Here is the bad news. We just have two more regular season of college football Saturdays left.  :-( But here is the potentially good news. We are that much closer to openly discussing the candidates for the next football coach at UCLA (well that'd better be the case). We will have our  usual open thread for the Bruins game coming up at 4:15 PDT. Until then, here is an open thread to get everybody through the early afternoon games, as well as chat about some of the later games.

Couple of early games of BN interest - Minnesota @ Northwestern and Nebraska @ Michigan - are wrapping up right now. Here are few more we are going to keep track of leading into ours:

• Penn St. @ Ohio St. (12:30 pm) (ESPN/ABC)
• Boston College @ Notre Dame (12:30 pm) (NBC)
• Miami @ South Florida (12:30 pm) (ESPNU)
• Washington Oregon St. (12:30 pm)
• Utah @ Washington St. (2:00 pm)
• Vanderbilt @ Tennessee (4:00 pm) (ESPNU)

If you are watching these games or tracking others, use this to chat them up. This is your open thread to sound off on all matters related to college football leading to Bruin kickoff today. Fire away.

GO BRUINS.
