2023 College Football Thread

[lowsparkco]

Pre-season ranking is always abysmally wrong, always. The Pac12 is going to dominate the 7-15 space in the top 25, for whatever that’s worth. Ironic that in its last season it’s probably going to have the most parity of any conference and some really exciting match ups

SEC took two blows this weekend with South Carolina’s loss to UNC, and of course LSU’s collapse. But, let’s face it, neither of those teams are named Georgia or Alabama. What other conference wouldn’t kill to have 2 legitimate top 5 programs?

With one game down, can you say LSU is terrible? Maybe FSU is really good?

I'd laugh my ass off of Clemson lost to DOOK tonight..

Went to a DOOK game every year when the kid was in scouting. They're great with Scout Night stuff. If I'm paying we're going to see the wife's Tarheels. We have friends who work there and get us tickets about every other year. Also primo employee parking there.. We walked to the DOOK games sometimes..

And here I thought Duke was a basketball school

What in the Oklahoma Sooners happened to Clemson's defense??

[BmillsSkier]

That was fun watching all the Clemson fans gloat about South Carolina’s loss to UNC for a few days until last night.

Yeah I was here a couple weeks ago searching for a rib rub recipe I posted in like 2009 and thought maybe I should actually see who’s still here at some point.

So who’s still around? Iceman? Blurred? Super chief?

I'll have to ping SuperChief, pretty sure he's still around here lurking.

If you dont like Deion's brashness or the way he does business, fine. But that win was pretty darn special on Saturday. Made even more special with his kid at QB turning in a record breaking performance, against the odds, to back his dad up. Could not have been a prouder father anywhere. I hope they keep it rolling... crazy made-for-movie storylines like this are why i like CFB so much more than the NFL.

Assuming Coach Prime continues on this trajectory, I wonder what kind of appetite bigger programs would have to bring him in should a vacancy open up.

Same goes for NFL teams.

[SumJongGuy]

What the fuck is there to hate about the Buffs? Seriously.. they cheated bigtime in 1990 but that's about it. Do they even have a major rival? Sanders, dude's a legend.. Go Cowboys! If he can help these kids win... without too much cheating.. good times for them..

CU has a very wealthy, very untapped alumni base... IF they stop being so apathetic they could make things happen.

I also get the impression that Deion truly enjoys teaching and mentoring the college age group, so i dont think the NFL would interest him right now.

[goldenboy]

I think Prime is in it for a while, but I still feel burned by Midnight Mel, so he could bolt at any time.

And what's with this cheating in 1990 shit? The refs screwed up and gave them an extra down, but that isn't cheating.

I'm talking about the hookers and blow recruiting parties. Sorry, my timeline was off.

You're telling me that major college sports programs take potential recruits partying on campus visits? Well, golly gee willikers, im shocked and my sensibilities are shaken!

the rape stuff was the issue. The other stuff is par for the course quite literally everywhere (except maybe stanford).

[SumJongGuy]

^^^Ya but they got caught. Did you hear Reggie Bush wants his Heisman back?

And ya, nobody gives a fuck what they got caught doing 25 years ago.. I pretty much said that.. Go Buffs but don't get caught cheating..

How does reggie bush not have a heisman, but Johnny Fucking Football still does?

Reggie is by all accounts a really good guy, who allowed for his moms rent to be paid. JFF is by all accounts not a nice guy, flaunted the rules and took money JUST so he could party his face off.

With NIL kids get that they can up front. You don't need to pay up front for hummers from fat chicks anymore.

Oklahoma bought Marcus Dupree's mother a fucking house..

Considering a house in Mississippi was about $8k during that era it was money well spent. Marcus Dupree was fucking legit before his injuries.

barring Stanford? You are a fucking moron, the name Brock turner mean anything?

Sat down to watch some football on Saturday, i.e. Tennessee v. Virginia, only to learn that Spectrum and Disney were in a pissing match. No games; only a screen that proclaimed Disney's pricing was outrageous and Spectrum was fighting to hold down costs for their customers, yeah right. And Fubo was a mere $749 for college football.

Any suggestions on other options at the moment?

[BmillsSkier]

Hulu live tv has been working for me (you get all the regular "cable" channels, locals, ESPN channels and Disney stuff) but I'm increasingly irritated as it seems they've been jacking the price of it up by $10 every year and sometimes twice during the year. It's easily double what I paid for it when I first cut the cord.

That said it seems to work really well.
