Saw this, it made me laugh:

Cyclones and Wildcats tied up in Dublin Ireland. We should each have a Guiness.
This game is more important than you think.

I'm taking the red car out at halftime to find a Guinness or a Harp or something Irish
maybe a redhead!
entertaining first half of football
-
How many Dublins are there in the USA?
There's one in Ohio, Texas and California at the very least.

Is it?
IMHO this game may be important as to which B12 team will be the conference's representative to be a sacrificial lamb in the CFP. But neither of these teams is going to win the NC.

That's awesome.
That reminds me of a similar nugget of geographic trivia, which is that Alaska is bigger than Texas.

Clones snatch the lead 14-7
-
tie game! in the 4th
-
Defensive battle has turned into some offensive fireworks. Feels good to have this sport back.

Outside of CFB, do you prefer Ames Iowa or Manhattan Kansas?
-
Manhattan is also the home of the Big Red One (US Army’s 1st Infantry Division). It’s generally not the favorite posting in the Army. I know nothing about Ames.

Fun 17-14 game getting further into the 4th quarter.
Anyone notice Iowa State get charge with a TO under a brand new rule stipulating that if a defensive player goes down with an injury after the ball is spotted for the next down, then the defense is charged with a time out?
A welcome rule making it more difficult to fake injuries.

Sorry to steal Max's thunder and name it

That feels like a good compromise.
I've always been on board with some sort of medium. Running to the line and standing there for 30 seconds while you get the playcall just to prevent subs has been horrible for the sport. I would say once the center is over the ball, the play clock drops to 10. But if the center isn't over the ball, the defense can substitute. You want to go fast? Let's go fast. You want to hurry up and wait? Go F yourself

UM and OSU have starz. ISU & KSU do not.
A lack of starz might be fine in one game to get an upset. Not three (or 4) consecutive CFP games.

Oh BeGosh and Begorrah,might have to settle for a Red Dog,Redhook or Red Stripe instead

Nubbz is just in time to ring the Campbell.

tough call, I've had some great times in both cities
Ames is closer and I go there much more often
coin toss - depends on what's on tap
I would possibly retire to Manhattan, not in Ames.

Fair point but this game is reasonably likely to determine who goes to the B12CG so it matters for CFP entrance.

I thought it was established that Kansas is the hottest/coldest state in the US?

I didn't know UNLV was playing week 0, it would have been a cheap way to check out the new Raiders stadium.

Alex Orji is UNLV starting QB apparently.

BTW the in-laws that we just visited in San Antonio are considering leaving TX as they now have no family there (their son--my BIL--and his family just moved back to Huntington Beach).
One of the areas they're looking at is St George, as they want to avoid the cost and taxes of CA, even though all their kids live within ~25 mi of each other now.
Should that happen, I'll probably be out in your neck of the woods on occasion. If so, we should grab a beer...

I'm on the Tour Championship instead of CFB. After today, pro golf basically goes into hibernation b/c they can't compete with football. But I'll take golf over Week 0 games between teams I don't care about.

Good point. So there's one more golf weekend to think about...

Same.

A glass of Jameson sounds like something a 21 year old orders at Applebees, and the 19 year old waitress doesn't know how to ring it up

Ryder Cup is the best weekend of golf. It just sucks that we can never win there for coffee golf.
The Tour Championship is so close to being right, and they just keep screwing with the wrong parts

Nice, we have a few good breweries popping up.
You'll want to bring the Jeep.

well, I don't usually stop by Applebees. And I don't usually order Jameson unless I'm in an Irish pub.

Hawaii is up on Stanford in the 2nd half

Hawaii is up on Stanford in the 2nd half
Did the Hawaii coach play QB for them about 20 years ago?
-
Hawaii got charged a timeout because their OL went down after the ball was spotted. Hilarious how stupid this rule is. Big guys get cramps. Hawaii got charged a tineout because their own OL cramped up.
There were so many better wats to fix this

Nobody should ever go play on the islands
