I'm going to keep this thread updated thru the season. Put your guesses in now.

Saturday Aug 23rd, Dublin Ireland, #22 Iowa State vs #17 Kansas State. ESPN. Noon.

There are other games the same day but that one sticks out as a good match up. Farmeggedon in Ireland.

There a a ton of great first game matchups for week 1 coming up.

fyi,

A tribute to Lee Corso on ESPN Friday (Aug 22) at 9 PM.

Lee Corso's last ESPN College Gameday is Saturday Aug 30th.

Lee Corso just turned 90.

Miami fan here. I got season tix. First up: Domers. This is a historic rivalry. This a game that will set the tone for the season. (for both teams)
A new year is always full of optimism. I think the Beck Aquisition is stellar. The defense has been totally retooled.

The last time we got the Domers at the Rock (2017) they were crushed. Hard to expect a similar result. I predict a tight score, down to the wire with a CANE victory.

We get the gators for our 4th game, also at home.

8 game home schedule.

So if you are a surfer I wish you the prosperity that allows you more time to pursue the salt water dream, and the true happiness that comes from warm water, clean waves and the companionship of your fellow surfers. If you are an internet troll just spewing bs then f off.

The Canes have a tough schedule this year! Georgia Beck was a good pick up. Game manager rather than hero. It's interesting to see them top ten preseason.

UCF pulled off a last minute drive and TD to win the game last night over Jax State. 17-10. UCF had too many penalties and played poorly the first half. Score was 0-0 at half time. There was a 2 hour rain delay after the end of the 1st quarter and our starting Qb got knocked out of the game on a targeting penalty. But, the 2nd string Qb came in and played pretty good to get the win.

Jax State, new coach, totally new team since last year's C-USA Championship team. They came to play and actually should have won that game. UCF just had a little more talent at the end to snatch the upset from happening.

UCF came in as 20 point favorites and way under the total points. UCF will get better from this. First game jitters. Scott Frost called a great game. Just too many self inflicting penalties. The score should have been 30+ to 10.
