Actually, now that I think about it, why can't our first game be September 7 (BYU @ Navy)?

Why can't it be September 4 (South Alabama @ Southern Miss)?

Just saw that after Southern Miss lost the game, the coach quit.

Paul Finebaum is floating Hugh Freeze for the USM job, and given the Falwell and Blexit scandals at Liberty he'd probably want out even if it pays less than Liberty.  Still, the thought of Freeze, Leach and Kiffin in state at the same time is hilarious.

That sounds like the name of a law firm.

Hugh Freeze wouldn't be a bad hire for Southern Miss. I'd suggest Steve Sarkisian myself (former Head Coach at USC, currently Offensive Coordinator at Alabama.)

Dumb, dumb, dumb.

TBF, plenty of pro sports players (who are also mostly young men, but obviously generally with more professionalism than college kids) have gotten COVID, too. There is an element of it being an occupational hazard if you're playing right now.

I agree because contact with others is a part of practices and games.  But getting on a party bus is completely unnecessary and avoidable, and that's the part I'm calling dumb.

I'm switching my pick in Campbell-Georgia Southern to Campbell.

[DINGO Joe]

I'm switching my pick in Campbell-Georgia Southern to Campbell.

You must be very bored.

No, I'm watching Louisiana-Iowa State, which is actually a pretty good game!

Louisiana, which nobody picked, has this game wrapped up (31-14 with 10 seconds left).

The Big 12 isn't having a great day.  Arkansas State just won at Kansas State.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

If Kansas loses too that would be what.... 3-3?

I picked Ark St.  not because I thought they'd win, but i wanted to pick Kansas and didn't believe the football gods would let both Kansas teams win on the same weekend.

It was a good choice, as you were the only one to pick them.

My first instinct is to say that won't happen, since Les Miles is a great coach ... but I think Matt Campbell and Chris Klieman are too, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Houston-Memphis postponed next week so we'll probably just forgo Friday Night since there are more than 25 games next week.

Texas State, down 41-35 with 30 seconds left, ran back a punt 91 yards for a TD -- and then missed the extra point.  Going to OT tied at 41.

UTSA wins in 20T.  Your Campbell pick almost worked.  They scored with 15 seconds left and instead of taking it into OT, they went for 2 and came up short.

Yep.  Can't fault their decision; I always like it when a team goes for it at the end of a game.

Texas State not only missed the PAT after that late TD, they also missed a short FG in the 2nd OT (and lost by a FG).  I suspect they'll be trying out kickers this week.
