College Football is back!

[Geeko Sportivo]

You can add Alabama and Texas A&M to that club.
I haven’t seen the SEC looking this bad at the start in a long time.
Texas flat out won in the trenches… on both sides of the ball.

With all of the shifting around in every division, and with the new blood and competition, I think it is gonna be tougher now, in just about every division, for the same old teams, that used to dominate, to win out.

You'll start to seeing even the best teams loose at least 1 or even 2 games! And I also believe you'll start seeing even the worst teams start to win more in these divisions as they learn their prey!

Alabama is still a damn good football team, but Texas improved a little better over last year, more so than Alabama. Alabama is far from being in trouble.

Texas basically had to rebuild their team to beat Alabama, and not just Oklahoma like the mode they used to be in.

Texas 2nd true test will be their old rivalry- Oklahoma- who wants some serious revenge after getting their asses beat by Texas so convincingly last year!

The Red River trophy don't stay in one house very long, as that thing goes back-n-forth just about every year.

There’s more parity now for sure. I like it!
Clemson getting creamed by… DUKE !?!?

Yes, Duke has been propagating some very good Quarterbacks here of late.

The honorable mentioned Daniel Jones just don't have the receiving core he needs to win right now.

The Giants ever figure this out, they will be back in the hunt. I mean they did manage to make it to the playoffs just last year.

But yes, GO DUKE give em' hell!

Do you get the feeling Saban's aura of invincibility has worn off?

More likely other schools now have the luxury of buying players as Sabin has done for years, as he accused Fisher of doing

I didn’t hear about that but looked it up on YouTube.
Wow! Saban really really fucked up singling out A&M.
He’s normally more guarded than that.
That said, I think he’s a short timer. Bought a $19M house in Jupiter, FL. THAT’s his little vacation home?

Boston College almost lost to former arch rival Holy Cross, now an FBS team,
and not even a serious FBS team--a non-scholarship FBS team.

The Crusaders are practically club football now,
but they just missed knocking off the hapless Eagles.

College football doesn't get much coverage around these parts,
and the way the Patriots look,
I don't expect to see or hear too much about those motherfuckers, either.

The Red Sox, however, fired feckless GM Chaim Bloom, thanks be to Christ Almighty.
Maybe we'll at least have a summer next year.
That's more important to me [if, of course, I'm still here next summer].

You'll be here but wait a minute they're still the Crusaders?? How is that possible they just made our Crusaders here change their name... because well you know...

We're very much on the same page with that nonsense.

Yes we are... Crusaders they will always be to me... (nice to hear that BU won though...)

Tough for BC to recruit, too many standards, and college football in New England has remained regional, of which BC doesn’t have any real rivals

If we had a league with Army, Navy, Penn State, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Rutgers, Maryland, Temple, and Connecticut, for example, it might have flown.

Nobody wants a steady diet of Virginia, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Duke, NC State, Wake Forest, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Florida State and Miami.
because we're a very provincial, geography-bigoted [Earl's description] area.
The ACC package draws crickets for TV ratings. They'd do better showing Little Rascals or Three Stooges shorts instead.

In the Flutie era, we had had some great games with Clemson, Miami, and Alabama, but they were like dessert, not the main course.
College football is dead here, now, and nobody seems to care. Even Harvard, which used to average about 25,000 when I was a kid, draws flies now.

The Brady-less Pats don't exactly give me the vapors either.

I'm happy if just the freakin' Red Sox get their act together.

Last year he accused Deion Sanders of paying a player $1M when sanders was at Jax State.
He seems to be losing his mind.

Didn't you graduate from F.U.?

[WinterBorn]

Do you get the feeling Saban's aura of invincibility has worn off?

Not today I didn't. The defense crushed Ole Miss, and the offense looked much better. The O-line still needs work, and the center needs to be replaced.

No team really stands out at this point.
Nice to see Kansas at 4-0. Second year straight.
