Texas State? Seriously?Does Hayden Fox coach there?

BKB

[quercus alba]

Everett Withers is the coach. They run a no huddle offense

[Chicken Dinner]

Thanks for throwing me a bone. After last week, I'm not sure my Wolfpack could hold my local HS team to 17 points.

[quercus alba]

Ecu is a good program. Better bring your A game when you play them

[Chicken Dinner]

We have a long history with ECU going back to when I was at State. It's a tough game because they really are a pretty good program and its a big in state rivalry for the players. So, I wasn't surprised we lost. You just don't get much credit when you beat them and it looks bad to folks who don't know better when you lose.

QA, those are some pretty good predictions....the odd thing is that #17 TAM is playing unranked Auburn, however the bookies have TAM as the underdog, and giving them 3-1/2 points....go figure....home field adavantage, I suppose.

Even though I loathe preppy Ole Pizz, they are gonna play Bama a close game at Oxford....they already beat Bama the past two years....bookies are giving Ole Pizz 10 points, and if I was a betting man, I'd take Ole Pizz and the points.

The FLa St./Louisville game is gonna be a sho'nuf shootout.

Tulsa played the Purple Pirates every year when they were in CUSA at the same time and it was always a great game.

Ed, the LSU/miss st game could be lower scoring. I haven't really got a feel for everybody yet

[BarryBobPosthole]

The first game is the one I think you might be wrong on. I am predicting Fuckstick gets his comeuppance when they play FSU this weekend.

BKB

[quercus alba]

I certainly hope you're right posty. I hope they trample the Cards then Jimbo puts a side suplex on lying Bob then applies the Tarzan Baxter toe hold on him

[Big Muddy]

Ed, the LSU/miss st game could be lower scoring. I haven't really got a feel for everybody yet

I shutter to think of the final score.....could be a 10-7 game, or a 63-9 game....playing in Death Valley, as 17-1/2 pt. underdogs....we just aren't a good enough team, this year....young and dumb...lost both starting cornerbacks, before season even started.

[Chicken Dinner]

You're probably right, but I would love rose Sparta take down the Irish. All the ND apologists would be losing their minds at 0-2.

[Big Muddy]

Gonna be a good game on tonite....#6 Houston at Cincy, both are 2-0....Cincy isn't ranked, but has put up some good numbers with an accurate passing/scrambling QB, in sophomore Hayden Moore....the line is only 7-1/2 pts. to Cincy.

[BarryBobPosthole]

And both are trying hard to get into the Big 12. Houston beating OU sure made their case a lot stronger.



BKB

[quercus alba]

Posthole I'm going to be severely disappointed if the Sooners let the buckeyes out of Norman alive this weekend

[Chicken Dinner]

I think Houston and Cincy make a lot of sense for the Big 12. Maybe not from a revenue standpoint, but Houston from a geography standpoint and Cincy is a big rival for WVU.

[BarryBobPosthole]

An unfortunate but fortunate fact about the Sooners this decade is how well they bounce back from losses that should have never happened.

Because of that, I picking the Sooners by 20, 34-14.

BKB

[Chicken Dinner]

On the plane and trying to follow the game online. I sure wasn't expecting such a low scoring affair.

[Chicken Dinner]

Totally different 2nd half.

[Big Muddy]

Cincy hung tough for 3 quarters....but collapsed in the 4th....that little QB, Ward, is tough as nails.

[quercus alba]

I'm a traditionalist, I don't like what this read option offense has done to college ball. I know coaches are under pressure to win and it leads to success but I haven't evolved as fast as the game has. If you want a running qb that can't throw and receivers that can't block or run anything but quick slants then CFB is quickly becoming the sport for you

[quercus alba]

Well I hit on 7 of 11 but Posthole and the Sooners sure let me down. Anytime Notre Dame loses it's been a good weekend. Guess Charlie Strong ain't there yet.

Next week is show and tell time for Arkansas. Bout the only hope for us is if Miles Garrett twists an ankle getting off the bus
