NCAA GDT: Week 3

[PanthersPens62]

Went with Miami FL -10, Hawaii +6.5, Tulane -3.5 as the best bets of the morning slate.

Sure hope you are right about The U. Still nervous about this one.

Corso's Headgear Selection from TCU in Ft. Worth......where LaDainian Tomlinson & the Red Rifle, Andy Dalton honed their skillz!

Factoid: Lee is 18-8 when donning Brutus The Buckeye & 6-8 when going against the Buckeyes.

Sign of the Day: "AN Ohio State University"

Celebrity Picker: WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns....yet another picker with no ties to either school , who of course pleases the home crowd by going with TCU

Lee: Has the Frog head on the desk...…says he is unbeaten when picking Superfrog…..but he is not taking any chances this time as he angers the crowd by donning Brutus.

Did they boo Roman when he entered?

Hawaii playing at Army which is basically a 6 AM kick off for them. So they took the opening kick off and scored in about two minutes. Really interested to see how this team plays today.

Sure hope you are right about The U. Still nervous about this one.

Props to them for going to Toledo though.

I was hoping for the Frog...because Lee is almost always right...but it's tough to pick a 13 point dog straight up.

I could see anything from a narrow TCU win to a Buckeye blowout. Bold prediction, I know.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

8-2 so far this year. I don't love this game but UTEP may rival San Jose State with being the worst program in division one.

Tennessee is not great and it's a lot of points but I'm going to give the 32. I hate doing it, but that's my early game.

Tennessee is bad, Jesus. Why did I do this?

 

[ColePens]

Are football players and coaches the dumbest out of every sport in the world? The FSU guy just randomly picked up a punt as it was rolling for more and more yards. He cost his team a few yards at least for no reason.

And coaches constantly have 0 clue how to work clock.

I read somewhere that Hawaii flew in several days early to try and acclimate to the time difference. I think this might be a case where all the casual betters immediately think they've found an edge because of the 6am start, as though the books didn't already factor that into the line.

Above all else, this is what truly blows me away. Out of all the different facets of coaching a football team, clock management is the one thing that a coach is in total control of. If you're coaching football as a full time job, it should just be an automatic that the clock gets managed properly. But lo and behold, people like Andy Reid manage to surprise us over and over.

Iowa State is hanging in but it feels like this game is teetering on edge. They need to run the ball and limit Oklahoma's possessions.

 

[Kyle McMahon]

What is up with Maryland? Losing by 2 TDs at home to freaking Temple?

Rutgers and Nebraska getting schooled by Kansas and Troy...ugly start to the day for the Big Ten.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Gut punch for the Cyclones. Gave up a 3rd and 19 and now a TD.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That Oklahoma TD was another nice twist on an RPO. Iowa State had 8 in the box and it was 3 on 2 on the edge. The slot bubble was the built into the run action. Murray made the right read. Galaxy brain Lincoln Riley.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Haha, Florida State.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Hakeem Butler coming out party. 6'6" 225 with ball skills.

That was a beautiful throw and an even better catch.

You mean Kansas could be >.500 after Week 3? When was the last time THAT happened? Pre-Obama?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Its hard to find fluid 6'6" receivers. He moves so easily. Just needs to be use his hands more often. Too many body catches.

Yeah, it looked like he almost dropped that pass.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

That was insane catch by Butler. QB threw a trash ball. Just throw it in front of him.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Twin surrender cobras!

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Montgomery reminds me of a young Frank Gore.

2008, back when this unit was patrolling the sidelines. They went 8-5. His last year there in 2009 they went 5-7. He went 50-48 overall there & went 12-1 with Orange Bowl win in 2007.

 

[GKJ]

OU losing another running back

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Ugly injury.
