College football 2011

We are fast approaching opening weekend (September 3) with potentially great games scheduled early in the season - below are two early marquee matchups.

• LSU v. Oregon
• Georgia v. Boise State

College football is such a great distraction.

The Broncos are not my team but they sure are fun to watch - Bulldog fans may disagree.

We moved up here in 06 and it has been a blast to watch them (it's really the only game in town). I had forgotten how much more enjoyable college football was, and is again.

We'll see how BSU does in the MWC this year, but any way you look at it, it's going to be fun!

Yeah, if you believe the press, it seems that the 'Canes may have been conducting pre-season training camp at Tootsies Cabaret and the training table may have included hookers and blow.

But this thread is about college football and not the pros.

Sorry Zonie.

Go Gators !

<sigh>

The best thing about "The U" - and the main reason I decided to attend - is where it's located. That's one of the worst things for the football team.

I almost decided to go to U of Florida, due the the "Gator Raiders" in their ROTC program, but then looked at a map.

Poor Al Golden.

At any rate, she said "Caines" - not Canes... so I thought she was talking about some dental school's team!

I feel your pain...I come from a Trojan (USC) family so I know what it's like to have "issues" with the athletic department! Another family member attended SMU and they had their trouble too. But it's looking like this Shapiro guy was about as bad as they come. But hey.... at least it the NCAA won't kill the program~ hopefully!

Dear NCAA - if you’re reading this - you don’t have the balls to give the ‘Canes the death penalty.

The irony in this whole scandal revolves around Paul Dee.

I guess I'll have to root for the team of the college from which I graduated - the Arizona State University Sun Devils! (Of course, with Dennis Erickson there, it is still a little like rooting for "The U"!
