Here is where we discuss all games other than the captivating State/Central Michigan tilt (be still my beating heart). My record last week identifying watchable games was wretched, to put it mildly. Let’s hope this week shakes out better. For those of you that, like me, don’t expect the Chickens and UCF to be a […]
Sept. 21-22 Open Football Thread
This is probably the worst weekend of the season, college football-wise. Lots and lots of uncompetitive “action.” Here is what I see as a viewing guide for today: 10:00a – Everton at West Ham, NBCSN (Extra Time, channel 1520 for TWC-NC HD feed). Start your day with the English Premier League soccer Pack, trying to […]
Pack/Tiggers 2013 Football LiveBlog
As promised, here I be…for perhaps some fun and merriment. This year, the cartoon jingle (“oh the wonderful thing about Tiggers, is Tiggers are wonderful things”) is apt. Clemson is good, really good. I can say it out loud, because I won’t feel bad if I jinx them – I think 2013 Clemson is too […]
There Will Be LiveBlog Tonight
This is a perfect opportunity to bring back a sometimes loved, sometimes hated staple of SFN – the game night LiveBlog. It had been mostly on permanent hiatus due to superstitious factors (i.e., bad juju beyond our control), but with a rebuilding Wolfpack squad facing one of the three best teams in the country…there’s no […]
9/14 Open College Football Thread
The slate certainly looks like Alabama/TAMU and a whole bunch of nap opportunities. But some other games will turn out more interesting than we expect. That’s the beauty of saturation TV coverage, the more darts thrown, the better chance something will hit. I will probably mostly watch Everton/Chelsea until 2:30, especially given the weakness of […]
Pack/Spiders Game Thread
I will admit, I know f-ck all about Richmond football, other than that Duke quit playing them after going 0-for-3 (most under Mike London, I think). Wait, I guess that’s two things I know. Three 1-A teams lost to 1-AA foes last week, and two of them (K State and Oregon State) were pretty good […]
Week 2 Open (ie, non-NC State) College Football Thread
Yes, it’s early…but Wake Forest looks like a full-on dumpster fire. Ah, the bottom feeder Atlantic Division clashes. Kind of appropriate that it’s on during a predominantly high school timeslot. Tomorrow’s slate is pretty mediocre, apart from Dawgs/Cocks. No confirmation as to whether peanut butter will be involved.
August 31 General College Football Thread
It all starts at 5:30 with Bama vs. VPI, where there is great drama as to whether the castrated turkeys can score. Once that bludgeoning goes to half, there’s one of those weird early season games that I suspect might wind up being kinda fun – Wazzu at Auburn. Mike Leach is always entertaining, more […]
NC State vs. LA Tech Game Thread
Yay, kickoff is minutes away! Need a reason to be positive? TOB has left town. And Skip Holtz is coaching the other team. I will see you in the comments for late August fun and hilarity. Nobody knows what to expect from either team, so enjoy the ride.
College Football 2013 Kicks Off
Joy of joys, our long national nightmare of watching only baseball and soccer ends tonight. Hopefully with some nice, medium-well Hole Schadenfreude. Yes, teams will be rusty, but there are at least theoretically interesting matchups, headlined by Georgia/Clemson and LSU/TCU. Hell, I’m even geeked to stay up late to watch Ole Miss and Vandy tonight. […]
