The College Football Thread
 

Well, before this year, I really had only a passing interest in college football, but now that I'm in college, and Michigan has a really good team, I've taken quite the interest. Plus, with an NFL thread going, I figured we could use an NCAA one, too. So, what does everybody have to say about this year's college football season?

I know I'm pumped for next week's Michigan-Notre Dame game. Michigan's coming off of two games where the opponent scored in single digits (45-7 vs Central MI, 50-3 vs Houston), but Notre Dame made a great comeback Saturday against Washington State. Can Michigan's defense hold back ND's big plays? Can Navarre actually make Michigan's passing game work where it really counts? We shall see. My prediction: Michigan 28,
Notre Dame 21.

Go Michigan!
 

Go ahead and beat them!...that way when they come to Purdue on the 27th we can beat em too ;)

Well, naturally I have to root for Stanford, my favorite since I was like 5, but I dont think theyll win the PAC-10. Maybe in a few years. They have great talent, and an excellent defense that will only get better with time. Trent Edwards, their QB is the real deal. The very inexperienced offensive line held its own last night against San Jose State, but thats not saying much.

I think USC or UCLA will win the PAC-10. I really dont pay any attention to the other conferences, so I cant say much there.

Oh man, I'm so happy that football season is finally here! I think UCLA is totally unpredictable this year, whether that's good or bad, but I still have much faith in them. Though we're not ranked like usual, we did have a pretty close game with no. 23 Colorado despite the fact that we have a brand new coach and our inexperienced QB got hurt in the first quarter only to be replaced by another inexperienced QB. We're young so we have a lot of fresh new talent, it may just take a few games to get into the rhythm and have it all work together. If this happens sooner than later, we'll have a good run in the PAC-10 and all us Bruins really want even more than the PAC-10 title is a victory over USC...especially to redeem ourselves over the horrible loss last year.

And here's me keeping my fingers crossed that Matt Moore, the QB that got hurt, has a quick and full recovery. I graduated from high school with him :)

Go Penn State!!!!!!!




.... the Big 10 will once again put on good shows for all to enjoy :)

I was just at the Florida State vs Maryland game.

Right... especially when Michigan beats Ohio State and goes on to the championship game, undefeated *knock on wood* :p

GATORS -VS- CANES BabY!

whoo! Go Clemson! ^_^

Yea, I'll prolly be the only one thats said this on this thread, but Clemson Tigers are my favorite team (I live 20 minutes away from the campus) and I'm looking forward to this years season. Even though they did not do to well their first game, I was able to go to the Furman game and they did excellent. I was wondering though, what does everyone think about Miami and VT moving over next year? I think its going to be interesting, plus I wouldn't mind seeing a tournament...

wooo!!!!
go USF!!!

Re: Go Michigan!
 

I agree. BOILER UP!

(I still wonder how we lost to Bowling Green though)

Go Big 10! Wisconsin and Michigan, home of 2 Cudahy, WI (my former home city) natives, starting QB John Navarre and RB Pierre Rembert.

All i can say is BOILER UP!

Cant wait for that Purdue-Notre Dame game is gonna be awesome....season ticket holders only too....

oh wait, i found some tickets on ebay...lol

Purdue vs Notre Dame Tickets

I know tickets for the Michigan-Notre Dame game are going for big bucks, too. A lousy seat in the student section is going for $75... I can't imagine how much people will be selling the good seats for.

Well, if we're all talking about the Big-10, then go Golden Gophers! :) Both my parents went there, most of my aunts and uncles, and I have to stay loyal to my home state of Minnesota.
