Pretty good opening weekend. I was at the beach for most of the day but saw enough to be amazed...

Thursday: I watched my school (1-AA) lose 28-0 to D-3 Ursinus, but got a free barbeque and t-shirt out of the deal so I was content. LSU showed some amazing stuff on both sides of the ball...

The "real" start: First off, Michigan. Arkansas lost a home game to The Citadel to open a season a couple years ago and their coach was immediately fired. In all honesty, though, there's no chance they lose to Oregon or let this game completely end their season... but, still, with the talent they have, this SHOULD be a BCS game season, and that dream is pretty much over. Wisconsin FTW in the conference.

Tenn vs. Cal - Tedford's team was amazing, simple. DeSean Jackson, obviously, but the rest of their skill position players also were about five levels faster than anything Tennessee could put up on defense.

Other than that, a load of mismatches and blowouts. Bad beat for the ACC trying to show last year was a fluke (NCST, Duke, Virginia with bad L's).

Go Berkelyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Larry Bird]

watch out for oklahoma...put up like 79 points...crazy.

texas looked sketched...they should of blown em out.

speaking of LSU, next week should be a good game against virginia tech.

[lil brown brother]

Penn State shld beat down on those Irish

[Head Ninja In Charge]

Still blown away by that Michigan game. The way it happened. Plus the fact that it was in Ann Arbor. Pretty standard opening weekend otherwise.

Obligatory support for my school post:

Go Bears!!!

[munkyballz]

Haha...Michigan. lmao.

[Larry Bird]

michigan went from #5 to outta the top 25....believe their 27 now.

watch out for louisville.

[brightbill]

Probably the biggest single-week drop in the polls ever... pretty fitting.

[Head Ninja In Charge]

Sam McGuffie should go to Texas A&M. Fuck Michigan.

[knucks]

people on campus are really pissed bout the game. everyone thought it'd be an easy win. i personally do not give a fuck either way, i don't follow football

[Head Ninja In Charge]

I laugh at Lloyd Carr.

[angrypork]

Hahah I'm loving the shittiness of Michigan.

[Larry Bird]

Penn State shld beat down on those Irish

this man predicted correct...

best game was the texas a&m one in 3 ovetimes.

edit: LSU crushed VT bad.

[lovinthee47s]

michigan loses again

i would not be surprised if the coach got the axe at the end on the season

they had high hopes going into this season..

[phen3N]

UCLA anyone?

[PusherTam]

UCLA anyone?

i dunno but im going to the cal v ucla game! gonna be a good match. rooting for cal.

[brentos]

Lots of upsets already. Looks to be a good year.

'Tech is going to take the ACC this year, I hope. They fell apart last year.

Go Jackets!

My friend went to that game. He said he counted 6 people who passed out because of the heat and about twice as much who threw up. And that was just in his section and the next section over. Announcers said the heat index on the field at halftime was 140(!) degrees.

This will be a good season.

a&m students are required by tradition to stand the entire game, right? dopes.

if michigan gives carr the sack during the season that would be amazing since they are a very upstanding program by i-a powerhouse standards. though the dude who kicked another player with his cleats is pretty bad, just like that hit doss put in during the bowl game that got john cooper fired.

[brightbill]

Noel Devine last night was unreal. Next "special" player in the sport, has Reggie Bush type of talent if he can possibly pack on some muscle on his 5'8/175 frame...

[Larry Bird]

^^^^

true...it sucks he didnt get the tuchdowns though....so close, he deserved them.

but yea, most texas a&m kids stand up the whole game....they got heart.

[ericdw]

In all honesty, though, there's no chance they lose to Oregon.

ha! but everyone and their mother was saying that last week.

lots of talk about Michigan but didn't see anything about ND? i love that both those teams are 0-2, esp those overrated fucks at South Bend

brightbill - you can quote me when my team gets torn up later this season: Rutgers will beat WV this year

Not required. But if you don't, you might as well come to the game with a tampon hanging out of your ass. The only kids that don't stand have another school's colors on.

As for Devine, dude is a beast. Aside from Reggie, I haven't seen anyone make cuts on the fly like he does. I don't really have a problem with him paying dues and putting in work to have Slaton get his TD's. Would have liked to have seen them give him atleast one though. Goes a long way in building up a freshman player.

Again, him and McKnight from USC are going to be the faces of the Division I RB's for the next couple of years.

Yea - and I'm from Oregon... just didn't think they were much better than what the Ducks showed to close last season... hmm. This week I'm thinking a 10-point win or so against Fresno.

Funny thing is, though, I'm going to a Philly school whose student body is like half Jersey kids, so Rutgers big season last year was never out of earshot. I was at a party that had last year's incarnation of that matchup on, and everybody cleared out of the basement and stopped flirting with drunk girls to watch the closing minutes of that game. Just to be an asshole, I cheered for WVU (and because their offense is pretty flipping sweet) and got kicked out at the conclusion of the game.

Good times.

[chantheman]

devine has benn an internet sensation since his frosh year of high school.

too bad he didnt commit to fsu...

[Head Ninja In Charge]

the fighting irish are def. going to the sugar bowl...no doubt.

And Jimmy Clausen will average 300 yard passing per game.
