Our kickoff is around 7:00 p.m. PST and broadcast on FSN, which gives us a long day of anticipation. Our game thread is going to go up around 6:30 p.m. PST.
What better way to spend the day than catching a slate of college football? In early action, the Beavers traveled to Madison to get destroyed by play the Badgers, with Wisconsin's 35-0 shutout ending just moments ago. Ohio State's traditional in-state cream puff game has not gone as planned, as Toledo is taking the Buckeyes to the wire. In the main afternoon games, Alabama squares off against Penn St. at 12:30 p.m., while Oregon and TCU both look to rebound off their upset losses at the same time against Nevada and Air Force, respectively. South Carolina plays Georgia at 1:30 p.m., and BYU travels to Austin to take on the Longhorns. Of course, how can miss Michigan's first ever night game as they host Notre Dame at 5:00 p.m.
If you haven't had a chance, take a look at our BN pick'em thread here. You can also check out our San Jose St. preview here and here.
So if you are watching other games today, share your quick takes, observations or pre game nervous musings, here is our open thread. Have fun.
Go Bruins!

Anyone got a tailgate I can crash?
Last minute changes to plans = I can go to the game! I figure I can get GA tix if nothing else… :) Sounds like I’ll need some cool weather clothes too. 20% chance of rain HT peggysue.
Just Have Finished Suffering...
Watching my alma mater, Iowa, go down to in-state rival Iowa State. The ONLY thing that is going to make me feel better is if we totally wipe out San Jose St. tonight.
Have been checking out the Iowa message boards. Not a happy time in Hawkeyeland right about now…

No, Minnesota Bruin is an old timer here
and the reason a lot of us root for Iowa. Sorry, M B.
And I hope I didn’t just bestow geezer status on you, either.

Always welcome here!
There are plenty of UCLA fans that did not go to UCLA. And until the game starts, this thread is all about college football.
Game televised? Internet linky?
Is this game going to be televised anywhere? Is there going to be another justintv link? TIA!

Looks like Stanford is pulling away now, up 30-7 against Duke
The Trees were sleepwalking in the first half.
Wow. You guys seeing what Paul Richardson is doing for Colorado today?
He has 9 catches for 266 yards and 2 scores early in the 4q. Colorado 23, cal 20.

So will be relying on my Bruin brothers and sister for this one.
Am thinking seriously of switching to Direct TV. Scamcast blows chunks majorly.

So I've been thinking it would be cool
…to catch a home game at each of the celebrated college stadiums. Go see ND in South Bend, UMich at the Big House, etc. Probably start with Michigan since we put a kid through school there and maybe she could get us tickets. What other stadiums should be on the bucket list?
Camp Randall In Mad-Town
Have been there a few times, once when our Bruins were there (in ’82; a 51-26 win) and for two Iowa-Wisconny games. Fantastic town to party and soak up the college atmosphere. And the 5th quarter after the game is quite a sight.
Have always wanted to go to the Big House in Ann Arbor.
TD Jesus was super cool. Would have been even better had we not blown it in the last :27 seconds….

The Big House is awesome.
I’ve only been there for a commencement, though. Now I want to go for a game.
I bet Longhorns stadium would be cool, too.
Holy crap...
Did I just hear the tv say Richardson showed up at ucla and then “changed his mind” and swapped to Colorado?
by DoubleTroubleBruin on Sep 10, 2011 3:31 PM PDT reply actions
Must be an agreement w/ the conferences
Announcers and game analysts always understate an athlete’s legal problems. It’s very frustrating. Just reinforces the notion that as long as you can perform, you can do whatever you please.

Going into tonight
We need to be honest with ourselves.. Even if UCLA loses all of its games this year, Ricky should not be fired. He’s at least a good recruiter and should be given some more time to develop and use the talent. Besides, it’s not like UCLA football is going to attract a Nick Saban or Les Miles.
This comment
Adds nothing to this discussion right now. There will be plenty of opportunities to discus RN’s job security. If you want to contribute in a smart way, chime in when the discussion is taking place in a relevant thread. Otherwise, don’t just drop a comment that is not well supported, and sticks out as a flame bait.
This warning goes for all others who are lurking and thinking about starting stupid, message board style discussion. I am going to delete any comment that even responds to this flame bait. Thanks.
God bless you, Nestor

I have a lot of games to catch up on.
Just returning to life after a night shift and a day littered with kids’ sports. It’s football time now!
greg in denver, U.C.L.A. guy for life - BruinsNation.com
This is one of the rare reasons
I like being two time zones away from LA. As much as it sucks watching games that don’t end until waaay after midnight, it’s a whole lot easier to just watch a game through when my son’s already asleep. Though I record day games to watch at night anyway, it sucks not being able to keep track of scores easily that way. Can’t wait for the game!
Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
interesting note
Texas’ offense was not producing under Gilbert so Mack Brown has a freshman quarterback under center. This is the 3rd series for texas.
aaaannndddd gilbert returns
with a pick. Crowd booing ensues.
Lots of hands on heads in Texas
As BYU is now up 13-0

another pick??
damn. Guess I should not count on seeing Gilbert in action next Saturday.

from what i’ve seen so far their QBs don’t seem to make the best decisions under pressure
Peyton Manning doesn't make good decisions under pressure.
It’s pretty universal.

Heard On The Radio A Bit Ago...
That new Minnesota Head Coach Jerry Kill suffered a seizure towards the end of their game against New Mexico State. Sounds like he’s going to be okay, though. Sounds as if it were the heat up here today and dehydration.

In Utah
There has already been lot of grumbling about Chow’s offense. And we are just in second week.
As a Chow Supporter
I have to admit our O was sooo much better last week. The play calling and execution were so much more dynamic.
At the time, I was sorry to see him go. But, I was wrong. It was a very good move. With the new O staff developing the pistol portion of our O in a thoughtful and knowing way, I think we are in for an exciting season on that side of the ball. Of course, we will be tested by better D’s once we get to conference, but just the play calling is exciting.
Now, to start using 4th downs …
sjh
S Carolina might cover!

can't have it both ways
either you think he’s a bum and Utah’s bad offensive plays show it; or you think he’s a good coach who should have done better last year, and Utah’s good offensive plays show it. Arguing it both ways is disingenuous.
Our coaching staff did not work out last year, for whatever reason; CNC was willing to go away from his experience to install the pistol, and he has been classy since departure. Why the vitriol?
Hey anyone here an NC Bruin? Moving to Chapel Hill in 3 weeks!
I’m sure there are a few here in the Triangle. 3 different ACC football schools within 30 minutes drive, 4 within 1.5 hours. Trying to get season tix to UNC bball, fricking $2500 for 2 uppers.
