College Football season is almost here!

Georgia doesn't have the guns to win the SEC. Hell, they didn't win it last year, and they had more talent.

No Georgia had their chance thats why I'm hoping against hope that A&M has had enough time under Jimbo to put a good year together.

Its either that or I'll have to shoot Saban, he's got to go away. Finally got rid of that annoying Coach K at DUke now its Nick's turn to retire.

Saban isn't going anywhere. He just signed a contract extension through 2029.

Funny that you think Coach Saban is so unstoppable that killing him is the only way your team can win.
 
I am curious to see what LSU does this year. Brian Kelly was a very good coach at Notre Dame. But playing in the SEC, especially the SEC West, is a different animal.
 
Well...my Hawkeyes looked like SHIT today.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/boxscore/_/gameId/401405062

A 7-3 win...against...South Dakota?!?

And 4 of those points were on safeties.

Looks like last year, all over again.
Great defense.
Hideous offense.

The rest of my teams?

Buffalo got thumped by Maryland.
I am afraid the last few years of Buffalo being good are over...for now, at least.

SMU destroyed North Texas.
Both are fav teams of mine.
So...mixed result there.

BYU thumped South Florida.
Nice.

And Nevada thumped Texas State.
Good result.

Sooo...my teams were 4-2.
And all - except Buffalo - seem capable of making a bowl this season (which is my goal).


No matter what?
It's WONDERFUL for NCAA football to be back!
 
My Crimson Tide did what I expected and manhandled Utah State.

Utah State had only 7 first downs, 136 yards of total offense and only 1 play for more than 10 yards. The defense is a brick wall!

I don't much care who wins the national championship.

All I really care about is if my teams: Iowa, SMU, BYU, North Texas, Buffalo and Nevada make a bowl.

If all of them do - I am VERY pleased.

If most of them do - I am fairly pleased.

I’m might try to go to the OSU/Iowa game but I’m so pissed of at ticket master and their criminal “Dynamic Pricing” that I might not go. I’m not going to pay $350 for nose bleed seats so ticket master and the big 10 can bleed fans dry.

I’m just so disgusted at what is being done for tickets to live events . Good seats for any entertainment venue will only be available to the 1% who don’t have a problem dropping $1,000 to watch a football game.

I’ve been buying tickets for the Big 10 Championship game since it started and had been able to promote my seats several times due to being an annual purchaser. That’s out the window and I didn’t get my annual notification for my option to buy tickets because all tickets not bought by the Big 10 are going to be sold via Ticket Masters Dynamic Purchasing algorithm.

I’m just disgusted at the greed.

Go Hawks. I lived in Davenport for 7 years and currently live on n the Columbus Ohio region where I have lived most my life. So OSU is my #1 college team but the Hawkeyes are #2.

I doubt I go to the game due to ticket master screwing everyone and everything in sight but if I do I’m going as a cross dresser. I’ll wear an OSU jersey and a Hawkeye hat!

Ticketmaster has been scalping us for several years. And it has gotten worse and worse.
 
Well it’s nice to see that SEC bias is alive and well at ESPN.

OSU defeats a top notch #5 ranked Notre Dame team and dominated them defensively, particularly in the second half to win by 11 points.

So of course ESPN dropped them to #3 despite winning the toughest match up of the week and despite Alabama playing Sister Mary’s school for guadraplegics and Georgia playing the Oregon Duds.

It just has to make one roll their eyes. LOL

BTW, Mott, congrats on the Buckeye's win over Notre Dame.

Thanks. It was a hell of a game. Ryan Day had us all confused. It became obvious in the second quarter ND couldn’t stop our running game and Day kept throwing the ball ineffectively. By the third quarter half the State of Ohio was screaming “Run the damn ball” and finally he did and we purely dominated after that.

Well go and try and get a ticket for an Alabama game or the SEC Championship game and you will be appalled by Ticket Masters Dynamic pricing algorithm. You will select a $200 ticket for a nose bleed seat and when you go to check out to pay for the ticket don’t be surprised that the fee will be $500.
