2015 NCAA Football Thread

[nik-]

Well National Signing day is usually when this new thread starts. So, since it was yesterday, lets start discussion on the upcoming year!

Just perusing the 2015 Schedule; if anyone is planning on heading south to catch some NCAA action, here are a couple of "doubleheader" suggestions on the West Coast:

- Friday Sept 25 - Stanford @ Oregon State / Saturday Sept 26 - Utah @ Oregon
- Thursday Oct 22 - Cal @ UCLA / Saturday Oct 24 - Utah @ USC

That was great having Harbaugh lose his first game in Michigan last night. The Wolverines have always been my most hated team, then they add probably my most hated coach in all of football. Off to a solid start...

Minnesota wins this season. Not cause they won a game or anything, but for going with this to distract the TCU kicker last night.

Whilst I hate Rudock with the fire of a thousand suns right now there was definitely progress. "We can build on this" and all that business. 7-5 should be reasonable for this year but things look promising going forward. I liked the defence at least, offensively they're still having trouble running the ball. Rudock did a great Henne impression, overthrowing wide open receivers who could walk in for a TD and throwing backbreaking interceptions.

Can't undo all the destruction Hoke did in one game.

One game into the season and it's looking like the end is officially near for Mike Macintyre in Colorado. That's going to be one long flight home for the Buffs.

Because of the loss or are you reading something somewhere? This is a 4 win season at best for CU this season, not sure anyone expects anything more.

All my own speculation. I realize he's taking the program from basically scorched earth but losing to Hawaii in your third year with the program is an absolute backbreaker IMO. MacIntyre has to really get some momentum going with that program this year and they needed to do so early given their extremely tough conference sched. I'd say that's basically shot with this loss. Perhaps I'm exaggerating, we shall see.

I think you might overestimate how much anyone here cares. CUs been awful since Barnett got himself blackballed. Sofa Loofah keeps getting starts but at least he's not the coach's son. I'm all for it though, keep throwing new coaches at the gram until someone gets it together. Currently they're the 3rd best team in the state behind Air Force and Colorado A&M and that's sad.

Edit: wow really it's already year 3? Time flies, it felt like just yesterday Hawkins was telling me that this ain't intramurals, brother. Forgot this current AD didn't hire Mac either. You could be right.

Anyone watch the Montana vs North Dakota State game last Saturday? Fantastic.

We were in Montana last weekend and briefly considered making the trip to Missoula to watch the game, but tickets were crazy expensive so we decided to pass. Nice win for the Griz.

[Sainters7]

Zaire looked very impressive in his 2nd career start (and first in South Bend); 19-22 for 313yds and 3TDs against Texas in a 38-3 win. So not used to seeing them with a dominating, physical OL.

Jacksonville State is up 7 with 5 minutes left against Auburn.

[GirlySports]

They should have gone for it on 4th down. Chance of a lifetime man.
