me though 

Cal-52
Colorado-7

Alabama 24
Penn State 3

Well...I believe we put up a good fight (obviously this will be argued, but I would not consider it a "slaughter"), and overall, the score spread was pretty much what most students here expected.
On to the next games....

We were looking for a 13 point spread in the Bama game so we weren't disappointed.  Penn had a good defense against us, but they kept turning that ball over, I think the game could have been a lot closer than it was...not that I'm complaining!

Michigan had me on the edge though, that last minute of game time was stressing me out...thankfully we took it.  Good day for me, both my teams take home a win!

And how about that VT game    Now Boise doesn't look so hot.   :D

Florida is not impressing me, either, and it has a tough month coming up.

@ Tennessee
Kentucky
@ Alabama
LSU
Mississippi State
Georgia

I'd be happy to see us win 4 of those.

East Carolina - 49
Memphis - 27
Great game.

Anybody going to any games this year? I'm going to the UF-USF game tomorrow.

I have a "contract" with ECU's

To be fair the Bama Penn state game slowed down once bama got the lead. I think Saban's respect for Paterno stopped him putting more points on the board. There were a few drives that the Lions figured out Bama, but there were also drives that I think Bama held themselves back in play selection.
I think Boise states hopes of a national championship just went up in smoke yesterday. They have to hope Ohio state lose a game, because there is no way a 1 loss SEC team is overlooked even for Boise state now.

To be honest, I didnt think the Alabama-Penn State was even gunna be a good matchup. I mean I like the teams playing each other but they made it all hyped up like it was sapose to be a good game.

I think the Notre Dame vs. Michigan game deserved the big hype, and Boise State vs. VT but not Bama-Penn State...

I wouldove taken Bama 9 outta 10 times...but I didnt wanna say anything to soon...because anything could happen.

The history behind the two teams is what made the game special, Joe-Pa used to be real close with Bear Bryant back when the two teams were so called "rivals."  They had not played each other in 38 years, and to this day they still wear the same old school style college football uniforms.  That's what most of the fuss was.

[SeanTK]

Yeah, it's more of a novelty thing for the press. Trust me, a majority of the students up here aren't too happy with the arrangement. Of course, a year from now we can expect the same media hype when they play PSU at home. (I'll have graduated by then.)
That may be interesting since we have the craziest student section in the country (according to Kirk Herbstreit).

Just as an aside, there's another push to get the stadium named after JoePa before he retires/dies for those interested. Efforts have appeared in the past, but I believe there is a stronger possibility now that Joe's overtaken Bowden record-wise.
