college football week 1

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Mike,

For the record.

I am not a Boise State fan. I have never attended one of their games. Boise is 260 miles south of me. The University of Idaho is 30 miles north of my home and I have never attended one of their games.

If you read my original post, I am a college football fan.

I have never liked the BCS since it started. It doesn't always put the best two teams against each other.

I do think a lot of folks favor college football teams for little reason other than blind loyalty.

Too many "big schools" look down on small college football teams, however, and fail to see that some are in reality pretty good.

A lot of talent comes out of small insignificant colleges. Let me give you an example. Eastern Illinois University.......the current head coaches of the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints are alumni.....also a little known quarterback....Tony Romo...Cowboys.....and A Pro-bowl punter too.

IMHO, the toughest conference in the nation is the SEC.

However, I will stand by my original statement. What I like about college football is the magnitude that emotions play in the game and on any given day, any college football could beat any other college football team because of the emotions.

a)i hate to get overly optimstic for the razorbacks but if they get past georgia on the road, the whole season comes down to saban, which is a home game. if they manage to pull off the upset it's pretty smooth sailing to the SEC championship game after that, except for auburn on the road. we shall see .

. . . get past GA on the road . . . in your dreams Neal, in your dreams! GO DAWGS!!!!

Living in eastern North Carolina, and East Carolina University just 6 miles from my home, I had to be pleased with their win. Nice way to start the season, but they still have a lot to work on with their defense; no team should have to wait until the clock ticks it last tick to win a game.

They wanted a $1,000,000 to play in Lincoln. No thanks. Boise needs to join a tough conference and deal with the grind.

"I prefer to watch college football over pro football because in college ball, emotions play such larger part of the game. On any given night any college team playing any other college team can be winning by a large margin...make one mistake....have an emotional let down...and get beat." .... Ken

prediction - big upset ...... PSU-16 Bama 14

Well, Neal, at least your dreams came true . . .

Well, Neal, at least your dreams came true . . .

well, if it makes you feel any better, after watching 3 weeks i've given up on the hopes of beating saban.

they looked like an NFL team playing a high school team against PSU last week. this week, 4 TDs in the first quarter.

no one is beating them this year. after two undefeated seasons in a row we can look forward to the bear bryant comparisions.
