We made it boys.
CFB is back.
Wow, first upset of the season and it's only game 1!
Wow. That was a heck of a FG to end the half.
I am in awe of that kick. Looked like it would have been good even further out, too, maybe up to 65 yards
Disappointing lack of needless surprise onside kicks this year tbh
ESPN, get your act together! If they lined up like that for the 2pt conversion, show it live!! Although I don't think that was planned. Norvell clearly was calling for the PAT just before
Is this the game in Dublin? I was forced to watch part of a Pat McAfee live broadcast from Ireland yesterday while waiting for my lunch to be cooked.
I don’t have any thoughts specific to FSU vs GT, but one of my favorite things about college football is that its arrival means the summer heat will break before too much longer.
Yup, they’re playing in Dublin.
I’m a Miami Hurricanes fan, personally. But this game has some possible conference implications for the Canes.
I just enjoy football season, generally, even if I don’t have too much time to watch games anymore.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
Suck it, Noles!
Do not like the 2-minute warning TO. If you want to be like the NFL, make the ad breaks shorter!
Do I dare to dream that FSU will fuck themselves over in Week Zero? 🤣
Tech came to play today.
Of course the Irish punter is Australian-trained.
It also reminds me of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Rules_Series
stfu espn about most transformative season. The gall to even imply that getting a few extra ad vessels in the form of an expanded playoff is even in the same atmosphere as some actual major evolutions of the sport like integration or the forward pass. Get off my fucking nuts bro
GT marched down the field too. Might be an interesting game...
Hot take: dj is a mediocre qb
I remember he was really underwhelming at Clemson. I didn't watch the Beavs last year. To judge by realignment, I guess relatively few people did. Did he really impress so much that he should have been a target of a team with playoff aspirations?
I think he did decently well out west, and his woes at clemson were attributed to youth and an incompatible system. But idk, he just doesn't seem to read the field quickly imo.
Certainly seems like Tech's strategy is to stay strong vs the run and dare DJ to beat them.
He has no touch on deep balls, and it's going to bite FSU this season.
This has the vibe of a game where the talent will eventually grind it out even though the other team is executing just as well . Glad to see Tech hanging in there in the middle of the second, though.
Counterpoint: maybe fsu is still checked out after last season and have been expecting their talent to ultimately carry them. So a prepared gt team may have a shot
A Gator can hope.
GO FOR THE 60 YARDER, YOU COWARDS!
To the tune of the war chant: Looooong flight hooooooome…
I will hate you later. Today, we celebrate a great day. Go Gators.
Hah! Agreed.
Credit to FSU (yuck). Always use at least two of your timeouts on defense when you need another possession, and really all three if you have confidence in your game management. Your opponent will always use as much time between plays as possible. They need to learn to cram them in before the 2-minute warning though.
Yeah. FSU would be great in the SEC.
We don't want em, hell we dont want OUTAMIZZ
I agree with not having Mizzou. But, FSU is struggling. They would have at least 4 losses in the SEC.
OUTAMIZZ = Okie, Texas, A&M, Mizzou?
Yup, see how clear and concise it is?
That near fumble could have been disastrous for Tech, but looks like they're not missing any momentum on this series
WHAT
A
HIT
The season is finally here!!
What a beautiful stadium. I think it'd be fun to go to one of these Ireland games someday. Shame we're stuck with Tessitore and Palmer in the booth for this one though
Why is it so damn hard to watch espn at an out of state friend's house these days?
Closer game than I thought it’d be in the second quarter.
FSU fans feeling antsy at this point, I can imagine.
Walked it in.
Time to watch the race, here's hoping GT pulls it out!
First quarter felt like a classic Big XII game, second quarter feeling like a classic B1G game
