College Football 2020

[Sonnie Parker]

Yep... I was hoping the Gophers could have taken down Wolve's, but it was not to be this day.

How about Indiana... are they for real, or is Penn State that weak this year. Biggest upset of the weekend I think.

 

[Sonnie Parker]

mech... I know I did not just witness the Gophs up 38-21 in the 4th quarter literally giveaway that game... tell me it was imaginary.

The announcers jinxed the extra point kicker...unbelievable.

 

[JStewart]

Wait. What? I nodded off in the 4th and didn’t see it.
Oh no. Maryland did come out on top. How’d that happen?

 

[JStewart]

Good stuff, as always!

Wait. What? I nodded off in the 4th and didn’t see it.
Oh no. Maryland did come out on top. How’d that happen?

It was strategically planned out. Minnesota said, "Here... take this game, because we DO NOT want to win."

What was really ironic is when the Gophers lined up to kick the extra point to tie the game, the announcers say something to the affect of, "PJ Fleck is nervous about this kick." AND HE MISSES THE EXTRA POINT TO LOSE THE GAME! I am seriously shaking my head in disbelief. How can you jinx a kick like that... crazy! Of course it never should have come down to that kick... they had the game IN THE BAG going into the 4th quarter and blew a 17 point lead.

 

[mechman]

mech... I know I did not just witness the Gophs up 38-21 in the 4th quarter literally giveaway that game... tell me it was imaginary.

The announcers jinxed the extra point kicker...unbelievable.

They have no kickers. I'm not sure what happened with all of these players that aren't playing but it's killing them - 2 offensive lineman and punter/kicker. Apparently this kid doing the kicking is recovering from sports hernia surgery still as well. I'm just gonna write this season off for them.

[Sonnie Parker]

That is wild... talk about a highlight. Crazy!

Play

Wonder if that’ll be in the playbook next week for their matchup with THE Ohio State University?

 

[JStewart]

Not sure what the Clemson - Notre Dame game will tell us about Notre Dame's ranking with Trevor Lawrence out. Will it help them if Notre Dame wins? If they lose will that move them farther down in the rankings than if Trevor had played? No matter, it should be a good game to watch.

Also looking forward to Georgia-Florida.

PAC12 is back and so are late games for east coast football fan insomniacs.

[Sonnie Parker]

Not only is Trevor out, they are missing some key defensive players as well.

I think Clemson may win anyway, but if they don't, you are right, not sure it tells us much about ND.

Now if ND beat them with Trevor playing... whoa Nelly!

 

[JStewart]

Now if ND beat them with Trevor playing... whoa Nelly!

They better win tomorrow if they want a chance to play him!
Think you're right though. I'd also pick Clemson tomorrow in an uncomfortably close win.

 

[JStewart]

Congrats to Notre Dame pulling out the win in OT. Things may have turned out differently with Clemson at full strength, but no matter because it was a great competition to watch. With luck they’ll meet again this season and both teams can field their best.

Trask and the Gators offense embarrassed the Dawgs. The SEC championship will be a question of which offense is hottest in a shootout. Could go either way, which is not good. Roll Tide #findadefenseplease

 

[Sonnie Parker]

Crazy game with ND and the Tigers, but I do think it will be a different story if they meet again, and I can't see that not happening.

I think I'd rather see the Tide play the Dawgs again instead of the Gators.

 

[JStewart]

Was really looking forward to Alabama-LSU and to see if Maryland could keep it going with Ohio State. Ah well, such is 2020 and there's still good competitions to watch.

I think I'd rather see the Tide play the Dawgs again instead of the Gators.

And speaking of good competition watch, let's hope Arkansas can provide some! Wooooooooo. Pig. Sooie!

[Sonnie Parker]

Will we finish the season?

 

[JStewart]

I sure do hope so. We collectively need the “normalcy”.

Do you watch golf? The Masters is being played this weekend and I can’t bring myself to look. Wrong season and no crowds which are a big part of the spectacle.

And for the many important reasons beyond what college football brings, a vaccine can’t come soon enough imho.

And now back to our regular scheduled programming...
What the heck has happened in Minnesota?? You could see that game was over very early into it.

 

[Sonnie Parker]

I watch a little bit... it was pretty cool how ESPN integrated Game Day into the Masters.

I have not watched any of the Masters thus far. I may watch a little on Sunday afternoon if I can keep my eyes open.

Them Gophers... and I was hoping for much better from them this year. Part of the un"normalcy" that's going on this year for sure.

 

[mechman]

Will we finish the season?

They should not. Things are a bit out of control at the moment.

 

[Sonnie Parker]

I am seeing them now start to schedule games based on who can play, even if they were not originally scheduled for that date. UCLA vs Cal this past weekend is an example. Two days notice to play each other.

[Sonnie Parker]

Curious if Indiana has anything for OSU.

A couple of teams that are seriously impressing me this year in addition to Indiana, are Cincinnati, Liberty, and BYU. Not sure about Wisconsin yet, since Michigan appears to be terrible this year, but they did beat them down pretty bad.

 

[Todd Anderson]

Tua's little brother is lighting it up for Maryland. 282 yrds and 3TDs vs Penn State... 394 yrds and 3 TDs vs Minnesota. He looks like a player!

 

[Sonnie Parker]

Oh yeah,.. forgot about him... he is doing well. We have an ex-coach and ex-QB up there. I hated we lost him, but I can't blame him one bit. Saban is cruel when it comes to over-recruiting.

 

[JStewart]

Bummer the Maryland - OSU game got cancelled last week after those two games.
I don't usually watch NFL but I watched the last two Miami games. Tua is holding his own well.

Curious if Indiana has anything for OSU.

Me too and I'm hoping so!
Also thinking UK at Alabama will be a snoozer. Roll Tide. Give me reason not to watch the 2nd half!

Shame A&M has missed the last week and again this week. Both listed as postponed so we'll see what happens.
