Wins are wins. UCLA's defense bailed out a supposed Heisman candidate today and West Virginia is giving Alabama all it can handle. Michigan rolled...Michigan State rolled...Minnesota won its opener...Big 10 is undefeated so far in week 1.

I've lost track of how many coaches they've gone thru since Tom Osborne retired. Solich...Callahan...Pelini...is that it?

Got beat? USC got absolutely rolled at home againat A&M. A playoff? They're NOT in.

As far as "de-railing" a thread, I'm not sure where general NCAA football should be discussed. It's not community, not non-college sports, obviously...we need a new forum somewhere.

I wasn't singling you out...but can see where you may have thought that from my post. I edited my post to reflect that.

These good-to-great FCS teams that "upset" lower-level FBS teams happen with such regularity these days that you almost can't call them "upsets" anymore. Now, Jacksonville State over Michigan State? THAT would have been an upset.

Montana vs Wyoming will be interesting to watch...

Edit: Georgia Southern blowing it against NCSU.

Sounds just like comments by some fans here last year. Before the game, it's "K-State by 40." After the game, it's "worst team in the Big 12. Maybe a 3-4 win season." Iowa State's coach on the hot seat already... Former FCS team Georgia Southern was also looking good earlier today... EDITED so as not to single out darell1976.

Michigan taking former 3-time FCS champ Appalachian State out behind the woodshed today.

He doesn't care anymore...Fighting Sioux is dead and that's what was important. He knows that the committee's five choices will be something like this: Freeze, Northern Lights, Chill, Pink Butterflies, and Glittery Unicorns.

The confusion with that nickname is already showing though... Is it Roughriders? Rough Riders? Or RoughRiders? Legitimate question - Miami goes with combined words and the R and H capitalized as RedHawks and UMass-Lowell goes with two separate words as River Hawks. It can be confusing...and annoying.

How about a place for topics like "March Madness" and "NCAA FBS Football"? These don't really qualify as non-collegiate or community topics. Just a thought...

Not everyone approves of Mount Rushmore, either... http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2013/10/04/native-history-construction-mount-rushmore-begins-151588 Actually, I was a bit surprised that RHHiT even suggested Rough Riders...surely someone on the committee from the academic world will object to white soldiers from an earlier time whose uniform is similar to that worn in an era not-so-kind to American Indians will find the term objectionable.

You'll have to ask Sicatoka amd Shawn-O about seeing him play...I think that was around the time of their freshman year in Walsh Hall.

I'm with you, Siouxphan27...there is NO WAY the good PC'ers that are bound to make up the new nickname committee will even remotely consider something as offensive as "Cavalry." We'll wind up with something as corny as an eagle poking its head out of a cracked egg...and be called the "Pioneers." We'll get a list of five equally crappy nicknames handed to us along with the words "pick one and celebrate our new path to enlightenment, understanding, non-offensive-ness, and respect, as we participate in this global world of friendly athletic competition."

I'm having the same problems as Ray77...I was going to quote his post and say "me too"...but I can't.

Dixon Ward was fun to watch. Those 1988-1989 and 1989-1890 teams should have been something special...oh, what talent they had...

I have the same problem every spring in the NCAA hockey tournament bracket challenge here... My greatest predictions (of any kind): loudly announcing to my broomball team that Lebron James would become a bigger NBA bust than Sam Bowie. I still hear about that one. Also, my senior year roommate (moving back in the frat house in August 1991) returned from his internship in Seattle with a bootleg CD of some band I'd never heard of. After about 30 seconds of listening to it, I took it out of my CD player and put Motley Crue's "Decade of Decadence" back in. Then I went on to tell him that hair band metal was here to stay forever and that this "grunge" look of his and that crap CD "Nirvana" would be gone in a week.

22-25 for 250 yards, 3 TD's, and 0 INT's outta the new guy last night. San Jose State has an early Heisman candidate (I kid, I kid). That's a good night's work though.

Green jerseys at home.

Who is this directed towards?

I'd rather be Bubba than the Ol' Ball Coach Steve Spurrier right about now...52-28 at home? Ouch. South Carolina...NOT in.

I was pointing out your own comments and how they didn't add up. Sorry if I wasn't drinking the same "UND in an upset" or "UND keeps it close" Kool-Aid that some people were two-fisting over in "SJSU Predictions" earlier. I admire Bubba for his willingness to take on the task he has before him.

O-line: overmatched. D-line: overmatched. Not a lot of talent at any skill position. And you're "surprised" at how out of hand the game got?
