Fucking bullshit FX of course provides no online video coverage of games. I have to go to a wedding tonight and so can't watch live streams. FUCK YOU FX!!!! Stupid ghetto ass ESPN wannabe.

GG Baylor. Gonna be a fun match up later this season.
 
yes, you called it on the first drive. Oklahoma is talking about their "relationship with the Big 12". Come here Oklahoma! Give the SEC their long awaited 100 year dynasty.

Lol, almost.

Looks like USF is taking down Notre Dame pretty handily... Always good to see. I think Notre Dame was 11 point favorites-- ridiculous. I wish I was betting this week.

Good upset pick. :p

The real question... did Ore take a step back, or did LSU take a step forward. I say LSU has stepped up. One team to watch out for.
 
yea, LSU looks pretty damn good. i guess we'll see.

not that anybody cares....but as a Vols fan, i'm still on the fence. seems like we don't have much of a running game, probably due to our horrible O Line. our freshman tailback, marlin lane, looked better than poole. i feel pretty confident in bray as a quarterback. defense seems ok, but we were playing montana. so that's still kind of up in the air. we fumbled the ball like 6 times, but recovered it each time. that scares me.

could be a long season. but at least i'm not a georgia bulldog. they looked horrible.

east carolina was sticking it to SC, but once they put garcia in, the rolled. i still think SC is really good.

texas may be better than expected, but sooner will crush them.

lolz at notre dame.

stanford has a good team.

YAY FOOTBALL!

that's all for now.
 
while you and Pander faggots are at the farmers market, i'm enjoying my glorious 40 point hangover. sorry Georgia. new coach time for y'all. LSU did better with Lee than with hit or miss Jefferson. Our defense is spectacular. we shut up Oregon quickly. Our offense is terrible and all over the place, but I guess that doesn't matter when we've got a great defense and an opportunistic offense.

I agree that LSU's offense was kinda spotty. I'm not convinced in Lee, personally. We'll see how it pans out once the SEC play begins I guess.

Georgia does need a new coach. Boise is pretty good, but their style of play wasn't really attacked. Kellan Moore only had two incomplete passes FFS-- there was not enough pressure on him or on the receivers.

I-O!!

what a great opening weekend for college footbaw!

first let me comment on USF over Notre Dame. sports talk radio has been inundated lately with Notre Dame fans eschewing, once again, their annual rant that their program is back on top! despite ND's schedule being to their advantage, it looks like we can all quell and quite those rumors for at least another year. I am very happy that USF won

next, LSU. god damn, this team looks poised to win the SEC this year. their run game is once again dominant. their defensive side and speed, their sheer athletic ability to make a sudden break on the ball, looks unmatched. if LSU can get through their SEC gauntlet with one-loss, I expect for them to be against Oklahoma in the BCS NC game

Oregon handed the Tigers that game and hey I told ya right here that Oregon was a bit over-rated

Auburn almost lost to Utah State! what a joke. that team was a flash in the pan, and only could compete on the National level via throwing money at, and covering up Cam. looks like they will be out of the Top 25 in no time

Minnesota just barely almost topped USC. it's great to see Big Ten cellar dwellers compete against the top talent of the Pac-10

looks like we can scratch off TCU for a non-AQ competing for a NC. looks like we can keep Boise State on that list. as much as I hate to say it, the Broncos looked great (as usual) on offense. what I was surprised with the most was how their defense could still compete against that BLAZING FAST SEC SPEED WOW I TYPED THAT SO QUICK TOO JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
 
anybody gonna watch the Miami (FL) VS Maryland game tonight?

I will be. Maryland is going to be debuting some new uniforms. I will have to say, this has been a recent trend in college football. while my tradition-laden team would never even think about changing their uniform (hell, when they took out a single stripe on the sleeve it created far too much damn drama) -- but, Ohio State and teams like it threw in their throwback jerseys last year. let's just say some looked better than others

I think this is what Maryland's new helmet should look like:

they took out the "'terps" text which I always thought was a bit silly. I don't know if I like these new digs yet. they didn't color coordinate very well, but that's just because while MD's state flag is kind of bad bass, the color scheme would make many cringe. I do kinga like the tortoise shell helmets, though

on further discussion of new jerseys - what did everyone think of Oregon's?

Haha, they're... interesting. I personally think the UGA ones were worse though.
 
UGA might have been only worse because I don't like it when tradition-rich teams decide to funk it up. when teams like Oregon or MD try something new, I'm more willing to let something fly

also fuck Jesse Palmer. now I really am not ever going to Applebee's ever again
 
Miami is set to have another embarrassing season again. This game pointed out just how bad of a coach Shannon was. These kids are being taught the fundamentals of football, holy shit. NFL scouts weren't kidding when they complained about how poorly coached these Miami kids are, and how much potential they had in college under Shannon. Shannon knew how to find players, but he obviously couldn't teach them shit, which quite possibly made him the worst coach in college football at the time. Golden seems like the real deal, but these players are unable to react properly to the opposing team (they looked worse than last year) because every single one of them has to unlearn Shannon football and learn Golden football (usually, when a new coach takes over, upper-classmen know the basics of football at the college level, but these Miami players do not even know how to take proper angles while tackling, or, for that matter, proper tackling technique). It will be a long, painful ass season, but at least I can rest assured that Miami is capable of going 7-6 based on pure athletecism, without being taught as well as Vandy athletes are.

Anyways, nothing to see here. I expected a fairly shitty season. New head coaches typically win big in year two, at least as far as the recent trends are concerned. The very first season with a new team is almost always mediocre. I just yearn for the days when my Canes could play middle of the road teams like Maryland and be assured of a 42-7 victory.

And yeah, Ohio State probably wins next week. I think we get our first win against Kansas State in game 3, and show very slight improvement throughout the year. We may have no bowl game next year, but at least an idea will form about Golden's ability in his second year. Even if we are penalized with scholarships, the effects of the reductions are not felt on the field until year three or so.

Oh, and fuck Paul Dee for hiring Shannon and Coker. And fuck Paul Dee for what he did to USC.
