NCAA Football 2010 Season Thread
 

It's almost here fellas. 13 Days and counting until the kickoff of the College Football season. We should be in store for another exciting season full of plenty of intriguing story lines. Will Alabama repeat? Will Boise St. run the table? Use this thread to lay down your thoughts and expectations about the upcoming season. Go Tigers!

Got some monster non conference games in the first 2 weeks of the season

Boise State vs. Virginia Tech
Florida State vs. Oklahoma
Miami (FL) vs. Ohio State
Penn State vs. Alabama


Can't waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait

Purdue will win the Big Ten this year

Wow those 4 games are ridiculous

BOOMER SOONER!

Remember in 2007 when there were a grand total of zero Sophomore Heisman winners, and then we had three straight Sophomores win? Well assuming teams load up the box on Alabama and stop Ingram from repeating, it's a very real possibility that we'll have a fourth, and it's almost guaranteed there will be another Sophomore finalist.

Dion Lewis, RB Pitt (1988 total yards, 18 TDs last year)
Ryan Williams, RB Va Tech (1835 yards, 22 TDs)
LaMichael James, RB Oregon (1714 yards, 14 TDs although he's suspended to start the season)
Landry Jones, QB Oklahoma (3198 yards, 26 TDs, 14 INT subbing for Sam Bradford)
Andrew Luck, QB Stanford (2,575 yards, 13 TDs, 4 INT)


Andrew Luck will be the #1 pick in the 2012 draft. There's no doubt in my mind. 6'4 235 lbs with a great arm. Actually he might even be the #1 pick in next year's draft since he's a red shirt.

I have absolutely no idea how Georgia will fair this year. I'm not a huge college football fan, but I still live in Athens, so its kinda hard to ignore. AJ Green is probably the only Bulldog guaranteed to have an amazing year.

Utah deserves to lose this game for that stupid icing the kicker thing.

Terrelle Pryor looked so much better as a passer last night than he did last year.

<font color=goldenrod>UConn has a shitty first drive but an amazing punt puts Michigan on their own 4. Michigan then easily drives all the way down the field for a TD.

Definitely got one of those "well, it's already over" feelings. One of those games where it becomes apparent early that they aren't ready.</font>

bad throw by Marve. Was looking good until that crap.

Comon Purdue. Lets play some defense today.

<font color=goldenrod>Holy shit. I know there are always blowouts in the first week, but Oregon is leading New Mexico 58-0 at the half. God damn.</font>

I never really like the 1st week of college football due to almost all of the big name schools and conferences usually having a cupcake team to start the season just to pad up stats. I understand the reasoning since nobody wants to kill their season with the 1st week (ex. Michigan vs Appalachian State).

Its also always at home for the big name teams as well with a few exceptions each year (ex. Pitt away to Utah but Pitt was ranked and needed to prove its a legit Big East team).

The ending to JSU - Ole Miss, oh my :eek:

ERIN ANDREWS

This North Carolina offense was embaressing to watch at first.

But now we got a ballgame

Nvm

Unreal

Sup fellas. Laptop has been broken the last few weeks so I didn't have the opportunity to post about opening weekend.

I got to attend the Clemson and UNC game in Atlanta which made for a pretty loaded Saturday for me. UNC proved a lot to me considering that they even hung in the game with LSU while sporting a "JV" roster. I don't know much about the LSU program but Les Miles will have to do a better job of 2nd half motivating if he wants his team to compete for a division title in the SEC. The Clemson game was typical opening day excitement coupled with lackluster play. With the loss of CJ Spiller, I can only hope and pray that my Tigers can reach 8 wins this year....at best.

Other thoughts:

1. The Ole Miss loss to Jacksonville State was inexcusable....enough said.

2. UF and Oklahoma will recover just fine after sleepwalking through their openers. Opening week always leads to overreactions by most fans and media members.

3. Oregon looked amazing. While they were playing New Mexico, its hard to imagine that they were missing arguably their best player.

4. Notre Dame and Michigan still have a lot to prove. Let's see what happens in their matchup next week.

Next week should be one of the better weekends of the year. Already counting down until Saturday.

This Boise State/VT game is going to be insane.

sounds/looks like the entire Hokie Nation is at Fed Ex Field.

Sick uniforms from both teams tonight. Somewhere, Jesus Stimasworth is smiling.

Weird material on VT's helmet

Boise is not fucking around here

Jesus, Nike just decided to ejaculate all over this game.

Also LOL @ this stupid douche on VT's special teams.

Beatdown city so far

Part Boise State being for real, part VT being to jacked up for the game and making dumb mistakes.

Boise's defense is pretty awesome.

I'm not liking these VT uniforms, I get they're in tribute to the original team colors and the Corps of Cadets and that's awesome, but I'm kind of sick of everybody having these black uniforms. Kind of kills the point of team colors in my opinion if everyone gets black jerseys with different color stripes even if it is a once a year deal like Nebraska or Georgia do, or even tributes like VT's. The maroon and orange was always a cool thing in my opinion, made the games a lot more fun with colors that no one else had.

That being said I am glad they have been able to fight back from that early hole though.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Sweet game

Well looks like VT got the early season choke job out of the way very early this year, I figured it would be one of the teams from NC that usually seem to get us. :lol:

Huge week for Big Ten football coming up.

Ohio State vs. Miami (FL)
Penn State at Alabama
Michigan at Notre Dame

Thinking OSU's D gets to Jacory Harris before Miami's D gets to Pryor, and the Buckeyes win a low scoring game.
Alabama will probably smash Penn St. in Tuscaloosa. BTW Bryan-Denny Stadium is officially over 100,000 capacity now.
Dunno what to think about Michigan right now. No way Denard Robinson can run the ball 25+ times a game. Still mad at gay ass Brian Kelly so I might actually root for Michigan in this game.

OSU and Michigan should win. I dont know about Penn State. Havent paid much attention to there team this year. I think Iowa could beat Alabama, but Penn St, i dunno.

:lol:

RP, get serious.

Penn St has a true frosh at QB. As good as he might be, I would never ever ever bet on a team with a freshman QB against Nick Saban. It's not gonna end well.

Villanova football was asked to join the Big East? Really?

Armando Allen eats Wolverines for breakfast and snack time

I know it's been only one game, but the Irish's defense last week looked completely different (i.e. better) compared to last year.

did they play like Middle Tennessee State or was it a real team?

It was Purdue.
