Tough for football at a Basketball school. Indiana had the same problem and are just now showing some respectability.

Former ISU and NDSU QB Zeb Noland named starter for South Carolina in their opener

3 weeks ago he was a graduate assistant coach.

HAHA! Big game for both programs. This one could go a long way in deciding who is in the champ game.

I will admit, I am nervous about this, given Iowa's soft showings in the first 3 weeks.

Or we will just run the ball down your throat and win by 10.

tarcone · 08-31-2021, 08:02 PM

Hey Kodos, here is one for you. You will enjoy it.

Kansas vs South Dakota
... Friday night (definitely not because this game is the caliber of a high quality high school matchup)
... on ESPN+ (after they've succeeded in breaking up the conference)
... in the only game we'll be favored to win all year.

tarcone · 09-02-2021, 10:03 PM

I LOVE college football. Im watchnig Minny/tOSU and at half a jumped to Boise St. v UCF . That was one of the coolest starts too a football game ever.

HerRealName · 09-02-2021, 10:12 PM

Can I get a sanity check on that penalty for roughing the passer/blow to the head? I guess he put himself in position where the call could be made but that was light from my homer point of view.

Welcome to 2021, where this is roughing the passer. pic.twitter.com/qO1yS3Nl3T

sovereignstar v2 · 09-02-2021, 10:29 PM

2021? That has been roughing for quite awhile now.

jbergey22 · 09-02-2021, 10:50 PM

Yup, that has been being called for years now. That headline would have worked better if it had said 2005.

HerRealName · 09-02-2021, 10:56 PM

I don't think it gets called 9 times out of 10 but Minnesota was called for a pretty light unnecessary roughness on the next drive so I guess it evened out. Minnesota is playing tough football out there - hopefully Ibrahim is ok.

sovereignstar v2 · 09-02-2021, 11:00 PM

Ibrahim probably done for season (Achilles). Fuck me sideways

Damn, that sucks. That was one hell of a performance. I thought for sure it was something like turf toe. My brothers and I have been calling him Good Mike Hart all game.

NobodyHere · 09-02-2021, 11:38 PM

Dat targeting non-call though...

I have to agree with the announcers on that one. It should've been a penalty but w/o the player being thrown out of part of the next game.

sovereignstar v2 · 09-02-2021, 11:40 PM

Different rules for different teams.

sovereignstar v2 · 09-02-2021, 11:45 PM

I didn't think it was possible to hate Gus Johnson anymore than I already did. Totally unfair for the defender to miss a game for that while the receiver will be in concussion protocol.

jbergey22 · 09-02-2021, 11:49 PM

Ibrahim is such a beast. That makes be sick. Can only hope its a calf muscle strain and not his achilles.

The Gophers secondary was the difference. Can't cover and can't tackle. I thought Morgan looked solid tonight.

And not even review it. BS

spleen1015 · 09-04-2021, 03:16 PM

If Penn State's QB could hit a wide open receiver they'd be up 31-10.

Yeah, learn how to friggin lead a guy.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-04-2021, 03:29 PM

College football is definitely back.

The phrase "right call by rule, but a horrible rule" can now return to our vocabulary for several months.

Ksyrup · 09-04-2021, 03:34 PM

I know it was only ULM, but it was odd watching UK play with a QB who can throw the ball downfield. Levis and Robinson are going to be 2 impactful transfers this year. Glad to see Robinson back home. He went top HS about 15 miles from here but went to Nebraska and then got out of the sh!tshow to come back to Lexington.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-04-2021, 03:37 PM

Big 12 may get OU back after this.

Ksyrup · 09-04-2021, 03:40 PM

Ksyrup · 09-04-2021, 07:53 PM

Someone explain why college coaches play for 45+ yard FGs? I'd rather throw a pick trying to get into real makeable FG range than run the ball for 2 yards with 20 seconds left and run it down to call TO and take your chances from that far out.

JPhillips · 09-04-2021, 08:00 PM

I know there's a lot of season left, but damned if it doesn't look like Alabama and everyone else already.

Ksyrup · 09-04-2021, 08:51 PM

Kirby Smart coaches like he's a 20-point underdog trying to avoid being blown out, even though he has a blue chip roster.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-04-2021, 09:01 PM

Georgia Tech off to a rip roarin' start I see

Ksyrup · 09-04-2021, 09:02 PM

There is not enough money in the world to entice me to do this.

Well, that’s one way to savor the delicious flavor of Duke’s Mayo… pic.twitter.com/vUz61SLVDH

I like mayo, but I gotta at least have pickles. Or cheese sticks.

GrantDawg · 09-04-2021, 09:17 PM

Even if Georgia wins, I am still not eating Duke's Mayo.
