Ladies and Gentleman, Peeps of All Three Sexes, the College football season is here!!!

Tonight's slate works out a little somethin' like this (Due to East Coast bias, all times are Eastern):

7:00 PM Buffalo at #16 Rutgers

7:00 PM Miami (OH) at Ball State

7:00 PM Southeast Missouri State at Cincinnati

7:30 PM Murray State at #10 Louisville

8:00 PM #2 LSU at Mississippi State

8:00 PM Kent State at Iowa State

8:00 PM Southeastern Louisiana at New Mexico State

8:05 PM UNLV at Utah State

9:00 PM Weber State at #24 Boise State

And in a few short hours, I'll be heading on a jet plane to the West for:

10:00 PM Utah at Oregon State

Break out a case of Pabst, throw some steaks on the grill, and find a foam finger, the season is here!

****That was wild! Michigan gets the ball down to the 25 with 6 seconds to go and App BLOCKS the FG and gets the win. That was awesome!! What a start to the season...that was an incredible game.*****

Would have been nice is some of us could have seen it. Thank you Comcast.

Good point. But I do think the gap between I-AA and Division I is narrowing with each year.

****I think this pretty much seals Lloyd Carr’s fate in Ann Arbor.****

Um. Yeah! Maybe I should sent a sympathy card to my brother in law who went to UM.

Most hilarious thing any of you will read today:

The Wolverines, who hadn't played a Division I-AA program, agreed to pay their opponent from Boone, N.C., about $400,000 as a tuneup before hosting Oregon, Notre Dame and Penn State the next three weeks. -- ESPN.com game preview

Can Michigan ask for a refund? :-)

Thats why I have DirecTV. I’m a knucklehead when it comes to my sports.
I have the NHL ,NFL,NBA and College Football packages...I will not miss a game I want to see.
Love your tagline! I don’t miss a single Montreal Canadiens game,haven’t in 10 years!
Looking forward to CBC Hockey Night in Canada ,my favorite is Montreal/Toronto on a Saturday Night.

PJ Hill is furiously trying to figure out where in the hell Appalachian State is so he can send them a fruit basket.

I have my tape of last year Ohio St-Mich game where they all discussed whether there should have been a re-match is the BCS champ. game. The ones that wanted a rematch look super silly now. The team you gotta feel sorry for is Oregon (Mich plays at Oregon next week). That is gonna be one pissed off wolverine team taking the field next week.

Going back to last year, the last three games for UM have been a disaster on defense.

For Idaho, Michigan losing to APP. St. is the worst thing that could have happened before their game tonight against USC.

L 39-42

L 18-32

L 32-34

Total 108 points given up.

Yes the ESPN people were talking about how many points Michigan has given up. And the thing is if Michigan had beaten USC is last years Rse Bowl they may very well have been rated number 1 is the first poll.

Thankfully they called the game in Gainesville, it would have been pointless to play the last eight minutes.

UF 49-WKU 3

The most important thing, no injuries, and Tebow looked good throwing the ball.

Assuming Lloyd Carr is toast, how about Les Miles (UM alum) coming to AA from LSU?
