Love the 1:53 mark. "It was only "no name team" but....." So true. How did opening week get so lame?

And, again, how are Cali and Stanford on the Atlantic Coast, again?

Fewtbawl grewed up and became insane unfettered capitalism. Thanks NIL NCAA cave etc.

So surprised. Next we'll be seeing "Pri-ME" on those commercials every 90 seconds.... Oh, wait...

But I think the most stunned folks in the country are Bammer folks. Their entire life has been upended. Next to LSU, I guess.

Schedule a "practice game" on the first weekend, by bribing a patsy school with money and airplay. Eliminate the time out to move the chains, and then extend the other breaks to appease advertisers. Big revenue potential is seriously F'ing-up NCAA Football.

OK if we suggest changes for football rules?
1. Leave same players in game for offense-defense. Add a couple substitutions.
2. Make all players eligible to pass and receive.
3. Let any player attempt a 3 point goal kick at any time.
4. Redesign helmets and shoulder pads to be less weaponized.

Thank you, 1:21 for saying what we all want to say.

4:59 pm needs to read the rules again.

Good, not great.

In fairness, they didn’t have much to work with.

Playing lower tier teams on opening day is not new. Been happening for years.

Upset the business model based only on monetary profit and eliminating competitors screws up sports but you want to turn everything else into a business?
You notice that the NCAA intended to make the "playing field" better eliminated rivalries that had elevated the game and created fans but can't see eliminating competition happens much the same way?
And, still you claim to be capitalists and still don't "get" that "rules" are supposed to make the playing field as level and fair and accessible to the best product to the most users?
Naw..
Once upon a time, there were men who chose working because it was worthwhile and lasting and created a life that mattered. This even occurred in ancient times. This kind of work was called a profession. That they improved their profession and made their communities better mattered. Now though some still long to have this kind of work, they are forced to work in an environment that prioritized money. Indeed, even their small individual offices and charitable buildings disappeared completely. Those who remembered them and knew that worked well began to die off and their children didn't believe them. Some of the old people who remained got angry that everything seemed harder but couldn't figure out how this happened or how life got inexplicable so complicated at the most basic levels. They missed all the small rule changes that allowed the big changes and wanted someone to blame.
So, now, money and men who seek power have changed even sports once considered "amateur" or "for children". In time, rather than a "blue moon" we can see flashing billboards on the moon and maybe then, too late see money is truly the "root of all evil".

@ 6:58 AM - No one said it was new, but it is much more widespread and accepted -- maybe even expected, because it also pads the win column.

GA, AL, Ole Miss, MS State, TX A&M, TX, all played practice teams. Whereas, LSU, So Carolina, and FL, got slapped by a "wake-up" game the first week.

Is it just me, or did anyone else hear "Ride of the Valkyries" while reading @ 9:51 AM?

10:06, I had visions of Eric Stratton addressing the Faber Student Judiciary Council

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?!"
