Go Irish!

[souljahbill]

Southern Miss and UL-Lafayette are sacrificial lambs for the SEC this week. If my teams put up a decent fight in defeat, I'll be happy.

I predict 44-7.

[souljahbill]

I predict 44-7.

For Southern Miss, that would be an improvement from last year.

[baseballplyrmvp]

Go

[JBHuskers]

[AustinWolv]

Go Blue, new era.

[JBHuskers]

I could see a colossal fuck up against BYU...

[SmoothPancakes]

A blocked field goal with 25 seconds left gives Florida International a 15-14 victory over Central Florida.

[SmoothPancakes]

Go Utah!

[gschwendt]

For those that didn't stay up until the wee hours of the morning... here's the end of the Colorado/Hawaii game.

Some interesting results from the first night of football. UConn struggled mightily with Villanova. Utah State damn near blew it against Southern Utah. Was losing 9-5 at halftime and needed an 88 yard punt return for a touchdown with 5 minutes left in the game to pull a 12-9 win out of their asses. Western Kentucky scored a 14-12 win over Vanderbilt. Minnesota's defense did great in holding TCU to just 23 points and only 10 points at halftime. Arizona had a lot of trouble in their 42-32 win over UTSA. North Carolina gave South Carolina all they could handle. Central Michigan put up a hell of a fight against Oklahoma State.

Obviously, the big game tonight is going to be Washington-Boise State. Since I have to work, that game is going on the DVR so I can watch it later in full and not only see the second half when I get home from work.

Currently watching UNC-Charlotte's very first FBS game. They're currently up 10-0 on Georgia St. in a very unpacked Georgia Dome.

I was tempted to go Boise on my Pick 5, but too shaky of a number IMO.

Gameday!

Damn, what an ending to that Washington-Boise State game. I haven't watched it yet, but reading about the ending during sports this morning, the game tying 46 yard field goal ending up going wide right by inches in the final seconds. The ball damn near brushed the side of the upright as it went past it was so close to it. Damn that's a harsh way to lose.

I just watched it on Sportscenter. It was barely wide right.

Watched the 4th quarter and was really impressed with the True Freshman QB for Washington. The defense also dominated the second half, Boise could not handle the blitz The worst part was it should have never been a 46 yard field goal attempt. If I recall correctly they had a penalty and sack back to back and had a good chance to win it outright before that happened.


Now for the stat of the season. *Also an FCS victory over the FBS.

Army's first ever win in football came against Fordham back in 1891.
Since 1891, Fordham was defeated by Army in each of the four matchups, leading up to last night.
124 years later, Fordham upsets the Black Knights, "37-35!"
