NCAA GDT: 2018 Season Week 1... Showdown in South Bend

[The Zetterberg Era]

Pat Fitzgerald is a really good coach. Would be interesting to see what he could do at a bigger school, but being at his alma mater is probably the perfect place for him.

He's not leaving, he turned away Texas interest before they hired Charlie Strong. He also turned down overtures from both University of Michigan and Penn State in the past. Fitz loves Northwestern and loves living in Northfield a little ways from campus. I guess you never say never, but I would be stunned if Fitzgerald left NU. He has had options from the kind of names that you would think he would leave for already if that was his thought. He is happy there and it isn't just his alma mater in terms of a part of this, the impact of Randy Walker on Fitzgerald is also a pretty big deal to Fitzgerald from what I understand.

The only job Fitzgerald leaves for is an NFL job. Which isn't out of the question.

Good game at Purdue. They've got a pretty electric freshman out there witj two touchdowns already

4 star kid out of L'Ville. One of the biggest surprises from the recruiting season. Flipped from Texas to Purdue.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Excited to see what not Taylor Lamb has in store for us up at Penn State. Can't be any worse than sustained mediocrity.

Aka cam newton and your Carolina Panthers

That's pretty stupid considering the NFL and NCAA are incredibly different.

Kid has shake and breakaway speed, very impressive for a true freshman.

That game was a lot of fun to watch, although every time I remembered it was two B1G teams playing, I was confused.

That's pretty stupid considering the NFL and NCAA are incredibly different.

It's also stupid because the Panthers have won their division 3 times with Cam Newton, also making the Super Bowl once. A lot better than the majority of NFL franchises. That poster you're responding to must not be very bright though, so we should give him a break.

Lee Corso is awesome

‘It’s like stealing’: After 25 years of GameDay on the...

“Let me tell you something: On Thursday morning I get up, I get on a first-class plane and fly to a place and stay in a nice hotel and get a lot of great meals,” he says. “First class! Then I go and talk football for a couple hours, I see the best game of the year and I get on a plane (in) first class and I go home."

“And they pay me!” he continues, laughing harder than ever. “Why the hell would you ever think about retiring? It’s like stealing. It’s like stealing. Why would you ever think about retiring? I’m gonna be like that vaudeville act — the guy’s out there talking and talking and they get a hook and they try to hook him and bring him off the stage.”

He is predicting Wisconsin to win the National Championship

It will be a sad day when Lee is no longer part of College Gameday.

Country music star Luke Bryan will be the Celebrity picker in South Bend.

So Michigan State is losing 14-13 to Utah State late in the first half.

Syracuse was beating Western Michigan 34 to 7 in the second quarter and it's now 34-28 in the third. Western Michigan is averaging 10 yards a rush

Rocky Long continues to find talent and coach it up at SDSU.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Not surprised at Utah State. They are usually a pesky team.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is a match up nightmare.

 

[GKJ]

And Michigan State is overrated

 

[Gene Parmesan]

And Michigan State is overrated

Preseason polls are worthless like that. Michigan State is an 8 or 9 win team.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

DID YOU GUYS KNOW JUMP AROUND IS A THING THAT HAPPENS AT WISCONSIN?!?!?

 

[spintheblackcircle]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is a match up nightmare.

He's gonna be a high pick
