College Football 2010

Bring it Peef? I try to support IU, but I just can't.

Meanwhile. New uniforms! Again! And the fan shirts are pretty sweet as well.

I don't know, a lot of reactions I'm reading, former BYU students included, are considering this to be one of the most foolish decisions evar. Why move from what would easily have become an AQ divison to an independent who turned their back on both the MWC and the WAC and is going to have to find schools to schedule out an entire season with (when a lot of the big name schools already have their out of conference schedules for 2011 set) for at least two more years before they inevitably sign on with another conference. There's just no way this turns out good for BYU. Imo anyways.

Interesting. Yeah, no one is saying that here. Local press is loving it, as are fans. I've actually yet to meet someone in person who thinks it's a bad idea. Granted, BYU has been dealing with the frustrations Boise State is now facing since the '80's, so it's not too surprising that most fans are sick of remaining in conferences that get crap bowl games, and very little national coverage. We'll see how it all pans out in the next few years. Could be a mess, could be great.

I'm just happy I only have to watch games on "The Mountain" for one more year. What a TERRIBLE channel and idea.

I worked for the MTN a bit, which meant, in turn, I watched a great deal of it, I always kind of enjoyed it, though it was incredibly repetitive. It's a newer channel, it needs time, and better teams honestly, to really get things going.

Nike Pro Combat Uniforms - Nike Football

Interesting. The VT uniform is supposed to honor the Corps of Cadets, which is quite obvious, since the football and cadet uniforms are practically identical. The other team may mistake the drum major for a quarterback.

As a former cadet, it's nice to see some support coming from the team. There's been some controversy about the program in the past.

YLB where are you? I need another friend to talk ACC to.

Are there any other Big Ten people other than Dalton? NSW no longer counts.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Right here, muhfucka.

Smile, everyone.

College football starts tomorrow.

I have followed, albeit quietly, the Hoosiers a good part of my life, you can probably understand my football silence.

Edit: and I realize it appears that I'm contradicting my above post, but I was mostly joking earlier.

Ahhh, yes. Welcome to the division.

You'll always have Bobby Knight's sweaters.

I still count, you stupid fuck.

I've been a Michigan football fan since I was a kid.

The quilt my grandmother made of them for me in aught-2 keeps me warm at night.

I don't believe in California. I just believe in me.

Grew up in NYC, root for the Yanks, Sixers, Steelers, UMichigan and Uncle Bob Feller.

O-H-I-O!!!!

Leaving to set up our tailgate in an hour. Can't believe football season is here!

Go Bucks!!!!!

 

[bono_212]

I spoke ill of the mighty Hoosiers, and look what they did in return.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like interceptions in overtime.

Scums, do you follow BYU or Utah? Not that I would be surprised by you being "married" to two schools, so to speak.

 

[bono_212]

Oh and this from ESPNU just made my fucking day

 

[u2popmofo]

BYU. I generally will cheer for Utah until they play BYU. If I begin to find U fans insufferable during the season, I'll start cheering against them.

I have had the, um, pleasure of living in Big Ten land since 1991. Four cities that cover five schools - and now two divisions.

I proudly watched the Gopher/Middle Tennessee State game on ESPN U tonight and was happy with the outcome.

 

[PhilsFan]

You see, I knew there were other Big Ten people, but I live comparably to single Don Draper so forgive me if my memory's a little spotty.

Speaking of which, I better start tailgating for tomorrow's PSU home opener.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hawaii got lei'd out.

Seriously, their head coach wears a lei. Looks like GAF's kind of school.

 

[trojanchick99]

Yeah, that game was ugly.

On the bright side, Matt Barkley, Marc Tyler and Ronald Johnson looked very good. Unfortuantely, that was against the worst defense we will see all year. Although, I'm still optimistic about the offense this year.

The defense however apparently went to the ucla school of tackling. God that was ugly. I understand that USC is not as deep as they normally are, but something needs to be done. And that secondary was just ugly.

 

[PhilsFan]

I really disliked Pete Carroll, that smug bastard, but they somehow managed to top that with Lane Kiffin. Fuck that guy, seriously.

 

[Imperor]

Happy holiday, folks. Looks like my 11 o'clock slate will have me flipping back and forth between the Illini, the Piffany Lions, and the Fightin' YLBs. Call it Interference reconnaissance.

 

[bono_212]

I woke up late, but in time to catch the opening round o' games. Happy season, all HYPE.

 

[No spoken words]

96 yard drive for Michigan, 7-0 lead early on.

I'll take it.

 

[PhilsFan]

Good debut for Bolden. He looked sharp. We're still gonna get killed next week.

 

[LemonMelon]

The Illini were really missing the JUICE! today. The defense looked periodically good though. I had fun with that game.

Currently watching Texas/Rice, waiting for the levee to break. Notre Dame/Purdue is probably the game to watch, but every time ND is praised (disproportionate to their on-field play), I gag.
