Corn Wars: Attack Of The Cyclones (SOC 9/11/21)
« on: September 11, 2021, 06:34:37 AM »
A brisk morning in Columbus should lead to a banger of a day for some football. Dropped into the 50's last night - I was rolled up in my blanket sleeping like a log. Not sure what we are eating today - the wife is working this weekend, so it's just me against the kids. What will that mean? I'll check out Krogers here in a bit, see what they have. Maybe pizza? I still have leftover pork and brisket I need to use up before it becomes dog food.

Anyway, the football slate isn't great, but the B1G is supreme today. Big Nude Saturday with OSU and Oregon, Gameday at Iowa-ISU, and the ABC night cap is Michigan-Washington. Here's to everyone.

11 am, ACCN, Illinois at Virginia
Noon, FOX, Oregon at OSU
Noon, BTN, Youngstown State at Michigan State
Noon, ESPNU, Miami (OH) at Minnesota
Noon, BTN, Indiana State at Northwestern
2 pm, ACCN, Rutgers at Syracuse
3 pm, CBSN, Purdue at UConn
3:30, FS1, Ball State at Penn State
3:30, BTN, Buffalo at Nebraska
4:30, ABC, Iowa at ISU
7 pm, FS1, Eastern Michigan at Wisconsin
7:30, BTN, Idaho at Indiana
7:30, BTN, Howard at Maryland
8 pm, ABC, Washington at Michigan

As good as last week's slate was, the games largely disappointed.  Perhaps today's understated slate will deliver more intriguing games.

Would probably mean upsets? Who is going down? I'm looking at you Nebraska

I'm thinking last week around 530 or 6, there weren't any close games to watch.  The best thing available was Oregon - Fresno, which was on the Pac 12 Network.

I can't imagine Iowa-Iowa State being anything but a nail biter.  I also think UW-Mich will be a great game tonight.  We have some possibility that the noon slot could get a little boring, but I think the Ducks will create enough fireworks that we probably won't be able to turn off that game.  Plus if that does get out of hand, Rutgers kicks off at 2.

I think I might have ACC Network, which is important with 2 games on there today and with this alliance starting up.

Went out with friends last night and then decided to try to sneak in a short lift. Which led to me tooling around on my laptop after 130. So now I’m tired as all hell.

Considering if I can sneak in a run before games start. Can I drive out of town for a bit to help some friends with some thing today, too.

I'm a bit worried for the Buckeyes. I thought things were way too easy on offense, and Oregon isn't going to give up big plays like that. Stroud will have to play a lot better today. Luckily no rain in the forecast. On the other side, still unsure who they will roll out there in the back seven. Not sure they know either.

The answer to all that is no, you only have time to sneak out and get a case of beer. No helping friends on a Saturday, unless she's super hot and needs her bed looked at.

It was a good concert week for me, GNR on Wednesday night,  Slash is still world class and saw St. Vincent last night and she's just superb.  Hope we get some good performances on the gridiron.

Golf early this morning to be ready for the Husker game.

Interested in the Corn War, will be watching.  My guess is that the Cyclone signal caller is better and has a slight edge playing at home

How will the young Buckeye QB perform vs decent competition?

Does Bert have something, or it is just way too damn easy to outcoach Frost?

I need to eat some chicken breast that has been marinating long enough in the fridge, but that's not football food.

I should say, the helping is with house/pet sitting. I also slightly messed up the timing of when it was supposed to start. 

On a complete other note, A friend of mine who is a rabid buckeyes fan received his first order for a bed inspection at halftime of the 2006 Michigan game.

Will Kevin Costner do the coin flip?

Anyway, here's my plan:
Start with Oregon-OSU, but turn over to Pitt-Tenn on commercials (I love watching UT lose).
An hour in, watching Florida @ USF, flipping to Ore-OSU on commercials.
I'll flip over to the corn-hole game as Florida winds down, then probably Texas @ Arky after that. 
Finishing with UW-UM unless its boring, then I'll change it to the holy war (Utah @ BYU) because they genuinely play hard against each other.
