Just saying.......
I'm not sure who these alumni are that you are hanging out with but neither I or any of alumni I know want Manziel to go anywhere. Would we like to see him mature? Yes. Am I embarrassed that a 20 year old Heismann winner talked a little trash during a game? Hardly. I would like to know how you would know that his "bad temper" and "entitlement complex" run in the family and if your statement that he is a punk is anything more than your opinion.

just saying.....

A&M will be a good test. 'Bama wont be surprised this time around.



Mizzou is just out of their league. I think it was a mistake for them to join the SEC.

I am not sure that I would call 212 total yards, 50 rushing yards, 162 Passing yards, and 1-11 on 3rd downs 'dynamite'....

I would call Florida's 6 turn overs with 5 in Miami territory and 70 yards of penalties the equivalent of dropping your dynamite down your pants....

Yeah... defense has no influence on turnovers!

Gators are tough critters, so yards come with difficulty. Still a W for one and an L for another.

GO FROGS!!!

COL Howard got his Master's there, and it just happens to be my Alma Mater... sad to say, (then) MAJ Howard was finishing his Master's when I first enrolled, prior to enlisting.

November 2nd could be interesting (still too early to tell, despite my excitement about Saturday's game)!

I say... "Wide right"... or "Wide left"!

People talk about Texas football, but Florida football isn't too shabby, either.

ROLL TIDE! The TIDE ROLLED. Big Blue was lucky today, ND must have softened them up pretty good.

When I read the score, I thought they were talking basketball...
