Sorry for missing those. I pulled my list from NCAA.com and there was a gap between the games I listed and the rest that I missed. OP is updated, thanks for letting me know!

Good to see The Bear back on ESPN with the Cyclone Helmet as his focal point. love that guy.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Yuck, I’ll just wait till next week.

 

[helechopper]

Time for Corso to hang it up. He didn’t hit his mark, slur’s words, and isn’t funny. Love the guy but it’s uncomfortable watching him on TV.

 

[cycloneworld]

The Bear still on the ISU bandwagon!

 

[CysRage]

The media wants Nebraska to be back so bad. How about Nebraska works on bowl eligibility this year first?

Maybe it’s just Week 0 and everyone’s a bit rusty, but for me it’s hard not to see the shadow of realignment hanging over this entire production, much more than last year. Network allegiances can no longer hide behind the guise of national interest…it’s now all out there in the open…FOX v. ESPN, the attempts of impartiality are cringe. And the thought of ESPN getting our Tier 1, using the same preferential marketing tactics, and being mixed in with the SEC and ACC…having to sit through all that propaganda for a two-second nugget of Big 12 information…depressing.

The funny thing is that the others on Gameday are so bothered that The Bear is always talking the Cyclones. Love it!

 

[cstrunk]

Herby ribbing on Bear for picking ISU in the past.

Kirk has his panties in a bind about ISU. Hope we can shove them down his throat.

 

[MeowingCows]

Bear was quite complementary of us during that schpeel. Implied he doesn't see us taking a big step back this year and he'd personally take the over on our win total.

 

[BCClone]

Bear picks TCU.

 

[Kaner04]

Of course Rece Davis likes Kansas State to win.

Enjoy what little bit of media impartiality is still left in college football. Once these Power 2 conferences form, it’s literally going to feel like two separate leagues of college football (SEC & Big Ten then everyone else), that is if you consider the Power 2 teams amateur and not semi pro. But hey this is great for college football, am I right SEC and Big Ten fans?!

Of course Rece Davis likes Kansas State to win.

He laughs at bear with TCU but picks Kstate, what a douche.

 

[CysRage]

He laughs at bear with TCU but picks Kstate, what a douche.

I still don’t understand the KState love (don’t get me wrong, ISU shouldn’t be getting picked to win the conference either) but what has KState shown that warrants first place predictions besides beating an extremely overrated (and depleted due to opt outs) LSU team? They had to fire their offensive coordinator but they think things will be immediately better? Not saying they won’t be better but in my opinion there are too many unknowns that keeps them from being a first place pick.

I just find it really weird he craps on ISU for 4 years now and KState gets Adrian Martinez and he can’t keep his boner in his pants. It’s just all too funny to me.

…that’s it right there…that’s as far as their research goes.
