Monday August 25 Open Thread

Well, that was a good start to the season! Thanks to all who hung around the OTR Pub and shot the shit on Saturday. ISU-KSU was a messy, sloppy, delightful affair, UNLV needed a lot to break right to beat Idaho State (!), the Rainbow Warriors nailed a walk-off FG to beat noted ACC (All Coasts Conference?) member Stanford, and Kansas showed off its fancy redesigned stadium by beating the piss out of Fresno State. Oh! And Western Kentucky destroyed Sam Houston so thoroughly that they now spell Bearcats properly.

There are 17 (!!!) games on this Thursday, four of them involving our beloved conference. Another 11 games on Friday, with two Big Ten teams involved. And then the big day itself, with [hey, I'm not counting all of those games, it seems like a lot] games on throughout the day from noon ET to 11 PM ET starts between Washington and Colorado State, plus UCLA v Utah . The Pac 12 After Dark is under new management; welcome to Late Night Big Ten.
