It officially starts today. It's only 12:50 so no final scores yet. But Iowa is looking real good and Bowling Green is beating Wisconsin right now.

Penn State at 3:30...

RP · 09-03-2005, 02:32 PM

This Rb on Rutgers just leaped over a linebacker in open feild and ran the ball for a 70yrd td. It was sick. He was white too.

RP · 09-03-2005, 02:35 PM

TCU is beating the Sooners 10-7 with 8 minutes to go in the 3rd.

**Rain Man** · 09-03-2005, 02:54 PM

Even though Bowling Green is loosing their QB Jenkins is defiantly a Heisman Canidate.

**Gonzo** · 09-03-2005, 03:04 PM

Notre Dame plays at 8 but I'll be at the Motley Crue concert. Give and take a little I guess.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 09-03-2005, 03:21 PM

Boston College at 3:30. Hopefully gonna get to see my boy do some work today on some mormon motherfuckers

**Joey Slugs** · 09-03-2005, 03:44 PM

TCU is still up on OU late in the 4th.

**The Miz** · 09-03-2005, 04:11 PM

Go Huskies

**The Miz** · 09-03-2005, 04:22 PM

Everyone should post predictions of their team

@ Air Force - W
Cal - L, hopefully we can stay within 50 points
Idaho - W
Notre Dame - L
@ UCLA - L
@ Oregon - L
USC - L
@ Az State - L
Oregon State - W
@ Arizona - L
Wash State - WIN BABY

4-7, on the positive side we will have quadrupled our wins from last year.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 09-03-2005, 06:35 PM

Oklahoma's offense looked horrible. Their QB played awful, they are gonna be in real trouble if teams throw 8 men in the box. They lost a lot from last season though, starting QB, atleast 2 lineman probably more, and 3 wideouts.

**Joey Slugs** · 09-03-2005, 09:24 PM

ND over Pitt 35-13 @ the half.

Fuck Tyler Palko, Charlie Weis is a GOD!

Rally sons of Notre Dame
Sing her glory and sound her fame
Raise her Gold and Blue
And cheer with voices true:
Rah, rah, for Notre Dame
We will fight in every game,
Strong of heart and true to her name
We will ne'er forget her
And will cheer her ever
Loyal to Notre Dame.

Cheer, cheer for Old Notre Dame,
Wake up the echoes cheering her name,
Send a volley cheer on high,
Shake down the thunder from the sky!
What though the odds may be great or small,
Old Notre Dame will win over all,
While her loyal sons are marching
Onward to victory!

No, it's a lot out there. You are a homer.

I'm going against the grain for sure, but it's not a "homer" issue. Charlie Weis is an offensive guru and the two hardest defenses he will face this year are Michigan and Purdue. ND has the offensive power, they just haven't had the right coach to harness it.

They also play USC and Tennessee AT HOME. Which, you might now, gives them a huge advantange... many good teams have left that field with a bit more than just their tail between their legs after a game.

And as for ND beating USC, it's a hard pipe dream... but USC is not unbeatable. No one knows yet how they will fair without Norm Chow against a tough 4-3 defense.

If OU (and they looked like shit doing it) lost to TCU, anyone can lose. It's the beauty of college football.

**Joey Slugs** · 09-03-2005, 10:40 PM

I know Pitt is no major top 10 team (but they ARE ranked), but come on... when was the last time ND put up over 500 yards and 40 + points on anyone?

**RoXer** · 09-03-2005, 11:37 PM

Arizona St.

Temple W
at (6) LSU L
Northwestern W
at Oregon State L
(1) USC W

Oregon W
at Stanford W
Washington W
at Washington State W
at UCLA W
Arizona W

9-2

**Joey Slugs** · 09-03-2005, 11:53 PM

what team is that Roxer?

**RoXer** · 09-04-2005, 12:18 AM

**Joey Slugs** · 09-04-2005, 12:54 AM

and I get called a homer.

Zona St is not allowed to beat USC before ND does.

**BCWWF** · 09-04-2005, 02:09 AM

Missouri

Arkansas State W
New Mexico W
Troy W
Texas L
OSU L
Iowa State W
Nebraska W
Kansas W
Colorado L
Baylor W
Kansas State L

We kicked the shit out of Arkansas State, which really shouldn't say much but then again CU barely beat CSU and Iowa State barely beat Illinois State, so thats a good sign. I was in the press box at Arrowhead, fucking amazing. Brad Smith is the fucking man too.

