BN Gameday: Stanford Pre Game Thread

We get our first 12:30 ABC game today. So we don't have to wait all afternoon and early evening for kickoff. I can wait till 12:00 pm to put up our game thread. But putting up these pre-game threads have been good mojo here on BN. I don't like messing around with mojo especially when it comes to UCLA. So here we go.
Some decent early games to keep track off anyway. Wisconsin (against Minnesota) and Michigan (against Michigan State) are locked in decent early games as they try to remain undefeated Big-10 teams. Also other decent teams to keep track of are Iowa (coming off a huge win in Happy Valley), Virginia Tech and Alabama. As usual keep track of the scoreboard via WWL here.
So lets ride through this pre game thread till about 30 minutes before the kickoff. Of course don't forget to get your pregame guesses in as we will close that thead when the game one goes up.
Anyway, what games are you watching to get ready for our kickoff? Fire away.
GO BRUINS.

Mornin' Nestor And Fellow Bruins
Flipping back and forth between my alma mater, Iowa, with their game against non-conference foe Arkansas St., Wisconny and Minnesota not far from me, and Michigan and Michigan St. over on the Big 10 Network.
Not sure what to think about our game today. I just know I have a bad feeling when Kirk Herbstreit picks against us in conference games.

True
Even KH neglected to recognize that it’s Kevin CRAFT at QB today for us; not Kevin PRINCE. Sheesh.

BTW, How's The Weather Supposed To Be In Palo Alto Today?
I’m assuming it’s supposed to be pretty good…..haven’t watched the Weather Channel today.
Nasty, cold, raw, rainy day here in the upper midwest as you can most likely detect from watching the early games.

I think it's supposed to be all right
in the 70s I think. It’s beautiful out here on the East Coast.

high between 70-72
with the 12:30 kickoff, should be in the mid-upper 60’s through much of the game.

Kentucky gets a FG

How do you handle waiting for the 7:30pm Bruin starts? That’s 10:30pm your time! I can’t stand waiting till 12:30!!!!
Mich St. about to score again…

It is absolutely intolerable.
I recently moved back to Europe and it is indescribable how hard it is to wait until Sunday for the UCLA games. A 12:30 start just allows me watch it in its entirety on a Saturday – cannot wait. Luckily I have BN to keep me occupied until game time.

Will Miss the Game Day Thread -- Will Watch Game Later on DVR
I believe in the Karma of this thread and the game management by Nestor when he changes to new threads.
Sorry won’t be with all of you. It has become an important game day ritual.
But, Jen is in a Band/Guard competition, today, and the Texas School system didn’t have the decency to respect our game schedule.
My cousin, “not a test” is here, from Boston. She had to see our local Houston version of Friday Night Lights — in person, and was blown away by Texas high school football and the pageantry.
We’ve agreed to stay away from the thread so as not to jinx all of you who are actively in the game and pushing the team to victory.
Carry on brothers and sisters.
Go Bruins!

Going back to when we beat U$C in trible overtime at home… A group of us in section 19 were chanting I believe! I think KC is going to do just fine today. Not doing to much, just managing the game baby! Wooo… I’m so excited.. Thanks for the video post, YEAH!!! Give me an 8 Clap!

Good quality production, IMHO. A lot of expert analysis by both former coaches and players for both football and hoops. Friday night’s before college football Saturday’s are very good.

But wouldn’t surprise me if the weather is a factor slowing down Michigan…
Meanwhile, Michigan St. just fumbled and Michigan recovers in Michigan St. territory at the Michigan St. 46. This one may not be over yet.
