A thing I dislike about schedule difficulty is that they count bad teams better than really bad teams.  A top five team will wipe up any bad team just as well as a really bad team, doesn't matter whether it's Akron or Charleston.  An Alabama can look at their schedule and usually see ca. 7 definite 99.99999% wins, whether it's ULL or Charleston S. doesn't matter.

Here’s where the B1G Network Tailgate pregame show will be for Weeks 1-3:
Week 1: No. 17 Indiana vs. No. 18 Iowa – Southeast Corner of Kinnick Stadium

Week 2: Youngstown State at Michigan State – Munn Field

Week 3: Northern Illinois at Michigan – Pioneer High School, Southwest of Michigan Stadium

This marks the sixth season for the B1G Network Tailgate pregame show. The show is hosted by Dave Revsine and includes analysts Gerry DiNardo, Howard Griffith and Joshua Perry. Former first-team All-Big Ten safety Brock Vereen is joining this season as an analyst and Annie Sabo is now on board as an additional host.

The B1G Network Tailgate pregame show airs on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. ET to noon ET.

How many here watch these pregame shows?  I stopped maybe 15 years back, I realize they can be entertaining at times, but not very edifying.

Not anymore. If it's a home game day we're down on the Flats drinking and throwing buckets.

I don't anymore, either.  Generally I'm at home either exercising or doing chores right up until gametime.

Yup, Saturday mornings are one of the few times I have a decent block of time.  I typically run 3-5 miles and work in some resistance training every Saturday morning.

LSU has announced that they will require all Tiger Stadium guests 12 years of age and older to provide proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to entry for games this fall.

The decision by LSU comes after consultation with – and support from – Governor John Bel Edwards, LSU President William F. Tate IV, LSU’s Board of Supervisors, Tiger Athletic Foundation, and Director of Athletics Scott Woodward.

“As the flagship institution of the state of Louisiana, our foremost responsibility is to ensure the safety of our students, our supporters, and our community,” Tate said. “While we are aware of the diverse perspectives across the nation regarding masks and vaccinations, we must take all reasonable measures to protect our campus and community, not only on gamedays, but long after guests have left Tiger Stadium. The current threat to our lives, our health, and to our medical systems due to COVID-19 is overburdening our hospitals, and we must do our part to stop the spread.”

The policy takes effect on September 11th for the home football opener against McNeese State.

ESPN’s College GameDay to descend on rapidly developing Summerhill | Urbanize Atlanta

Interesting, this is where Ga State plays, Turner Field where the Braves used to play.  I could go down and get in TV with an orange wig.

Atlanta’s Summerhill will be thrust onto the national stage this weekend in a way that celebrates the neighborhood’s Black history, recent revival, and the launch of college football in the sport’s Southern capital.
ESPN’s College GameDay will broadcast a live, three-hour season preview show from Summerhill’s Center Parc Stadium beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, officials announced today.
The show will air in advance of the Cricket MEAC/SWAC Challenge Kickoff hosted at the former Turner Field stadium this year, featuring two Historically Black Colleges and Universities, North Carolina Central University and Alcorn State University.
