2006 College Football

Pretty good post.....but please change Dave Matthews Band on Southern Tailgate Entertainment.

Also failed to mention the fraternity house scene on gamedays in the South. Open bars, tremendous amounts of food....tons of alumni and family, hundreds of fellow fratters and sorostitutes.....all starting early in the a.m. after a long previous night of band parties and hefty bar tabs.


On a side note. We win the Big XII South after beating OU in the Shootout by pummeling their anemic offensive line and exploiting their defense that will rely solely on two good LB's. We then play Nebraska or Colorado as usual in the Big XII Championship and gain an automatic BCS bid.

good luck with Ohio State and Penn State

I'm gonna be biased, and predict Auburn to win the west, and then beat Tennessee in the SEC championship game. I think Florida and LSU are both mediocre, each winning 9 games. The SEC championship will get Auburn to the BCS, with an overall record of 12-1. I think that nobody of note will go undefeated, so having one loss may get them to Tempe (NC game, not fiesta), especially considering the fiasco of 2004. I think the 5 teams in the national title mix will be Texas, Ohio State, Auburn, Miami and West Virginia. Hopefully Auburn doesn't lose to Washington St., in which case my plan is obviously destroyed.

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. Tennessee doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting to the SEC championship game, let alone winning it. I'm gonna say LSU and Auburn are going to have fantastic seasons. However, my true hope is that Alabama dominates and either they or Georgia takes the SEC.

ROLL TIDE!

WTF does "roll tide" mean?

I pray that my school have a better winning streak than last year, we were blown out mainly because we had a team full of freshman but this year ithink it will be okay

Penn State isn't on the schedule. Ohio State has to go to Texas and Iowa, as well as taking on Penn State and Michigan at home.

Don't get me wrong, I like Iowa, but when I think of tough places to play, I can't say Iowa comes to mind.

You've never been to Kinnick, so this makes sense.

It's been consistently listed in the top 10 toughest places to play by multiple sports writers, including Ivan Maisel, the Gameday guys and Mel Kiper.

It's a very old-style stadium - holds 75k, all are right on top of the field, old brick and loud (and drunk) as fuck. It's quite comparable to the Horseshoe, and probably only behind the Big House in the Big 10 - it's a great stadium, you southern cats would dig it.

I agree with Shiner....sorry I just don't see it up there with Austin, LSU, the Swamp, Alabama, etc. etc..........


.......And please don't use "the gameday guys" as someone we should pay attention to. Those morons (besides Lee Corso) were the ones who proclaimed USC to be the best team EVER in college football last year. They also started that mindless crap about USC winning three straight championships. Kirk Herbstreet can suck my balls. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if they ranked USC #1-8 on the upcoming preseason polls.

I like Iowa too, but they have had a tendency to choke in painful ways (painful for my Iowa alum pal valkyrie!)

LOL maybe I can help them stop that by paying for expensive houses for their players' families.

Holy crap, I want to see that Iowa/NIU game. Garrett Wolfe is the shit.
