I can't wait for Alabama to steamroll him

[Slateman]

lol, VA Tech looks terrible. 3rd and 10 and you run the option against a 3-4 team .... lulz

Seriously, how long till Beemer gets fired?

[Slateman]

Welp so much for the vaunted VA Tech special teams

[PANatsFan]

Ugly ugly State win
Expected Rice loss
Nats disintegrate
Crap day

Nice win in Charlottesville. Wish I could have seen it. ESPNU cut away to the SEC. Because I have DirecTV, I couldn't put it on the iPad and AirPlay it to the Apple TV because DirecTV does not participate in the Watch ESPN app. freakers. This might make me seriously consider changing providers to FIOS, as much as I dislike their interface (based on trying it at my parents' house).

VPI losing was just icing on the cake.

Of course, we will get our arse kicked next Saturday by Oregon!

Buffalo's helmets are awesome.

TCU's are not. 

[Terpfan76]

Diggs is a guaranteed first round pick when he declares after next year (assuming no injuries or unexpected decline in production) and Long was a 5-star recruit who dominated JUCO last year and was good in his only season at UNM.

I don't think I'm making a stretch when I say they are a top-10 WR tandem in the nation. How many teams have 2 guys who could be first round picks at WR?

ESPN rated them as the 10th best wr corp in the nation if I recall correctly.

Can't do much with a Horned Frog.

Baylor has 63 points and it's still the 3rd quarter.

UVA kept it close against Oregon...59-10 at this point...midway thru the 4th.

I think he gets a pass this year simply because of who he is.  Next year...not so sure...

[GburgNatsFan]

UMD 45-3 over ODU. I guess that's to be expected.

[1995hoo]

UVA kept it close against Oregon...59-10 at this point...midway thru the 4th.

We have about 7 more than I expected. I expected about 52–3 Oregon.

UVA had a much better first half than I think anyone expected, but Oregon is just flat-out on a different level and it shows in the second half. Still, coming out of these first two games 1–1 is OK given the next three (VMI, at Pitt, Ball State)....4–1 isn't out of the question, though 3–2 would be no surprise either (loss in Pittsburgh).

Eminem looks like he's on meth

[spidernat]

  They try to inject too much bullcrap into sports.

[spidernat]

BYU hangs 325 yards rushing on Texas in the first half.  :shock

"In the day", Westminster was one of the power houses of small college football.    Good win for Hiram.

[Terpfan76]

Diggs is clearly all he was advertised to be.

Granted we haven't played any good teams yet but Edsel is showing he's a good coach and deserves patience. These are games we routinely struggled with in the past yet were laughers. Diggs and Long could both have huge seasons.

Thanks Mitlin!  I HOPE they do Ok.  Last year some of their losses were by only a touchdown.  Some were blowouts.  Here's hoping for more Ws!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I just want to say that I hate everything that has happened to college football conferences in the past 20 years.  Notre Dame and Michigan not playing anymore is the final straw.  At least most of the old big east football schools are now in the ACC.  Maybe they can set up a division with VA Tech, Miami, BC, Syracuse, and Pitt.  Maybe toss in Notre Dame, which was big east for everything except football, and then some random team that never really belonged in the Big East, like Louisville.

Just in case, brother-in-law's nephew plays for Wooster.

Notre Dame not playing Michigan anymore, though, has nothing to do with conferences.  It is, however, shameful that a great, storied rivalry will now end.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Is that bigger than Michigan/Ohio State?  I have no idea, I don't really follow college ball these days...but I seem to remember that always being a huge annual event.

It does in part. Notre Dame's partial ACC membership requires them to play five football games a year against ACC opponents starting next year, which means they have to drop some of their existing games. They'll always play Navy and USC. That leaves five games a year available (five ACC + Navy + USC = seven games of a 12-game schedule)...unless of course they play at Hawaii or elsewhere outside the continental USA, in which case they get an extra home game that year.
