Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

Early Games Open Thread

A full slate of non-conference games are on tab for today.  The games are as follows:

Air Force @ Navy: 1:30pm MST on CBS College

New Mexico @ Texas Tech 1:30 pm MST on Fox Sports Net

Wyoming @ Florida Atlantic:  2:00 pm MST no TV (and who really cares)

UNLV @ Nevada: 2:00 pm MST  no TV (sad this should be a good one)

As always bring the comments and lets all cheer on New Mexico because if they hold Texas Tech under 65 points that is a victory in itself.

Let's hear what you think. Register for a free account here on the site and leave your comments, predictions and other game day chatter below in the comments section.

Clemson vs. Maryland

Clemson better not lose to Maryland. That would hurt TCU

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 10:57 AM PDT reply actions  

virginia beat north carolina

that helps tcu a little. no doubt the acc will have a 2 win team win their conference. they will only get the automatic bcs bid. one team in. same thing with big east. south florida won vs syracuse but i believe there were six turnovers in that game for syracuse. cincy will have one loss as their schedule gets much harder the last four games. the big east will only get their one automatic bid. the way stanford and oregon are playing i think this is the year usc will finish second. peace out.

It will be hard with a bye week

I imagine people will forget about them a bit, also I don’t think you should move up or down to much by not playing anyone. But the chances are there as you noted.

Navy AF

Anyone catch how Navy scored? I missed the first 12 minutes…

So far Jefferson looking good though.

I don't want to jinx it

But a certain horribly awful team is tied on the road with another team.

Pick 6 for Air Force

Ties it at 7. 2nd week in a row with a pick 6 for Anthonry Wright Jr.

Tim Jefferson down again

It didn’t look good, I imagine we will see Connor Dietz the rest of the game.

It looked like Jeffersons ankle too, not good news.

UNM is back on the field

Can we figure out who stole their uniforms in the 1st half?

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:06 PM PDT reply actions  

Two back to back fumbles

in the AF game. Gives life and the ball back to Air Force after what looked like a game killing fumble on a Jefferson handoff.

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:10 PM PDT reply actions  

Huge penalty

gives air force the ball back after what would have been a game ending INT.

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:29 PM PDT reply actions  

Good!

Going to overtime. That was an ugly kick but it went through.

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:33 PM PDT reply actions  

UNM is doiong it!!

They will lose but looks like they are holding TT under 65. Chalk one up for moral victory.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:38 PM PDT reply actions  

FSU better win

If they lose to BC that hurts BYU even more

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:39 PM PDT reply actions  

came just in time

For the Navy/AFA game I have been working today and no internet access.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:40 PM PDT reply actions  

Navy goes for a FG in their first OT poss.

Its good! AFA needs at least 3

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:41 PM PDT reply actions  

Just short

AFA goes for it… 4&1

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:43 PM PDT reply actions  

Maybe...

Calhoun called a timeout.

Fresh set of downs for the Falcons.

Lucky

I think he should have kicked it, but I just tuned into the game.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:45 PM PDT reply actions  

Didn't gain much yardage for the kicker.

They have to kick it now.

MISSED IT!

Navy wins!

SEC Action

Georgia just went ahead of LSU with a minute left. The only other intresting game on.

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:50 PM PDT reply actions  

FSU/BC

That game is close. BC just scored, FSU needs to win or BYU will look really, really bad.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:50 PM PDT reply actions  

I wasn't getting that game.

Penn State game is over so its on now.

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

Got shook up

Never heard a diagnosis, but I am guessing head. He never came back out after halftime.

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:52 PM PDT up reply actions  

OK thanks

IF UNM was any good they would be in this game Tech has five turnovers.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:53 PM PDT reply actions  

TD LSU

Crazy finish… Georgia has 45 seconds to respond. Down 13-20.

The refs are going happy on the celebration calls… Stupid!

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:54 PM PDT reply actions  

Its a celebration penalty

to raise your fingers up to the air?!?! What??

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

The late game

With CSU/Idaho hopefully will be good. Idaho has been a surprise and somewhat so has CSU.

by Jeremy Mauss on Oct 3, 2009 3:54 PM PDT reply actions  

Agreed

It should be hard fought the whole 60 minutes.

Bring back Fum's Song!

by bhsmarine on Oct 3, 2009 3:56 PM PDT up reply actions  

Ohh!!

Also CBSsports needs to have a full screen version. I like the HQ version but justin.tv has full screen.
