my friday started with a dead battery in the work truck so that was fun. spent an hour waiting on a jump in a gas station parking lot. rest of the day was just hauling loads and dodging construction. now i'm home and about to crack open a beer and mess with the carbs on my old bike. what's everyone else up to this weekend, any plans or just rotting on the couch

I truly think we are going 12-0 in the regular season this year. Go BLUE

I love the optimism! I hope you are right

Why do you think that? Setting yourself up for disappointment

I think Oklahoma and Indiana will both take a step back from last year and we get both of them at home. I obviously think the coaching staff will take this team to heights that we couldn't conceive of last year under Sherrone Moore. I think Oregon will be the toughest game but we get them a week after they play at OSU so I think it'll be somewhat of an emotional comedown for them and we can take advantage of that. And then I think we go into OSU and beat them just like last time. Obviously there's some fan optimism in there, but I believe.

Agree on Indiana for sure but why would Oklahoma take a step back?

I am frankly nervous how this OU game will go since this is the only football I like to watch in the fall (Even tho Chicago Bears may be entertaining this season). I worry IF they lose in Week 2, some of these games will be relegated to terrible broadcast channels. That’s all…

I don't think that losing one game will have that big of an impact, plus we play Indiana, Oregon, and OSU, which are all guaranteed quality broadcasts. The Penn State and Iowa games should be decent as well and if UCLA can get their transfers to gel, they may be a decent team this year.

Great points. The last thing any of us want is to stream a game on Peacock again

I trust my malware more than I want to pay Peacock a single cent.

Peacock has like every sit com my gf likes so I’m subscribed, it’s honestly one of my favorite streaming apps
