Oregon State at Boise State kicks things off. In case you were wondering, the smurf turf looks exceptionally bright blue and garish in HD.

JeeberD · 09-07-2006, 08:25 PM

Go WAC!!!

cartman · 09-07-2006, 09:14 PM

Wow, at the end of the 3rd quarter, Boise State is taking it to the Beavers, 35-14.

JeeberD · 09-07-2006, 09:24 PM

Mid-major power, baby!

General Mike · 09-09-2006, 10:12 AM

Just under an hour to kickoff for the early games.

Here's the TV slate:

and specifically the ABC coverage map:

st.cronin · 09-09-2006, 10:18 AM

Apart from the three big games today, I'm vaguely intrigued by Washington v. Oklahoma, Oregon v. Fresno State, and Georgia v. South Cackalack.

MizzouRah · 09-09-2006, 10:27 AM

Mississippi and Missouri starts in 1 hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CamEdwards · 09-09-2006, 10:47 AM

Sadly, I am somehow unable to get Oklahoma State v. Arkansas State on cable here in Northern Virginia. Don't they understand what a huge game this is???

duckman · 09-09-2006, 11:01 AM

Looking forward to today's games. Cuckoo and I are going to the Washington-Oklahoma game and I'm going home to watch Ohio State-Texas afterwards. Both should be very good games.

General Mike · 09-09-2006, 11:20 AM

Rutgers jumps out to an early 14-0 lead thanks to special teams and Defense?!?

I can easily see Rutgers going 10-2 this year. No jinx intended.

General Mike · 09-09-2006, 11:35 AM

BOOM! goes the dynamite.

JonInMiddleGA · 09-09-2006, 11:48 AM

Just looked over the TV schedule General Mike provided (thanks for the linkage), I know it's early in the season but the sum total strikes me personally as pretty meh. There's a couple of obvious standout games but otherwise, I see more opportunity to take naps today than anything else.

Dr. Sak · 09-09-2006, 11:59 AM

Rutgers is looking good and what is even more impressive is they beat a UNC team that is playing Va Tech really tough now.

I'm hearing good things about Rutgers this year. How long has it been since they have been in a bowl?

cthomer5000 · 09-09-2006, 12:04 PM

I will not get excited about this rutgers game until the final whistle blows.

256 days.

Swaggs · 09-09-2006, 12:20 PM

Rutgers is looking real good right now.

UNC and Va. Tech look pretty evenly matched, but Tech's defense is doing a nice job of creating clutch turnovers and their special teams is still top notch.

Swaggs · 09-09-2006, 12:22 PM

WVU's Steve Slaton with a 49 TD on his second carry from scrimmage. I'm really excited about this kid... he is only a true sophomore and looks really good since he earned the starting job last year. Hopefully he can stay healthy.

Well that was their first bowl in something like 17 years.

27 years. first winning season in 13 or something.

Swaggs · 09-09-2006, 12:35 PM

I wonder if Rutgers has ever been up 30-0 before?

General Mike · 09-09-2006, 12:49 PM

Are you serious?

We beat Army 44-0 in '02. I'm sure there were other shutouts in the last 137 years.

What's the 3rd big game? There's ND-PSU, and OSU/UT of course, but what's the other one??

Wisconsin-Western Illinois, of course.

General Mike · 09-09-2006, 01:57 PM

Rutgers pitches the shutout~!

Swaggs · 09-09-2006, 02:17 PM

Akron looks like they could be putting an end to the Chuck Amato era at NC State. The Zips have a 14-0 lead over the Pack with just under 3:00 left in the 4th and they have possession.

MJ4H · 09-09-2006, 02:24 PM

I think that should read 14-10

Swaggs · 09-09-2006, 02:31 PM

You are correct. Typo.

And looks like I also spoke too soon.

MJ4H · 09-09-2006, 02:36 PM

Akron wins 20-17. Fun ending.

biological warrior · 09-09-2006, 02:37 PM

Notre Dame V. PSU baby! I hope its a good game.

Swaggs · 09-09-2006, 02:37 PM

Heh... I turned away and missed it. Wow.

biological warrior · 09-09-2006, 02:39 PM

Who's winning the Kent State vs. Army game?

They benched him right after the start of the 2nd quarter. 108 yards on 8 carries and 2 TD's. If they didn't bench him so soon, he would have had another 200 yard game. Granted, it was against a I-AA opponent, but still ...

IMetTrentGreen · 09-09-2006, 02:45 PM

missouri looks like there will finally be a solid team in the north. if nu is any good, we might have two! fun times.

also, ou goes three and out, then washington scores on their first play. national contenders indeed.

We play again on Thursday, so not a bad move in my opinion.

I thought you would be preoccupied with the Bonghorns big game tonight.

IMetTrentGreen · 09-09-2006, 03:25 PM

nice deflection. no, right now i'm watching the steroidooners.

peterson is really fucking good. stanback is horrible. could have walked for a first down on that last drive.

IMetTrentGreen · 09-09-2006, 03:26 PM

hey, paul, none of your recievers are 25 feet tall. fyi

General Mike · 09-09-2006, 03:32 PM

Navy holds on against UMass to win 21-20.

Good point.

DeToxRox · 09-09-2006, 03:35 PM

Notre Dame is pathetic.

This is the most overhyped team in the last 10 years, it's pathetic.

DeToxRox · 09-09-2006, 03:36 PM

And yes, I realize ND is winning but does anyone who's seen this team play honestly see them winning the NC over a OSU or Texas? They'll get run again.

IMetTrentGreen · 09-09-2006, 03:38 PM

nd overhypd!?!?!? WHAT!!?!?!?

dj wolfe bneing a multi year starter just goes to show the lack of talent that the sooners are really dealing with. of course, ou and iowa are still in that overrated club with notre dame. i wish i was a color guy.

vex · 09-09-2006, 03:41 PM

OU..ugh
