Should have started it Thursday. What's on tap today? I'm not sure what the plans are yet so hopefully I can spend a good part of the day watching games.

Speight picked on first throw of the season.

Good times.

Great minds SRC

I know it's petty and kind of pathetic, but I really would like Michigan to lose this game.

by Guest 2016-09-03, 12:09

Oklahoma Houston and Michigan Hawaii right now.

Bowling Green goes up on OSU 7-0 in the shoe after a Barrett pick 6.

Over tOSU

Oklahoma looking good. Although so did we on our 1st drive. :(

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2016-09-03, 12:20

JTB with a bomb, tied up 7-7.

Weasels go up 7-0 behind the arms of Wilson Phillips.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2016-09-03, 12:52

Checking out Western. Just read Daniel Braverman got cut by the bears. 7th round pick, left early. Damn... This would have been a scary good offense with him, Davis, Franklin, Terrell and that little back all returning.

by **SeeRockCity** 2016-09-03, 12:56

Move along, nothing to see here. Queuing up the 3:30 slate...

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2016-09-03, 12:59

Oklahoma and Houston is shaping up to be a good one.

by **Tim Wakefield** 2016-09-03, 13:02

Is it my shitty tv or is the scoreboard blocked on ABC?

by **Tim Wakefield** 2016-09-03, 13:05

Pretty much just woke up. Shouldn't have drank so much yesterday but I was pissed. Raging hangover. Football should help

Got these bets in over the past week:
Houston +11
Northwestern -6
Rutgers +24

What were you pissed about?

by **kingstonlake** 2016-09-03, 13:09

Knew scUM was gonna cover. They HAVE to prove something. They NEED to prove something, Jordan there, Hawaii on world tour jet lag. Meanwhile MSU and OSU know when it's time to prove something and it's not in September.

Peppers gets beat one on one badly twice by a slot receiver. Not a word by the announcers.

enjoying this OU/Houston game first half

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2016-09-03, 13:45

The athletes on OSU....just ridiculous.

by **Travis of the Cosmos** 2016-09-03, 13:45

Halftime of the Houston Oklahoma game...."Do the Wolverines have what it takes to dethrone Ohio state?"

Sigh.

The hype train is at levels I don't ever recall seeing.

Mark May saying they're a CFB team. This for a team that hasn't won a conference title in 12 years.

I'm still trying to figure out what they're going to dethrone OSU from.... 2nd in the east and the fiesta bowl? If they meant the big ten championship, well, they've already been dethroned. I got a coffee mug last night that says that on it and everything.

This years coffee mugs are sweet you guys. Much better than last years.

My favorite was his "you didn't hear anything about OSU this summer, all you heard about was harbs and scum"

And last I checked games are won in 3 places, summer isn't one of them

Houston is good.

I listened to that shit too. "Michigan is poised to take OSU's crown." What crown is that?

Houston is legit

Yup. Tom Herman is a 3rd down conversion machine. 4 conversions on that drive. Remember OSU against us in '14? It was like they couldn't do anything wrong on 3rd down. He's gonna get paid soon

by **Watch Out Pylon!** 2016-09-03, 14:48

Oklahoma playing kinda shitty.

I know everyone likes the idea of Narduzzi coming back but Herman would be an interesting fit as a potential replacement for CMD. Unfortunately, career trajectory implies he'll get a shot at an elite program long before that could happen.

I think Houston might be primed to dethrone Oklahoma

He's gonna take over a big time program sooner rather than later. I don't want him anywhere near a Big Ten program. Pure speculation, but if/when PSU shits the bed this year do they throw the bank at him?

It's early, but I suspect anyone with a coaching opening will be throwing the bank at him after this season.

I think we should just rename it what it really is:
Everything
Harbaugh
Sports
Network

Minus well. Hate to say it but I think PSU would make him a good offer.

I thought they might be tired from rowing all the way to Evanston from South Haven.
