Cal has a good coach, but not necessarily a lot of talent....

As for the game in 12 days, if SC doesn't win that one, they might as well switch to tiddly winks or something....

Oh not worried about BYU
Wounded Knee, I don't really know how WSU and UW or Oregon are doing this year. So I don't know if they are much of a challenge. Notre Dame will be a good one, as always.

After OSU's performance against LSU, they could be intersting. But I don't think we play them this season.

"Arc, how's it gonna feel when yall are 7-4 at the end of the year?"

Dayhiker

I don't know, Day. I haven't felt that in a loooooooong time. How does it feel?

How does it feel to have once been great and to now live in the past and whine about tradition? How does it feel to buy your football team? How does it feel to have the NCAA finally call you on dirty recruiting tactics? How does it feel to be forgotten? How does it feel to have the ugliest uniforms in college football?



Where’s the cry about Oklahoma running up the score on lowly Houston? 63-13 and no one is whining about the Okeys running up the score like they do most every week they play against weak opponents? Oh, that’s right, Spurrier isn’t coaching Oklahoma. And since the media isn’t yelling about it, the mindless morons in fanville don’t think it’s an issue…

NOW THAT’S OBNOXIOUS!!!


If the media aren't telling some folks how to think...

They don't!

Actually, you lost Gameday because ESPN doesn't want gameday to be in the SEC for the first 3 weeks of the season. I'm still surprised that South Bend didn't host last weekend and Knoxville (UF vs UT) this weekend.

Hey, nobody said a thing about the Jayhawks running up the score last Saturday. Let's hear it, ya whiners!
Dunadan

Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!!

My impressions so far:

LSU doesn't look particularly impressive. They miss their quarterback.

Jawja doesn't look particularly impressive. They need more experience on their front.

USC looks like they'll get better as the season progresses. I think they'll be a very good team by the end of the year.

Rutgers just might make a bowl game this year. Next year fer shur.

Oklahoma looks powerful but, as always, they only have to get up for a couple of games a year.

Arkansas gave Texas more than they wanted. Arkansas will take out some teams this year. Please don't hurt my GATORS.

Florida is loaded with talent, but young. We'll find out this week as one of College Football's greatest "new" rivalries takes place. Tennessee has a smart coach, a large stadium, and passionate fans. Can their freshmen quarterbacks handle the pressure that is sure to come their way? This should be a good one... as always. Good luck, Chili. I always respect Tennessee.




Stovestomper, hope you are safe this week. Somebody on the news here called this "The Summer from Hell." OK, I'm ready for hurricane season to be over. And that includes those degenerates from Miami.




Then there's Bama and Michigan. They just suck!

Week 3
Alright, time to get down to business.......

How bout the Jayhawks, Rock Chalk buddy?
We'll see who's #2 in the east and who's #1 in the west this week (of course Im talking about the SEC)

Connecticut getting 7.5 at Boston College? Connecticut is gonna win.

After watching ole miss totally suck last week. Vandy is not Bama, but no way I could lay 7 here.

Gotta go w/ the Jayhawks getting 3 pts, ride the wave Dunny.

Welcome to the SEC Jamarcus Russell. Auburn will win.

My school, the UAB blazers play the Seminoles this weekend, but alas they are too talented. But it's gonna be close (I pray) give me 24.5

I think washington stinks, give me the UCLA bruins

I don't know much about Florida, but think Tennessee will win, but you cant ever tell in this game.

Now, if I just picked your team to win, count on them Losing.

Now, I must go pray for everybody in the line of this hurricane and for my cable to be on sat morning

There is NO WAY my team is losing this week! Well, OK, they have a bye....

Next up will be USC. We'll either get stomped or will engineer a huge upset - that's just what we do....

I thought you guys had a monopoly on that.

What is the scoop on OSU (oregon)? Lobos play them this week.

This is pretty cool too!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Kole McKamey, Josh Bazinet and Wes Zunker, all of the University of New Mexico, were named Mountain West Conference Players of the Week the league office announced this morning. McKamey claims Offensive Player of the Week, Bazinet takes Defensive honors, while Zunker receives special teams recognition. Zunker earns the award for the second time in his career, while McKamey and Bazinet capture the honor for the first time. The Lobos defeated Texas Tech for the first time in 20 years, 27-24, on Saturday at University Stadium.

I've seen a number of teams use a two quarterback system, Chili. Steve Spurrier was way ahead of his time, waaaay ahead. Does anybody give him credit? Hey Nigal, have you seen any snowballs in hell?

I'm riding the wave and waving the wheat, Arc. I'm not sure how the Jayhawks will do in Evanston, but there might be revenge in their hearts for the loss to Northwestern last year.
Man, you SEC dudes have me all hyped up over this UT-UF matchup. I'm thinking the hometown could make the difference, no?
Hey, Cocoa, I hope your team keeps up its winning ways. Do you think they are smarter than last year when they received so much pre-season hype?
BTW, Connecticut will NOT win against BC.
Rock, Chalk, see you guys later.
Dunadan

UF-UT??? IT'S HUGE! Because of the strength of each team, when they started to play every year, it became an instant classic....

...almost as big as Notre Dame's annual butt-kicking of Michigan!

Hail, to the vagrants vanquished
Hail, to the conquered hobos
Hail...hail... to Michigan, the loosers of games.

Howl, cause they lost another
Howl, Touchdown Jesus beat ya
Howl...howl... at Michigan, the I-rish door mats.



Dunadan, you should have seen me, a couple of years back, in a little bar in Port Angeles Washington screaming at the TV. We actually hiked out of Olympic National Park just for the game. There I was, in the corner of the bar, yelling for the GATORS, while the regulars kept looking over their shoulders at that strange and loud idiot in the corner. We hiked back into Olympic in the dark. Strider was very nice to accommodate my passionate desire to watch one of the greatest games every season.



StoveStomper, talk to us, please.

All's good here. The power went off for about 5 minutes. Over half the state lost power though. Cocoa is ok too and will be in the office this morning. He's without power, but other than that fine. He does have a cool story of seeing his own power line snap though.

Man I wish I could go to that game. Not possible on my end, but I can wish. I think it'll be a really good game. Most Bama fans had that chalked up as a W until yalls performance against the REAL UT.

Tomorrow, we will see what UT is really made of.

Are the contenders? Or pretenders?

I still have huge questions in regard to the QB situation, and look forward to the game tomorrow.

I'm not going to even bother trying to quit smoking. Watching Ohio State is going to give me a heart attack long before I die due to something smoking gives me.

UT Wins, what a game
nothing like going from a goat to a hero in a few minutes.
You know that kid felt really bad after he missed the extra point and then to a extreme high when he made the 50 yrd FG.

Which freshman QB is going to be the one Fulmer decides on to start. Both are good but I think Ainge gets the nod.

A few minutes later, you are in position to get one or more hummers from one or more chicks of your choice on campus.....
