5 amazing games today. We start with a top 25 match up in Dublin and end with an ACC flying all the way to Hawaii. It might be the shortest flight they take all year.
Exciting times indeed!!!

Shoot, we had the ACC in the Dublin opener last year and again next year.
#AllCountriesConference?
WE ARE SO BACK HOKIES ARE UNDEFEATED IN 2025 LETS GOOOOO
Stanford opened several weeks ago at 2.5 pt favorites and are now 2.5 at dogs. Hmmm.
Feel like a VT vs WVU in Ireland would be amazing!
I would be there, and my wife might divorce me, but ill be there.
They are calling Iowa St vs Kansas St "Farmagedon". Top notch.
Farm O'Gedon in Ireland
Lock O'Becht
Farm O'Gordon
That's the name of the rivalry since early 2000's but they have played None stop since like 1916.
I've never understood the straight back toss, as opposed to a toss sweep, especially in inclement weather. ISU deserved that turnover.
There was football today?
I was sweating the ISU-KSU under 51.5 and then they kneeled the clock out at the 1 yard line after having a touchdown called back. What a bad beat for the over bettors.
Stanford loses to Hawaii. Wow that program has fallen.
Talk about not funding a program...
they had the fourth highest laud coach when shaw was there
Yeah, but in this era, they chosen to distribute their house money, almost equally across all of their sports, and that does not bode well for football.
I was just adding that they paid $9 mil for a coach and now are getting cheapnfor some reason, they have the money, they just aren't using it wisely.
I don't know if it's that they aren't using it wisely; their priorities might just be different than the rest of us. Time will tell.
Spending any money on Frank Riech isnt wise
Also, to be fair, that program was good for roughly a single decade in the modern era.
The last 3 years are much closer to their norm over the last century than the harbaugh/early Shaw era was.
The story of Hawaiis kicker is phenomenal. From Japan, saw a game and loved it, learned to kick from YouTube videos, went to a community college as a kickoff specialist, worked his way up to beating Stanford.
Hawaii was favored by 2.5. Their home field has to be worth 4 points or so w the flight and everything.
The unsportsmanlike penalty on the Stanford DT celebrating the sack at the end of the first half completely changed the game and frankly was a horseshit call. He wasn't taunting anyone and was doing a dumb dance. After penalty, Hawaii scored a TD two plays later rather than being forced to punt.

ehhh.... that celebration went on for a while, and longer than it needed to. If he had just made his celebration, slapped hands with his teammates, and returned to the LOS he would have been fine. Instead he lingered and kept dancing and got the attention of the ref in the process. Dumb penalty, but probably the right call.
He had atleast 8 hip thrusts when I believe 3 is the limit/s
leg
Yeah, I could see if he had been in the guys face or on the Hawaii sideline taunting the bench maybe, but it was just a super lame call.
