Looking forward to watching tonight's Nebraska Vs Cincinnati game with a mixed drink, chips & salsa, and my pets huddled by my feet.

Since this game will be played at Arrowhead in Kansas City, it makes sense for Travis Kelce to be on the sidelines. Needless to say, Travis Kelce plays for the Chiefs and played his college ball at Cincinnati. Arrowhead is his home and he will be playing host to a part of his younger years.

However, this means I will be watching tonight's game on MUTE. No doubt the announcers will be FAWNING over Travis Kelce every chance they get. No doubt the cameras will hone in for lengthy shots on Travis Kelce MORE than any player or coach. And when they can't focus on Travis Kelce, they will force comparisons between Dylan Raiola and Patrick Mahomes. 

ESPN wants nothing more than to be a 247 NFL channel, especially this time of year. Especially with Kelce's recent engagement.

I've been here for 24+ years. You've been here almost as long.

I was 34! I think you were like 15 or something when you started here (at the same time as a very young @MichiFan87 (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=24) .

20 years ago, we were in a parking lot in Madison. Kurt was using his SEC speed to outrun the Madison police!

I'm sure @eltigrerex (https://www.cfb51.com/index.php?action=profile;u=1580) remembers it well. Maybe?

Don't speed up time too much...that was 18 years ago, damnit. SFGopher was a few months old.

I think I first showed up here in January '06, right after Ohio State stomped on Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl.

College football was better when Frank Solich was coaching against Dave Wanndstedt in a battle of the Ohio Valley
Title: Re: Week 1 SoC: Back in Business
Post by: Brutus Buckeye on August 28, 2025, 07:10:07 PM
Wannstedt was like "if you take away that field goal that they had in the second quarter, we would have won that game."

Brother, you just made my day. After not speaking of that incident for years, me and some friends were in the pool last weekend talking about college venues. When crazy stories started, I won going away with that one. Nice synchronicity with your tag.

I remember it better than I’d probably like lol but having survived it, it’s become a fond memory that always makes me smile. 

Man, I miss our crazy gypsy crew days! Y’all (yous guys) are among the best folks I’ve ever met. It’s surreal but somehow, the memories we made loom larger than their number in my mind. 

War damn football.

Badgers starting QB did not make it to halftime before I think tweaking a hamstring.

Back up promptly took a giant sack and Then had a delay of game. Christ on a bike.

This game has a ceiling on any meaningful ratings.  They do it just to do it.  

Honestly, I look at it like the 2nd amendment.  Just because you have the right to own a gun doesn't mean you have to.

everyone wondering why the big Left O-tackle transfer that started at Bama last season wasn't a lock to start..........

False start at first and goal from inside the one yard line

The WR makes a great catch, they mention his family watching him play, including a brother from Alaska.
Do we have a camera on them?  Nah, stupid idea.

All the cameras are on a certain box seat.

I don't know why, but I thought they might have a rough season. I just did not think it would manifest itself against Miami of Ohio. Good defense, but it appears they have found a way to test whether they will exceed Brian Ferentz's 2022 and 2023 offenses.
