College Gameday Thread: Week 1

[Smooth Criminal]

Loved the catch. Buckeyes really need some young guys to step up at receiver this year. Not much experience there at all. Good to see them make a couple great plays yesterday.

Flat I tell you, flat.

Dude, calm down. LSU is obviously one of the best teams in the country right now and stacked at every single position outside of quarterback. I'm just not convinced Oregon is THAT bad. But if you want to get offended for "not being respected", by all means continue your diatribe.

Well I pray we burn those hideous pro combats after that loss to Boise. It was quite the bittersweet day though knowing Bama was kicking off & I couldn't talk to one my best friend that I lost during the storm in Tuscaloosa. I'm thankful though that I have this great NFLDC community though to get me through the season & ring in another great year of football.

Agree on the Georgia unis, somewhere Herschel Walker was barfing in his beer.

As for the LSU QB situtation i think historically they've had decent QBs there. Go back to the days of the Bert Jones and David Woodleys of the world up to Matt Flynn taking them to a national title and it isnt bad. Jamarcus Russell for all his flaws as an NFL QB was good enough to be picked #1 overall.

Lately it seems the Tigers are going for the running threats at QB when they probably should be recruiting the fertile grounds of Texas for more the passing types.

Both of those uniforms were gross, but Georgia's were some of the worst I've seen in a while. And that grey jersey Oklahoma State wore? Disgusting.

In all fairness to them; it's worked for everybody else. I don't blame them for trying to go to that model at all....but Jefferson and Lee have just been garbage for a good time now. JJ showed flashes at times, but he hasn't been anywhere near consistent enough.

Geno Smith looks great in the first half

Geno Smith is going to be a better pro than Cam Newton.

[tjsunstein]

Holgerson is pretty boring so far. We could easily work the seams, not sure why he's pulling a Bill Stewart with the screens all day. I would say we're setting them up for something bigger but when?

[tjsunstein]

Our play calling was suppose to improve right. What the **** was that on fourth and inches? Call something better or back up a true freshman inside his own 20.

[tjsunstein]

One of Tavon Austin's most valuable assets is his return ability and sadly, that will diminish at the next level with the rule changes.

[tjsunstein]

Both games I intended to watch start to finish (WVU, ND) have both had weather delays. I thought baseball was bad.

Not sure about taking the gas pipe (too early for that) but the UW Huskies were a low throw away from losing to Eastern Washington in the opener. As i said if they play like that in Lincoln it's blowout city.

[draftguru151]

TAMU starting the scoring quick, Christine Michael punches it in from a few yards out to go up 7-0 after the interception.

I had bad thoughts when SCAR was down 17-0.

[tjsunstein]

... and we're back.

[TheBoyWonder22]

Jesus, that was the longest delay ever.

It's finally over.
Called off.

[tjsunstein]

I hadn't even taken into account that the players haven't eaten since 11:30 am. 11 hours ago.

I'm sure someone brought them a snack.

Who are the best prospects on Miami and Maryland this year?

And who am I betting? Terps -4?

Bet Miami.

[draftguru151]

Lamar Miller (RB) and Brandon Washington (RT) are the top guys playing tonight for UM. Brandon Linder (RG) is a guy to watch for the future. Kenny Tate is the top guy for Maryland.

[SeanTaylorRIP]

QB Danny Obrien also looks like a nice nfl prospect in a year or two.
