    We've finally made it to the best week of the year (so far).

    So ready for my boys to hit somebody from another team.

    Good luck to all the Skybox teams!
    (Unless you are playing the Aggies in which case I hope we put a beat-down on you!)

    We've got 1 Tennessee fan who works in my district. About 85% of the employees are Alabama fans with the rest being Auburn fans. Just the one poor Vol.

    We've gotta contest going to win Alabama tickets this season among the salesman and this dude wants to know if he can just sell them if he wins. I really admire his dedication.

    Can Will Muschamp get a his first SEC win in the So.Car vs Vandy game tonight.

    Will Tenn stomp ASU or will ASU give'm a game?

    Oregon St. Vs Minn

    Can Bob Davie get New Mexico off to a good start vs South Dakota.

    I think I'll watch the Tenn game, none of the others intrigue me.

    Uh Oh...I hope Aggie QB Trevor Knight has his head in the right place when he steps on the field vs UCLA. His girlfriend recently dumped him... :? :?

    I'm a UCLA fan, but I really hope the Aggies can shut up the Bruins QB Josh Rosen. He's got a mouth that never stops running...

    Vandy looked great at 10-0 and then it happened. The coach changed QBs for no reason, then team immefiately lost momentum followed by field position. When he finally putting the starter back in he had lost his mojo as well and Vandy went on to lose the game.

    I hate the QB platoon system and immediately thought ahead to Sunday night.

    Finally Game Day here in Columbus! We have a very young team and many unproven players. New players make mistakes. J, T. Barrett poses no problems, but his young and inexperienced receivers may prove to be a problem. Two freshmen will start , one on the offensive line and a new tailback.

    I will be very interested in how our young defensive players react in the opening game with BGSU. They will be tested by the spread offense of the Falcons.

    Beautiful fall type day here for the opening game.

    I'm with you Don, college football is back finally. Alabama also has questions in our offensive backfield. No experience at all. USC is a good team. This is not a gimme for Alabama. Defense should be very good. We'll see. I think Alabama will win. 14-3? 21-10? Something like that.

    Stanford game was pretty good, for the most part KState held McCaffrey in check all night but they couldn't get anything consistent going on offense. New Stanford qb looked pretty good against a typical salty Bill Snyder defense, he's going to get better the more he plays. Trees have a tough opening 6 games.

    Buckeyes cruise past Bowling Green 77-10. The Falcons simply did not have the star power to compete in this game. Ohio State set a new record for a total offense today with of 764 yards. JT Barrett had seven touches for TDs and freshman redshirt Weber rushed for 129 yards. Backup McCall scored two rushing Tds. Four new receivers scored today.

    Anyone who does not think Tom Herman is a great coach, send me a bottle of wine. the Big !2 will never let Houston in the conference. The Sooners have no rushing game.

    Les at Lambeau has his team looking like the Detroit Lions.

    Yeah we played Florida A&M so major talent difference but I'll take today's win, 3 tailbacks ran for 100+ yards each, QB looked sharp, WR's looked okay but our "D" was relentless and attacking. No more read and react, attack, attack, attack....

    LSU and USC have some bona fide cheap shot thugs on the field.
