    CFB is back! I’ll try to follow along closer this season - had to take a bit of a hiatus last year because life got in the way.

    Week 0 feels a little lackluster this year… I don’t even recognize the broadcast crew on this Ireland game

      I was thinking similarly about week 0 - not a whole lot of games this weekend (in 1-A at least), and not really any matchups that are particularly interesting.

      Welcome back! It felt a little empty without Texas.

      No real matchups, but I’m excited to be done talking about court proceedings (hopefully). Although that said I am genuinely curious about Memphis @ UNLV

    I’ve had some of the FCS games on in the background while getting work done over the past few days, but I can’t wait for the Ireland game kickoff.

    NMSU @ FSU

    I was expecting to turn this off early but New Mexico State is playing surprisingly well

      Didn’t watch all of it. Glad I didn’t. Sonny can’t get these guys disciplined to save his life, even when they’re otherwise playing well, which they did not today. Gary Patterson’s legacy gets safer by the loss and it looks like it’s even starting to claim a higher proportion of the playoff year.

      More generally, I’m having trouble getting motivated to see this year’s crops of transfers. Get that bag, boys, but I don’t necessarily want to watch, at least not quite so enthusiastically. The season will probably worm its way into taking up my time, but watching the teams and fans get to know each other in August and September is not great viewing.

      I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the NFL feels like the purer experience right now.

      Yeah you can tell the defense doesn’t know how to tackle early, but the shamrock in the toad’s mouth is a great touch

      "He does everything they say

      The right way"

      Announcers in Ireland writing bars.

      Reminder: 15 seconds after the QB falls down, but him again to make sure he’s down.

      That’s just smart football.

      Yeah, Ireland is weird like that. You have to look both ways to cross the street. 🤪

      Both teams are struggling to catch. I know it’s raining, but so many misses.

    I can’t wait for next week when, according to Dabo, the refs cause Clemson to lose to LSU.

      Wow, UVA is on fire. Hope this is a sign of good fortune for orange teams this season

      I actually really like P Lew, not sure why we let him transfer. I’m guessing he didn’t want to sit behind Bishop, but we’ve always had at least a little bit of rb by committee under Heup.

      ESPN, never ever cut to the ref hat camera again.

      Or, as I will now call it, the motion sickness vomit cam.

    Seeing the horned frog hand signal reminds me. Not every program needs a gang sign, I personally hate the “Vol” hand sign.

        Genuinely this is a decent game, but brian kelly can’t even not be an asshole as a color commentary guy in the booth

    Welp, no one is going perfect in this week’s pick 'em. Congrats c/cfb, we made it 0 games into the season undefeated.
