College Football!

[Jason22]

Now that college football is officially underway, who is everyone team, and realistically how do you think they will do?

My team is the Michigan Wolverines, and I realistically think they will be the National Champs. This is not a bias pick for me, as I think the next 2 years we will not be competing for the NC, and be lucky to be Big 10 Champs.

Go Blue!!!

[luniz]

My fav team is Notre Dame. I don't think they have a chance because of their offense. Their defense should be tough though. I really think that Ohio St has a good chance of a repeat. They actually play Michigan at Michigan, so that should be a great game.

[2Dambad]

How about a whole conference? Big 12 Baby!!! 3 teams in the top 5. The survivor will be the national champion.

[AMRAAM4]

U of Miami
Auburn...who is finally looking sweet (Thomas & Dansby on ESPN2 cover this week).

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

Go Hurricanes!!!!!Only hope the unproven QB will not hurt us even though he is being touted as going to be a great QB.And didn't they really win the national championship last season without the erronious ref call of interference!!!!!The real national champs are the Canes!!

Well there were TWO National Championship trophies handed out last year, but the BCS messed that up again and gave the Buckeye's YOUR National Title. The other National Title is that yellow flag from the ref in the corner of the endzone, and that one belongs to Ohio State.

ROLL TIDE!!

i just got back from the Alabama game and i must say...Shula is awesome.

after three different coaches in the last year..i think Alabama has finally found one that may stick around for a while lol

anyways ill be at the oklahoma game next weekend and Bama will have to play a lot better than they did today if they wanna win next weekend.

Alabama-40
S. Florida-17

lol

[DumpsterDamon]

go blue

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

Bama is headed in the right direction with Shula,but the talent level is not very good right now which will show up next week against a powerhouse like Oklahoma.
The score in my Canes game was lopsided but misleading really.Their offense stunk!!It looks to me that my boys will lose a few games this year for the first time in quite a while.

Hook 'em Horns!

[DumpsterDamon]

the lions actually went out and spent money this year. if harrington could ever learn to move out of the pocket they might have a chance.

as far as the tigers go, they're a bunch of rookies, give it some time. (i hope)

pistons. firing carlisle was a bad bad mistake, he took the team from 32-50 to 50-32, nuff said.

red wings, have been my team my whole life and it's all because of their talent scouts.

it's tough being a diehard fan in detroit, up until 2 years ago we only had 1 winning team, hopefully before i die the lions and tigers will win something important.

hey focktard, no team in the NHL has a cap, **** the rangers spent nearly twice as much as the wings did last year and they still sucked. we just know how to pick them.

[kcitsGT]

I'm a UGA fan, but realisticly I think their best chance to win it all will be next year....that is if all the talent doesn't skip out on their senior year again. My prediction for Sugar Bowl winner right now is USC. That was an impressive dismantling of Auburn Saturday. I mean holding that quartet of backs to 43 yards on 36 carries, D@MN!

I'd be satisfied with another SEC title and a BCS Bowl win this year. Anyway....GO DAWGS! SIC 'EM!

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

USC is real good but was Auburn overrated?They were touted as a national champion contender and did not even put up a fight against USC. If they were that good they should have at least scored 3 pts.

[kcitsGT]

Auburn may have been overrated, but they were'nt that overrated. To do that to a top ten team is pretty impressive.

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

I know USC is very good,I am not saying they are not in the least but to me Auburn was very overrated!

[Silver02EX]

Oregon State.... Go Beavers :D

[Jason22]

I think that Auburn is/was overrated. Their QB is a joke, they do have some of the best backs in football, excellent linebackers, but that is it. USC dominated them defensively, that was very impressive. The Trojan offense was nothing special, 17 of their points came off of turnovers, so 6 points were actual drives.

Ohio State's defense was phenomenal also, but coming into the Horseshoe at nighttime is a death wish. OSU is in trouble in a couple of weeks when NC State comes visiting, without Clarett the Buckeye's have no rushing threat, 3.3 Yards Per Carry, very unimpressive. Gamble = overrated

Oklahoma needs to find a replacement for Quentin Griffin, North Texas shut down their running game.

