Anyone have any thoughts on WSU -7.5 at home against Rutgers?

I'd feel better about that line if it weren't summer in Pullman.

I haven't really paid attention to the lines since I'm not doing a pick em this year but I do remember seeing this one and not knowing what to think about the game.

A&M vs. ntU$C kicks off at 3?
Work meeting @3
FML

Oh, and fuck ASU

15 minutes till real live big time college football!!

Should be 7-0 A&M already. Glad I canceled my bet at the last second....

I'm kinda pissed that the headliner game is NOT on ESPN.

I get it, but still.

No I don't have the SECN. I have too many weekends away for work between now and dec, so I didn't reup my cable package and multisport pack. May need to reevaluate this decision.

Love SEC defense.

I know, right. ESPN is going to make Hill the second coming of Tebow/Manziel. Hill is having all day to throw (zero pressure, like 2012 Arizona like) and wide open receivers.

First game on the SEC network and everybody can see it. Pac-12 network on for over 2 years and nobody east of Disneyland has a chance.

Looks like the old ball coach is in some trouble.

400 yards and 31 points in the first half against a top 10 SEC team defense.



toughest league in america.

Boise St. wearing their Syracuse knockoff jerseys for this game.

Helmets look cool though.

SEC SEC SEC top of the line defense in south carolina already has given up 460 yards and 38 points at home to a texas a&m qb in his first ever start...and there's still 1 1/2 quarters to go.

Let's just all be thankful that Kevin Sumlin is not at USC.

Amen

Should we start a Kyle Allen transfer countdown? Hill is just a sophomore.

And Kyler Murray coming in.

Trent Dilfer convinced Kyle Allen to pick TAMU over UCLA because at UCLA, Asiantii Woulard would have been a class ahead of him. Allen should sue.

where could allen end up then? hill has that job locked down this year and next year at least.

ASU is a pretty good bet. But Kelly is a senior, so there's a gap there and a chance for someone who is eligible next year to lock down the spot, leaving Allen out in the cold yet again.

Nice run Rutgers.

Is anyone watching the Rutgers vs. wash state game. if so it 21 to 10 in second Qtr.

There winning 17 to 0 last I check.

I meant ASU is a good bet for where Kyle Allen might land.

Tempe 21 - Vandy 7 at halftime.

Also WTF is with Vandy's 11pm local time kick off? On the Thursday!

It was a 915 kickoff but there was lightning in the area that delayed the game until almost 11. Game won't end until after 2 am there.

TONS of sharp money came in on Temple. The line moved from Temple +17 all the way to +8 or so before kickoff. This is not as shocking a result as it looks. Temple has a good veteran team.

34-7 temple. Vanderbilt is back to being Vanderbilt now that Franklin is gone. They had their back to back 9 win seasons and now back to 3 a year.

Let's also remember that Vanderbilt's new offensive coordinator is... Karl Dorrell.

In retrospect, Temple was the best moneyline bet we will see all season.

Our next week opponent is on USPNU vs Houston now.

Just as a point of reference. Paul Myerberg from the USA Today college football countdown had UTSA at 60 and Huston at 38. I hope they can pull it out, it will look better when Arizona wins =).

Why in the world is the Penn St. game kicking off at 8:30am ET? Who is going to watch that?

They are playing in Ireland against ucf. Shamrock series. For some reason they decided the game should start at 130 pm in Dublin.

I was at the game tonight. UTSA destroyed Houston. Their D is good.

I forgot about the Ireland game. That makes the start time even stranger if it's only 1:30 there.

utsa is going to a much much tougher game. very experienced and hungry defense that is pretty good. 19 senior starters, sold out road game in a dome...we have to bring our A game for sure.

Penn state cougs it against ucf

Then ucf cougs it right back

ahh so happy. Like 10 games on tv now


Btw anyone else see corso drinking a beer with Steve Austin? Lol

navy up 7-6 on Ohio St at halftime.

wofford up on georgia tech. northern iowa up on iowa. youngstown state only down 1 to illinois.

N Dakota St up 3 at the half over Iowa St.

Navy's unis look pretty cool.

Is Duke playing the dude who started the Tesla electric car company?

14-13 Midshipman nearing the end of the 3rd quarter.

Go Navy!

interestingly...i remembered neither us nor asu play northern arizona this year. this is the first time since 2001 that neither school has played NAU.
