Title: Re: *** OFFICIAL College GameDay IN-GAME THREAD *** Post by: Catch Prothro on August 31, 2013, 08:52:05 AM Finebaum: "Gene Chizik was the worst coach to ever win a national championship." Agreed. The heat and humidity should be a big home field advantage. On a neutral site, it could be really close. WSU is inland, so it is warmer there than on the coast -- upper 80s probably last week, but not nearly as humid.Discussing Aubs: "They'll win 7 games this year, but Washington State is god enough to challenge them." :unsure: Me: "If WSU beats Aubrun today (in Auburn), in this heat and humidity, Aubrun should disband their team."

Slingbox and decent internet are a wonderful combination. Title: Re: *** OFFICIAL College GameDay IN-GAME THREAD *** Post by: Chechem on August 31, 2013, 09:00:02 AM Just chuckled to myself: "Heat and Humility".
4th quarter should be ugly. You're right, CP, it's inland. Been there. It's not Seattle, but nothing can prepare a player to face the deep South's summer heat. I don't know how any of us who practiced during August, without water (1960s mentality :wall: ), survived. It was a nightmare. About 5 years ago I went to a hs reunion. I had tears erupt when I saw the water cooler in the locker room. It all came back to me. We fought to get in line for it after running sprints at the end of practice. Coach wouldn't allow us but one water cooler. Red clay, dust, pea gravel, and choked lungs. Never forget!

Buffalo only won 4 games last year (against teams I never heard of), so it looks like another year for them. Title: Re: *** OFFICIAL College GameDay & Early Games IN-GAME THREAD *** Post by: Chechem on August 31, 2013, 11:59:03 AM William and Mary 7 WV 7 2nd quarter.