Georgia played an awesome game, must say I am surprised they came out with a shutout after losing a lot of talent to the draft.

My Wolverines offensively looked great, defensively Central was able to run the ball. We did very little line stunts, minimal blitzing, it appreared as the gameplan was to show Notre Dame nothing and just play straight up, but that appears to be a weakness for now.

Great first week, teams knocking off the rust and getting things going, cant wait for week #2!!

[Chaotic Reality]

Florida State is my favorite team. I cheer for Colorado University, and University of Wyoming too. :) They all won yesterday too. :D

I know exactly how you feel!! I thought the Indians would get a World Series ring before I died but, I'm not taking any bets now. The Browns and the Super Bowl....I think they'll be watching it on TV for a while. The Cavs may have a glimmer of hope, but that's a wait and see....


Thank God for the Bucks!!!!:thumbs:

sure it was against a spare NMSU team, but 2 special teams TD's, 2 defensive TD's, and 5 offensive TD's (2 rushing by the backup QB). After a shaky first quarter, the 31 point second quarter sure calmed my nerves!

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

Texas always seems to choke in the big games but this year could be different.

I think sometime this year, we will see a true 2 QB system in place.....

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

I like that WR Texas has,I think his name is Wiliams ,I could be wrong, he is a monster.

[peeps]

Originally posted by BLACK99GT/ROB

However, the guy who will likley have a better season because of all the double coverage on Roy is BJ Johnson. BJ is just as good, just not as big and physical. He too will be a high draft selection. They have both had very successful careers so far at Texas.

If our running game picks up, it will be a very exciting year!

BTW, can't wait to roast some hogs in the 13th!

...waiting for Tusk to chime in and talk smack.....

[TheLamonizer]

i dont think Auburn was overrated at all!

dont get me wrong i HATE Auburn...they're probably the only college school that i HATE (besides Florida lol)

but i think Auburn was just unprepared for the game...trust me next week they'll come out fighting and probably win (not sure who they're playing).

I am a big Georgia fan.. ive lived here all of my life but they're definatly not going all the way this year.

Alabama vs. Oklahoma next week outta be a good game to..at least i hope it turns out okay lol

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

I feel sorry for Bama next week. LOL:D

[BLACK99GT/ROB]

I wouldn't mind seein an upset next Saturday!!Since my boys are ranked a few spots below even though they don't look no where near what the Canes of old have been.I know it's early but to me there will be no tiltle for the Canes this season.
I know what alot are thinking ,I am from WV and why do I like the Canes?I saw them as a kid while watching with my father and have been a fan ever since.I also root for WVU second,but with much frustration!I go back as far as Schnellenberger(sp?)/ Johnson as the Canes coach and yes I am an old fart!LOL

[TheLamonizer]

i dont really mind oklahoma

i just think they're way overrated and too many people are jumping on their bandwagon (damn bandwagon fans lol)

Their defense is spectacular, to me their biggest problem is to find a running game. But I don't see anyone on their schedule knocking them off, so I think they will be taking a visit to Nawlins.

Sorry Peeps.

I just cannot see Texas winning with bringing in a brand new QB, even though you guys have two great ones, in college football it is mainly about experience there. That is why I see Miami losing a few this year also. No doubt you guys have the talent there, because Mack is a great recruiter, but I think he chokes come big game time, i.e. Red River Shootout. Maybe this year he proves me wrong, and I'll get to see your Horns vs my Wolverines... that would be a very interesting matchup!
Go Blue!

Go Blue! I'll agree to a point. There have been many great quaterbacks that have come in with no experience and led their teams to great things. There are others that have lead their teams to terrible things. It all comes down to field presence, which is somewhat related to experience, but not always. By the time the big games come around, Chance Mock will have had 4 games under his belt in addition to the spring and summer drills to get his team believing in him and gaining the field presence needed to do great things.

I know the gripes everyone has with Mack Brown and I agree. It is very rare that I don't question SEVERAL things that happen in each game.

As for the Red River Shootout, we'll just have to see what happens on Oct. 11th. Besides, living in football past is no fun (especially the past 3 years). :cheers: :thumbs:

[Jason22]

Well man, best of luck on Oct. 11th!

