2020 Week 1 Watch Party

[Irish YJ]

A little late, but here's what's on tap. A little depressing, but just glad to have football.

MT vs Army should be decent. Memphis might be a bit fun. BYU and Navy on Monday is probably the best of the bunch.

i know it's college football and trust me i miss it like crazy...but this week 1 other than byu vs navy isn't even watchable to me.....it's 1 thing when it's a notable college team vs a crap hole small school but another to watch 2 crappy small schools with not knowing really anyone other than (buchele or brady white) on the rosters...

feels like more of a week zero lol

 

[Irish YJ]

Watching Game Day.

Corso just threw down the "Irish in the playoffs" prediction.

 

[calvegas04]

He also put Book as Heisman pick

ESPN laying it on pretty thick with social justice. Can’t we have a mainstream sport without politics being crammed down our throats?

Perhaps Eastern Kentucky should have spent less time getting their virtue signaling squared away and a bit more time getting ready to play?

Had to turn it. Watching CBSSN (Army/MT) now.
I did want to see Corso though.

 

[irishtrooper]

Me too. Unfortunately no CBSSN

 

[Irish YJ]

So far Week 1 Saturday is a wet fart full of hot peppers.

Didn’t even know it was starting,... I’m pretty much good without it if it’s a non stop social commentary festival.

CBSSN with the Army game hasn't been too bad in that aspect. I had to turn off ESPN earlier. Felt like a sermon from a progressive cult.

During the game??? Or with their build up show??

yes....

 

[ACamp1900]

Yeah I’m good on that ,... board game saturdays sounds nice

 

[Irish YJ]

BYU/Navy game pretty decent. BYU got up early 14-0 but things seem to be settling down a bit.

I cheer for both of these teams when not playing ND, so don't care on the outcome. I guess I'll cheer for Navy since they are down.

 

[DONTH8]

Navy is tragic this year.

Navy is tragic this year.

Doesn't look like the same Navy team.

Can't be bothered to be a good team if they're not playing ND

 

[NDVirginia19]

Man... Not tackling AT ALL during Fall camp? Sounds like an awful idea. I don't get the safety aspect at all

 

[landrus13]

Been watching Louisiana-Lafayette and Iowa State. Total snoozefest. Purdy looks awful. Should have at least 2 picks already. Neither team looks competent on offense.

Syracuse vs UNC is equally bad. Maybe all week 1 football will be sloppy?

I was just coming here to say the same thing. With the weather being a problem in South Bend, I’ve braced myself for something ugly. I’m really interested in seeing how well Oklahoma does with a new QB, and then Clemson this evening. If they both look sloppy, I’ll then say that there is definitely a level of rust and hangover from everything happening.

Army looked really good last week. I highly doubt Clemson is going to be sloppy tonight.

I thought nfl would be sloppy with no pre season games or scrimmages. Chiefs looked great, an do don't think you can blame houston sloppiness on covid, that's just how they look sometimes
I think it's easy to say sloppiness because of covid, but in reality this could just be standard week 1/over hyped stuff.

 

[NDdomer2]

Weird with ND bring in acc this year I'm sitting here watching syracuse unv like it matters to me now

 

[Irishize]

Damn, Clemson just comes out in their opening drive like a well-oiled machine. Glad ND has time to improve before hosting them.

Their opening drive was 3 and out.

 

[Irish YJ]

Just caught up on highlights and flipping back and forth between Clemson and FSU games.

Ark St looked pretty good on O. Some seriously nice plays in beating KSU. Louisiana as well.

Very underwhelmed by FSU. Still close with GT in the 4th.

After the first bad drive by Clemson, they made it look easy on O. D not looking like I'd expect though. It's early though.

 

[notredomer23]

GT and FSU look to be pretty inept on offense. Our defense should especially have a field day with GT’s OL

Lol! You’re right, my buddy corrected me in real time. I was making a plate and missed that. My bad.

A-State got the most coverage ever yesterday for their program. Great game. They should’ve beaten Memphis too but mismanaged the clock & shot themselves in the foot. Still they may give App St a run for the Sun Belt. Their WR Adams could start for any P5 team.
