    It's a long season, we'll see how it all shakes out. I'd love for Ole' Mizzou to once again be in the national championship mix, but that first game gave me the willies.

    USC moves into the top spot after their rout of a BCS school coming off a 9 win season, to the wailing and gnashing of teeth of Georgia and OSU fans... :D

    No Trojan football this saturday *wah* but two weeks from now OSU at USC. Hopefully we'll get a good game!

    We gotta work on throwing the ball. Big time.

    I thought that's what we spent all camp on. :mad:




    400+ a game isn't bad.



    But only 400+ against ULMonroe.... :jayzus:

    No whining from here. I would like to see USC play in 85+ degree / 80+% humidity weather to see how they hold up. Besides, Richt was being pretty darned generous in letting our watergirls play the entire second half.

    The rankings don't mean anything for at least 4 weeks. It's way too early to tell exactly how bad A&M is. :D

    Well USC is always a darling of the voters. If they stomp OSU we will have to hear how great they are until the UCLA game.

    Vandy beat South Carolina tonight!!! We're 2-0 and it was our first home game opener against an SEC team since 1992!!!! There seems to be some hope this season.

    THE Ohio State University has all it can handle with middle of the road MAC team Ohio! Even if they pull out the win, they are definitely falling in the polls after this one.

    Bad for the Women of Troy, a beatdown of the Buckeyes definitely won't mean as much, will hurt them in BCS standings at the end.

    We're doing alright against Southern Miss. A couple little mistakes but overall it seems like our O is finally starting to get its rhythm.


    So far I'm pretty happy! :techman:

    I really don't like how this game is going. Auburn should be up by a few more tds.

    And Florida is going to dominate the Whoricanes tonight.

    I'm not too upset. Stupid mistakes have cost us 21 points, and given them 7.

    I'll take that in an early game, especially with a brand new offense.

    We've improved from last week IMO which is about as much as you can ask for.


    That was a question? :huh:

    What the frack happened to Ohio State? Losing their RB put them off their game so much that they struggled with Ohio U?

    So Comcasts menu is completely fucked up and tells me that there is ONE football game on Texas A&M v someone. So I'm having to manually scroll through the channels looking for games.


    I've got Ole Miss/Wake and just recently found OU/Cin..... any other good games on?

    Ole Miss ain't done shit since Eli left, so if it doesn't effect Auburn I usually pull for them.

    Against a non-conference team.... Fucking A! Hotty Totty!
