Week 0 Games Thread

I think the best way for this to work is for people to post a parent comment for any game they're watching. But honestly y'all can do whatever, I'm not a mod

Edit: I would also encourage sorting by new, but ya know, I'm not signing your check

Notre Dame vs. Navy
NBC
- I'm gonna say it... I don't much like the new clock rules
  
  Don't remember hearing about them. Care to enlighten me?
- That's simultaneously DPI and OPI on 89 for Navy! Gotta call that, ref!
- Week 0 and absolute ass tackling, name a more iconic duo
- Very surprised that Sam is still in there
  
  Welp I guess that's why he's still in
  
  Let's see some Angeli
- Audric YEStime
  
  BESTime
- I know the DB got there a beat early on that incompletion, but I'm 100% fine with that as a no call on an underthrown ball. Defenders should be entitled to some reasonable amount of inertia along their existing vector. Nothing feels cheaper than a "let him run into me" DPI call.
  
  Not that it's gonna matter in this game, LOL.
  
  Let the boys play is just a general rule of thumb for me. Unless that contact is egregious and obviously impacted the outcome of the play I think the no call is good.
- Looks like a lovely day for football
  
  The Aviva is also a nice stadium. I do always hope some player will sneak a hurley onto the field.
- Alright, I think I've got my sicko fill for the early window. Gonna get some other stuff done until maybe the Hawaii-Vandy game.
- Academies absolutely cannot play undisciplined, but I guess it didn't matter.
- Hartman is good. Navy isn't an FCS team, this is exciting, 5/5 touchdown drives my goodness
- Go Irish!
- I'm going to give it at least the entire first quarter to see if Navy has anything up their sleeves, but this may be more of a ceremonial start of the season for me.
  
  Yeah I was really hoping Navy would look ready and nd would look shaky. Not sure that's what we're getting
- I assume Jac Collinsworth is on some kind of registry that precludes him from international travel.
I’m a sign, not a cop.

THEY AIN'T GOT NO MODS, PAAAAWWWWWWLLL!
JSU vs UTEP

CBS
- UTEP has, umm, a lot to work on.
- This should have been the opening game. Way more entertaining than ND vs Navy.
- Any of you sickos watching this one?
  
  Good luck friend ND fan only
  
  Just tuned in since the lightning delay at Vandy has them showing a Kirby circle jerk. How is that dude somehow so much more self-absorbed than Nick Fuckin' Saban?
  
  I've always been fond of UTEP, but JSU looks like the more entertaining team. Fun Belt is turned it up a notch the past few years, building a geographically coherent conference of schools that are not really big time, but are kind of in traditional college towns or smaller cities where people will care about them.
  
  Hell Yeah Go Cocks
- oof, definite fumble on the production there cbs
- The audacity to claim the rule changes are for safety and not ultimately driven by corporate america slithering its tentacles into the sport is disgusting.
- PUNT OF THE SEASON ALERT
- The theme still fuckin slaps yo
Hawaii at Vandy in lightning delay

Edit: the game will start 1h15m after they get the all clear from lightning. We might have a late one here
- You enjoying watching Marty and McGee see how far they can shove their heads up Kirby's ass?
  
  Hell no
  
  North Alabama and Mercer are in the 4th quarter
- wtf kinda camera view is this?
  
  edit; lmao I will donate money to a cause if one of the kickers hits that camera, I could hear it on that point after
NMST vs UMASS

ESPN
- Say what you will about Umass, apparently they have a legit punter
- Another solid 1st qtr punt. Not quite as good as jsu utep.
