Official College Football Week 2 Gameday Thread

[NAHSTE]

Bama will roll (sorry Woy, facing a freshman QB is a wet dream for a Saban-coached D) Oklahoma and Florida State will both play sloppy but I think OU wins, and I have no idea how to call tOSU-Miami.

I'm pulling for the Canes in that one because I'd like to see them get back to their level, I think college football is more interesting when they are good. But I would like to see Pryor play well and ultimately be treated to a good game.

LSU is on the road at Vandy (sucks that we had to go all the way back to BR in between trips to Atlanta and Nashville since they are only two hours away from each other, but I digress). We should be able to jump out early again, but if we don't it could be a long game. Ultimately I think we pull it out 31-13 or somewhere along those lines. I need to see Michael Ford this game or I'm gonna be at Gary Crowton's offense even more. Gotta get Terrence Toliver more involved as well.

CORAL GABLES – Let’s be bluntly honest: The Horseshoe is over glamorized.
It isn’t intimidating. Nor is it much of a hostile environment.
Yes, it’s an impressively large stadium. And yes, it’s full of rich tradition — the dotting of the “I” is pretty cool.
But it’s not exactly a daunting place to play. The only reason ‘Canes players kept getting asked about it Tuesday, I suspect, is because it seats more than 105,000 (so yeah, there are more available voices to yell). But the Big House in Ann Arbor seats six digits, too. And that’s no house of horrors for opponents either.
The Horseshoe doesn’t come close to The Swamp in Gainesville or Neyland Stadium in Knoxville or a night game at LSU. Those places create a home-field advantage that makes a difference. In conference, Virginia Tech and Clemson are tougher places to play than The Horseshoe. FSU, for a Miami game, is too.
Just my thoughts. ‘Canes players have their own opinions.
Here is what a few of them said about playing at the Horseshoe:
— Adewale Ojomo: “To be honest with you when I go out there on the field I block it all out. I don’t even pay attention to the crowd. I’ve been at Florida, Texas A&M, a lot of big crowds.”
— Colin McCarthy: “I’ve been to a game there before. It’s a crazy atmosphere. We’re excited for the opportunity. We’ve played in games like that. We’ve played up at Florida.”
— Marcus Forston: “I’ve heard it’s a loud stadium, but once you go out there and do what you have to do, you can quiet the crowd.”
— Damien Berry: “I really don’t think it’s going to have an effect on us because wherever Miami is…[Young] Jeezy said it best, ‘We’re going to bring the whole city out.’ Everybody wants to come see us. They ain’t coming just to see Ohio State.”

...

"It's a realistic fact that happened. He became mentally disturbed for the first time since he's been a starter for us because of his inability to communicate."

-- Hayden Fry

"First and foremost, those Columbus fans, those Buckeyes, they know, they really know how to intimidate a team. Especially the young guys; they're very rowdy, they're very loud and they come out in an abundance. They are crazy from the start of the game on... (actually) the start of the week of the game, when you first come in and you are checking out the stadium you see all these people yelling at you, cussing at you, wearing that scarlet and gray, and they have that scarlet and gray in their eyes. Man this is more than a game, this is more than what I expected.

When the game starts and you run on the field and you hear the boos of 100,000 people... I mean it's crazy. Then Ohio State might get their first big play or touchdown... and man, I've never heard anything as loud as when Maurice Clarett came on the field. Now I know he might not be real high in columbus right now... but I've never heard anything as loud as when he came onto the field when we played in 2002 down at the Shoe and he had that 30 yard play, I've never heard anything that loud in my life. I couldn't hear myself think, I couldn't hear the playcalls, we were kinda guessing. And the last play of the game, when we ran all post routes and it got intercepted, that wasn't even supposed to be the play call. But it was so loud down there, Navarre couldn't hear, gave the wrong play call, and we ran the wrong route. And so it was an easy interception, so that's just an example of how it is down there."

-- Braylon Edwards

"Ohio State, man, Ohio State was the loudest place I've ever played. The Rose Bowl is wider and more open, but Ohio State is more closed in and everyone is so loud and on top of you. You could hear all the little things people said about you. Man, that was the toughest place I've ever played."

-- Vince Young

"It was really loud. I think my ears are still ringing a bit. Some of the time the tackles and tight ends couldn't hear me."

-- Matt Barkley
