I think Colorado and Coach Prime are the first gut 80 members of a roster.

You make a lot of great observations. The ship has sailed.

If you have followed the first month of college football, the rule changes on the clock continuing to run... was supposed to shorten the games. Maybe a dozen plays. I watched one school shorten the game by holding every the snap to the last second on every down. For a team that has no offense or defense, they can with a few first downs keep a high powered offense to as much as four fewer possessions. We may see some upsets. Reminds me a just a tad of “Tressel Ball” where the Punt was the most important play of the game.

Of course what has really happened is that we are now getting almost 40.5 minutes of extra commercials!

Follow the money.

Got a late start on my picks so I’m taking the Niners in tonight’s game.

Hope not. Just a really weird coincidence. Now Heaven forbid something happens in Monday nights game between Eagles and AFC team Tampa Bay. I wouldn’t want to be playing g next weeks game. There are two games on Monday but the hex seems to be on the ABC game.

“If anyone can correct a team it’s demigod Saban”
Bear Bryant was a football god... Until he fell from Mt SEC Olympus and retired.
Same for my personal supreme football god and all around gentleman, Tom Landry.

Has Saban flew too high and offended the other pigskin deities?
Time will tell but him switching QBs at the beginning of season has shook some of his faithful flock and they’re distant thunder claps!

Pretty good game. Giants are playing better than I expected. Purdy playing worse than expected.

I used it, it’s actually a bitch to format it cause it’s hard to find a list that’s easy to copy/paste.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/schedule

I’d just bookmark that page and use abbreviations for the team you pick so you don’t have to write too much.

Thanks
It isn’t the writing out, it’s just that I don’t follow the League anymore and I don’t know the games.
I pick the Lions game and fill in everything else.

Yeah that looks like too much work deleting stuff. All the team citys are 2 or 3 letter abbreviations and we’ll soon be done to fewer than 16 games a week with bye weeks.

Yeah the deleting crap is what really killed me when I used to it. I found a list once that didn’t have all that stuff but IDK what happened to it.

Most of them are pretty easy calls.

But there’s always the “Any Given Sunday” rule..............
