I Hate Football #004: Week One Observations No One Asked For
I took notes while consuming 3 days of football this weekend and promptly forgot to share them yesterday. Nailed it.
U Mass - What?? Hello.
Colorado - Coach Prime and Buffs get off to much needed great start. Sloppy game both sides. Impressive running for Buffs. Can they do it consistently?
College Gameday - Felt lame. Big Noon felt hyped. Bad energy in Baton, Rouge Saturday morning.
College Gameday - Guys and their pointers - lame. Feels like I’m attending a class lecture.
College Gameday - Dez and Reece in beige suits - look like sun baked turds.
College Gameday - Laney Wilson live theme song not it. Give me the pre-recorded Big & Rich original.
Big Noon Kickoff - Portnoy and Barstool > Pat McAfee
Big Noon Kickoff - Urban Meyer needs some help with his fit.
ESPN - I miss the ticker. The bottom of my TV feels naked.
Kirk Herbstreit - Enough with the dog. Just stop. Now we have a store? Nice grift.
Miami - Watchout. QB legit. They’re better than last year
OU - Looked stout. Can they survive the gauntlet schedule?
Michigan - Holy cow. Father Time is a wolverines fan. Better fix that offense before OU comes to town.
Auburn - Way to set expectations. No need to get us too excited after 10 years of darkness.
UGA - Good Lord.
Florida - Jon Sumrall’s shirt - Bold choice. Florida offense- can you do it against a SEC defense.
LSU- Lane is undefeated. We thought they would be distracted. Joke is on us. Possible Natty incoming with or without SEC.
Dabo - Nice press conference. I’ll run naked through the streets of Thomasville with a tiger paw on my chest if you go 11-1
Oregon - Boise is always a good team. Too much over reaction on this one.
Ole Miss - Stout. Trinidad Chambliss - still a baller.
Notre Dame - Nice win but I expected more.
FSU - To bad the lights didn’t stay off. Gonna be a long season for Noles fans. As an Auburn fan, I feel your pain. May the force be with with you.
SEC - Lane is your MVP. No way you kick him out.
