The Hogs survived it quite fine, thank ya.

Is there a ranking up for ALL college teams yet... like ones in the sun belt... Im hoping Texas does good this year, we didn't have a good year last year.

Barely, it only took three overtimes, eh?

It was a day game kickoff for LSU.

I'm kind of curious how LSU managed to pull 8 home games to 4 road games. Baton Rouge won't see decent action until the last week of October when Tiger Stadium will host four home in a row.

Would anyone like to do a college fantasy league? I modded one at Yahoo two years ago with some RL friends. From what I remember, you just pick teams to win, not players and stuff like that so it's easier to do.

Let me know what you think and if people are interested I'll set it up.

This blog entry will please our SEC friends (I was pleased myself to see Penn State and other Big 10 representation in there as well) -- Rating College Football's Bests: Which Schools Have The Richest Tradition?

We all knew how much tradition we have down here already. College football isn't just Saturdays, it's my entire fall.

The lack of Auburn on that list does raise some doubts with me though. I don't like 'em, but the War Eagle circling Jordan-Hare and the "Weagle, weagle, war damn eagle" chant are some of the richer traditions in the SEC in my mind.

Anybody wanna do the Yahoo College Football Pick'em with me?? puh-leaze?? I did a league 2 years ago and it's so fun.

Pretty pretty please?? I promise this is the last time I'll ask.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll set up the league.

ETA: Well, it doesn't look like you can join yet, but is anyone interested in joining when it does open up?

I'll join - we do a money pick'em pool anyway, so I can just port the ss to yahoo, plus add message board taunts that the SEC fans will have to look up in that dusty old antebellum dictionary in the guest quarters.

Awesome. I'll keep a watch on the site. Surely they'll be opening up registration soon.

The Pick'em site went up today.

Oh, the memories. I'll comment on the Big 10 stadiums since I have never been to those the SEC


I have only been there once, but Michigan Stadium (The Big House) is very loud.
1. It is BIG. The capacity is 107,501, but has had 112,000+ in attendence for a game with Ohio State
2. Fans sit very close to the field
3. It was basically dug into the ground so the sound is consolidated

Beaver Stadium almost did in Ohio State Quarterbacks. Players couldn't hear the signals from the QB

Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe) vibrates when the OSU band comes through the tunnel and the fans begin yelling. I've taken Texas alumnae to OSU games and they said UT games were never that loud.

I can't wait for the season to begin. USC here I come!
