College Football - Week 1 (Sept. 4th)

[Jon]

I'll be on a rooftop. So pumped!

Not going to be in Wrigley? They opened up sales to young alumni a couple of weeks ago.

We tried that, but the rooftop backed out on us saying they were holding out for a bigger group package, so we're going through Durkin's

It's a group of all of my closest friends and Darnell Autry is supposedly going to be there. Couldn't pass it up.

Right field or left? Right field should offer a pretty good view, but left is probably too far away.

 

I don't know if there's going to be any construction going on for the new hotel complex by that point. Hopefully not.

Yeah, for a rooftop, that view will be pretty ideal.

 

They also just unveiled the new uniforms, too. I really like the road unis, though the Northwestern striping on the home jersey doesn't look great.

I'm going to go through hell to make sure I'm able to attend that game.

I'll be in the press box. :D

[SouthSideRyan]

BTN just said Illinois is 1-16 in their last 17 Big Ten openers. That doesn't seem possible.

All of Mizzou's players are getting in trouble with the law and all of Illinois' players are getting hurt. Not a great week.

I saw that earlier. While they did a nice job with it, it's ultimately worthless without being able to set up cross-divisional games.

 

 

There's another conference call this week to talk about scheduling. It'd be great if they could make the announcement this week, but I don't see it happening. They'd also be taking attention away from the Thursday night games, though any in-season announcement could have that effect.

Penn State released an updated depth chart today and still list McGloin, Newsome, and Bolden as possible starters. I still have no idea why teams feel the need to try and keep starters a secret like this.

It's because they don't actually know who is going to start. They have four QB's, and the oldest one is a RS Sophomore. It's a complete cluster

Yeah I'm surprised. I thought they would want to have it announced before the season.

[Derwood]

that thing won't work for me. it does a bunch of goofy stuff and won't work the way it's supposed to. oh well

[Butterscup1679666578]

Another weekend, another DWI for a Mizzou football player. Look out Georgia, we're coming for you.

IT'S GAME WEEK, BOYS!!!!!

[Tracer Bullet]

[Derwood]

just make it saturday already.

 

for reals

[hawkeyecub]

I'll settle for Thursday.

[SouthSideRyan]

I'd settle for November.

[Andy]

FIVE DAYS.

[bukie]

Man, I can't wait until basketball starts, either.

[Jon]

The weather needs to realize it's football season. It's supposed to dip back into the low 70s for highs for a few days at the end of the week, but these 90s aren't fun.

 

The rest of this week is going to be torture. And waiting until 6:30 on Saturday might kill me. That's why I love 11 AM starts so much.
