jabe Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Welcome, and a big Roll Tide! to all! I can't picture a Tide repeat. USC is getting lots of attention, The Honey Badger is history.... How will Urban Meyer do at Ohio State? What about Wisconsin and Boise State? Who is off the radar now, but could be a contender at season's end? I'm buckling the seatbelt in my recliner beacause I hope it is a wild and crazy ride for the next few months. Weigh in with your ideas and observations.

Virginia Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have no idea what the predictions are but as usual, I'm rooting for our instate schools: Go 'Hoos, Hokies and Dukes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 My FAVORITE SPORT without a doubt, Season is WAY too short i my opinion. My favorite teams have been lacking lately (Nebraska, Texas A&M and CSU), but that doesn't matter - it's COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON!! WOO HOO!!

Strider Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Only two more years of this BCS crap. USC is my team but I'm not buying the #1 ranking as of yet. Going on the starting unit, perhaps...but because of the scholarship probation, USC is very thin. We have no depth, so any injuries will likely kill USC's chances. THE Game of the Day is without a doubt Michigan vs. Alabama at 5pm PST/8om EST. Alabama, USC, LSU, Oregon...those seem to be the 4 main title hopefuls everyone agrees on. But every year, there is usually a black sheep that appears out of the blue. Who will it be this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 ^^^ Yes Virginia, go Hokies! I put a little wager on VaTech tonight. We'll see you Golden Domers in November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 GREAT game to end the weekend...although I'll bet Strider was on the edge of his seat! Congrats to the Tide for knocking the stuffing out of an over-ranked Whineverine squad, congrats to the Huskers for finally finding a passing offense (at least for one game), the CSU Rams for beating the Beefaloes....but the biggest congrats to Ohio for going into Penn State and beating them on their home turf! I too hope they decide to go with the 4-team play-off a year early! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabe Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Cheers to Virginia and her teams! Great game last night. Stryder, I'll be keeping an eye on CSU this year due to your head coach and his ties around these parts. From what I've read, Coach McElwain should be a good fit and it sounds like the players really like his style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetLittleBaby Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 THE Game of the Day is without a doubt Michigan vs. Alabama at 5pm PST/8om EST. I was so nervous about this game and now I realise I needn't have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Bama looked SCARY good thsi weekend....but it won't be easy getting through the SEC unscathed! Jabe - Coach McElwain has already made the Rams season by beating their in-state rival! He does sound like a good fit for the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryder1978 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Some interesting games this weekend: LSU/Washington - Washington's QB outshined Baylor's Hesiman trophy winner tin the Bowl last year, but it take smore than one guy to beat LSU. Nebraska/UCLA - Both 1-0 and both have apoint to prove that their program is back! Iowa/Iowa State - Neither team is ranked, but this game (though usually sloppy) is always a dog fight! MIssouri/Georgia - Missouri's introduction to the SEC. Can they compete or will Georgia be able to retain the SEC's reputation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Proud of my Orange right now...3rd quarter and Syracuse is still hanging with the #2 ranked USC Trojans 21-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Proud of my Orange right now...3rd quarter and Syracuse is still hanging with the #2 ranked USC Trojans 21-16. Close but no cigar, Walter. Nice freakish storm, too, interrupting the game. USC's defense is going to be a liability all season long...I cringe at what Oregon is going to do to us. Our best defense is our offense...just gotta hope we outscore everybody. Robert Woods and Marqise Lee will be playing on Sundays soon, I reckon. A pretty good day for the Pac 12...besides USC and Oregon, UCLA, Oregon St. and Ariz. St. all had key victories over ranked opponents. And here's a toast to you, Virginia! Both Virginia and VaTech had victories, the best being Virginia's over Penn St. My new second favourite team after USC is whoever plays Penn State. I hope Penn St. goes 0-12. My top 5 this week: 1. Alabama 2. LSU 3. USC 4. Oregon 5. Oklahoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan77 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I cant believe Syracuse had to play USC two years in a row. Rare meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Their AD is from USC, so they signed on for a home and home duo - except that, as usual, the big football programs don't want to play SU in The Dome, so they played at the Giants/Jets stadium in NJ!

Stryder1978 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Although ALL THREE teasm I have an affiliation with lost this weekend (Nebraska, Texas A&M and CSU), at least I got to see the University of Colorado and Penn State lose....again! Even though it was a bad weekend for me personally, I LOVE college football! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Okay, playtime is over. We've had the hors d'oeuvres, now it's time for the entrée. #2 USC @ #21 Stanford today at 4:30pm. Stanford has beaten us three straight. Time for revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 UVa (vs Ga Tech) and VT (vs WVa) both lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Turns out it wasn't such a bad thing that I had to work tonight after all...saved me the agony of watching USC lose to Stanford and blow any chance they had of playing in the National Championship. Not to mention the Angels losing again. Sorry about your VA teams, Virginia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
