College football Week 0 thread: Son of a son of a sailor

So I was looking through next weeks College Football schedule, and was more than a little surprised to see Texas Tech @ Wyoming slated for prime time on CBS……not the CBS Sports Network (or the JV Channel as I call it) but the actual big channel.

 

Last I saw of that game was just after halftime, when FIU had a lead and six yards passing. Great halftime adjustment coach!

 

Melba? Was she toasted?

 

I was just doing the same thing to type up our college football TV schedule for next week and saw that we have the game we've been waiting a lifetime for — Miami at Miami.

 

I was surprised to see that, with preseason games ending this weekend, the NFL doesn't start until the weekend after Labor Day weekend. I know in recent years they've avoided starting the season on this weekend to give colleges the spotlight, but why not the final week of exhibitions?

 

I’ll bet on Miami. I can’t lose.

 

What I'd like to see is a Miami/Miami gamer and/or column from a bar in every Miami in America.

There are 11 Miami's: Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia

I passed thru Miami Texas last summer after taking a wrong turn in the panhandle.

 

Druuuunnnnnjk!

 

The Pokes have a chance to make a big splash … or a bellyflop. Guess which one I expect?

 

The two schools have played three times: in 1945, 1946, and in 1987, during a Miami (Florida) national championship season.

Miami (Florida) has won all three games at home, defeating Miami (Ohio) by an all-time scoring margin of 101-33.

Fitting for any Miami vs. Miami matchup, the 1945 meeting was dubbed “The Confusion Bowl.”

The history of the Miami vs. Miami ‘Confusion Bowl’



The two Miamis had to wait a whole 40 years before they played each other again. Sportswriters once again boldly predicted Miami would lose to Miami:

 

If they'd only play it in Miami, Oklahoma. Which is pronounced My-am-ah or something.
