Lith Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 We used to do this over at the Hampur -- one thread to discuss all of the days college football action. At least we did it back when people actually talked football over there instead of politics. Seems like the college football discussion gets spread across a 5 or 6 different threads here. I have seen a few of the old Hampur regulars over here -- maybe we can get something similar going. Great slate of games today. Kicks off at Noon with Mason Rudolph and Oklahoma State vs Will Grier and West Virginia, followed by a bunch of great matchups at 3:30, too bad they are all at the same time: Ohio State - Penn State Notre Dame - NC State TCU - Iowa State Georgia - Florida UCLA - Washington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Definitely some good match ups today. Looking forward to that WVU vs OKS game for sure. Because I’m certainly not looking forward to the ass whipping the Gators are going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Penn St vs OSU is interesting too. I think the buckeyes are getting 6 too. That’s an inticing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 i'll be flipping back and forth from penn/ohio game and UCLA - then the late games of course which aren't so late here. Lith, what's the next big Georgia game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith, what's the next big Georgia game? Auburn in 2 weeks. Better be a night game -- going to be in Orlando with the family, before heading over to Tampa for the Jets late Saturday. Late games suck today, unless maybe GA Tech can hang with Clemson, which I doubt All the best games are at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Nice drive for Grier so far. Couple of really nice throws, threaded the needle on one over the middle and great ball placement on the long throw down the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had some decent college day threads in the past that were fun. This Ohio/Penn game should provide ample entertainment. Then it's the Falk/Darnold show later tonight for me.

Please do not ever refer to Penn State as Penn. Penn should only refer to the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution with what quite possibly is the finest Business School in the country. It has produced Presidents (not just the current one), Business Leaders, and a certain Lith (Georgia was grad school). Penn State, on the other hand, has produced Hack, Blair Thomas and my brother in law. This is usually the only week of the year when I root for Ohio State.

Paradis Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 unrelated but related as far as saturday sports go-- If you're even mildly interested in Boxing, Anthony Joshua is fighting tonight (heavyweight) and defending his belts -- and next weekend Deontay Wilder is defending his -- setting up a superfight in early '18 for title unification in the heavy weight division. It's the closest the sport seen to a serious bout for the ages, since the days of Holyfield/Lewis/Tyson etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the sport has taken a backseat to MMA - for good reason. It's a mess to follow. Anthony Joshua is respectable undefeated HW champ out of England (i think?).... but Wilder is the bomb. If he was fighting 20 years ago, we'd all know who he is. He's 38-0, with 37 knockouts. He's a beast. Their fight (assuming both win) is going to be a rumble.

Rough year this year. Dead last in the Ivies, although we do have a senior WR who is likely to get a look as a UDFA next season. Alek Torgersen -- our QB fro last year spent some time with Atlanta and was on the Redskins practice squad at the start of the season. I don't think he is currently on an NFL roster.

Lith Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Never fails. Every time we start to talk up a different prospect, he goes out and lays an egg. This week, it is Grier's turn -- terrible throw for his 3rd pick of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRL Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Nothing about Grier is impressive and it has nothing to do with the INT's today. Also Rudolph is a pedestrian prospect in my eyes. He has a nice frame and generates nice stats but other than that nothing he does wows me. Is he another Brandon Weeden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
