College Football Season Is Here!

**cnahil** · 08-30-2008, 02:52 PM

I live in an area that is just lousy with Boston College fans, half my family went to Notre Dame, and I went to a football-challenged D3 school in Western NY for which anyone on this board could have started.

So, why am I a rabid LSU fan?! Got me, but I have been for years.

"Geaux Tigers!!"

PS -- I hate BC with a passion.

Michigan fans, this is going to a very long year.

I hope you have other interests for fall.

'Bama sure is laying into Clemson so far...

I bleed burnt orange. My college does not even have a football team so that one is the closest thing for me.

I assume you mean Texas, but to us SEC fans burnt orange is just Tennessee after another loss

but, Clemson has the talent to turn it around...and up to this year, 'Bama has shown the unmatchable talent of letting teams do just that...fortunately, that's only been typical in the 2nd half of the season, so we'll see

and +1 to the lopsided scored games...unless it's 'Bama doing the lop-siding

- I don't like the fact that this year is basically over before it starts. Most people are picking Utah, UTAH?!?! to beat us in the opener. I just hope we don't lose to any more sub-Div. I schools.

Go Blue.

wow, just saw the score, sorry dude...

**Chuckaluck** · 08-30-2008, 08:52 PM

THE Ohio State Buckeyes of course!

The Runnin' Utes: 25
Michigan: 23

A slim margin, but the spoils go...well, no point in rubbing it in. Michigan paid $800,000 for Utah to come to their turf...and win.

I believe the MWC is Division I.

Mizzou won but still gave me heart palpatations.

Dang Defense better come together soon.

It's a beautiful evening.

**Shane** · 08-31-2008, 04:03 PM

What does everyone think is the best game played so far? My vote goes to Mizzou and Illinois. High scoring and a tug of war throughout.

How'd the Cats look? Like I said earlier I'm a diehard Gator but I always like the UF/UK match up. Especially recent years where it's been an actual contest.

They play like they did last night and I bet that doesn't happen much this year. Just glad we don't have to play them because they sure as hell didn't look like the marginal SEC team Brent Musberger said they were.