Also, WTF is ESPN doing with the bottom line? Missouri 44 - 14 Arkansas State...Mizzou St. # - # Some fucking team? We are fucking Mizzou, they are Missouri State. They can try to share our state name now, but they in no way can take the Mizzou. That is ours, god damnit.

**Rain Man** · 09-04-2005, 11:19 AM

September 3 South Florida W 23-13 1-0 (0-0)
September 10 Cincinnati --- W
September 17 Central Michigan--- W
September 24 at Northwestern ---W
October 1 Minnesota---W
October 8 No. 6 Ohio State---L
October 15 at No. 4 Michigan---L
October 22 at Illinois---W
October 29 No. 15 Purdue---L
November 5 Wisconsin---W
November 19 at Michigan State---W

Penn State has the oppurtunity to go 5-0 in their first 5 games. After that they have a tough time with Ohio State than Michigan and than Illinois, Purdue, and Wisconsin all in a row. They need ATLEAST a win against one of those teams go get into a bowl game.

**Boomer** · 09-04-2005, 12:05 PM

I went to the Georgia, Boise State game. 20 rows from the hedges.

Orgasmic.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 09-04-2005, 01:26 PM

ND is going to lose to USC for sure. You might be right about all the other shit, but I don't know. USC looks real serious AGAIN.

Georgia and Ohio State looked real good yesterday too, I can't wait for FSU vs Miami Monday night. Gonna be unreal.

RP · 09-04-2005, 01:32 PM

USC is way to much for ND. Nd will get pounded that game. They could beat Michigan tho. I mean every year Michigan is ranked high and they play ND, they lose.

**The Miz** · 09-04-2005, 01:34 PM

Miami-FSU is always alot of hype for a boring 17-10 game. Those 2 teams play eachother way too much and are way too familiar with eachother.

**Jesus Shuttlesworth** · 09-04-2005, 01:44 PM

I disagree. Rivalry games are the shit even if they are low scoring. Watching the defenses will be enough for me. Ernie Sims, AJ Nicholson on FSU - Willie Williams and Anthony Reddick on the U. Hopefully Xavier Lee starts for FSU.

Devin Hester always puts on a show aswell. Plus the Miami QB wears a visor. Thats always a plus haha

**VonErich Lives** · 09-04-2005, 08:38 PM

I tell ya, ND is gonna give those top teams a run. Next week will be a good show of if they're for real or not.

That offense looked great, it was the NEP offense, 3 TE sets, 5 WR sets, direct snap, everyone catching the ball, setting up the run with the pass. You'd think Wandstat would have known what to expect. College Defenses are going to see things they have never or rarely seen before going against Notre Dame.

That all being said, USC, I'd like it to happen, just wouldn't put my money there.

**The Outlaw** · 09-04-2005, 09:50 PM

Went to the Bama game. Atmosphere is still unreal. Our OLine looked superb, especially in the second half. They were our question mark (along with injuries of course), so I'm pretty happy with that. We got LSU, UT, and UF all at home so I am hoping for a pretty good year.

**BCWWF** · 09-05-2005, 02:16 AM

I agree with VEL, I could see Notre Dame being the spoilers for USC. They did look good against Hawaii, but for some reason they just didn't seem super dominant. I guess they didn't start last season real hot though, so who knows.

I like Notre Dame . I root for them when they are not playing Purdue. Honestly come on. USC is going to crush ND. 37-14 USC.

But hey maybe i could be wrong. They have a solid team. Brady Quinn seems to be perfect for this offense. I just think USC is 3 maybe 4 levels above ND. I do think ND has a shot against Michigan. They've had Michigans number the past few years.

We'll have a better idea after this week.

Both teams walked over their first week oppnent.

But who was tougher? Pitt ranked #23 before the game or Hawaii unranked?

Dunno, Michigan will be a test to see where they're at.

Also, don't forget the ND game is at Southbend, that's usually good for a few points.

**Joey Slugs** · 09-09-2005, 10:30 PM

*vote for a sticky here too*

**BCWWF** · 09-10-2005, 12:18 AM

OK U of Ohio (not even Miami) just beat Pitt.

Look at Nebraska's schedule, the only good opponent left on their schedule is Oklahoma.

The New Mexico buses are at the hotel across the street from my appts. Faurot Field is going to be hoppin tomorrow night, too bad we have to miss the Ohio State and Texas game though.

Go on.
