Very,very,very long day watching college football yesterday. Turned on my internet jazz radio station about 9 am.
Shut it down when the last game I watched was over about 11 pm. Cal and Byu.
One of my granddaughters asked me why don't I listen to the games. "Watching is better than listening. Don't have to
hear the commercials or commentators." Been doing it this way for at least 35 years.

Cheers
Charlie

That's the way I do it, plus I cruise the web on my laptop.

Thanks for the fancy clothes Uncle Phil. The Ducks first three games are not much to cheer about. I am afraid when Stanford and the Dawgs come to town it will not be a good ending. Maybe next year?

I guess we'll find out tomorrow, eh Mike?

Penn State will play Illinois tonight, Friday, at 9PM.

Friday night college football? I don't like it.

I vote NO.

Shorter recovery time for injuries

Hope they stay focused on tonight and not looking ahead to the tOSU game next Saturday night

I think I'm gonna cry.

I'm still not sure how the Ducks didn't win that game with Stanford.

Yeah, it looked like the Ducks had it in the bag, that's college football.

My favorite game by far was Old Dominion with their third string quarterback beating Virginia Tech, a four touchdown favorite. I love it when these patsy teams strike back at the schedulers.

Yeah. App State will always hold a special place in my heart...

And here we go again! Who has the big season?

(And....GO DUCKS!)

Hey Mudslide
How have you been?

Yes, its that time of year. Fall approaching here in the northeast. Kids going back to school. Chill in the air and the start of college football. Life is good

I see you have ex-Penn Stater Juwan Johnson. Big target. 6.4 231lbs.
Hoped for a big season from him last year for us but he had a hard time catching the ball. A problem for a wide receiver.

Hope he got that sorted out with the Ducks

So how many uniform combos do you have this year?

Go Oklahoma State! They looked great against Oregon State! But it is going to be an up and down year for the Pokes. Redshirt freshman QB and young defense and offensive line. Great receivers and one of the top 5 RB's in the game.

BSU looked lackluster and a little sloppy in the first half against FSU, although freshman QB Hank Bachmeier showed promise. 31-13 at half. Second half it turned 180° and BSU wins 36-31. I think Hank's answered any question about ability... looked really good. BSU should show well this year, methinks.

LSU at BAMA
39-27 LSU
Wow !! What. Game

LSU super impressive putting up 46!!! At Alabama!!

Hey Emil and the rest of the CFP crew. I think I must have been sleeping when the thread passed through the list.

I was sorry to see PSU get mugged today...very NOT sorry to see Bama go splat. That was kind of a dicey game, for sure.

All seems to be falling in place for my Ducks. If they finish strong, I predict a CFP birth for them..12-1 and with that stupid last second loss to Auburn in the first game of the season. (The Ducks had their top 4 receivers out injured...so an excuse, for certain. And another, an all-American tight end (leading the nation in receiving td's') was hurt and out for the season three games ago. Tough season, but rewarding for us shriveled up old fans of the Beaver (

) state.

Oh, and Emil...Juwan missed the first 4 or 5 games with a leg injury. He's back now and playing at a very high level. Only one drop that I can recall. He killed USC last week. Good kid, I think.

Here's hoping everyone's team wins next week.

Don't think Penn State got mugged. They lost! Played poorly. Questionable play calling in the Red Zone.
Mind you, I have 5 years of armchair college football coaching under my belt so I know what Im talking about

Shame cuz there was talk about meeting your Ducks in the Rose Bowl .

Congrats to the Gophers! Happy for them .

Yeah, they looked like the more athletic team from the start. Alabama is no slouch and gave them all they wanted, but LSU seemed totally in control.

and the win win was at Alabama.
Home field advantage is huge in college ball. Not so much in the NFL IMHO

Hey Emil,

Here is a article with video of Juwan Johnson's really nice 53 yard snag off a flea-flicker. (PSU even gets mentioned.) It's from Saturday's slobber-knocker put on Arizona.

Click on the photo halfway down the article.

JJ is doing really well out here. If UO had him against Auburn, the Ducks would be undefeated.
