I used to like the Iowa Hawkeyes but after last years 4-8 record I made up my mind to never get my hopes up again, kind of like being a Cubs fan I would imagine. Saturdays results vs. Northern Illinois reminded me of the following quote. " I had the lowest of expectations and I am still disappointed." Iowa really sucks but the coach is well paid at 3.65 million per year.

Texas A&M

Looking forward to another season of Texas A&M football where Johnny Football runs circles around other teams.

Johnny Football sure is one heck of a college football talent - I, for one, hope he matures a bit and sees that talent to its full potential. He is fun to watch.

Alabama is like a pro team. I read an interview of a Mizzou player recalling last year's game with Alabama. He was a linebacker, trying to beat a Bama left tackle. Tackle was about 6'6", weighed about 340. Linebacker couldn't get by him all night.

WE ARE...PENN STATE!
Starting a true frosh QB, but I trust BOB will have the team ready. Glad football is back.

USC's defense looks awesome, but QBs are horrible. And team is not physical due to sanctions-related changes in practice habits.

He won't. His temper is too bad and he believes he deserves everything. Runs in the family. Good football player but he is in it for himself. Doesn't care about A&M at all. He's a punk. I live in an area with A LOT of A&M alumni. They are all embarassed by his actions and hope he goes away.

Just saying.......
