Are you ready for some football??

[grasswire]

Looking forward to watching my beloved Ducks Saturday!!

QUACK!

Who else has college ball on the schedule this weekend?

[Rhythm]

1. The Mountaineers of WVU have a scrimmage... er...

We play Marshall. *L*

Noon kickoff, and i'll be working in downtown Morgantown later in the evening as we celebrate giving the Thundering Herd yet another thrashing in this made-up rivalry.

[grasswire]

2. so who won? n/t

[Rhythm]

8. Um... that would be US... 69-34

By the end of the game, i swear they were putting in the 5th-string walk-ons, the waterboys, and the tuba player from row 17 seat 5.

Geno Smith (our senior quarterback) is supposedly in the running for Heisman consideration... if he can put up numbers like he did today when we get to playing teams like Oklahoma and Texas (this is our first season in the Big 12), he'll get more than just 'consideration'.

9. Mountaineers were great yesterday.

Special teams need to improve. Kickoff team seems much better than last year but extra point and punting not so much.

[Rhythm]

10. Can't believe Bittencurt missed that first PaT...

Just sort of cringed...

And yeah, special teams are going to have to step up before we hit the in-conference games.
Bit i think we're looking at a pretty good year!

[Lasher]

11. This could be the year to win the national championship.

We have the talent. We just need to make it happen.

[Rhythm]

16. I'm with you there...

[taterguy]

3. No

[Honeycombe8]

4. Not me. But my dog Roy loves football. And baseball. And basketball.

And tennis and golf. Anything with a ball. Seriously. He can see that they're playing on TV with balls...and that's his favorite toy...his ball. He runs up to the TV and barks and barks, when they throw the ball.

I, OTOH, plan to watch movies for my TV.

5. My Seminoles won

69-3

Poor Murray State.

[ohiosmith]

6. Buckeyes won, Michigan's getting punked. All is well!

[bamademo]

15. You may thank Mr. Saban of the Crimson Tide for that.

Roll Tide.

[fishwax]

7. Ducks are off to a great start!

My Sooners, not so much. (Down 7-0 to UTEP in the first quarter :wtf

[Arugula Latte]

12. To be honest, no.

If I could never see nor hear anything about American football ever again I'd be a happy woman.

[LWolf]

13. I didn't have to watch.

One of my colleagues, an alumnus, will give me the minute by minute, play by play report of the Ducks' game at work on Tuesday. Whether I want to hear it or not.

If they lost, it will be shorter and crankier.

[mrmpa]

14. i went to a College Division III game yesterday..........

the Wittenberg University Tigers 44 the Capital University Crusaders 17. Both schools are in Ohio. Wittenberg has lost only 2 games in the past 3 years.

I play favorites, my nephew is an offensive lineman for Wittenberg.

I was happy to see Penn State and Pitt lose. I was glad to see WVU win, but WVU and Marshall should meet later in the season. It's an inner state rivalry and should be played in true autumn.

17. I believe that mantra, "Are you ready for some football?" was for the NFL.....not college.

but yes, I am looking forward to both the Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers football. A tad nervous about the reining MVP though.....he didn't show me a whole lot during the pre-season....and I know it was only preseason, but, My beloved Mr. Wilson of Wisconsin is the starting QB for Seattle for the seahags, ooops, I mean the Seahawks. Have never liked Seattle, but have to change my tune now because of both Russell Wilson and Matt Flynn. Yup gonna be a great season.....and I can't wait.
