The first pro game I went to was so uninspiring. There was no marching band!

I think/hope AU will improve during the season. A lot of young talent there, no doubt. By the time AU and UA play, dayhiker, they both might be looking pretty good.

Next weekend is a good one for them thar hills in N. GA. I can miss the vanderbilt game, and by the following week I will have licked my wounds enough to be ready for the Miss. St. game.

Good luck with SC, dayhiker. That should be a good game.

Personally, I can't wait for Michigan to whip OSU in Columbus this year. A classic rivalry heated up after their new coach what's-his-name ran his mouth in the off season about how they were going to do Michigan. Also, I hear Michigan will be picking up Cooper's pension in the near future.

It aint Florida's fault, dayhiker, it's them construction guys here at work. Stuff like: "Yessir, I done done that" and "We done gone to see them-an-all." I gets into a bad habit and forgots to speak english good.

NO MARCHING BAND! Nigal, you shoulda shot them boys what organized that there game. Can't have no game without no marching band. But the best part is the tailgating. Pro fans are amateurs when it comes to tailgating (or, if you're lucky, TAILGATORING!)

No dayhiker, it don't sound like no fun attall.

RE: The College Football thread
Fresno State may be for real this year, but there's just no way they could compete with Michigan. While FS has some very good starters, Michigan's depth would prove too much. I'd love to see them line up though.
Oh how the mighty have fallen: Saw in today's sports section that Penn State vists Iowa this week and is getting nine points. Ouch! Joe Pa should have hung it up a while back. Great program, great coach. It's sad when they stick around too long.

Poor Iowa anyway! They'd been off for TWO WEEKS when meeting up with Penn St. Off cuz of the attacks the first week...... and it was their week to be "off" the second week. Then it was Homecoming, complete with the Iowa salute to the victims of Sept. 11. A lot going on there, both very emotional and somewhat rusty, coming back to football!!

There were a BUNCH of MISTAKES on Iowa's part. STILL THEY WON!

I believe South Carolina will go undefeated until they play Florida. SC squeaked out a W over MSU, then the next week, Florida destroyed
MSU. My bold prediction: South Carolina finishes 9-1 and goes to a BCS bowl!
Only loss will be to the Gators.

RE: The College Football thread
LiteFoot, you a USC fan? We met some very nice SC fans in Charleston when I was in school and up there doing a project. Beautiful place, nice people. Of course that was before SC joined the SEC. We were talking about how much both schools disliked (that's as nice a word as I can come up with) Jawja. SC is lookin' good. Lou Holtz is a great coach and you SC folks may have some very good years to look forward to.

Hey Barb, when you folks can beat the point spread against a ranked team, you can brag too. I won my bet taking LSU and 10 points. Can't wait for ya'll to come down. Better bring your cryin' hanky.

Litefoot, I'm still hurting over last weeks UA/USC game. To have a game almost won, a game no one thought you could win, and then to choke at the end. Petty did a great job of leading them down the field TWICE in the last few minutes.

RE: The College Football thread
How about Michigan State? The headline in this morning's sports section said they're "taking a look at" the kicking game. I can't belive coach Williams gave that kicker the opportunity to miss two extra points (one blocked, no excuse for that, either) and three field goals. After the second miss, I'd be asking the trainer and the water boy if they thought they could kick. And this is after they had FOUR punts blocked by Central Michigan earlier this season. What's a special teams coach have to do to get fired? Anyway, it was great to listen to a very entertaining game while car camping and it's just typical Sparty. Bye-bye share of the Big Ten title.
Buddha, still waiting to hear from you on MI v. OSU. Your Rockets look solid. If they can get past WMU, they just might get a first tier bowl. No BCS though. Toledo wouldn't be able to draw the $$ they look for.

RE: The College Football thread
Arclite, I lived for a while in Charleston. In
fact, I met my bride there. My alma mater is USC, but I spent my early years in the "uga" state. So I still pull for them when they're not playing USC. Dayhiker, it seems like the last two years, UA's offense
has been giving Carolina's vaunted defense all they can handle. Petty did do a great job. He's much underrated. But we were
fortunate to get the W.

I know Max (about Toledo), I just hope they don't get screwed like last year.

I'd love to put my money where my mouth is, but at the moment, I don't have the funds to back my claims, and I don't bet unless I have the jack. So, I guess I'll just keep trash talkin' until we win.

RE: The College Football thread
Computer rankings are biased, sports writers are biased, and coaches are biased. Even the way the bowls choose their teams is biased.

Serious college football fans realize the need for a playoff system.

Washington looses to Fresno St. in the first round. YAY! Boola-boola...boola-boola...

RE: The College Football thread
We do need a playoff. Michigan is looking like it just might be one of the top two or three teams in the country this year. With a playoff, they would be able to prove it later in the year. One loss shouldn't disqualify you from contention.

BTW, which team holds the second longest Division 1A winning streak in modern history? (Oklahoma is, of course, first)
