Super ready to see my beloved U take on LSU in Jerryworld Sunday night.

And barring any last minute catastrophes my weekly "Corso Headgear Report" returns on Saturday.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Va Tech and FSU could be interesting.

 

[HisIceness]

Looks like there is only one Thursday night game. UCF at UConn, which could actually be decent.

 

[Tony Romo]

hopefully we win this year so my expecations go against the roof after beating maryland

 

[What the Faulk]

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

Starting with such a big game is pretty damn terrifying honestly. I'm geared up for it, but a loss (almost) knocks ND out of playoff contention right off the bat.

Not really if Notre Dame can win out. But yeah, not being in a conference could screw them even if they do only have 1 loss depending on how the other P5 conferences shake out.

Norman, Oklahoma- hide ya wives and daughters, Lane Train is coming to town!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Sneaky game. FAU is talented enough to keep it interesting if OU plays sloppy.

Theres quite a few. The best one is probably Northwestern and Purdue.

I put the notable games in the opening post.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Go Blue!

 

[rangerssharks414]

There's a stretcher out after the kickoff of the UCF vs. UConn game. I didn't see it, but it's obviously not good.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

Does Florida State have a contract that says they always start the season on Labor Day? It's interesting how repetitive these schedules tend to feel year in and year out.

Go Stanford and Cal, I guess. Hopefully USC loses.

 

[ecemleafs]

why is a b1g conf game week 1?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

There are a few conference games this weekend.

I feel old. Antoine Winfield Jr just took a punt back to the house.

Lol. I remember that guy, was so so. He was on the Bills in the late 90s then I think went to Minnesota and like SF

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

I know its only Purdue but their QB is hyped, Northwestern could be a dark horse like team this season.

He wasn't so so at all. He was a good player.

There is no hype on Thorson except from the fringe. He's not good.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

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

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

That injury looked pretty bad. I wonder if he just lost his eye or detached his retina watching that... Hope that kid is okay but that looked plenty scary and the reaction of the trainers was one of general fear when they turned from the player and were looking around.

You never want to see something like that.

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.
