2011 Week 1 College Football Games

[SmoothPancakes]

Well, it definitely doesn't help that I don't give a diddly fuck about either team. If it's WVU, and we're trouncing the shit out of someone, I'm all over it and watch every second of it. If it's someone I don't care about, it's boring. I wanna see a team struggle to score 21 points because of stifling defense and punishing hits, unless it's WVU. Then, I wanna see them beat the shit out of someone 100-0.

My college football watching experience is really that simple. Every team but WVU needs to play like shit enough to make it where the game is interesting instead of it being the last team with the ball is going to win/throw an INT to lose it. If I wanted that, I'd play the dumb ass CPU on NCAA.

If you lived here in NW Ohio, and were a fan of one of the local HS teams, they would have made you proud tonight. Second week of the season, the first week of conference play for them, they abused their opponent 83-6.

So that means I should put my money on Boise State when the TCU-Boise game comes around?

I would have anyway. TCU's offense isn't gonna do shit against a team that actually knows how to play defense.

Plus, part of TCU's problem was, they were playing the run WAY too much. Respecting Griffin WAY too much. Any QB can hit a dude that's wide open on a flair route (especially him as he has a very nice arm). Pretty much every TD throw Griffin made was to a guy who torched his man either over the middle or down the sideline because they bit on watching what Griffin was doing instead of playing their damn assignment.

That's just ridiculous and completely uncalled for. No score should ever surpass 70. I can understand hitting 63 or so by halftime (WVU had a 59-0 lead against Rutgers in 2001 on their way to trouncing them 80-3 where they had 2nd and 3rd teamers in after halftime, ran the ball a total of 48 times, and still scored 21 points in the 2nd half - needlessly to say, it was BEAUTIFUL in an otherwise HORRIBLE year) but good god, why keep pouring it on? That's just nuts.

Yeah, they were winning 41-0 at halftime. So it ended up being 42-6 in the 2nd half alone. Another team in that same league won their game tonight 68-6, which the halftime of that game was 48-6. And in a game from another county, the team won 69-7, and was winning 56-0 at halftime. Some ugly, ugly blowouts tonight.

Those are sometimes my favorite games. If I don't have anything invested in the game, I can just sit back and enjoy it.

but good god, why keep pouring it on?

Depends on the circumstances of the scoring. I remember a few years back I was following one of my friend's HS teams, and they rolled all over their opponent. Even the 3rd string was rolling, and via running the ball, not passing.

If your opponent didn't show up (or is totally outmatched), it really doesn't matter how much you take your foot off the pedal -- not in high school, where the talent differences can be staggering.

To do list for week 2

Get morsdraconis address to send some "pharmaceutical aids" to prevent the eventual stroke he is going to have
Get SmoothieP to set his DVR early in the week
Start making some $ on my awesome predictions

[SmoothPancakes]

Oh, I usually have it set early in the week. I've had Delaware-Navy set to record since last Friday, and had UMass-Holy Cross set to record since Sunday. I just never got around to actually setting it for TCU-Baylor. That, and 3 1/2-4 hours of football in HD, along with other stuff previously recorded, really kills the amount of space on a DVR. UMass-Holy Cross alone took up more DVR space than every single other thing combined that was already recorded on it.

[morsdraconis]

Only games worth watching today are the LSU vs Oregon and Boise State vs Georgia games tonight (why in the fuck did they put them on at the same time!? ).

I would totally watch Navy steamroll Delaware if I wasn't working today though. Love me some Navy football.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep, Delaware-Navy is the only I am absolutely making sure I sit down and watch. The other games, I may decide to watch at the time, I may not, it'll depend. But Navy is a guaranteed watch.

National champs getting tested by Utah State.

National champs getting tested by Utah State.

at least Utah State has a kicker LOL unlike Penn State

who's the annoying female voice of the Auburn game ?

[oweb26]

Wow @ this Auburn Game right now.

[JBHuskers]

LOL @ the fairweather Auburn fans leaving after going down 10, and now down 3 just recovered the onside.

utah st choked on that onside kick

[oweb26]

I wouldnt call them fairweather fans, more like practical traffic avoiding fans.

[ram29jackson]

well Utah St. loses, but the point has been made... Auburn is going to suck this year. South Carolina is going to kill them.

[bdoughty]

Middle Tenn St looking to upset Purdue on the road. Driving late in the game down by 3.

[bdoughty]

They had a shot at the FG and got it blocked.

[bdoughty]

Directional Michigan is driving it down Michigan's throat.

Directional Michigan 7 - Michigan 0

[bdoughty]

South Florida goes up on Notre Dame.
