Week 1: Good4 U vs Sux2B U

Each week I'm calling out the good and the bad of the previous college weekend. The universities that are enjoying the best of times, and the ones who, well, wouldn't mind a reset. Plus other people who are loving life, and those who would love to not be in the place they find themselves in. Did you throw the winning touchdown pass? Good4 U! Did you fumble the ball on the 1 because you started your touchdown dance too early? Sux2B U!


Good4 U!

The Pac-12 Conference: So far this season they're 13-0. Now that's a conference that doesn't get dismembered without a fight.

Manufacturers of Colorado Buffaloes gear: Orders for the white hat and hoodie worn by coach Deion Sanders have spiked since the Buffs took down last year's national finalists from TCU. And it won't be long before people learn where to get the shades.

The Duke Blue Devils: Outscored Clemson 22-0 in the second half for a 28-7 at Cameron Outdoor Center. Looks like they're a football school now.

Dudes named Travis: Colorado's do-everything player Travis Hunter was on the field for nearly 120 snaps on both sides of the ball, in the Texas heat, and ended the game with 111 yards receiving and a key interception. He's already the early Heisman fave... along with Florida State QB Jordan Travis, who had a second half kids only dream about against LSU. FSU's Travis brought the Noles back from a 17-13 halftime hole by outscoring the Tigers 31-7 on the way to a 45-24 rout. On the night he was 23-for-31 for 342 yards and 4 TDs. Shabby they are not.

D.J. Uiagalelei: I knew it—it wasn't your fault after all!


Sux2B U!

The state of South Carolina: Clemson and South Carolina Gamecock fans just had their season's fates redirected on the first weekend of September. It's gonna be a long road, and it's hurricane season to boot.

Grambling State, Youngstown State, Nicholls State & Charleston Southern: These poor FCS schools have the misfortune to be on the schedules of LSU, Ohio State, TCU and Clemson the week after weeks where they all should have played better. And better they'll play. As you're getting pantsed at the opening coin toss, just think of all the money you're bringing to your athletic programs.

Portland State: Oregon scored again! Just kidding. You need a week of rest. Unfortunately, you play a Wyoming team that thinks they're world beaters after their upset of Texas Tech.
