2009 College Football Thread

I am interested to learn about this HS league but when I go to the NAIA football website all I see is a picture of a girl in pads??

The University of Delaware plays in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision.
They wouldn't be competitive in the SEC, but neither is Auburn

I would argue, but do I really need to? Either you watch football so you know that's bullshit, or you don't so what's the point.

How is Maryland supposed to be this year? They are coming over here to Berkeley this weekend. I have a feeling Cal will win because they will be out for blood for last year's loss. Though I don't know if it will be close or not.

So Anc, how's that "never before seen" spread offense coming along?

Meh, so we had a bad couple of seasons (however even during which we still managed to provide the only loss to the National Champions) but to finish 1st in your Division 5 out of the last 10 years, including one Conference Championship and final ranking of no. 2 in the nation shows a bit of competition.

*edited for accuracy. This weekend is like fan appreciation day or something. Not an actual game.

Prediction: by the end of the season, people will be talking about Mizzou's sophomore QB Blaine Gabbert as "the next Tim Tebow".

God damn, season is taking forever to get here.


Okay, so some mental masturbation while we wait. What REALISTIC changes would you like to see to rules/system/etc.



As I said earlier, I'd like the PAC-10 to expand with Utah and Boise State. AZ isn't a coastal state and both Utah and Idaho border PAC-10 states. It'd shut them up, and make the PAC-10 more competitive.

Throw Notre Dame in the Big 10 while you are at it.

Basically get every conference up to 12 so they can have a championship. Then instead of ranking teams, have the computer/coaches/AP rank conferences. Top four conferences get to send their champions to the Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, whatever, with the winners playing in the BCS championship Game.

1. Doesn't fuck with Bowls or the Conferences
2. Adds only one game to an already long/hard season
3. Would fix 99% of the problems*.




*How many times are there 5 teams that have legitimate claims to the big game? Usually it is just three and every once in a blue moon you get a 4th.

I have always wondered why we include Arizona and Arizona State in the Pac-10. Why not drop them and grab Fresno State, San Jose State, San Diego State, and UC Davis? I think Davis might be Division 1-A instead of 1-AA even though they play in a 1-AA conference.

Auburn football is dead. And I think it deserves death.

Does anyone else hear that?

You mean the season opening in a few hours? I can hear it approaching as well.

SEC 7, ACC 0 10min in.

And a blocked punt.

Ol'Ball Coach may be a douche, but he knows how to build a program. I wouldn't be surprised if SC comes on the national stage in the next few seasons.

Seriously, no one is watching SC v NC State?


You people suck.

Free Chik-Fil-A if you show up at a store on Monday wearing your team colors!

You bitches better be at a bar or a chicks house* watching the game.






Where the hell everyone at?!?!?!


















*wife doesn't count

What is this, 2006?

Florida was shit before he got there, and he didn't make them a Conference team instantly, much less a National Team.

Good for her. She's a cool chick and deserves a night out with a nice man.

In other football news I bought my annual new hat for the season today.

Upstairs asleep.

So apparently when the question is "It's not even Auburn, can't you just DVR it?"

The WRONG answer is:

"Wait, wait, wait... You want me to record THE FIRST NIGHT OF FOOTBALL so that you can finish watching your episode of Sweat Equity THAT IS OFF THE DVR?!?!?!"

Who would have guessed?

I was about to buy GamePlan today ($20 bucks off), was actually on hold when it hit me... 'Didn't you read something about the SEC signing a contract with ESPN?'

Hung up, called my Dad, and yep, every single Auburn game is going to be Nationally Televised.

Here's the real question... when SC beats NC State, do I pour out the rest of my beer, go upstairs, say I'm sorry, and give her 2 minutes in paradise.





Or do I quit this Busch League beer BS, pull out the Crown and go to town with the Oregon Boise St game?

Pussy is for halftime.



I am pulling out my AU Tervis and handle of crown. It has been decided.

Hmmm.... Maybe half a lb of spicy (and Sam's Club doesn't lie) italian sausage and Coors light might not have been the best idea for dinner.

On a unrelated note I am currently in the process of fixing my downstairs toilet.

On a completely unrelated note, last smoke break I decided that organic fertilizer was just what the dogwood out back needed.

Advertising works.





I need a Grooler.

Wow... two great drives, two missed field goals.

They promptly rolled up the sidewalks all over town at 1700 for this football game, which didn't even start until 2015. Traffic going into downtown was bumper to frickin' bumper. If BSU wins it might be worth it to take a cab downtown later tonight- it's gonna get fuckin' NUTS.
