Which Games to Watch Tonight?
Wondering which games you guys/galls are watching, and which ones you may think have implications on M's road to glory?
I may watch Fickle just because of his recent correspondence with Harbaugh (hope Fickle takes a dive).
Seeing Clemson go down in week 1 would be nice; but the chances of that seem slight.
Happy 2-days until football! Go Blue!

Holy War for sure. That will probably be one of the better games of the entire weekend. BYU hasn't won since like 2009 but every game in that series has been close recently.
Obviously will check out UCLA game since that will be on primetime. Don't waste your time with Clemson/GT.
EDIT: Minnesota also has a tough FCS game at 9. South Dakota State lost in the FCS semi-finals last year to NDSU.
EDIT #2: Before anyone gets too amped up for Clemson/GT, you should probably double check that you are getting ACC Network. Comcast isn't carrying it at all nationally and Spectrum isn't carrying it this week for "out of market" zones.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
Yeah, don't sleep on this game. Minnesota is 16 point favorite, but SoDak St. is a good squad and will have a lot of fans in the house.
August 29th, 2019 at 2:44 PM ^
Univ of East Dakota vs South Dakota State Univ
August 29th, 2019 at 12:37 PM ^
Close game probably, but should be a showcase for the 2019 Pac-12 champ.
August 29th, 2019 at 3:19 PM ^
CFBStreams on Reddit FTW, if you want to see Clemson/GA Tech.
August 29th, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
I will be watching the UCLA vs UC game. 3 1/2 hours of listening to Pat Mac can make any game enjoyable.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:21 PM ^
What game is Keith Jackson doing this weekend?
August 29th, 2019 at 1:26 PM ^
Man, I don't know how to break the news to you, not an easy way to do it. But Keith has finally passed away, he's enjoying all his woah nellies in heaven.
I will be here for you if you need to talk.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:48 PM ^
What happened? Did he choke on some canned gravy?
August 29th, 2019 at 1:56 PM ^
Rick and Morty female planet. Female gazorpazorps.
Im here if you need to talk.
August 29th, 2019 at 11:54 AM ^
Utah-BYU for sure
August 29th, 2019 at 11:56 AM ^
I hope UCLA puts a BIG BRUIN BASHING on the BEARCATS and that a UCLA defense man "accidentally" runs over that corrupt lying POS Fickle and knocks him out cold. :)
August 29th, 2019 at 5:03 PM ^
But then we'll be cheering for Cincinnati next weekend. Luckily I can change my non Michigan allegiance quickly and guilt free from week to week.
August 29th, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
Definitely will be watching the UCLA Cincy game. I doubt Clemson GT will be close at all, but could be interesting to see how Clemson looks. BYU Utah is late, but could end up being the most interesting game of the night. Just excited to have games to watch. Don't care if any of them are actually good games.
August 29th, 2019 at 11:57 AM ^
UCLA-Cincinnati might be interesting. Has UCLA turned a corner under Chip Kelly? If they have another bad year, you have to wonder if the game has passed him by.
The other one, for those of us who are taking the day off tomorrow and will be up late, is Utah-BYU. Utah is being talked about as the favorite in the Pac-12 South and a dark horse in the playoff race, but BYU usually fields pretty good teams and its a rivalry game.
Don't care about Texas State-Texas A&M, and Ga Tech is in for a rude awakening in Death Valley tonight. First year head coach teaching a brand new scheme that is a complete 180 to what his current personnel have known, going up against the defending national champions on the road and against maybe the best player in football right now. That game will be over by halftime, if not sooner. The only thing Tech has going for it is there is essentially no film on them, so it'll be a little bit of guesswork on Clemson's part when they go out on defense.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:57 PM ^
Ga Tech is in for a rude awakening in Death Valley tonight.
I had no idea that Clemson called their stadium "death valley." They should play LSU for the rights to the name.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:08 PM ^
Odd. Pretty sure it’s been called Death Valley for years. But yeah I know who would win a fight between LSU and Clemson.....
August 29th, 2019 at 1:11 PM ^
I've actually been to Clemson's campus too. None of the faculty referred to it as such. It was always "Memorial Stadium."
August 29th, 2019 at 1:22 PM ^
Both schools have laid claim to that name. Don't know who said it first. Good thing both stadiums aren't called Tiger Stadium or else there'd be real confusion.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:23 PM ^
Does the loser get to keep the name Tigers?
August 29th, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
No. Loser has to have Brady Hoke as HC.
August 29th, 2019 at 3:01 PM ^
Have yet to turn the corner. But, you have to believe UCLA will give him 4 years. They have struggled mightily, which I can’t understand for the life giving their location and access to incredible talent.
side note, UCLA has the colleat alumni event center in Lake Arrowhead. Unreal
August 29th, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
The Clemson game is a conference game involving the number 1 team in the country so I will watch that until there is no reason to watch it anymore.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:01 PM ^
so I will watch that until there is no reason to watch it anymore
So, you're turning the channel halfway through the 1st quarter?
August 29th, 2019 at 1:24 PM ^
Yes.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
UCLA-Cincy for the 7pm slot (With eyes on Albany-CMU. Im an EMU fan and CMU looked bad last year. Beat their FCS team 17-5 in 2018. They finally have a legit QB in Dormandy, going to be interesting how they look in year 1 of McElwain)
3 late games I would like to keep an eye on. Obviously the Holy War is the big one, but SDSU-Minny is at 9 and Kent State-ASU is at 10. Don't think Kent State wins, but I think they keep it closer than the 24 point spread. As a MACtion man, I am a big believer in KSU QB Woody Barrett.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:54 PM ^
Fire up Chips!!!!
August 29th, 2019 at 2:02 PM ^
Whats your prediction for the season?
August 29th, 2019 at 12:08 PM ^
All of them!
August 29th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
UC and UCLA then flip between that and Minnesota when their game starts. Once UC/UCLA is done I'll flip between Utah/BYU and the Minnesota game.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
M's road to glory is in their own hands. Win the game Saturday. Then move on and win the next game.
Tonight is all about the Beavers. It don't rain on the Beavers......The Beavers Reign !!
August 29th, 2019 at 12:12 PM ^
To answer your question in the first statement of the OP - No. I am not wondering what everyone is watching.
I will be watching all that are on tv, though.
EDIT: I am just so glad ? is back. Last weekend was fine and both games were entertaining, but now it’s time for the main feast to begin. I am also off tomorrow, so I’ll be staying awake late for all of the games. I am very excited. I really enjoy the Thursday night football experience (Friday, too).
August 29th, 2019 at 12:48 PM ^
Wondering if that thing you're doing is kind of annoying?

