Good for Syracuse for beating them into submission. Auburn v LSU is a pretty darn good game. Both teams are pretty good. Our coach is bad but our offensive line is worse.

Good for Syracuse for beating them into submission. Let's discuss this. I was at the game. Not all of this post is responsive to your post, BTW. And for the record, I dislike both teams. I just wanted to take my dad to a major college football game. (I guess it wasn't that "major," because the stadium was only 2/3 full.) First. How the F does an enclosed stadium named after the guy who invented air conditioning NOT HAVE AC? HOLY F*CK do you have any idea how hot it was in there? Any? I never will go back. I felt like a tomato in a greenhouse. And I was with my dad who was well into his 70s this morning and now is 93. F*ck that stadium. I drank a half gallon of water in two hours and didn't piss. Think on that one. I had to change undershirt and boxers before I got into the car to go home; the ones I was wearing were soaked. WTF is with a dome in Upstate anyway? Cold is an advantage! And if you're going to name it after Carrier, F*CKING AIR CONDITION IT. Ass*oles. Coaching: You do realize that however bad FSU's coaches were, Syracuse's were worse, right? Their play-calling was so tame that it looked like Marrone. The only thing that saved the Orange is that their starter got hurt and a QB with a set stepped up. And I"m betting that he ignored his coaches at least once. The refs were the worst I ever have seen. For both sides. I think they called a 10-yard penalty for cross-checking at one point. And the guys with the "sticks"? OMG laughable. At least five times in the first half, they had to be told where to go and what to do. Florida State's D should be ashamed with the fake injuries. It was worse than Spanish soccer. It's bad enough that they major in "shapes and colors" at that "school"; there's no need to go full Patriot-cheat. Anyway. My dad, being who he is, laid a C on Syracuse, and I'm glad he won; I'm even gladder for our night together last night and our day together today. But SU still sucks for the tuition price (sorry man, but truth), that stadium is BS, and wow, 2/3 full for Florida State. Nice job, there, SU.

Only been in the Dome once for a bounceyball game in February. Didn't notice the lack of AC. :p Glad the rest of your evening/day were good.

GASabresIUFAN Posted September 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2018 Went to UGA vs Middle Tenn St. 90000+. Do I need to say more. UGA in another romp. Next stop at Mizzou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marions Piazza Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 I married into a Buckeye famliy, and since I never cared about college football, they have become 'my team'. Going to my first college game next Saturday with my father in law whose never been to one either. Probably going to be a blowout as they play Tulane. It'll be fun to be there, but, the result will likely be one of the reasons I never really watched much NCAA, the 50-60 point blowouts that happen regularly.

GASabresIUFAN Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Fromm is interesting. I think he is a victim of play calling at this point. He looked much better in the second half against USC once they started calling the full offense. They were trying to run out the clock from the first play this week. Hard to evaluate him when they only occasionally bring out the full offense. Next week will be a much better barometer of where he is at vs a decent Mizzou team. Mizzou’s O should keep them in it for a while and we’ll likely get to see the full offense. GA’s real weapons are the 7 deep wr group. I have a feeling they will turn the Mizzou game into a track meet. I did like that they added the jet sweep last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up going to games at the rock pile and st Rich Stadium. Frankly, I’d much rather watch GA play MTSU in Athens or see OSU play Tulane in the horseshoe then go to any pro game. The atmosphere in a college town is just so much more fun. You will have great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have great time. This is the second year that i have been really following college football, i really enjoy the close games. This weekend's OSU-TCU game was incredible. i am sure the atmosphere will be pretty awesome, we are getting to Columbus about 2.5 hours before the game starts, lunch and drinks, maybe find a tailgate to hangout in.

Sabel79 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 Virginia Tech losing to Old Dominion is probably the best thing that will happen to me all weekend... it's almost as funny as the time they somehow lost to JMU...

PromoTheRobot Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Curious. Nothing about UB. You guys know there are 4-0, averaging 40pts/gm, and have a QB and WR who are 1st Rd draft prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Georgia played a mistake filled mess of a game but still won. I'd hate to be at their practices this week.

I know that Rutgers is not a real Big 10 team and that UB could not beat the normal also-rans of the real Big 10. I know that even if we go 12-0, we will not be invited to the playoff. I know that even at 4-0, we will not fill the stadium for most if not all games this year. I do know better. Thanks.

LGR4GM Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Speaking of UB, they play Army this week and that will be a big challenge I think. If they beat Army they might deserve to be ranked 25th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of a lopsided loss to Duke, Army has been in or won the other 3 games including a close loss at Oklahoma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
