9/2: College Football Opening Night, etc.

Greetings... First some bullets...

• The Big 10 splits Michigan and Ohio State in divisions... but ensures the every year series.... well, that knocks one big thing out... here's the 2nd.. there's been widespread talk that they may move the game from the end of the year... that would cause outrage from everyone, and probably lead to the Big 10 HQ getting burned to the ground... so the jury's out...
• Nyjer Morgan put on a show last night... if you haven't seen it... youtube that madness
• Tommy Hanson awoke from another brief slumber with a dominant 7 innings to take the Braves to 5 straight wins... much needed, and encouraging from Hanson, who's capable of rattling off 4-5 straight dominant starts....
  

An expanded "what to watch for" looking at the college football opening night...

• Pittsburgh @ Utah - 8:30 Versus - This should be the ESPN game... why do I have to see South Carolina & Southern Miss again? Alas, I like Pitt in the game despite it being at Utah... Utah is a solid program that I always put stock in, but I'm very, very high on Pitt, and they shouldn't be an underdog in this game... Dion Lewis is one of the elite players in America, and he'll run wild...
• Southern Miss @ South Carolina - 7:30 ESPN - Alot of heat on Spurrier... he better hold serve at home against an undermanned opponent here...
• Marshall @ Ohio State - 7:30 Big Ten Network - Ohio State wins by 30+... but if you don't get versus, and don't like bad southern football... take a look at my national champion lol... no jinx here
• USC @ Hawaii - 11:00 ESPN - If you're an insomniac like me... you're in for USC/Hawaii... USC is intriguing because of the "dead-end" component of being postseason banned... but this a supremely talented roster yet again, and Matt Barkley is a big-time QB talent... worth watching despite how bad Hawaii is...
• Braves/Mets - 7:00 Peachtree TV - Hudson/Santana - A shame this gets buried by football... but a battle of pitching titans, and the last game of the set.. I hate the Mets...

Enjoy the slate...