You answered his question in the first statement? If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, I hope you're at least wearing Doc Martin boots.
August 29th, 2019 at 3:13 PM ^
FYI... you answered a question that wasn't even asked WOW! No wonder you get NegBanged all the time.

Pretty early to bring this out, but ...
Quit drinking and go to bed.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
Fickle Fickell.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:29 PM ^
Watching UCLA. I have Asiasi on my fantasy team as my TE.
August 29th, 2019 at 1:05 PM ^
Does the presence of Fickell mean there is a also an AssyAssy involved in the game?
August 29th, 2019 at 12:33 PM ^
Are we making fun of Luke Fickell or are we just bad at spelling the former coach of our biggest rival?
August 29th, 2019 at 3:40 PM ^
Unintentional on my part... didn't wanna waste any energy looking up the correct spelling; he doesn't deserve it.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:34 PM ^
If you're a truly deranged college football junky like I am and you're looking for a sleeper pick in case other games get out of hand, keep your eye on FIU vs Tulane. FIU has been quietly ascending under Butch Davis and Tulane is shifting away from Willie Fritz's shotgun triple option offense. Both of these programs could head in either direction over the next few seasons, should be a competitive game.
August 29th, 2019 at 12:36 PM ^
High School games in Michigan this weekend are being played mostly tonight.
My alma mater, GR West Catholic, is @ Berrien Springs this evening, so as long as the weather doesn't get stormy I'll be there.
