Northwestern, for some reason, is playing in Ireland against Nebraska. Cornhusker fans travel, but do they travel that far? Northwestern fans don't even travel to Evanston. I'm sure all the Ryans will be there.

I am excited to see the new ND coach. I never liked Kelly, but he turned out to keep them competitive. I still think they can be close to SEC quality with better recruiting. It may not be possible…..but a boy can dream.

I have at least a handful of friends whose kids went to SEC schools this year...Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia...hell, even Ole Miss. Nobody went to Arkansas. These kids are sleeping on NWA.

Alabama is really good to kids from out of state with financial aid/scholarships, I have known several kids from Wisconsin that have gone down there.

I'll be moving my kid back into school Saturday, so I won't be able to watch much until later. It's always exhausting for my old ass so maybe I can pour myself into a booth at Martin's and stare while having a drink.

That's why I loved when my sons got through sophomore years, they didn't need my help. I could just guarantee rental contracts and send money for anything they didn't scavenge from home.

My wife absolutely relishes in maximum involvement with move in. I have no daughters so I have to give her these moments. Meanwhile, DC is much more hilly than people know and it seems like every dorm is at the top of a mountain and its hot and humid as a rainforest in August. Finish by 4:30, hit a mass at the shrine and then its michelob time at bar.

I just remembered how much money I could drop getting my sons set up in short order. But I never hit a bar, just a store, a restaurant and back to the hotel with AC and plenty of ice.

Maybe GD can affirm, but I’m getting some advice to take the points and ML of NMST against Nevada Saturday. Apparently Nevada is kinda starting over and can be had. Seems tempting.

All reports are that Nevada will be bad. Norvell left and a handful of their best players followed him to Colorado State. They don't have many returning starters and will need to retool. At +250 at home, that seems like a decent play to go ML on New Mexico State. Just know that NMST is really bad too so depending on being at home to bring that one home.
