Football Saturday Open Thread

This is not just Saturday morning any more. These are not just weekends any more.

As of today, weekends are completely, totally, wholly different than they were even just a week ago. Football is back.


Lee Corso may be a penis, yes.
But it's still a better Saturday when he's around.

This is your open thread for all non-Longhorns football games today.

11:00 AM East Carolina at #8 Virginia Tech (ESPN)
2:30 PM Washington State at #9 Wisconsin (ESPN)
2:30 PM Georgia Tech at Notre Dame (NBC)
2:30 PM #15 UCLA at Stanford (FSN)
2:30 PM Nevada at #18 Nebraska (ABC)
4:30 PM Arizona at BYU (Versus)
5:45 PM Oklahoma State at #14 Georgia (ESPN2)
6:45 PM Kansas State at #17 Auburn (ESPN)
7:00 PM #20 Tennessee at #12 California (ABC)
9:15 PM Idaho at #1 USC (FSN)

*All rankings from BlogPoll

I'm headed out to tailgate and attend the ND-GT game. I'll be racing back here in time for the Longhorn game. Texas-Arkansas State comments go in the next open thread. All other CFB talk here.

Welcome home, brothers and sisters.

How many games does Michigan play

against spread offenses?

We play TTech and others with partial elements, so we must prepare for those as a matter of course. Ever since the days of the Coogs' run-and-shoot the Horns have had to keep that in their defense.

But how about Michigan - has their defense had such experience? The do face passing attacks - Purdue, et. al. - but the spread is a different animal.

Any clarification?

And for Carr, the black ball - or at least the threat of it - is now in play.

intercepted a pass deep in App State territory, but only gets a field goal.

App State has driven the field, now has a 1st and 10 at the Michigan 14 yard line.
App State's qb is now 11/12 for 164, 3 TD's, one Int.

Sonny Lubick is a crafty sonofagun.

And one of his missions in life seems to be to deal hell to Colorado. Every since he took over this has been a vicious game. As cornnation notes, there's riot potential because CSU doesn't go kindly into the night, err, early morning now.

CSU-CU

coulda gone to this game, but i could care less about these 2 teams.

vicious rivalry though. they really seem to hate each other. the students started this unity thing last year, where representatives from each school walk so many miles with each other to the stadium and deliver the game ball. supposed to be about fair sportsmanship and all, but it seems like a big facade.

When AppSt had the ball on the prior drive

they went for the throat with the long passes. Didn't make it but reinforced Michigan's self consciousness about making mistakes.

I definitely get the feeling that the Boise State Imperative is in play this season.

anyone watching mizzou - illinois?

chase daniel looked like he wanted to fight his own teammates after that intentional grounding penalty.

My DVR is running on Nebraska - Nevada, so I can't switch around.

Nebraska scores

Marlon Lucky, pass reception,

94 yard drive in 12 players, 4:36 left.

Great commercial with the Texas A&M guy who won't say the clue to charades.

An insane deer. ha!

Upset Alert

Not football related, but Federer just lost the first set to a young American named John Isner.  The crowd is going crazy.

by JohnsonUT on Sep 1, 2007 3:15 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Dude is 6'9"

... and has a killer serve.  He went on a tear at one of the tournaments in the run-up to the US Open and upset 3 top 10 players in a row until Roddick took him out.  He's definetly going to be a good one, and could pull the upset if he keeps up the big serve.  But I have a feeling Federer will make the adjustments to his game and take Isner out of his, and win it in 4.

Officially a Limey Longhorn

Of course

I expect Federer to win the next 3 sets losing only 2 or 3 games.

we're getting all the calls.

That 4th down drawn offsides call should have gone against us.

Wow.

Nebraska not looking too sharp right now. Lots of penalties on both teams.

Nebraska down 10-7

Anyone watching ND-GaTech?

Truly an awful performance by ND in all phases.

But georgia tech, which could lead 28-0, has only a 16-0 lead. I think that's always a dangerous situation. GT will be overconfident.

Of course, watching ND there's no reason they shouldn't be.

Is Weis taking lessons from Lloyd Carr?

by whills on Sep 1, 2007 4:35 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Weis

Time will be out that Weis isn't the great incredible genius he's made out to be.

It makes a difference when you have players.

With Brady, a skilled offense and a great D, everyone seems 'enhanced' and like a genius.

BTW Nebraska looks good

but Missouri looks equally solid.

Gonna be interesting in the north.

We have a kicker!

Whoeeee!

Hell, we'd have probably beaten you guys in Lincoln last year if we had a kicker that could hit something over 40 yards.

Six touchbacks today for our freshman kicker. We had 12 all of last season!

6....really?

that's pretty impressive considering they moved the kickoff back to the 30 yard line.

Lloyd Carr

had absolutely no idea what to say in the post game interview.  SHELLSHOCKED.  Regardless of what happens against tOSU, this is his last season if not last month as Michigan's head coach.

by mvplonghorns on Sep 1, 2007 4:47 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Nebraska is in charge

3 TD's for Marlon Lucky, third quarter rushing TD. 141 yards in the third quarter.  

28-10, Nebraska, 11:30 third quarter.

Funny

they keep showing the commercial with the Ohio State grad who jumps out of the car because he's on a blind date with the Michigan woman.

Do you suppose she'd still be doing that today? I'll bet today she'd tell him she was from Rhode Island!

Watch out!

hehe  UCFlorida's first play from scrimmage was an 80-yard TD run. 7-0 over NCSt.

It's a strange day.

Huskers

looking pretty solid today. Sure it's against Nevada, but solid enough.

Irish...

go down 26-3. Cracking the top 50 doesnt look promising.

by bleed burnt orange on Sep 1, 2007 5:36 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Was at the game

Left at halftime. The Irish were getting absolutely DESTROYED on the lines. The quarterback had zero time to throw, and ND couldn't get any penetration on the Tech OL.

After watching today, I'm convinced it's gonna be a damn long year for ND. Their line is so bad that VY would have had to work his ass off to get anything done.

--PB--

by Peter Bean on Sep 1, 2007 5:53 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

this is why

I don't get the love-fest for Weis at ND. They're going to be bad this season. The Irish hated Tyrone Willingham and they've already throw a gob of money at Weis (although he's made them a ton of dough).

They're going to suck. I've always liked the Irish, but not as long as that fat bastard is there.

Not that I'm bitter or anything. :)

Got hurt on a big hit.  Looked like he had the Bomar, McGee mentality on that run.
