BSD B1G Pick 'em Challenge, Week 2/Thursday Night Open Thread

Hilltoppers! Bulldogs! It's probably gonna be better than the game where everyone gets paid to endanger their future!

Tonight's Games

Did you have a great time watching game after game last Thursday? Do you want another night just like that? Too bad! There's only one game in college footballdom tonight:

Louisiana Tech at Western Kentucky - 8 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1: Both are looking to become the first 2-0 team in the country after the mighty Bulldogs took care of business against Southern in their opener, while the Hilltoppers marched into James Franklin's old stomping grounds and squeezed out a 14-12 victory in Nashville. If you're not into the professional variety of football, this might be a decent game. If you'd like to hang out and talk about Bill's cheatin' Patriots, you can do that too I guess.

Penn State did everyone in, which is what we get for being maniacal homers. Nobody predicted Northwestern would shut down Stanford like they did. Noel and Chris were not rewarded with their lone underdog picks of Norfolk State and Michigan, but god bless 'em. Bless our fearless leader Cari also for sticking with the B1G and picking Minnesota to pull off the upset. New guy Dan, as well as Jared and Tim, look like threats to de-throne yours truly early on.

Last week I thought I would be cute and start a tailgate recipe feature but I forgot that BSD's resident cooking sensation jessedotsmom already does that exact thing 20,000x better than I do. Check out her weekly fanpost if you haven't already and please report back if you make/have made those wings because I am tired of steaming mine before they go in the oven.

Enjoy the games and happy commenting!
