Utah St goes for it
on fourth down, three yards out from paydirt and they get it against Auburn. Gutsy play. I like gutsy football.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Go SEC
Except Tennessee of course :)

A friend of mine has used the yahoo app on his phone for baseball before and it worked out well for him.
That sucks about your computer, the same thing happened to my old laptop several years ago. If you decide to play I’ll need to round up another person to get an even number, so the sooner you decide the easier it’ll be ;-)

Not sure if i can draft on my phone

I can't decide what to do with the Auburn game
On the one hand, there is my love of upsets, particularly small school vs BCS school in football. On the other hand I would like Auburn to be undefeated when they come to play Clemson in a couple weeks so that the win will mean more.

I was so hoping that the Buckeyes...
would get bushwacked today but no such luck

Alabama's defense is suffocating Kent St (as they should)
35 yards total at the half

Question: if Utah St wins, will UK fans feel better about Thursday?

Now that, my friends
was a football game. Those fans who walked out early deserve to have missed that.
I woke up feeling BLUE this morning. It's gonna be a great day.
Indeed

Offensive Football
Baylor-TCU and now Auburn-USU, nice to see some exciting (read: offensive)j FB to begin the season. Did anyone notice that College Game Day predicted and endorsed (sort of) 4 16-team super conferences plus the demise of the NCAA as it currently exists?

The Baylor game last night was super as well

The Big 10 loves to brag about being so great academically
But I think they need to work on basic counting skills. The PAC 12 knows how to count

Breaking News: DR Top Seed

Just found out we clinched the top seed in our group at the FIBA Americas Championship.
And now back to regularly scheduled FB.

A lot of Oregon's uniforms are ugly.
The ones tonght were sharp I thought. Good looking.
LSU spanked them in the second half though.
Switching between the two. Can't watch on ESPN3 and use my computer both.
Pic in pic would be nice for that though. :-)

Uh - not so much.
Boise State kicked their butt. I still don’t understand the haters. I know they don’t play an SEC schedule, but they aren’t in the SEC. They play whoever will play them, and they beat them. That now includes a top 20 SEC school, a Rose Bowl playing Oregon team and another Pac # team, and 2 BCS victories (including a national championship contending Okahoma) in the last 4 years. How can that not be respected?
I don't understand the love for a team that no one
Could even name 7 years ago. Seriously, who cares about Boise St.

I knew who they were 7 years ago.
They were getting to BCS games and almost winning them. Then they got even better. How can you not be impressed with what their last two coaches have done with a fairly small school football program in friggin’ Boise, Idaho? They gave up 30-50 pounds on the lines and beat UGa on the line. I guess no one care about them until they have to play them. I wish UK could be as relevant or as good – either one would be fine.
Yes Sir!
Spent some time at Mountain Home AFB in the ’89 time frame and was able to catch a couple of BSU home games while I was there. They were coming, even back then.
And agree, they are relevant. Remember last year, when they were looking to play anybody to fill out their schedule? Even if you don’t like them, you have to respect them for their “we’ll play anybody, anywhere” attitude and with what they’ve done with their program over the last 10 years.
If your wings don't sweep....
I actually love the UGA uni's

Not sure what shade of red that is ... but they kind of looked like a bunch of giant Santa Clauses running around out there ...
too much red for me ….. yuck.
Dawgs better tighten their chin straps …. Carolina is up next and that won’t be easy either.
I still can’t believe the “Fire Mark Richt” talk … he’s too good of a coach – and who will take his place??
UGA did as expected
No offense, and Boise score all over them

Now a clear visual of what Santa's underwear must look like. :-P
I was thinking a team of Power Rangers. My grandson had some and I remember, somehow, the red one broke first. :-)
