Man what in the fuck? Someone slap that bitch he needs to win this fuckin game for us!
August 31st, 2017 at 6:35 PM ^
The stadium is jam packed with dozens upon dozens of people.
UGH
I love college football and will watch just about any game, but these games with quiet and small crowds are tough to really get into.

He usually does. The guy is not biased like many think. On his radio show? Sure, of course he is sometimes, but he is playing to his audience, which is mostly OSU fans. Kirk is the best in the business.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:36 PM ^
You're stealing my "schtick" and I'm not sure how I feel about it.
No seriously, I'm glad someone else can be objective about it. He's NOT a homer by any stretch and part of the reason he moved to Tennessee was he was getting harassed by OSU fans because he wasn't a homer enough.
He does a great job, provides solid analysis...much better than many here give him credit for. He's not afraid to show Michigan love.
Now OSU is going to be good this year, we know this, so he's going to show them some love...we just need to prepare ourselves now.
They're good, they deserve the hype. Doesn't mean we can't and won't beat them in November...we're pretty damn good too!
August 31st, 2017 at 6:48 PM ^
Hopefully tonight "FIRRRST DOOOOWN HOOOOSSSIERS" will sound less annoying tonight since they are playing OSU.
August 31st, 2017 at 6:56 PM ^
OK, so I have a question about viewing but don't want to start a new thread that will push off one of WDs apparel threads.
I have PS VUE, so how does one watch games on ABC/ESPN such as M-Fla Saturday? will it be an option on the ESPNwatch APP? Will it be available on one of the ESPN channels since PS isn't a "regional" feed that has mirrored viewing fro ABC games?
August 31st, 2017 at 7:00 PM ^
August 31st, 2017 at 7:15 PM ^
my area doesn't carry abc local on VUE. Looks like the rabbit ears are the way to go then
August 31st, 2017 at 7:27 PM ^
Watch ESPN might work, too.

WHAT IS URBAN DOING TO THAT BOX?
August 31st, 2017 at 7:16 PM ^
Gameday feature on The Horror?
Bando covers his eyes and ears, runs and hides under couch. NOPE.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
ESPN just cannot seem to let it go. That happened ten years ago.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:27 PM ^
Well it is the 10th anniversary...
August 31st, 2017 at 7:49 PM ^
And that is supposed to mean something?
August 31st, 2017 at 7:59 PM ^

Meyer is 61-6 in six years. Fucking insane. Must be really nice to have walked into a dynasty that Tressel built. I have to imagine that he would not have that great of a record if it were not for Tressel.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
August 31st, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
Urban's a great coach. A frustratingly great coach. He took over a monster Tressel program (with a 6-7 Fickell season in between), but it's not like he's sleepwalking out there.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:39 PM ^
August 31st, 2017 at 7:54 PM ^
I am well aware that Meyer is great. Also, that 6-7 season had absolutely no effect on OSU's dynasty. I'm simply saying that what Tressel built gave Meyer a severe advantage.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
I LOVE the first Thursday night kicking off the season. A delicious appetizer of real college football before Saturday gets things going in full. Didn't even mind when it was Michigan playing, except of course for the result.
It's weird hearing Twin Cities radio talk about the start of the season... 11 days from now. They're referring to the NFL, of course, but football begins this weekend.
(Nice TD for Minnie, wonder how repeatable that kind of play is in real competition though. BTW that stripe is a bad look.)

NFL has kind of made it a drag, though. Thursday used to have some reasonably substantial college games; now they have NFL games that nobody likes for most of the season. And the NFL games are bad, in part because they actually have a shorter week than college teams do (playing Sundays instead of Saturdays) to recover and prepare.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:30 PM ^
Starting for Central. Good to see him play
August 31st, 2017 at 7:31 PM ^
This kid from UCF has 339 yards passing...
...in the 1st half.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:35 PM ^
Watching Lee Corso tonight is painful, but in the end, he is one of the biggest faces of College Football.
I think after this year he should stop doing the show full time, and he should just be on the show for one segment and then the Saturday Selections to give his picks (along with headgear for the last one of course). Just seems to be a sensible solution.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:38 PM ^
Shane Morris not having a great outing with CMU against Rhode Island. Cincinnati stuggling with Autin Peay.
Gohpers are doing ok against Buffalo, but only up 7-0.
August 31st, 2017 at 7:38 PM ^
August 31st, 2017 at 7:38 PM ^
That receiver for Buffalo just dominated the Minny DB Tarik Black style two plays in a row
August 31st, 2017 at 7:39 PM ^
Buffalo ties up Minnesota - really beating up on their secondary (but making some amazing catches too).
August 31st, 2017 at 7:39 PM ^
August 31st, 2017 at 7:40 PM ^
August 31st, 2017 at 7:41 PM ^
I'm going to be annoyed if Michigan can't pass as precisely Saturday as Buffalo did on that last drive. But, probably, not surprised. Alas.

Kinda hoping Fleck gets exposed big time up in Minneapolis. I made the mistake of watching all of that Being PJ Fleck show on ESPN, and gosh is this guy a high school coach in a college position. It's like someone automated every bad motivational coach catchphrase into an otherwise blank human being, pumped them full of Red Bull, and shoved them on the sideline.
