MARLER: Favorite things before kick-off


Saturday Morning with Marler: Favorite things before kickoff

It’s Game Day! The first wave of games for Week 3 get under way at 11 a.m. CST. Here’s everything you may have missed from the pregame festivities, shows and social media.

Tennessee fans troll Kalen DeBoer

Alabama hosts Wisconsin in the 11 a.m. game on ABC. As is tradition on College GameDay, the hosts conducted a live on-field interview with the game’s head coach. This week, it was Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer.

Needless to say, Vols fans did not miss their opportunity to remind him of his team’s loss to Florida State two weeks ago.

Pac 12 trolls UCLA after embarrassing loss

UCLA piggybacked on their arch rival Southern Cal’s decision to go to the Big Ten and ultimately destroyed the Pac 12.

Sure, there were three other teams that also left and led to the downfall of the “Conference of Champions,” but having the team that plays in the actual Rose Bowl leave Pasadena’s pageantry so they could host Rutgers and Northwestern for home conference games is a choice many won’t forgive anytime soon. Especially the Pac 12.

Best College Game Day signs

The Tennessee vs. Georgia rivalry is a bitter one. These teams have a long history on the field, and a fresh one on Twitter. So it was no surprise the College GameDay signs in Knoxville delivered in full. Here’s my personal favorite from Saturday.
