We've actually got a fairly sizable fan base here... Me, You, CmdrSlck, a couple other guys. Dunno if Raph is a fan or follows the team; he received is Masters from UA. |

I'm excited for this season, largely because I'm hoping that JPW will finally get his shit under control and become consistently good. It was nice to see us passing a lot last year, but fewer "whoopsie" moments and more accuracy would have been nice.

My team is rebuilding after at least a decade of futility. Should be their best team in several years, but they have THE toughest schedule in the country. To wit-

He didnt have a bad season last year. 2700ish yards IIRC. JPW's troubles last year didn't stem from his talent or accuracy. It's stemmed from the craptastic offense ShulaRader had in place.

I have another disappointing year ahead of me as a University of Arizona fan. I got season tickets this year after getting them last year and really enjoying the experience. Watching your lousy team underachieve is a lot more fun when it's live and with friends. We're planning on starting the same QB as last year, even though he got knocked out of a game at least 3 times last year with a concussion (may have been 4). A strong breeze hits this kid in the forehead, and he's seeing stars. Here's where Landry pasted him in the LSU game. That hit screwed him up for the entire year. We may end up with a decent record this year, we have a weak non-conference schedule. |

Even though I follow more EPL and MLS, my icon shows the heritage. I will watch every game the Tide play and cheer them on to victory.
Snake, you're from Mobile. You think Saban has a serious chance of getting Julio Jones from Foley?
Prothro is officially off the roster. That's sad, but expected.
Imagine him as a Senior and the freak of humanity that is Julius Jones as a freshman wide out with a Solid O line?

My Georgia Bulldogs will start off the year against Oklahoma State in a night game. Then, we take on South Carolina against the old ball coach at night the next week. These two weeks of night games and long tailgating days promise to be trouble for the fans and/or property at large.

Not bad, but he also dropped plenty of snaps, muffed passes, etc. The "whoopsie" moments. I hope he's matured a bit, otherwise I'll have to break out a new set of profanity for this season. |

Snake, you're from Mobile. You think Saban has a serious chance of getting Julio Jones from Foley? I imagine Alabama has about as much chance as getting him as anyone else right now. Prothro is officially off the roster. That's sad, but expected. Yeah, it is. He was a constant highlight reel. A phenomenal athlete with an immense desire to succeed. Good guy, too, from what I hear. Imagine him as a Senior and the freak of humanity that is Julius Jones as a freshman wide out with a Solid O line? *IF* Bama gets him. We'll see. |

I don't think that Brewster is going to live up to his own hype. He seems to be a great salesman (and dare I say... a politician?), but getting talent to come and play in whitebread Minnesota is a stretch at best. The change to a spread offense is also going to be an interesting experiment against the more talented teams that Minnesota faces in the Big 10. I think that this season will be pretty underwhelming and we'll see how long they are willing to let Brewster rebuild to satisfy his wholesale changes. As for defense, given the collapse against Texas Tech in the Insight Bowl (wasn't it like 31 points in 23 minutes?) I've almost considered asking for my jersey back. At my age, that's a sad statement. I do think that Minnesota does have a pretty soft schedule by Big 10 standards this year with 7 home games (instead of 6 like last year), games against 2 MAC teams, and they dropped Penn State and Mich State for games against Northwestern and Illinois. If I remember correctly, they also close out against Wisconsin and Iowa which could help them down the stretch... we'll have to see. I hope that's what you were after. |

Well at least I was right about it not being a gopher! :-D Google says this is a chipmunk-  You can understand my confusion. And no, it is not just due to my rapidly advancing age. |

Yeah, and color me retarded for forgetting Mason got fired. Minny's offense was definitely not the problem, least back when you guys had Maroney and Barber, so I don't get the whole spread thing. Then again, I'm not a big fan of the spread itself. It seems like coaches adopt it more because it's a pain in the ass to defend than because of its effectiveness. (And yeah I'm aware OSU ran out of the spread more often than not, but I think that was more taking advantage of 5 receivers that could run 4.3 and an offensive line that couldn't drive block my mother rather than an offensive philosophy) |

My keyboard would die before I finished typing the number of swear words I could dedicate in the general direction of that fucking school...
I'm still not over that national championship and I only was able to stand for the first quarter and a half I got myself so drunk in such a hurry as a defense mechanism.
Anyways, I'm excited for the college football season but less so then usual, something about having no idea who the starting QB is always does that to me.

Losing a National Championship is bad, but you'll still come up a few swear words short of any Georgia fan when it comes to Florida. |

I tried that one a couple of years ago when the Seahawks went to the Super Bowl. My last clear memory is watching the game through the window (the keg was outside) and screaming obscenities about the colorful refereeing. Must have been about half time :-D |
