First game kicks off at 10:30 with Eastern Michigan vs. something called Spring Arbor.

Let's do this!

Wish they would stop jerking us around and get the spreads up

So many games with no spreads still

Looks like if you go to ESPN's scoreboard they are only putting the spreads for the games involving ranked teams. I'd try Bovada or Oddsmakers.

Really? I just assumed those sites would have them all, but I didn't check before. That's gotta be unusual.

Cincy only leads Savannah State by 9 midway through the 2nd half. For reference Savannah State is rated #329 in KenPom. Would have to be the biggest upset of all-time(not saying it's gonna happen)

Pac12 and DirectTV still haven't worked out their shit.

Thank God for SlingTV

Our defense is pathetic. This was the biggest concern when our philosophy changed. Impossible to maintain intensity on defense when we go up-tempo. We're only human.

Luckily we get a few more cupcakes to get our legs under us.

It is crazy how much of a different philosophy there is now, as opposed to like 4 years ago. I think you guys are gonna be really good, mostly because the offense was going to be as good as ever under Cronin. And I thought just based on history the defense wouldn't take a step back. Ya'll still won by 30 though, and covered, so that's good. lol..

Into, what, year 4 or 5 of this shit? This was one of the main reasons I went with Dish Network.

Penn State just tipped against Campbell and Chris Clemons, who averaged 25 as a sophomore last year. Campbell projects to be bad again, but he makes this game worth watching. Plus PSU has the opportunity to be a bubble team this year IMO.

First mild upset with Lamar beating Tulsa. Not a good look for the American(even though it should be better this season)

Early season games often don't have lines if they involve a major vs low major team. Especially if the major team is good

So we have a former assistant coach under federal indictment. A projected starter and our only incoming Freshman are suspended indefinitely. We find out today our best player is going to sit until this mess gets sorted out.

Really looking forward to this season. Gonna be a blast!

Right now, I'm watching the Armed Forces Classic: WVU vs Tex A&M, West Virginia off to a solid start in this game.

 

[podsox]

50 on West Virginia is so f'n lazy

 

[Texas Jefe]

We gonna have the pick'em tourney this year?

And, Hookem!

UK down 9 at half and Indiana down 21(!) at half to Indiana State, worth keeping an eye on both.

Pretty insane. Texas A&M destroyed WV as well.
