Man, Lopez looks like he wants absolutely nothing to do with this game anymore
 


Max Johnson is in, good to see him playing again after the injury against the Gophers last year

Pretty amazing hearing all the stuff that Johnson went through after the injury. Amazing that he is walking again much less healed up enough to go play football.

Based on how bad the transfer QB looked, great chance he gets to be the guy going forward.

Rough intro to college football for BB.....don't think there will be many that feel bad for him though.... :)
 





I think Jordan Hudson can probably tackle better than half of the guys on the UNC defense.
 




Is Tulane this good, or Northwestern that bad? I watched the first half of the Tulane game, and jumped to highlights for the second half. Tulane really seemed to dominate them on both sides of the ball.

Glad to see Belichick get just demolished in his debut

I don't feel good or bad that Belichick got boat raced...BUT, I am really surprised TCU scored 48 points. Defense is what the man is supposed to be famous for. He had plenty of time to coach em up.
Scott Frost hosts UNC in game 3. Will one of them garner some redemption? I just said I didn't care one way or the other about Belichick....ha...so why am I rooting for Frost to win? Dunno

Got back today from Miami where my rat pack and I attended last night’s game. Hadn’t been to Hard Rock since the Micron PC Bowl 😎. The parking logistics were nightmarish and unorganized, and stadium ingress and egress are not great. The in stadium experience was pretty good as it was full (and so were many fans . . . .) and of course the history between the teams is well documented. It was as much a club rave as it was a college football game. It was, well, Miami. The high volume and unrelenting persistence of the thumping music offered up by the in-house DJ (yes), wore on me a little, frankly, despite musically weaning myself on Led Zep “to 11”. It had the desired effect on their fandom, however, and was especially encouraging to the temperature-appropriately clad Cane coeds, that certainly must be otherwise distracting to academic pursuits. In total, a good college football game between 2 (and I hate this term) helmet schools. View attachment 38642View attachment 38643

Did you tailgate out there? I have heard it can be underwhelming for Canes games

Tailgating scene was ‘meh’ overall. We had a group of 6, and given the heat, opted to ‘tailgate indoors’ on the way to the game, and not having to haul anything there and back. Turns out,the 2 separate 10-minute full-on cloudbursts would have been more complicating. General take is that they were largely unprepared parking and logistics/flow-wise for such a large crowd, and noting it was the 1st game of the year. Makes the few and minor grumbles I have only occasionally about our Gopher Gameday experience seem trivial. Perhaps having a team play in an off-campus, remote, pro stadium is not a very good idea. 🤷‍♂️ 😎 😂
