2018 Week 4 CFB Open Thread

I'm thinking the Bills pick him at #1

Raiders. Gruden says good pash rushers are hard to find.

42 straight points for Penn State. Lovie and the AD who hired him just stealing cash.

There's no way in hell they end up with a worse record than Buffalo. The Bills are winning 2 games max this year barring some MAJOR improvement. Unless you're just being facetious

Thank you Greg McElroy for pointing out Porter Gustins technique is “bull in a China shop.”

Dude has one pass rush move... choke slam the right tackle and be twitchy and insane and roided up while doing it.

I'm convinced McElroy is ESECSECSECPN's backup plan should Herbstreit ever leave the plantation.....

Same elementary level insights, same rhetoric, very similar catch-phrases and whatnot.

You have to be Mr Universe to name your kids Equanimeous, Amon-Ra, and Osiris.

Gustin does nothing but hit late and high. Dude is a roided out joke...

USC wins 39-36 with a blocked FG.

J.T. Daniels shatters the stereotype of pretty boy USC quarterback. Pizza face, yellow teeth, and trash stash.

 

[MGMT]

USC wins 39-36 with a blocked FG.

Serious credit to an elite program for avoiding its second 1-3 start in 3 seasons. Really amazing stuff.

Against a team that’ll barely finish bowl eligible in a for-shit conference, no less.

USC football is back.

Illinois most intimidating player is a 6’ 190lb Jew named Epstein.

Aquinas kid and former teammate of Nick Bosas. :cheers:

Bosa's family has a history of good working relationships with the Jews.

 

[ORD_Buckeye]

Sports hernia. 6-8 weeks is optimistic. I think he’s shut down til bowl season, if he even plays for Ohio State again. He’s the #1 pick in the draft.

Agree. At the very best, we see him for tsun, and that's only if we're in a playoff hunt. With #1 money on the line, he'd be a fool to try and come back early.

What’s a game like in Champaign?

In my minds eye it’s easy parking, chill fans, decent bars and an otherwise enjoyable fall afternoon.

I have heard it' better since they enclosed the stadium but traditionally it's a wind tunnel, which equals freezing one's ass off and crazy (not in a good way) football.

Can't speak to gameday or local scene.

Gameday used to be good. It's become crap since the program's been crap for so long. Urbana-Champaign is OK as far as B1G college towns go. Better than Lafayette, Lincoln or E. Lansing. About equal to Iowa City or Rhythmic Slapping Valley. A big step down from Madison, Bloomington or AA.

If I had to rank the Big Ten college towns (leaving out the metro campuses), I'd go:

Madison (#1, and it's not even close)
AA
Bloomington
Rhythmic Slapping Valley
Urbana-Champaign
Iowa City
East Lansing
Lincoln
West Lafayette (last, and it's not even close)
