Baylor would be a better fit in Ireland.

I don't really do expectations any more, don't pay much attention to pre-season rankings or prognostications, but who was favored in this game? Was NC being predicted to be a lot better this season? Just curious.


Yep...it's really impossible to know what you are looking early in the year with college football. I think more than half of the teams that were last year's preseason top 25 finished the year outside of it.

There is really no way to know if this means TCU has slipped… Or UNC has made vast improvements.

Also as someone mentioned above… This is also kind of a weird game having to start overseas.

Im sure TCU fans are having a panic right now though on KillerFrogs

You hate to see it...

Still, you can't really take this one too seriously. First game of the season, often weird. Then you add an overseas trip, definitely makes for weirdness,

No telling really about either of these teams. Belichick is still a great coach, so I wouldn't count him out. Maybe he's making adjustments after his first season in the college game. Good coaches learn from their mistakes and weaknesses and adjust.

Chalk up a big fat L for the toads. Undisciplined & unprepared is a great combination to start off a season.

Yeah. Not kicking at the end also killed them. Stupid decision but he's always been mid

Will still beat Daveypoo this year even after losing to the team picked to finish 15th in the ACC

Undisciplined off the field last week..and on the field this week..Dykes will be selling term life insurance at this time next year.

And were just a caffiene scandal in Provo that gets Sitake fired and Aranda is the dean of Big 12 coaches!

Definitely had happy feet in the pocket and no intention to run when situations presented.

Questionable coaching calls coupled with poor execution rarely wins football games. That being said I will withhold any judgement of TCU until after our opener next week. We may look just as bad...

Stanford started Q4 up 23-7.

Hawaii just scored their third TD of the quarter to go up 27-23.

I did not realize UNLV had picked up Heisman quarterback Jackson Arnold.

At the half he's got 203 yards, 1 TD, 81% PCT, and 40 yards rushing against Memphis

Late to the thread but the game was a pretty rough watch. Neither team looked great. Honestly a bit like a preseason game with a lot of new dudes trying to get on the same page (UNC) and being undisciplined (TCU). Not sure if transfer portal makes this mor common early in the year.

Already getting tired of hearing "[Player name] 6th year transfer from [School1] by way of [School2] after getting medical redshirt at [School3]."
Maybe just dont say the quiet part out loud and we can at least try to pretend we're watching college kids??


At least we are going to have to wait a few years to hear "...and the former Raider with the touchdown catch, that extends UNLV's lead over Alabama to 28."
