There is part of this audience who absolutely should get lost.

get that sucker up, as I'll admit, I come here each morning hoping to find it!

It's August. Time for ball. The recruiting douchefest gets into the right hand lane until December.

Throwback to Week Zeros of years past. Let's go all the way back to...2022 with Scott Frost kicking off his redemption season in Dublin over the Northwestern Fighting Car Washes!

That game was so special to me.

Having Nebraska boosters as in-laws, and hearing all offseason how Nebraska was going to have a big year, & they were taking over Dublin, etc…
And I missed the first half of the game because I was sparring, so when I went for my post training Saturday beer at the pub, I saw Nebraska was up two scores, and I was pissed. Then literally the first thing I saw was the dumbass onside kick by Frost, and everything was glorious afterwards.
All Nebraska fans went from Frost the savior to wanting him fired in Dublin after that.

Agree, not sure who came up with that week zero bit but it’s stupid.

For purposes of the Watch Party Grid, it’s Week Zero! I don’t want to hear another word about it!

(ESPN has the games listed with week one on their schedule lol)

Because only so many teams can legally play that week, so it’s a special occasion.
They aren’t going to call it week 1 when only 5% of teams are eligible to play that week.

We’re not doing binary so it’s week 1 regardless of the number of teams playing. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ;)

The nerd in me is all in for zero-based indexing.

Football is nigh! I'm pumped for your zeroth week preview, Lion!

Any other DIRECTV subscribers not getting local Fox or CBS? They typically resolve these disputes timely but it’s been a few months now…

An absolute problem come football season. Today is the first time I can remember that a Colts game (albeit preseason) isn’t televised.

I’ll give it 2 more weeks before I change my provider, If anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate it.

Just A reminder, if you tune into College Gameday tomorrow over Fox Big Noon Kickoff, you're doing it wrong.

Don't self abuse for another year.

ESPN just ran a ND spotlight and was highlighting our offense with some stats, and had a still image up of Logan Diggs during.

Last reminder that if you give ESPN Gameday a minute of your life this year it's on you.

Strongly disagree. As someone who loves CFB but also is aware of time spent, it's the perfect length and doesn't have fluff. On point and good personalies, IMO for Fox Big Noon
