August 31 General College Football Thread

It all starts at 5:30 with Bama vs. VPI, where there is great drama as to whether the castrated turkeys can score.

Once that bludgeoning goes to half, there’s one of those weird early season games that I suspect might wind up being kinda fun – Wazzu at Auburn. Mike Leach is always entertaining, more so than him timeslot made (Bobby Petrino making his WKU debut at Kentucky).

Of course, 8:00 brings us gold in the form of Georgia at Clemson. Already salivating over that one, which likely means it will be sloppy and boring. Staggered nicely behind at 9:00, LSU and TCU in Jerry World. Les Miles just has to end up coaching the Cowboys under JJ, doesn’t he? Hilarity would most certainly ensue.

For the true junkie and insomniac (guilty on both fronts), late night brings Boise State at Washington, and Northwestern at Cal. Both could be pretty interesting.

Enjoy!!

    Agreed. Always a great atmosphere at Clemson. Very SEC-like.

    UGA’s cheerleaders doing their part to add to the atmospherics. Much appreciated.

    Track meet om the Plains. 21-15, been 3 TDs in like the last 7 minutes of real time.

    If you saw Clemson touch the rock tonight you understand why they can recruit so well in north Carolina

  5. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:28 PM #

    Both teams have the energy of Hell’s Angels on meth and mescaline.

    Glory, glory Georgia.

    ABC did a great job with the build up.

  7. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:32 PM #

    Aubie scores again. 22-21

  8. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:33 PM #

    Georgia can f-cking tackle, dudes.

  9. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:35 PM #

    And Clemson is FAST.

  10. Wulfpack 08/31/2013 at 8:36 PM #

    Clemson looks phenomenal. Great start.

  11. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:39 PM #

    I don’t think they’ll be “pulling a Clemson” this year. Unbeaten entering the South Carolina game. I would kinda like to see them play Bama, interesting contrast of styles.

  12. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:42 PM #

    Wow. Didn’t see that coming. Wow.

  13. LRM 08/31/2013 at 8:43 PM #

    Gurley is from Tarboro too. Just one of many we’ve let get out of the state.

  14. Pack78 08/31/2013 at 8:44 PM #

    Gurley for a 75-yd. Dawg TD…got a lot of quicks. CF today was the hottest that I can remember…shade in the 2nd half on the west side upper deck, east side in the sun all day (where most of the early clearing took place) must have been a hotbox.

  15. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:46 PM #

    If you were from Tarboro, wouldn’t you want to get out of this state too?

    We would have a better shot at keeping more kids if we weren’t a bottom feeder in a garbage league. Hopefully on our way of ditching at least the bottom feeder aspect (I would like to ditch both).

  16. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:47 PM #

    Punch, counterpunch. Lather, rinse, repeat.

  17. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:51 PM #

    VPI QB final line: 5-26, 59 yards and a pick six. Wow

  18. Wulfpack 08/31/2013 at 8:54 PM #

    The Hokie D kept it from being an embarrassment. Throw in 2 special team TDs they gave up to Bama. Not a bad showing at all. Offensively, they are beyond horrible. Thomas is not the answer. Tough times in Blacksburg.

    What a game this is.

  19. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 8:59 PM #

    Gutsy call and a really tough assed run.

  20. vtpackfan 08/31/2013 at 8:59 PM #

    Marshall from Millbrook-right?

  21. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 9:00 PM #

    Best opening weekend ever, or best opening weekend ever?

  22. BJD95 08/31/2013 at 9:02 PM #

    I suggest Eastern WA and OR State for your commercial flipping option (43-39 in the 4th).

  23. Gowolves 08/31/2013 at 9:05 PM #

    Yes Marshall is from Millbrook. Am I a bad person to want Johnny d bag to get drilled in the ear hole?

  24. Wulfpack 08/31/2013 at 9:10 PM #

    Nope. That kid is a self absorbed idiot and Sumlin wants to take his head off. He is going to get rocked this year as a marked man.

  25. vtpackfan 08/31/2013 at 9:19 PM #

    Can’t believe Clemson hired our DB coach. Hope that don’t have Miami on the schedule.
