It takes a serious lack of talent to make Marquise Lee look average. Of course, his biggest 1st draft pick competition, Clowney, looked average last night as well (although he was apparently fighting the stomach flu). Hopefully it's just first game jitters for everyone.

USC won't have Oregon this year unless both make it to the Pac-12 championships, and USC won't make it playing like that. One of those QB's needs to pick it up or that Stanford game will get ugly quick.

On a funny note for anyone who doesn't have a team in the top 25 (and even those who do if you're okay laughing at you favorite team a bit):

This is what Bowman field looks like right now.

I AM SO EXCITED.

Have you seen this? Cracked me up!

It's college football season again! With that, you can expect a ton of annoying fans doing annoying things. Which Big 10 team fanbase is the best of the worst? We broke it down, school by school. By Ernest Wilkins, @ErnestWilkins

Thank you!! Nice. :)

Ha! I'm NOT surprised to see OSU at #1, but I thought Michigan would be in the top 3 at least!

NOBODY beats THE Ohio State University :)

I can't disagree with the assessment of Buckeye fans. Folks didn't know how to feel last year. It was like "of course they would win everything when they aren't playing for any championships!!!" I had that conversation almost weekly.

I'm tired of your shenanigans.

Also, I just let out a guffaw at your siggy. I keep forgetting I said that lol

It was epic. There has not been much said that could trump it.

And I'm pistol whipping the next person who says "shenanigans."

Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

I remember Sen saying that but can't remember which train wreck it was.


Back on topic: K State, really?

NDSU is tough. I know, FCS and all that, but they've beaten the last four FBS teams they've played. Thank goodness they're graduating about 1/3 of their team - including their QB - after this year.

I'm just reveling in the tears of the Wildcats and old man Snyder. :p

K-State still haven't recovered from the kick off return linked above.

I don't know about that, but I am predicting that OSU will win today. Getting ready to watch the game in a minute.

Watching GameDay right now. It looks like a ton of fun! Enjoy your day!

I'm holding the sign in the middle :)

Humphhh. Thought UM and PSU would be higher. Guess it depends on the rivalry. Regardless, no one in the Big 10 rivals the SECites. Because even if you are a bottom tier SEC team, you are still better than anyone in the Big10, including OSU and UM, amirite? (sarcasm font on).

OSU has a verrry young defense this year-graduation/leaving early for NFL did a number on them. Not seeing them as #2 at this point.

BTW, very conflicted about the UGA-Clemson game. SEC daughter graduated from S. Carolina-so should I pull for Clemson, USC's in state arch rival, or for UGA, USC's division rival? Ohh the conundrum. I might consider it a crater game if I was USC. Sorry clemsongirl!
