Thursday Night's Slate NDSU @ Colorado + Other Games thread

[ztejas 44226]

Let the degeneracy begin.

Howard and Rutgers get us rolling at 5pm on the B1G Network.

Four ranked teams play tonight - none of them having a particularly interesting matchup. Kansas plays something called Lindenwood.*

A handful of matchups feature a tight spread - none of them particularly compelling. Lafayette is getting 3.5 @Buffalo. ULM is favored by 5.5 at home against Jackson State. Coastal Carolina is getting 3.5 @ Jacksonville State.

Year 2 of Deion kicks off against routinely spicy North Dakota State in Boulder - 7pm on ESPN. The Buffs are favored by a conservative 11.

UNC and Minnesota headline at 7pm on FOX - Golden Gophers are getting 2 points at home.

I looked it up.  It's a two-year vocational college for bakers.

They really knead this win for the program.

It wasn't a coed institution until 1983. It was an all-women's college until 1969.

And I did not make up either of those.

Are you suggesting I did?!?!?!

You could have at yeast mentioned their mascot. They are the Lions.

Odd that a national power doesn’t take over this Week 1 Thursday slot.  People are starved for football and the entire nation would be watching a blue blood game.  Playing cannon fodder on Thursday would be also be an advantage for Week 2.

OU grabbed it on Friday. ESPN really wanted this one for Thursday.

Yeah Friday we get OU and what may be a very mediocre Wisky team - and then TCU @ Tree for the night cap. 

Granted Mizzou and Utah are technically the highest rated teams playing either night. 

[High Plains Drifter 11186]

 

Ahh, that annual tradition in the Drifter household- clearing out my DVR of all the games from last year I never watched and then starting to fill it back up.

Don’t even know if UNC/UMinn will even play, Minneapolis is supposed to get nailed with thunderstorms tonight right at kick. They’re at some elevated risk for severe weather

So much that Reed timmer is in the state

All eyes on CU then.

Per Google, looks like the rain should finish up around 7ish. Hopefully doesn't delay kick too much.

Good luck breaking that 6-game losing streak, Corch Subprime!

It can be. We probably don't need individual threads.

Week 1 thread may be better served for discussing Saturday's matchups.

KU v Lindenwood needs its own thread.

I went to a swim meet the UNH women were at. Life of the party group, 10/10 vibes. 

Otherwise, they're in Durham, New Hampshire outside of Portsmouth and were a originally a kind of land-grant JuCo wing of Dartmouth.

That's all I know.

[MissingInAction 25556]

Shit need to re-up YouTube TV. It's the fucking best for CFB viewing. Especially if you're a betting man.

Lindenwood?!  Seems like aggy's schedule maker must now be working at Kansas.

[Steamboat1874 4321]

CU and NDSU is going to be fun.

UFC QB Redshirt Senior KJ Jefferson not looking good so far

Can't even hold onto the ball when he brings his arm back to throw?!

Glad I didn't have to sift through the channels to discover this game.

Oh, Look!

Those piggy inbreds are playing Pine-Bluff right now in a stadium that some people claim they never play in anymore -- War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock.

Can you picture that!  @Dr. Teeth Lulz.

[NAVY 6969]

Let’s go McCallum! Beat Anderson !

Taco Shack Bowl at 7:30 on CW Austin. 

[AbeFroman 3112]

If I’m betting, I think this points to Colorado minus the number.

[Bevo&Pevo 5517]

If NDSU wins, I'll buy a visor to wear.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8979]

Wooooo

[AbeFroman 3112]

Like I said, never bet on Colorado.

['stache 22131]

If CU has another 4 or even 5 win season does the media stop caring about the Coach Prime effect? Will that happen anyway once Shedeur and Hunter are gone?

[The Ace of Aces 5377]

The camera popping in this NDSU v CU game is annoying. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5517]

Looks like cu might be soft across the middle.

[WBT 20970]

West Carolina up 7-0 on NC State after they returned an int inside the 20 then punched in.  

[Stunns38 3805]

Just keep running slants. Colorado is gassed already

Even money he quits after this year when his kid and Hunter are gone to the nfl

[hundredTT 578]

Bad matchup for a young Colorado team. N Dakota St always well coached and experienced. Didn’t like that 3rd down play. 

[WBT 20970]

Nice answer by NCState to tie.  McCall hits a slant for the TD.

[PittsburghTiger 6340]

Elon at Duke tomorrow night will be lit!

I think so too, tbh.

[WBT 20970]

I don't think NDSU is going to handle Colorado's speed very well

[PittsburghTiger 6340]

Colorado’s uniforms suck.

Also, when an announcer, like this guy tonight just did, talks about Yards After The Catch, and says “YAC” and then goes on to say, “yards after the catch” perhaps it’s time to not say, “YAC”.

 

[DanTheHorn 5079]

That kid Hunter looked fast.

Agreed, that’s a problem that will probably not get any easier as the game progresses.
