Louisville just had a fake punt nerfed by a dubious holding call. Still 0-0 and a pretty boring game so far in Raliegh with 7 mins to go in the first
September 29th, 2023 at 7:41 PM ^
End of 1 and we got a barnburner it is still 0-0 in NC
September 29th, 2023 at 7:43 PM ^
Am I the only one watching this game? Maybe
Am I sick and have nothing else to do? Maybe
Am I having fun? You bet ya
September 29th, 2023 at 7:50 PM ^
It appears Louisville left their wide receivers at home because they have not caught anything
September 29th, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
Has anyone seen Brian Ferentz? He may be moonlighting as UofL OC.
September 29th, 2023 at 8:37 PM ^
he’s eating crayons or whatever he does to “prepare” for a game
September 29th, 2023 at 7:56 PM ^
Speaking of weird stuff, Princeton is playing Columbia on ESPNU. Princeton looks like Halloween-version Michigan.
September 29th, 2023 at 8:18 PM ^
Former Princeton football coach Fritz Crisler started using the winged helmet at Princeton in 1935 and he brought the winged helmet to Michigan in 1938. LINK
September 29th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
And as soon as he left, Princeton dropped the winged helmet. They only brought it back 60 years later.
September 29th, 2023 at 8:03 PM ^
And someone finally scores! 7-0 NC State with 6:30 to go in the 2nd
September 29th, 2023 at 8:14 PM ^
A fumble by Louisville and this half couldn't go much worse for them
September 29th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Whew Louisville gets yards but can’t do anything with them. Terrible INT their QB just threw after fumbling the previous drive.
September 29th, 2023 at 8:22 PM ^
Looking forward to Utah Oregon state. Hope rising comes back soon
September 29th, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
Louisville turns it over yet again. Luckily for them NC State has no offense
September 29th, 2023 at 8:27 PM ^
In certainly one of the halves of football that will be played this season, NC State kicks a fg as time expires to lead 10-0 going into halftime
September 29th, 2023 at 8:36 PM ^
Go Utes.
until they play Cal anyways, cuz I’ll be in Rice Eccles with all my Cal gear on.
Cal grad, Utah dad.
ROLL ON YOU BEARS
September 29th, 2023 at 11:27 PM ^
Love it Dr Jaws, my best friend was an all American rugby player at utah, so I have a soft spot for them. With you being a Cal grad Utah Dad what is your M fandom? Michigan native, undergrad, postgrad? Enjoy that game at rice Eccles, it’s a cool stadium!
September 29th, 2023 at 8:51 PM ^
Annnnnnd we're back. Just as you thought NC State was gonna pull away, their QB throws it to absolutely nobody and is intercepted
September 29th, 2023 at 8:57 PM ^
The Louisville - NC State game is dreadful. It's like watching Iowa play Iowa.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:02 PM ^
Can someone tell Jeff Brohm he no longer plays in the big ten west
September 29th, 2023 at 9:03 PM ^
I'm pretty excited about this Oregon State v Utah game
September 29th, 2023 at 9:06 PM ^
It's a disgrace that a game of this magnitude gets the Tim Brando/Spencer Tillman treatment.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:21 PM ^
Agreed. Disrespect
September 29th, 2023 at 9:09 PM ^
holy crap Louisville scored a touchdown. 10-7 NC state
September 29th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
DJ U still can't pass.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:25 PM ^
Louisville and NCSU tied at 10 now! We're all set for an exciting finish
September 29th, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
You cant get me excited for this game
September 29th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
I don't think I can deal with Tim Brando this late at night.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:32 PM ^
Thought the Utah qb had the first down
September 29th, 2023 at 9:39 PM ^
Just when you thought this game couldn't get worse/better, Louisville throws ANOTHER int, this time inside the NC State 10 yard line. Game still tied at 10 in the 4th Qtr
September 29th, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
Woof - that was a dog of a throw. Not a teammate in the vicinity.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
That is an insane call against Utah. WR blatantly pushes off to create the separation and the defense gets called for it.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
UL kicker just made a 53-yarder that would've been good from 60+.
September 29th, 2023 at 9:58 PM ^
In an unexpected display of competence, Louisville kicker drills a 53 yard field goal to take a 13-10 lead over the wolfpack
September 29th, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
How long until Rising returns? This Utah offense is just horrible without him.
September 29th, 2023 at 10:04 PM ^
Utah injuries starting to pile up. Think the CFP chances for the PAC rest with USC, Oregon and Washington.
September 29th, 2023 at 10:10 PM ^
Louisville has a chance to escape with their undefeated record intact. Say what you will about Jeff Brohm and his treatment of chairs, that man can coach
September 29th, 2023 at 10:10 PM ^
Nevermind that was a really stupid playcall
September 29th, 2023 at 10:12 PM ^
Well you hate to end such a bad game on such a questionable call, but ya know
September 29th, 2023 at 10:13 PM ^
That was the weakest running into the kicker penalty in the history of the world.
September 29th, 2023 at 10:19 PM ^
Well that can only be described as fitting
September 29th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
The quick kick by Oregon St. Didn't work this time, but I love that play.
September 29th, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
I still don't particularly understand why Scott Satterfield is Cincy's coach but whatever
September 29th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
UC is the other team I root for and nobody understands why Satterfield is here.
September 29th, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
And running a tight end screen on 4th and 1 with a QB with no touch isn’t exactly answering any of these questions.
September 29th, 2023 at 11:05 PM ^
Been at the local HS homecoming game. Always a good time, but the game was amazing.
Thanks for making this thread so I could catch up. No DVR here 🤷🏼♂️
September 29th, 2023 at 11:15 PM ^
Don't look now but Utah may get right back in this football game
September 29th, 2023 at 11:16 PM ^
Precisely why I told everyone not to look now
September 29th, 2023 at 11:18 PM ^
This Utah offense is worse than Iowa. They should bring in Cade to fix it.
