Saturdays Ruined

[BlueDogs]

Somehow PP has ruined my CFB junkie verve this week.

 

[J187Money]

Me too. Really need a win next week to put me in the right frame of mind.

I can't even watch college football. Last week, and this week, it's just depressing to watch other teams being....well coached, or....competent

so depressing

 

[J187Money]

I'm also a Badger fan so watching them feels good. The Utah State coach they got seems to have it together.

 

[sportsart]

I only watch to see my hated teams, which are many, lose.

That's the kind of thing that is so depressing. I keep thinking "how come other teams can have nice things" ???

 

[BugsyCT]

Even tough getting into watching our current conference mates perform. (Houston & Temple have a decent one going) Used to be no problem a few years ago when the BEast was trying to prove itself as a BCS conference vs the big boys.

Now......life just sucks for us in CFB land.

 

[TRest]

Watching Cincy get beat down and another empty Temple home game puts our conference in perspective. Minor league.

 

[Dooley]

I still haven't watched a full game since Towson. I too am also really pulling for a win over Maryland to snap me out of this funkytown. Couple Towson with the fact that all of my fantasy baseball teams (yes, I am a geek) are in contention so making the transition from baseball to football is really sluggish.

 

[uconntailgater]

I just cannot get into college football this year. That lost to Townson has just sucked all of my passion for college football this year. Couple that with the fact how horribly the AAC' has been playing has he really been a big buzz kill.

 

[BlueDogs]

I'm watching Michigan put up 27 in the first half on ND, and am totally befuddled at just how far we have fallen. I would have watched this 2 years ago and be thinking, ND sucks our D can shut them down and we can win in the trenches on O. Today, I wonder how many points they put up on us and how bad of an kicking we get.

I dragged myself to the KU home opener. I was hoping that KU would look worse than UConn but I was disappointed.

Not a bad stadium or atmosphere. South Dakota kept it interesting, and they just moved up to FCS... KU is going to get shelled in the Big 12 again.

Rock Chalk, JayHawk, KU is a bit better/more spontaneous than Blue - White eh?

Mine: RU, SU, ND, USC, DUKE

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Coach PP has killed this program and ruined many royal fans' interest in college football. I am watching SJSU vs. Stanford right now and I swear SJSU would put a whooping on UCONN right now if we line up. A few years ago that would not be possible but it is probably the reality today. SJSU has gone way up while UCONN is near the bottom.

Why Warde kept this guy around after last season is anyone's guess. School can't be this cheap by not buying him out. In the end, it could cost UCONN millions in lost revenue from fans and this conference realignment mess. I blame it all on Hathaway and PP. They both blow.

I used to get excited for any BE football games. I'd watch, and get excited, for crap like USF@Pitt and Cuse@Rutgers. It's not just our conference games that have lost their luster. I didn't even care to watch SC@UGA. I hate to say it, but we can't put all the blame at P's feet. Conference realignment and the NCAA's ridiculous handling of their scandals has just as much to do with why I don't care nearly as much as I used to. How does UNC even still have their accreditation, much less not have any fall-out after an entire academic department is found to be fraudulent?

I agree 100% about conference realignment killing Saturdays for me too.

I used to have a handful of "hated" teams that I would love to watch to see if they would lose (BC, Miami, Florida State, etc.). I also had a bunch of teams that I loved to watch to see if they would win (other Big East teams, Temple, Baylor, Northwestern, Boise, Penn State, etc.). Conference realignment has made it so that I hate 70% of the teams out there and I look at the other 30% as possible competition for the next realignment. Therefore, for the first time ever, I don't care if Cincy wins or if USF wins or if Temple wins or if Boise wins or....you get the picture...

Especially ND losing!!!

KU was the worst football team in FBS last year. That school has a preponderance of hit blonde coeds and a great on campus stadium.

Everyone wears the right color clothing.

Everyone knows what to do when they score a touchdown.

I liked the game day atmosphere @ Memorial. Saw them beat CU and Ralphie back in 2010.

You too? Funny, Temple still playing to empty stadium . . . called that one a few years ago when people were calling to bring them back into the BE. Why?

Me too. I've gotten to the point that I hate all teams. Don't want any of the "outside-looking-in's" to do well and end up pulling a Louisville on us. But also hate the Power Conference Schools. Hate ESPN for not helping Connecticut during CR. Can't stand Herby and Musburger creaming while providing the call for their televised games. Herby got "chills" from Brent's intro on the tradition of Michigan football. What a weak a## excuse for an announcer.
