One of my officemates graduated from iowa state.  She loves to make fun of their mascot, so I hear a lot about it.

I love American football. I can't stand Canadian football. I miss going to the games. I think college ball is way better than CFL (sorry fellow canucks). I've spent my entire weekend watching what was on. I say the ND vs. Pitt game among others. very good. I've always been a ND fan, being part Irish and all. Never liked Dave Wannstedt either.

Next week NFL gets started. I've already ordered NFL Sunday Ticket.

i fell asleep watching the Clemson/A&M game...

from the headlines this morning, it looked like i missed a good second half - since i'm from SC and went to A&M, i wish i hadn't been so tired... 30 hrs/wk of work + 16 semester hrs wears me out, though.

Grrrrrrr.........

It was rape. It was not a good game.

Pitt will still have a good season.  Wannestedt is going to be a great coach- it just hasn't come together just yet.

One thing I found telling- after that one play where #51 on Pitt (forget his name) got called for a personal foul for kicking Brady Quinn while he was down (gave ND a 1st down on what should've been a 4th)-  when this #51 got to the sidelines, Wannestedt just kind of shrugged at him and shook his head.  Strikes me that a college football coach should be a little more, not aggressive, but hyped about such things...

Interesting. On of the things I always hated about Wannestedt was the fact that he was always shouting and yelling on the sidelines so bad when coaching the NFL, that he was actually spitting at the players. I always thought him a classless act.

Um, UH Warriors?  The team that got smashed by USC?  Yeah, um.  UH Football is as necessary as a fish needs a bicycle. 

war eagle!

its gonna be an interesting (read: tough) year for us auburn fans after being spoiled the past couple seasons...

i just hope al borges can get brandon cox's act together... the boy has had literally YEARS to get ready for this and he just sucked right out of the gate...

ah, for the good ole' days that were last year....

WAR EAGLE!

Cal is in a pretty bad qb situation (not to mention a mediocre line and ineffective D), and imo I don't think any of the top 25 teams are decent at all, save SC.  That said, I hope we (Cal) can pull a QB out of our ass, since our starter is now out for the season and we're stuck with a freshman.  Regardless, I think 3 or 4 teams above us all lost, so we'll at least be moving up in the totem pole a bit before people realize how bad we really are.

Sharkey, hit me up, we Cal-ers must unite!

Northwestern is like that in the Big 10, except they arnt the smartest either. And their campus sucks. Yeah they just suck

It is not even half time yet, and FSU is up 10-7. 
However, I think it is fairly obvious that FSU will probably lose this game.

No, no, my freshmen year we didn't have a football team (1-10). Now we have something better than football, we have Tedford. Yeah, we really need to fix the QB situation NOW, but our defense isn't embarrassing, and we've got a great running game (so far). I think our O-line is one of the best, which made the sucking of the QB's that much worse.

I'm busy before the Illinois game, and w/ the new stupid system, everyone will be late anyway. But after that my friends and I usually go to Bear's Lair. Maybe we'll switch it up and go to Ralleigh's, if my friend isn't still 86'd (long story).

Anyone want to place a wager?  I bet UH Warriors get the snot beaten out of them this weekend.  And you know what?  I'll be laughing, because UH really shouldn't even be Division I football. 

Someone told me, "how come you have no pride in your school?  I do!"  I was tempted to respond: "well, first and foremost, you never attended the college, because you got your girlfriend pregnant and now all you do is eat and drink cheap ass beer at games.  Secondly, I have more pride for other factions of my university then football, because football benefits the fat and lazy who watch it while genetic research benefits everyone."

But seriously, who wants to place a wager that UH will lose to Michigan.  Heck, Michigan should just bring the junior varsity here.  Playing football in Hawaii is a joke, its more of a vacation for the players and coaches.

I thought my newly ascendant ND Irish were scheduled in Michigan this week.

I'm a 'Weis-guy'. (Also, a native New Englander who's Patriots benefitted from his offensive stuff these last few Super Bowls.)

Impressed by how they handled Pitt. Can they do it to the Wolverines, too? On back-to-back road games?

Go Irish!

We shall find out.  I think it will be a close game with the final score within one touchdown.