With Mack, what is your biggest beef about his game plans? I only see a game or two a year of Texas, so I personally am not familiar with the teams schemes and weaknesses. I did watch the No. Texas game though. Are you at all concerned about the running game? I know Benson didn't have a good game, just kinda curious to hear your analysis on the run offense.

[Dalesa7xchamp]

for all college sports im a Syracuse fan... ya the football team sucks... but ya gotta stay with your team.

[sharukhl]

Since I am now a UCLA Bruin..I must say that:

A Trojan is only good once, but a Bruin lasts a Lifetime :)



All jokes aside, they are good...but i think their win over
Auburn is making them much more overrated than they should be. They've moved up to number 5 in the rankings. Without carson palmer, I don't know if they'll have the on-field leadership they had last year.

Can't spell Suck without USC
;)

Mainly my beef is with play calling in certain situations and the short underneath passes that NEVER worked but were ran every 3rd play. Also, why have Roy Williams on special teams? All that does is risk injury for a star even more.......

[cavingchick]

I hope everyone relizes that MICHIGAN STATE U is gonna step there way up and own everyone. They have won both there games so far. WOOOO GOO SPARTANS!



And as for West Virginia University...its my home town so I gotta give em love.
Hell, they gave wisconsin a run for its money!

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!:cheers:

[GoBlue30]

Michigan State will be lucky to win 3 big ten games this year. Sure they've won their first two games but against Western and Rutgers and they couldn't even cover the spread against either. Western should've won the game and Rutgers was up 21-20 I believe early in the 2nd or 3rd quarter. MSU is horrible, at least they still have a powerhouse b-ball team as for my Wolverines... well we all know :rage: they are still on probation.

I pretty much feel the same way about OSU after yesterday's lack luster performance. I know they had a few close ones last year, but going undefeated 2 years in a row??? I think the odds are against it. Guess I'll just wait and see.

[TheLamonizer]

well...final results

Oklahoma-20
Alabama-13

both teams played a hell of a game and the only thing that killed us was that Stoops was a better coach, but our rookie coach (2nd game ever as head coach) kept up w/ one of the best possibly even THE best college football coach. so all i have to say is HAHAHA anyone see that Georgia Tech-Auburn game? ROFL!

[GoBlue30]

I'm scared of Alabama, when they get off of probation they are gonna be back to being a top 10 team... Shula's got his dad, one of the best coaches ever in any sport in his corner to help him out. The Tide looked really good last night, I thought they were gonna come back but that fake punt, then the deep touchdown pass took the wind out of them just enough. Alabama should be a top 10 team every year, it just seems weird not seeing them compete and in the SEC championship game every year. I never bought into all the preseason Auburn hype, they were a decent team last year so why did everyone think they were gonna be GREAT this year. :confused:

[TheLamonizer]

yeah the fake field goal really killed us...but coach stoops saw that we werent guarding their wings so he used it against us but as ESPN said...if his job wasnt covered until 2010..he wouldn't have gone for that lol

and if Auburn keeps going downhill the way they are, coach Tuperville (sp.?) will be fired lol

Sorry...got a new parttime job, so I don't have as much time to post anymore. I find it funny how all the talk in Dallas is about Nutt and the infamous hook 'em hell salute after the Cotton Bowl. On paper the whorns should win, but this game has never been played like it should. Too bad the actual players of the game don't know anything about the real rivalry there is between the whorns and Hogs.
Win or lose, I will be back though. I will take my punishment if we lose. :D

[Jason22]

So how many fellow Wolverines will be at the Michigan Notre Dame game?

And if you are going, remember it is a "maize out" so wear something maize!!!

Hey KCitsGT, Division 2 football is cool too... your Valdosta team is quite good... I remember watching them play GVSU last year, and being from Michigan I of course was rooting for them. What did you think of Kircus in that game?

Well if GVSU cannot win it this year, I will pull for Valdosta, best of luck this year!

[kcitsGT]

Kircus was awesome, heard he went in the draft. That's pretty rare for a D2 player.

[TheLamonizer]

oh wow theres another person from georgia on here...lol

but also i gotta say go Georgia Southern!
lol ill be going there next year so might as well go ahead and get into the school spirit :p
