NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

[gabshere]

Arkansas Razorback & SEC fan

we probably like Texas a little more than Oklahoma does
and we get to play them this year

hopefully will get to watch a bunch of great games this year there looks to be several teams stacked to have outstanding seasons and maybe a couple will make it to the NC game unbeaten.

Also i hope to watch a few USC games not cause i want them to win but i do like several QB's that they have Sanchez and Mustang and Pete Carrol is a good coach probably one of my favorites behind Mark Richt ....

Good luck to everyone on their team having a great season

Mark me down as another Pitt supporter and Big East defender.

As for the Big East/ACC argument, I think you should just forget it Sabres. Most of the people here don't seem to mind the Big East and it's position within the BCS. Sam and Dave are both smart posters who make a lot of good points, (Sam's points on NASCAR are especially interesting) but they're set on their hatred of the Big East and aren't going to change no matter what. You'll repeat the same things, they'll repeat the same things, and it'll just flood the board with a bunch of redundant posts. So let 'em keep hating. It isn't going to change the legitimacy that the analysts and pollsters out there see in the conference. That's what really counts.

Let's keep this thread a great place for college football discussion, and not an ever circling carousel of "The Big East Sucks/No it doesn't, the ACC does" posts. It hasn't become that yet, but it very well could. In fact, back on DBS, for a while I think it did reach that point, and I was guilty of contributing to it.

By the way, there's only 25 days until the opening Thursday night games!

What do you think Tressel has planned for Pryor? Is he going to have him share some reps at quarterback with Boeckman like Urban Meyer did at Florida with Tebow and Leak?

Yes, I expect him to run it much the same as Urban did.
I expect to see him quite a bit in the first few games to get his feet wet before the USC game.

You're a Texas fan.

OK- I'm a Texas Tech fan.

Big showdown in Lubbock on the 1st of November!

No offense, but I kinda think Texas is ranked a little high this year. Other than McCoy, who else is a threat on offense?

Oh i LIKE TECH also!! I can't stand the farmers from A&M!!! My three colleges i was looking at was TEXAS, Oregon STATE and TEXAS TECH!! I can't stand the Oregon Ducks and i remember Tech played the Ducks in the independence bowl i believe and beat them 30 to 27!! Oh yea did i for get to mention they were a division 2 team!!!!! and got bumped to D 1 !! HA HA HA

There are many SEC fans here ... Not just a LSU, Florida and Tennesee fan.

yeah, Go Dawgs!!!! #1 in the coaches poll :up

 

[hancox]

Sorry, cybok. It was really late, and I was tired, so I forgot.

At least I have someone else to defend the Big East againat Sam and David.

Guess I'm chopped liver, too

 

[cybok0]

Yes I am a KENTUCKY fan.


Cybok, since PITT sucks so bad I figured you would want to forget about them too.

10 wins this year. Yeah I said it, 10 wins. Bowl game and hopefully Big East title. WVU saw last year what our D can do. Add McCoy starting his second year, plus Kinder coming back.

I can't wait for this year.

Dawgs will do good this year - but South Carolina always seems to play them close for some reason. Go Cocks!!

I actually see Pryor being utilized in a way more similar to Juice Williams at Illinois, instead of Tebow/Leak.

Pryor's skills definitely translate into more of an option type QB. During TeBow's early years, he was brought in specifically to run. I don't think this is the case in Pryor.

cybok - I'm seeing that Pitt/UConn game in East Hartford Dec 6th as HUGE. Hoping it's for the conference title

Same here, though the Orange(men) have been laughable lately and aren't worth defending (hell, they can't defend themselves).

It's because of the Evil Genius, he's always given us trouble.

I think that's part of it, but I also think that it helps that we usually play you at the beginning of the season.

You mean the Ol Ball Sack?

It's amazing that they made that the last game. Usually it's WVU, backyard brawl makes a big game to end the regular season on.

 

[Paul Wozniak]

I can't wait for the season to start for MICHIGAN. (What else do I got to look forward to?) Even if it is a re-loading year, at least we are leaving the stone-age (LLLLLoyd Carr). I do think we will have a very good defense, and hopefully they can carry the game, while they learn the fine points of coach Rod's spread offense. Change can be good. Maybe we can pull off another shocker against "That evil school down South" like Bo did his first season.

GO BLUE!!!

I see Prior being used as a QB not just for running plays, if they use him correctly they will have him passing as well.
What I remember of Tebow was, when you thought he was going to run, he would pass and vice versa, thats what makes a team so difficult, when you don't know what is coming.

Although Juice had 3-4 TD passes in that game last year, his RUNNING is what did them in.

I hope they just bring Prior in to run the normal offense, plus the special plays he can create of course.
