Exactly where you put it.

Easier to add fun stuff to this thread as we get under 100 days.

I'm a day late, but '92 Alabama is the first season I remember following on a weekly basis. First year of the SEC Championship Game.

Sugar Bowl against Miami that nobody gave us much of a chance. We all know what happened including the greatest play canceled by a penalty:

So much mouth by Lamar Thomas, shut up in the best way possible.

Funny memory I have from that game: I was spending the night at a friend's house, who was/is a huge Auburn fan. We were 11 years old, and at dinner he mentioned in front of his dad (also huge AU fan) that he was pulling for Miami. His dad got really angry at him and demanded that he cheer for the in-state school or else he was grounded. I respected my friend for his decision, since there was no way I'd ever pull for AU in a similar situation. But, watching that game unfold with my buddy cheering against Alabama, and the pure agony it gave him will always be one of my fondest football memories

 

[B.A.R.]

Remember those games well...

 

[lvmike32]

Added Mich O10.5 -115 to my OSU U10.5. 1u. Schedule is a joke you assume the only threats in B10 are PSU and OSU. OOC comical again. They have OSU at home. Barring major major injuries I see another undefeated season. I can lose 1. JJ, Corum, Best OL, red hot DC, etc.

You tryna get your Michigan fan card revoked?

You tryna get your Michigan fan card revoked?

Kill em with kindness...

TBH, after you torch a team 45-23 (really 52-23 if not for the phantom whistle late) you have no issue with some praise.

Plus, the 90s were my favorite decade of CFB.

I will never say anything remotely kind about Auburn or Tennessee no matter what the score from the previous year is. You are a bigger man than me

You saved me the trouble. He is the quintessential number 74 in my book. I don't know why he would decide to settle down in Graham of all places.

 

[majent]

getting excited for sure

 

[lvmike32]

with NBA and NHL ending noticed a few moves on BOL.

TCU from -21.5 to -21
CF from -33 to -35
Stan from -10.5 to -8.5
VT from -14.5 to -13.5

Sure there's more just ones I noticed.

1966 "Game of the Century"

In November 1966, 8-0 Notre Dame traveled to Spartan Stadium for a matchup with 9-0 Michigan State. Dubbed the “Game of the Century,” the contest ended in a 10-10 tie, and much debate was made about head coach Ara Parseghian’s end of game strategy. In this video, Terry Hanratty (’69), George Goeddeke (’67), Rocky Bleier (’68) and Bob Gladieux (’69) reflect upon the legendary game and Parseghian shares his thoughts on the controversial finish.

It feels like a lovely fall day outside in NE Ohio, 64 and overcast - maybe we get into the 70s today. Come on football season!

Once had 35 tackles in a game, in 1978, versus Arkansas...

62 days / 9 hours / 25 minutes

Jim Parker - Ohio State
1956 Outland Trophy winner - 6-2/260, huge at that time. Better on defense probably - one of the top OL of all time.

One of my good friends played on the DL at Baylor then - I was just giving him shit the other day (in '78 MS made like 235 tackles). "Man you musta not done shit .... ha".

 

[lvmike32]

BM finally dropped Week 0/1 lines. spreads, no totals yet. Pretty much in line with BOL. Circa and BOL have a few 1, 1.5 differences. Haven't paid a ton of attention but seem totals mainly being bet down, assume due to new rule.

Sat 8/26 Week Zero cannot get here soon enough!

Last I saw Clemson was favored over FSU so favored in all 12. UNC favored in 11 games? That can’t be right.

I cannot vouch for Brett McMurphy's sources, just thought it was an interesting thing to share in these dead days. It's based on one of the writer's at the Action Network. Maybe it's more prediction than what is available right now

Collin Wilson's PR are worthy of consideration for sure, as he definitely knows what he's doing ..... but too many are far off from what Vegas has to use as a primary resource. Bill C's SP+ is pretty close, except for teams undergoing a ton of change (2023 numbers reflect 2022 early in season)

CW eg. Navy -2 vs Iowa
Texas -4 vs LSU
Wash #5 / Ducks #7 ....etc
