So this guy who's better than Brady, he's not throwing so well

couldn't be because he isn't playing Rutgers, Maryland or Minnesota today could it?

 

[Jaxbuck]

Temple seems to get subsidy every year at their place. Dreary as city just sucks the life out of people I guess

As opposed to the lush paradise of Columbus?

 

[Steve19]

I had suspicions about UCF in Philly today, and Temple leads 10-7.

Virginia leading Duh U, 14-7. Bound to have a letdown after last week.

Will two unbeatens fall?

Probably not.

 

[Jake]

I give VA a real good chance, given that they were one of my upset choices that I did not pick.

Ha! I was thinking that about Temple.

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

Have to laugh at all the [Mark May] Wiscy is getting for their schedule and playing BYU....meanwhile we have Bama playing Mercer, Clemson playing the Citadel and Auburn play LA Monroe....

And Auburn is TIED with LA Monroe.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Those parents should be in jail.

I agree

Touche. Philly just seems to be heading towards 3rd world country territory more each year.

Sharing a city and stadium with an NFL team is a challenge. Pitt moved to Heinz Field and it sucked the life (what was left of it after 72-0) out of their program. When they played on campus they at least had an atmosphere, and the occasional top team.

 

[Jaxbuck]

I agree

apple doesn't fall far from the tree

 

[Zander42]

I agree

Wow, I was going to joke that this must be Harbaugh's son. That's the funniest thing if true.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

Defensive staff better mark Gentry. Seems like he's Peters' safety blanket.

 

[buckeyebri]

Peters is slow as fuck...

But he keeps escaping the Wiscy defense.

Like most cities, just depends where you are at

The stadium area is actually pretty nice as far as stadiums in a major eastern city go

it's still a reasonable point because the comparisons should be about which non-conference teams played... not about when they're played. over the last decade, all wisconsin has played is lsu twice and bama once. the remaining seasons were very poor. when byu, arizona state, northern illinois, and oregon state are your marquee non-conference games, that is pathetic for a program like wisconsin. bama, clemson, and auburn, on the other hand, schedule a "name" non-conference opponent pretty much every season. they just play one of their patsies late rather than early.

 

[UrbanBuckeye]

I hope UCF doesn't go down. I've got nothin' against them and it's always nice to see a non-Power 5 team get noticed.
