I'm glad football is back; I especially like college football games on Thursday and Friday nights.

 

[rtb1983]

Finally. Just. Finally.

 

[TrueOrange]

To be fair, ESPN3 is more having to watch it over the Internet than it is televised

 

[508mikey]

UNC vs S. Carolina should be a good one -- I will probably watch the Vandy game afterwords -- just to fall asleep

 

[joevol33]

I gotta work dangit!!!!

 

[PrattvilleVol]

ESPN needs to bring back Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried

 

[ATC_VOL]

Pumped for tomorrow. One of the few times that having Wednesday/Thursday as your weekend is a good thing.

 

[UTK]

People are sleeping on Minnesota and TCU. Minnesota should be a pretty solid team, may give TCU fits.

Really? Not saying that smart, I just haven't kept up with them and wouldn't have guessed it.

Go toppers!!

No, please tell me you did not say that.

 

[volwindy]

Dang, I didn't realize there were so many, let's do this!!

It's probably one of the better games that night...or it was at least their lowest point total last year (30-7).

But let's be honest...more of the country will probably be watching Harbaugh's first game at Michigan.

 

[volwindy]

I gotta work dangit!!!!

 

[ainge10heisman]

LOL at Oklahoma State going to Central Michigan.

I miss Ron Franklin..

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

I'll be watching UNC/SCjr, then I'll probably watch the TCU game after that. I may record the Hawaii game and watch it tomorrow.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

ESPN needs to bring back Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried

Yes! They were my favorte crew.

 

[dukes_of_maggard]

Carolina can lose to UNC and if they do, that UK game becomes a big deal at home the following week.

 

[miggy4vols]

I am so glad football is here. I love summer, but the countdown till Thursday night kickoff kills me.

ESPN needs to bring back Ron Franklin and Mike Gottfried

Mike's been very busy Mike Gottfried carries on mission to help fatherless boys with help from Saban | AL.com

and it will probably be a cold day in hell before Ron Franklin ever gets back on ESPN

During a production meeting prior to ESPN's telecast of the Chick-fil-A Bowl on December 31, 2010, Franklin addressed sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards in a condescending tone as "sweet baby"; when she objected, Franklin called her an "*******". The incident was reported to ESPN by another colleague, and ESPN tried to pull Franklin from the Chick Fil-A coverage that night but was unable; instead, Franklin was removed from ESPN Radio's coverage of the 2011 Fiesta Bowl the following day.
