If you want hot CSU/Hawaii talk (and by that I mean shitposts) and you aren't in the Discord, PM me. I think live game talk is primarily going to be in there.
They had a 10 win season just 4 years ago. Been 9 years since my school did
Must have missed that. I was going off of PAPN comments, which were not flattering.
Oh man lol.
JSU forces a 3/out and NCA has to put from their end zone but the PR muffs and gives the ball back at midfield. Another 3/out and punt and the PR muffs it again but they recover.

That 10 win season was a blip on the radar.
Rice's entire athletic department is pretty embarrassing tbh. We're basically the Vandy of the Group of 5.
Basketball was turning around until VCU called Rhoades home - Sorry not sorry.
I always remember Rice as a triple option team. Where they are you'd think they could get some kids who'd get lost at a UT or A&M but I guess Houston just out efforted them on that front.
Rice is a good school IIRC, so I'm guessing it's probably hard for them to rely on leftovers from the P5 schools in-state being able to get in.
I remember them giving Hawaii fits with the triple option.
It's our academics. When I ran track, my coach hardly ever bothered to recruit sprinters. But he'd recruit distance runners and every manner of field event folks.
You can read between the lines as to what his belief was. Smh
It's not quite that bad with the football team, but, still not far off.
Ryseing, have you seen this shit? You know about the taking down of the Silent Sam confederate monument on campus this past week. Not only do they plan on replacing it in a 90 day timeframe, they're getting some support from some interesting places
I mean, they were the White Phantoms a long time ago.

What should we expect from a university that used African American studies related courses as sham classes where nobody would learn anything from them?
I think Prairie View and UTEP are the only teams Rice is beating this year
Man, Tristen Wallace at Prairie View looked legit af. He got booted from Oregon a couple years ago and ended up there.
Wyoming looking salty (albeit against NMSU).

ESPN U is currently airing every Alabama Game from 2017. Enjoy the marathon
Wyomings defense is no joke. Coach is finally making his program look like his old NDSU teams

Dope. Weird that the Iron Bowl didn't happen last year, though.

I hate this fucking state so much. You go 20 minutes from RTP/Charlotte/Boone/Asheville, it's the deep South. God I can't wait to move.
didn't even remember that I had actually put in picks, and I have no idea who I did pick.
Did Texas A&M actually play today? Why do I think they were supposed to play, never saw them on the TV schedule.
They play Thurday on ESPNU against Northwestern St. Should be an easy win.
Should be.
Gonna enjoy watching it next to my roommate so I can bug him lmao. All eyes on you, Jimbo. Any other notable Thursday or Friday games?
Best matchup IMO from those 2 days would be Stanford vs San Diego State. Stanford should win, but San Diego State usually plays Pac-12 teams close.

Making the list right now. Syracuse @ Western Michigan might be interesting if only for the @ G5 school factor. Northwestern @ Purdue is opening week Thursday conference play which is always fun. And of course, we have the Civil Conflict, the nation's most important rivalry game.
Been reading a few articles about Nebraska lately. I do not think they are ready just yet, but expect them to be a spoiler team of sorts. (In my opinion) What's the over/under here for them?
To be more specific, 6 wins, over/under?
To be more specific, 6 wins, over/under?
Over.
The roster, while it had some gaping holes in a few positions (that have been pretty impressively patched up by Scott Frost and co) - had some serious talent in certain spots (esp WR). Adrian Martinez is the real deal and will become the first True Freshman QB to ever start the opener for Nebraska.
The buy-in and work ethic now is pretty much a 180 from Mike Riley.
I'd be more shocked by them only winning 5, then I would by them winning 8 or 9.
I think 7 or 8 wins seems right, 6 could happen, 9 could happen, 10 or 5 would be shocking to me.
Even if they only win 6, I expect a lot of positive trajectory
Nebraska is a 6 win team if Frost has the team in a recovery trajectory. They'll have to get their 7th win off MSU @ home, which is not a guarantee, but it being a home game does help their odds.
Basically, the goal this year is.. go to a bowl.
W - Akron
W - Colorado
W - Troy
L - Michigan
W - Purdue
L - Wisconsin
W - Minnesota
L - Ohio State (the goal here is to make Ohio State at least punt the ball once)
W - Illinois
W/L -Michigan State
L - Iowa

You forgot the Northwestern game which I have as the 7th win.
Oh whoops. I'm counting them as a loss because of the Northwestern Rule Of Winning Games They Shouldn't
Chaos - Northwestern
Haha fair enough. Northwestern is always that team that you want to look past and if you be ready for a game.
Call me ballsy, but i have 8 wins. Agreed on your wins except the Iowa loss. I don't really expect much from Iowa (unless they are playing Penn St), but i will admit that the Michigan St game could go either way.

It's at Kinnick. Iowa wins all sorts of games they shouldn't at Kinnick.
Like dropping 55 on tOSU. That happened.
