College Football: Who you got?

[NuTTs]

I haven't followed college football since I lived stateside.. back then it was FSU and IU for me, then again.. that was quite a while back

Well, the start of the season is just a week and a half away!


I'm hoping that Mark Sanchez and Joe McKnight get healty and can play against Virigina because I want the Buckeyes to roll into LA and beat the best USC team possible so no one can doubt we are the best team in the league this year. 

So here is to a speedy recover Mr. Sanchez and Mr.  McKnight

So here is to a speedy recover Mr. Sanchez and Mr.  McKnight   

I was on campus last saturday and I saw Sanchez being carted off the field (but he was smiling, so I dunno what that means).  However, even if they're both out, USC will still beat Virginia (and Ohio St.).  Have you seen the QB and RB crews at 'SC?  USC will be just fine.

You would really feel comfortable with Mitch Mustaine behind center with the Buckeye's D led by 2-time all american James Laurinaitis?  I wouldn't want our backup quarterback (Bauserman not Pryor) going up against Ray Maualuga and co.  Plus your wide recievers (who lets face it didn't produce as much as normal last year) are going to have to step it up against our secondary.  You'll beat Virginia easily no matter who plays but your going to need all of your starters to even have a shot at the Buckeyes.

All smack talk aside.  I can't fing wait until the season starts.

How is the atmosphere in LA?  Everyone here in Columbus can't wait for the 13th of September.  I can't imagine what campus is going to be like that day.  The time difference means that we will have all day until 8 p.m. to drink and party.  I hope I actually make it till game time. I'd better not start drinking until after dinner if I want to be able to remember the game at all.

We'll see about that, bud. Hoos rule!


OK, I know the chances of Virginia beating USC are slim, but August is the time to dream of the awesome season to come

hold on hold on hold on, i can't remember too good, what's Ohio State's record against SEC schools?

[metallimonster]

Last time I checked USC played in the Pac-10 but they could have transfered without me knowing.

Your right though 0-10 in bowls against SEC teams.  After we beat USC we'll be waiting for the SEC champ in the title game again.  Third time is a charm. 

By the way, the SEC champ is not going to be Georgia.  More like Florida.    Every few years people get hyped up on Georgia and they always turn out as a bust.

We'll the season starts tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to Michigan getting beat by Utah and LSU getting a good game (but still winning) from Appy State.

Crap... my Ducks lost their starting QB before the season even started. This is starting to become an unfortunate trend.   

[metallimonster]

I heard that today but I was listening to the college football pod cast on ESPN.com today and I heard that they really like the back up there and that they should be just fine.

He have like 12 QB's this year. I think we were just preparing. We went through 5 at the end of last season.

The one they were talking about is the kid who played in the bowl game last year against South Florida.

Man I wish Dixon would not have got hurt.  You guys would have got to the title game and then Ohio State would have another BCS Championship.

Ouch.... Ohio state needs a few losses each year. 

Quote of the day from the Oregon Offensive Coordinator "I am a wily experianced veteran when it comes to QB issues."

They barely beat SC last year WITH Dixon and when SC was without MOST of its lineup.  How do you figure? He's good, but he ain't THAT good.

[metallimonster]

All they would have done is win out and after beating USC -to me SC is the gamecocks not Trojans.  Wouldn't have been that hard.  With everyone else losing 2 games they would have been in.

They lost to Arizonza, UCLA, and Oregon State after losing Dixon.  All were very winable games with him. 

He also would have won the Heisman.
