(Guest Post by Matthew Ladner)
After botching last year’s playoff with an ill-advised NYE experiment, College Football came roaring back with a fantastic opening to the 2016 season. Houston puts an exclamation mark on its application to the Big 12 with a convincing win over Oklahoma, Aggy fans get set up for their usual soul-crushing disappointment with an early win, LSU athletic director friends Tom Herman on Facebook after stepping on a bear trap with a “neutral site game” against Wiscy @ Lambeau Field, Alabama looks like the 1985 Chicago Bears (again) while picking their fangs with USC, solid Clemson/Auburn, Georgia/NC matchups. Oh, and Texas defeats No. 10 Notre Dame in double overtime.
No that’s a true freshman throwing that ball, not Tom Brady.
I promise- it only looks like Tom Brady.
Did I miss anything? Oh yeah Arkansas had a dramatic one point victory over a directional school from Louisiana. Borderline necrotic….or something. Oh wait, I know, Ole Miss and Florida State will be playing tonight. So the playoff has seemed to change the incentive structure for out of conference games. The playoff selection committee does not prize victories over tomato can opponents, so some of the big boys are lining them up and playing big match ups- which is great for the fans.
Opening weekend a’int over yet!

Interesting how Texas used “trick” plays in both OT periods to score touchdowns. Who would have guessed what #18 was about to do?
Yup- just because you know something is coming does not guarantee that you can stop it.
Is federal education policy that hopeless?
Are you so hopeless you can’t let people talk about anything else without bothering them?
Where have I stopped your private conversations?
