The fucking NCAA needs to become an semipro sports association affiliated with but not supported by the members schools. Let the schools spin off their successful programs as business entities that are funded by IPO's and run like businesses, let these kids become paid semi-professionals and have the goddamn NFL/NBA/other major sports leagues kick in a portion to make them a true minor league/academy system. Participation in semi-pro or pro sports should be totally separate from the academics side so that we don't have this bullshit happening anymore. Take all that under the table money and put it over the table and not let it affect whether a kid goes to school or not.
This bullshit system we have now is not working for the students, or the colleges. It's making a whole shitload of people a whole shitload of money off exploiting these kids and the public education system. FUCK THAT.

The only people it's working for are the assholes making a fuckton of money who don't want to share it with the actual players beyond whatever shit they can shovel them under the table.

There's a solid chance Clowney puts someone in the hospital in this game. I know Vandy is getting good pub lately, but I think they are going to get ground down.

SC loses to Vandy and Spurrier may just eat his visor. SC by 3 touchdowns.

Vandy SHOULD be winning this game if their offense was remotely functional. As it stands, not so much. I don't think SC can give it away more than they already are, and it's tied.

Vandy gave them a tight game. Lattimore rushed for 109 yards at 4.7 per carry. Still a decent showing by the Commode Doors.

Vanderbilt is no cakewalk. They've made improvements and should be better than Kentucky and possibly Tennessee this year in their division.

Utah opener was a fun romp, plus the Stanley Cup was there!

Utah has a football team? Headed to the USF home opener tomorrow at Raymond James. Drunken shenanigans to ensue, followed by a complete demolition of whatever division-ii school was lucky enough to make thousands of dollars while we demolish them. |

Bah. I still feel Michigan only looked good because the Big 10 has been slipping. Really the only team in that conference that poses any challenge is Wisconsin - which we'll see now that Wilson has departed. Maybe Mich St., but again... QB issues. Don't get me wrong though, I'd love to see Bama fall on their faces out of the gate... but not going to happen this year - not with that offensive line. |

Oh, I think Bama is going to demolish Michigan.
Also, don't forget Boise State/Michigan State tonight. This will be the only decent team Boise will play all year, so you'll want to watch it.

I have to follow Bama by proxy, since the girlfriend's family is from there, so I can be Snakecharmer by proxy? Bama will roll Michigan. Maybe by even four touchdowns. Their defense and o-line is just that good. |

Their defense and o-line is just that good. Isn't their D only returning 4 starters? I might eat my words with a Denard turnover show, but I think it will be a lot closer than 4 touchdowns. Bama also lost Richardson, but I could probably run behind that line... To me, the big question is Toussaint. If he is benched cause of his DUI stuff, MI has absolutely no chance. |

And yet you don't seem to remember the epic beatdown Utah put on them in the Sugar Bowl. Maybe you mentally blocked it.  |

UGA plays our first cupcake tomorrow. Whoopeeeeee.
I'll be keeping track of the other games going on the national scale, Alabama being foremost. It will be interesting to see how their defense adapts to the loss of many key starters.

Unless there's a pick 6, i don't trust Alabama to put up 28 on anybody in the top 10.

If you consider Michigan to be a top 10 team then we should talk about this lucrative investment deal concerning a bridge. |

Agreed. I'd rather the B1G had kicked them out and make it the Big 10 again. Meanwhile Ohio St. 56 Miami (OH) 10. 563 yards of total offense and Meyer refuses to take a knee with the ball on the 1 yard line and a minute left. I for one welcome our SEC overlord. |

Denard Robinson- 200 yards passing on 11/26 attempts, 2 interceptions and 1 TD, 27 yards rushing on 10 attempts.
That's good defense because Robinson is dangerous. I expect he'll run rampant over the Big Ten again this year.
