Let's get commenting: Week Two's open thread

Even though there's no Boise State football this weekend, we don't think for a second that you readers aren't going to be drinking in other college football action. That's what Saturdays are for, right?

As such, feel free to use this post for all your comments, insights, questions, and rants. We'll be checking throughout the day to see what you've got to say. Bonus: First one to see Charlie Weis mismanage a personnel package could win a prize!

FYI: The Idaho State - Idaho game is on at 3:00pm this afternoon. If you have satellite, you can find it on Dish Network, channel 410 or DirecTV, channel 681, or you can get it on the radio at 1140 KGEM. We prefer following along on the constantly refreshing ESPN box score.

See you around the comments, Bronco fans.

Idaho’s freshmen vs. Idaho State’s experience. This is probably going to be closer than I thought. The Tribe is desperate for a win this week against a Bengal team that they should, by virtue of being a 1A team, beat handily. But the Bengals are scrappy and play a run up the gut style. If they can also get the passing game going then UI goes down. Can’t wait til this afternoon.

Can’t wait to watch BYU choke on themselves against Washington! The Bengals will show the Vandals that the division they belong in, would not treat them nicely either. And even though there are some great games on today, college football Saturday just isn’t the same when the Broncos aren’t taking the field.

Ohio is beating Ohio St at the half. Marshall is putting up a good game against Wisconsin so far. So. Miss is stinking it up against Auburn and San Jose St is playing “decent” at Nebraska.

Strong second halves, gentlement. Let’s go!

Some very interesting scores early (Ohio v Ohio State, Miami Ohio v Michigan) but it appears that the natural order is being restored in the second halves.

Just goes to show, you gotta watch them all!

Sure glad the Big 10 decided to show up today. My goodness, is the divide between BCS teams and non-BCS teams really that small?

BYU-Washington looks to be an interesting game. Too bad I can’t watch it without horrible Boise State flashbacks. Anyone else?

Kevan,

I’m right there with you. God, we should have won that game… I’ve never been angrier than I was at that game.

My adventure to UW

Not fun.

by Jason Haberman on Sep 6, 2008 1:32 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Watching Washington playing BYU hard worries me more about our game at Oregon. UW looked horrible against Oregon, I figured that was just a crappy UW team. They’re looking pretty good in this game, so I wonder if it was Oregon making them look bad.

Kevan, I agree with you about the flashbacks. Lets see if BYU can do what we couldn’t.

by goodhandsman on Sep 6, 2008 1:37 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I just don’t think BYU is as good as everybody thinks, so this doesn’t make me any more worried about the BSU-Oregon game, which I will be at and I am stoked.

Has anyone seen the score for Eastern Washington at Colorado? 21 – 7 EW within a minute of halftime.

by goodhandsman on Sep 6, 2008 2:17 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

BYU is playing a Washington that sucks worse this year than they did last year, and still have their hands full with the Huskies. Utah St. managed to get 14 points on Oregon so far, so maybe their defense does have some weaknesses.

by cexeko on Sep 6, 2008 2:18 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

cexeko, you may be right. Oregon just settled for a field goal. I would expect that when you steamroll a team, you wouldn’t need to settle for FG’s. That either means Utah St might be a little better then anyone will ever give them credit for or Oregon is not as mighty as everyone is giving them credit for.

So, ECU looks pretty dang good so far

by Nick on Sep 6, 2008 2:25 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah! ISU scored!

by goodhandsman on Sep 6, 2008 2:49 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

What a way for the BYU-Washington game to end. Shades of BSU @ Oregon State, if you ask me. That was some pretty unfair stuff.

Also, I’m surprised Idaho has 21 points already. Anyone watching? Did they get a two-touchdown head start or what?

by kevanlee on Sep 6, 2008 3:25 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Is anyone else as astonished as I am at the Eastern Washington at Colorado game. EWU is a FCS team, right now its is tied at 24 near the end of the game. I think Colorado may lose this game.

by goodhandsman on Sep 6, 2008 3:32 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Idaho scored on the first play. A bomb. Then they scored on a fumble, or blocked punt, er sumpthin’.

 OK, I have to vent! Jake Locker got screwed with that stupid ‘excessive celebration’ rule. I hate that stupid rule! They change the clock rules, when it was fine the way it was, but they leave that stupid excessive celebration rule in. I didn’t care who won the BYU/UW game, but I hate to see it end that way. Yeh, I know,they should have made the point-after anyway, but I still hate it when they call that foul just for a player showing emotion. Thanks. I’m fine, now.

SDSU just got screwed on a fumble call. I hope they can hold off ND. Man, Charlie Weiss is fat

by Nick on Sep 6, 2008 3:47 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Colorado pulled out a win. Hawkins avoided losing twice to FCS schools.
San Diego State is beating Notre Dame. hahahahahahahaha

by TitoRay on Sep 6, 2008 3:50 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

how about ECU tearing up West Virginia so far?

by Jeffro on Sep 6, 2008 4:03 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

It’s insane, how great ECU is playing. They are totally dominating the #8 team in the country. How high do you think they will be rated next week?

by TitoRay on Sep 6, 2008 4:08 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

The only thing to keep ECU from going undefeated the rest of the year will be their own apathy

by Nick on Sep 6, 2008 4:23 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Just saw the end of the UW BYU game. That call was BS. Also, ECU should be ranked higher than BYU next week

by Nick on Sep 6, 2008 4:36 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Weird day. Idaho finds its offense (it must have been hiding under Akey’s mustache), BYU gets a Mormon officiating crew, East Carolina might be the best team in the country, Colorado escapes Eastern Washington(!), and San Diego State gives Notre Dame all it can handle. Did I miss anything? Probably. The day’s not even over yet.

by kevanlee on Sep 6, 2008 6:23 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

How about Utah State putting 24 points up on Oregon? Never saw that coming.

by Nick on Sep 6, 2008 6:35 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

That really sucks that Bowling Green laid an egg in the 4th quarter and got thumped by Minnesota. I was looking forward to a 2-0 team getting thrashed on the blue next week.

by Tron on Sep 6, 2008 9:43 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

ECU makes me nervous. The rest of their schedule is very winnable and they will probably end up in the top 20 for sure, maybe top 15 this week after dominating WV. BYU will hopefully lost to UCLA next week and they probably will stumble along the way, possibly at TCU or Utah. If it comes down to an undefeated ECU and an undefeated Boise State, ECU will get the nod after beating two top 25 teams which would make me sick.

They’ll slip up somewhere.
