FOOTBALL IS HERE!! - Thursday Night (9/2) Game Thread

[Irish4Life09]

Although it may only be South Carolina vs So. Miss., but it's football baby!

I can't wait for Saturday. Unfortunately I've never been able to be this hyped up and excited to begin a season before in my 15 years as a ND Fan. First there was Davie, then we had the O'Leary fiasco, then Willingham, and then the much maligned Weis.
I think we finally have a man that we can put all of our faith into. I hate getting my expectations up, due to our recent history, but I am excited to say the least!

How the hell did ohio st. score so quickly? I was watching the South carolina kickoff, then flipped to the osu game, and it's already 7-0

 

[TerryTate]

I am thrilled to have college football on my tv again. 60" with Surround Sound setup purchased for the season.

Marshall fumbled the opening kickoff, took OSU 4 plays to score from the 22

Interested to see Marcus Lattimore from South Carolina

Gilmore for South Carolina is quite the player. He just took 2 snaps at quarterback. He normally starts on D.

Don't forget Pitt-Utah is on right now on Vs. Most interesting game of the night methinks!

Pitt is overrated, or Utah's D-line is really good. Or both. Scoreless end of Q1.

 

[TerryTate]

Pitt's defense doesn't appear to like the spread. This makes me happy.

 

[GoingGreen]

ESPN wrote an article praising the ACC for starting 2-0. Seriously? Miami beat Florida A&M, and Wake Forest beat Presbysterian.

 

[TerryTate]

Not impressed with Pitt's defensive line thus far

 

[IrishAlum1997]

Got a sick feeling Pitt is coming back all the way.....I hate Wannstache. Utah's offense is very suspect. Neither of these teams scare me.

 

[Steve]

Moved this into the Other College Footaball section and made it a game thread.

Utah vs Pitt

Utah vs Pitt

Utah looking good I have to say both teams scare me but Utah's offense alot better.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

SoCal game is underway on ESPN

Wait.....Presbyterian? Isn't that a church, not a football team?

 

[military_irish]

Wait.....Presbyterian? Isn't that a church, not a football team?

maybe the congregation of the church thought it was a charity event, but Wake Forest slipped it in as a real game

WTF? Is Shelley smith usc's personal reporter?

 

[DirtySecret]

Did anybody just catch USC going for 2 pts? Fing classless!!

 

[tonyroberts4life]

utah won a nail biter!

They've gone for 2 on all 3 td's

 

[IrishAlum1997]

Lane Kiffen is a d-bag. Try that against Oregon, you pussy. I hope they go 7-5 and Pat Haden fires his dumb ass.

 

[IrishAlum1997]

Shelley Smith gives oral to the D-line. baby's got back.

 

[DirtySecret]

They've gone for 2 on all 3 td's

Yea they're 1-3.. It's fing classless! You know and I know Hawaii isn't that great of a team. What's the point. He didn't pull that shit while he was in the SEC.

 

[military_irish]

Hawaii's QB looks shifty, not a very good passer though.

but as we've seen in the past USC can't handle running QB's. All i can do is hope he shifts all over USC's defense.

then on the other hand Hawaii's defense has to make a stop for Hawaii to even have a glimmer of hope

 

[IrishAlum1997]

Holy F. Did anyone just see that kid on the sideline with the Harvey "2-Face" Dent haircut? Not the Aaron Eckhart, "Dark Knight" version, the Tommy Lee Jones "Batman Forever" style.

If that's any type of island tradition, end it.

 

[DirtySecret]

Jesus H Christ, will someone relay a message to the camera man to stop sniffing so much cocaine. He's giving me motion sickness..

Hard to keep a steady camera with Shelley smith's fat ass walking around the sideline

 

[KPENN]

Their back in it

 

[DirtySecret]

That's what Lane dumbass gets for going for 2. Jackass!!

 

[JughedJones]

Man this is getting me soooo pumped.

We can make some noise with SC's secondary.

PITT is most def beatable.
