Beat me to it. :D

Was just about to post the same. Lots of games I'm looking forward to this weekend. I'm focusing and keying in mainly on the five games I bolded Thursday and Saturday, the rest will be games I'll flip to during commercials or at halftime to check out what's going on. Sunday and Monday I'll probably end up with all of the games on, focusing mainly on Colorado-Colorado State. Unfortunately, once again, no Friday games for me, since I'll be stuck at work until at least 11pm, if not midnight, Eastern, due to HS football starting back up, and thus stuck in a studio all evening.

Rooting for you guys to win the opener because the next three games are just brutal and all on the road. Who the heck thought scheduling Nebraska, Arkansas and Boise St all on the road was a good idea?

And yet souljah was complaining about Southern Miss playing a slew of non-conference money games during one of my seasons at Tulsa in my dynasty. :D

Yeah, we gots to get paid. We had Boise St. at home last year and it was one of our "better losses." I'm confident that the new regime can restore some of our lost pride from last year. After a certain point last year, I actually wanted us to lose. 2-10 or 1-11 just doesn't have impact as 0-12. It stopped hurting halfway through the season and it just became funny with each loss.

i seriously debated flying out to hawaii to see the USC game....but couldnt find plane tickets cheap enough. would have been super fun though.

That sounds like a great trip! I love where I live now but I will miss being at the games in the fall. I do plan on going to a few Griz games here in town but I know it won't be the same.

On their level they look good from what I understand. Couple years ago they got blown out by a 5-7 Tennessee I think. I am going to try to attend the home opener against Appalachian St. Saturday.

A glorious five days we have ahead of us :nod:

Not so much here with Wyoming. If we lose, the state will combust, but that's every time we lose.

Guess who just escorted Joe and Jennifer Montana around the dome? This guy

one of my best friends kids just sent an email. He goes to Tulane and is part of equipment staff or some such thing !!!

Posted this in the Discussion thread earlier, meant to post it in here.

Damn! I almost had it perfect. My dynasty game, Utah State at Utah, Utah led 14-10 in the second quarter, before a field goal with one second left cut it to 14-13 Utah at halftime. The real life Utah State at Utah game, Utah was leading 14-10, Utah State facing third and goal, with 20-some seconds left. Utah State ended up scoring a touchdown on the play to take a 17-14 lead with 20 seconds left until halftime, but damn, talk about almost perfectly nailing the halftime score. :D


As for the game itself, fuck. One shanked extra point, and Utah State loses 30-26 to Utah in the Battle of the Brothers. Nick Diaz (USU kicker) is not going to be too popular in the locker room and around campus for the next week. Of course the defense didn't help for shit either. I lost track of how many dumbass penalties the defense committed (USU committed 7 penalties for 95 yards overall), and then two fumbles by the offense (one lost), just sank the opportunities. I will give Utah credit for one thing, the onside kick they kicked and recovered in the third quarter, that they proceeded to steamroll the USU defense and take a 24-23 lead. That was ballsy. But it paid off.


On the Tulsa front, wow. A horrible, horrible night for Tulsa. Came to Ohio and got bitchslapped 34-7 by Bowling Green. :fp:
