Week 3 Other Games Thread

[Whytetale]

The USC-Purdue lightning delay reminds me of when we got evacuated to Mackey Arena during the 2017 Purdue-Minnesota game.

Not a great day for the Gophers but at least I was one of the ones who got taken to the luxury seats at Mackey and not herded into the concourse!

Yes, Mackey Arena was the highlight of that day.

Brent Pry's seat at Virginia Tech is officially in flames.

Down 31-0 to Old Dominion, I don't know if he makes it to next week.

Holy cow, what a tackle at the goal line by Notre Dame

Ope, got in on third down. TD aggies.

It was a great tackle, but the receiver fell down and it would have been an easy throw. Still and all, big open field hit.

If Wisconsin was smart they'd give a long look at Jason Eck.
Alumni
Grew up in Wisconsin
Former OL who can reestablish their identity
Turned around Idaho
First season at New Mexico and just dominated UCLA

Forgot that Harasymiak is the coach at Umass now, down big to Iowa, they're very bad but this is his first year of an attempted turnaround.

Gotta imagine Leipold is higher on their list, or hell try and correct their mistake and hire Leonhard if that bridge hasn't completely been burned.

I just feel "bad" for Wisconsin fans who traveled down for this.

Some crappy cheap flight to Atlanta. Wait an hour+ for a rental car. Drive 3hrs to Tuscaloosa.

Sit in southern, midday heat in an open air stadium, sweating your balls off ... just to watch your team get pisspounded

He's joined the Napier list for sure.

At least Napier lost to relatively good teams, can't say the same for UCLA and Va Tech, but obviously expectations at those schools are different.

Leipold is 61 and gets a lot of hype for only being 24-29 at Kansas. I wouldn’t mind if he was the hire.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Fitzgerald end up in the next few years at either Iowa or Wisconsin

Would love to see them be that desperate. Especially Pissconsin who has a stick so far up their behind because they play "The right way"

Was watching Bama-Sconnie and saw Bama had a lineman named Formby. My Boomer Powers kicked in and I wondered if that kid was related to Homer Formby.

 

[Ski-UT-Mah]

We've probably already gone over this, but ucLa lol

 

[Ski-UT-Mah]

Also South Carolina getting whooped!

VanderKillt looks pretty good.

 

[GopherVotary]

Big, beautiful loss by Notre Dame, on a botched extra point!

 

[Nax5]

Notre Dame gunna be the only ranked 0-2 team. Tough start
