College Football 2013 Week 2

[SmoothPancakes]

By all means, please continue the discussion on Johnny Douchebag, who even Brian Urlacher is coming out and saying he acted like a punk in the Rice game.

But, it's officially Tuesday, and we have the first game of week 2 kicking off in Thursday, so time for the new week's thread. I'll also go and edit in rankings and bold the games with ranked teams once the new rankings are released.

As for games I'm looking forward to this week. Once again I have to miss the Friday night game (this time UCF-FIU) thanks to being stuck at work until 11pm or midnight with HS football, but at least Navy is finally in action this week.

The noon games, I probably won't see them, due to sleeping after I get home from work Saturday morning (always end up pulling all-nighters on Friday nights due to getting off HS football work at 11pm or midnight and then turning around at 2am or 3am and going back in), but if I somehow happen to be awake, I'll check those three out.

The 3:30/4:30 block is gonna be the one that wears out my remote. Toledo-Missouri and Utah State-Air Force are the two biggies for me. In between, I'll be checking in regularly with Delaware State-Delaware and SDSU-Ohio State, and to a lesser frequency checking out South Carolina-Georgia.

The 6-8pm block is gonna be the bread and butter hours, with Navy-Indiana at 6pm and Colorado State-Tulsa at 7pm. Southern Miss-Nebraska I may check in on, though probably infrequently since I'll have to watch it on BTN's two standard def football channels. I may also check in from time to time on ULL-Kansas State, just to see if they can avoid a second upset, on West Virginia-Oklahoma just to see if the Mountaineers can actually play football this year, and on Notre Lame-Michigan just to see if someone invented a way for two teams to lose the same game.

Then in the 10:30pm nightcap, flipping back and forth between Arizona-UNLV and Washington State-USC. Neither team explicitly interests me, but since both games will be just one channel apart on my channel lineup, I'll probably be doing a lot of flipping from one to the other.

Don't do it Smooth. It's gonna be a massacre... 50-0. Anything else and Oklahoma should be VERY worried for their season.

[bdoughty]

We shall see. I think it will be much closer because of the inexperience at QB. I hope I am proven wrong.

[gigemaggs99]

This was posted in the local paper for what it's worth....this is on JFF not being named a cpt...

"But Manziel's omission from the Aggies' leadership council should tell you everything you need to know about his stock as a leader."

Arkansas State travels to Auburn this week... lots of emotion on our side. I didn't watch any of the WSU/Auburn game but from the sounds of it, they weren't very crisp and their QB only threw for 99 yards. We racked up 500 yards rushing this past weekend against UAPB with 4 players over 100 yards... should be an interesting game.

GL man. Would love to see you guys beat them.

Spread opened at Aub -6, has ballooned to -13. I think it will be closer if Ark. St has any depth.

[GatorfanStovy]

Should be a great game and early test for against Can't wait for the game!

[souljahbill]

I'm not even going to bother watching. We're taking an L. Just hoping we don't get a goose egg or the score ran up on us.

[morsdraconis]

FAU vs ECU tonight at 7:30. I'm tempted to check it out if I'm not busy doing other things.

[SmoothPancakes]

I may check in on it, but it actually has been bumped to the backburner, as I completely forgot that NFL kicks off tonight with Baltimore-Denver.

Right now I'm only guaranteed to see Denver on TV for 5 weeks this season (Thursday night, Sunday night and Monday night games). Other than that, I'll be stuck watching shitty Cleveland and Detroit, and less shitty Cincy and Indy. And of those four teams, Indy is the only one on Denver's schedule, and that's one of the Sunday night games.

So I'll watch the first hour of FAU-ECU and then jump to NFL at 8:30.

looks like they failed that test....

[morsdraconis]

Yup. No offense and 5 turnovers will do that to ya.

[bdoughty]

Georgia is a laying down the smack on SCAR. Clowney who?

Edit: Georgia defense returns to last weeks status.

[CLW]

That's actually an interesting point. IMHO its NOT Johnny Football making their offense so..... successful its their o-line which gives him all day. The kid is rarely under any serious duress.

Football tests are like English tests.

[morsdraconis]

This is looking familiar. 75 yard td - 7-0 WVU
