Other games Week of 08/27
College football is back. It’s Kool-aid weekend, every team in the country can claim that they are tied for first in their conference. Unfortunately for some schools this weekend they add the first ingredient for the Jim Jones recipe.
Big game of the week getting all the attention gives us Northwestern against Nebraska in of all places Dublin, Ireland. Both are bad football teams but at least Northwestern grads can look forward to fat paychecks, Nebraska grads are left to be happy with a fat spouse. If Nebraska manages to do what they do frequently and lose somebody needs to remind Scott Frost that the players he throws under the bus need to be on the left side of the road.
Most of the other games involve BCS teams playing lower division games as a warm up and to pad their records but there are a couple games of local interest.
Wyoming who went bowling last year opens their season at P5 Illinois who was 5-7 last year.
New Mexico State who should be lower division gets to start losing early against Nevada.
Who will be the worst team in major college football? Connecticut made a good argument last year and will do so again. Consider that their only win was a 6 point domination of mighty FCS Yale. For the season while losing every other game they managed to average losing by more than 3 TDs per game. They get an early start by sacrificing themselves to Utah State.
As a reward for spending the rest of the season getting beat up in the SEC at least the Vanderbuilt football players get to go to Hawaii to start their season.
All of our local small college schools get this weekend off before starting next week.
