2020-21 College Football Thread

Dave Neal is on the call for Syracuse at UNC ACC matchup today. He is easily in my top tier of p×p broadcasters. He's very good. He's an FSU alum and has been doing SEC games for various sports for many years.

Pretty rough start to the first CFB Saturday. Top 20 UNC turned it on late but looked pretty brutal through 3Qs. Top 25 ISU looked lackadaisical in defeat. Though on the bright side, through a quarter and a few possessions, ND looks atrocious

Go Dook.

I think you are going to see a lot of inconsistent play.  Games cancelled.  Uneven schedules.  And eventually they will crown a champion.

Whether or not the B10 and P12 should have participated in this mess will be judged by history.

I went an entire season without watching college football in protest of conference realignment.   I am seriously contemplating doing it again.   

I doubt that seriously impacts the game.

So they've stopped play at the Georgia Tech-Florida State football game because of lightning in the area.  I don't know why.  More people die of the flu every year than being struck by lightning.

I'm on the Sun Belt Conference fan club today!!

Matt Campbell probably should have struck while the iron was hot.  Pretty hard to win consistently at Iowa State.

The notion of playing around Thanksgiving is in embryonic discussion, and there's a desire among coaches to start as early as possible.

Does this mean Thanksgiving 2020 may now be officially celebrated in the Spring of 2021?

Ever see a -10 yard punt with a zero yard return for a touchdown?  Well...

College football is just so awesome.

Got lucky while flipping around. Saw it live. The punter's reaction was funny.

A punt return record that will never be broken...

I'm not watching because I don't think they should be playing. Pros are fine but not college.

I was supposed to be at the Oregon/Ohio State game today. It would have been cancelled anyway due to the fires and the air quality in Oregon being the worst in the world. Some things are just bigger than football.

That'll show 'em, Billy!!

Tim Brando published his Top10 on the Paul Finebaum Show last week. He had Iowa State #6. Oops.

[The Sultan]

Boy the B12 probably wishes they would have cancelled the season right?

Kinda like losing interest in MU basketball because they're in support of Marxist communism, ain't?

Unlike some, I don't believe my decision matters to them. It's just a personal decision. After Liverpool/Leeds yesterday ND/Duke came on NBCand I had no interest.

LOL. Said by me never. One of my roommates (and a very close friend) was at one point the president of SDS at  Marquette. We had many long, detailed and spirited political discussions/disagreements about the merits (or lack thereof) of all of the "isms". Never affected how we viewed each other as people - the idea that we would boycott, cancel or claim moral superiority over politics was ridiculous to us. You and Billy may roll that way. Not me.

There have been dozens of posts about not watching the NBA or MU basketball because of BLM. Why didn't you make this post in response to those posts?

I have been clear that "cutting off your nose to spite your face" is (IMO) foolish. And I haven't seen any MU fan saying they are boycotting MU Hoops over their support for BLM.

I have, however, seen it from the "other side". Wades (and I guess Theo John, too) say that those of us who don't share their politics are unwanted/unwelcome as fans of the program. I consider that attitude childish, ignore it and continue to support the program.

If you have only seen it on one side,  then you have proven my point

Saying "Black lives matter" is not a political statement. It's a human rights statement. The fact that some people can't tell the difference is a big part of the problem.
