College Football Thursday Kickoff Live Thread
Yes, Yes, and YES!!


The big games kickoff Saturday, but that doesn't matter, there's real actual football tonight. Considering I watched an entire high school football game on TV last weekend, I'd say I'm ready.

Football provides a nice change of baseball, where losses are quickly pushed aside, because there's always another game tomorrow. These count and count big.

Here's the games of note. Make sure to get your pick' em entries in. You can just follow the links below to make your predictions.

Vanderbilt at Miami U. (7:30 ESPNU) -- 62% picking Commodores
North Carolina State at South Carolina (8 ESPN) -- 94% picking Gamecocks
#23 Wake Forest at Baylor (8 FSN) -- 92% picking Demon Deacons
Stanford at Oregon State (9 ESPN2) -- 85% picking Beavers

I think we know who Jon Wilner is taking tonight. His love affair with South Carolina begins anew. Also of note, is Ryan Perrilloux restarting his career with Jacksonville State who pays a visit to the brand new Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. That's worth keeping an eye on.

As for me, my focus is on my beloved Redhawks and their first meeting at home with an SEC opponent.

Enjoy the games, and finally, let's talk some live college football right here.

It took of all 16 minutes for me to hate Lou Holtz again.

He's real REAL high on Notre Dame and South Carolina. Go figure. ND is winning 10 games he says, maybe 11, and SC is winning the SEC East. Can't decide which he's more wrong on.

More so the South Carolina part. ND will be much improved but South Carolina has no shot at winning the SEC East.

16 minutes? What took you so long?

I've been flipping back and forth between the game and the Democratic Convention. Games not bad so far, of course that might be just because it is finally a football game that counts and nothing to do with the teams.

Off topic, but pretty funny.  Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon are doing the Packer game and talking about potential roster cuts.  Harlan then turns to Gannon and says something to the extent of "You've been cut before."  Only problem is that Gannon had never been cut, and he was a bit offended.

This is my first football season to have Direct TV and wow. I am so glad I ponied up the extra 10 bucks for every since Fox Sports Channel. My Saturday's are going to be wall to wall different games, instead of some of the sub par ones that get on ESPN.

Wake looks good or maybe Baylor looks bad. Probably both.

USC sure needs a quarterback - or Spurrier is going to have a stroke...

So, uh, I thought my Redhawks would hang pretty well with Vandy. Turns out the SEC is really fast, yes, even against a MAC team.

Someone needs to teach Jesse Palmer the proper length of a necktie. He looks like a clown...or an extra from the Mary Tyler Moore Show.
