Week 1 Discussion

[Watson]

Hello. I'm back. We're back. Football back.

Just like last year, the FCS season kicks off football season a week before FBS when North Dakota State takes on Montana on the 29th. Don't scoff, this is a 2:30 CT kickoff on ESPN. Not ESPN3, the mothership. They even suckered local Brent Musberger into calling the game, which I'm sure he will call completely unbiased and without a betting interest.

Without further ado, let's jump into the Week 0-Week 1 slate that features a week that starts on Thursday and ends on Monday.

Watson's Viewing Schedule

If you're new here, each week I post what I'd watch each week, even if I'm going to be getting #drunj and going to support my Tigers in the best student section in the world. You don't have to follow it to the letter, but this is suggested. You'll need a TV and either a computer with a second monitor or a console connected to a second monitor to maximize football viewing. All times CT.

Spoiler

The greatest sport in the world is back. Tell your loved ones that you'll see them on Christmas, sit back and soak it all in.

[IchBinDeutsch]

13 days. Can't wait

[LowerWolf]

You missed one.

Bowling Green vs. Tennessee | 3 p.m. (CDT) | SECN

[BigDofBA]

OU/Akron.

I think OU will win this game.

[AUChase]

Louisville/Auburn kicks off at 4:30am here on Sunday (6th). I've got to be at work at 8am so I'm trying to request to come in a few hours late.

[WWF80sKid]

Can't wait for Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines to show what they've got against Utah.
