Berry, you call the Nevada-Wisky game a clunker, that U-dub will dominate, but you like the OSU-UA matchup? Do you remember the Alamo Bowl? What’s different now, pray tell? And you don’t think UO will dominate Cal? Whoa, we’re looking at a blowout in that one! And I don’t think we even have to START on what a whoopin’ LSU will put on MSU. None of these games have any real appeal, nor do they promise to be remotely competitive.

Barry, I agree it will be a clunker. With that, I can’t understand how the OSU/Louisiana game on Fox Sport College will not be on Cox Cable in Tulsa or OKC. In this day and age, if that game is going to be broadcast free in places like Colorado, it should be picked up in OSU territory. This is 2011 not 1995. Unbelievable.

Wisconsin is always good for a clunker performance early in the season (see Arizona State last year, Citadel, etc.). Don’t be surprised if they get all they want from the Rebels.

Are you kidding me? Just because you are not close to or familiar with the teams playing Thursday night does not mean they are duds. The Wake/Syracuse game should be a helluva game. Wake has one of the best head coaches in America.

I agree Berry, Plus, what is with the Labor Day game Miami vs. Maryland couldn’t they get LSU vs. Oregon or Boise St. Vs. Georgia to move to that evening rather than be on at the same time Saturday Night. It makes me wonder who is in charge of their scheduling.
