Captain Bill Burt Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 So football fans, here's your chance to talk trash and/or make your predictions. I'll lead off with some predictions for week 1 results for top ten teams (or teams that in my not so humble opinion should be top ten). Week 1 Alabama beats Michigan (could I predict anything else) LSU beats North Texas Oklahoma cruises by UTEP Texas spanks Wyoming Florida State crushes Murray (not sure who Murray is, but they're going to lose) USC beats Hawaii Georgia beats Buffalo Oregon beats Arkansas State Apparently Nick Saban is the only coach with the testicles to lay it on the line in the first week.

Captain Bill Burt Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 Alabama! Why would a school name their football team after a laundry detergent? I believe the reference is to the movement of the oceans due to the moon orbiting the planet, see inexorable, unstoppable, force of nature. Or just ask any LSU fan how hard it is to get to the fifty yard line when the Tide is coming in. BTW, I have been meaning to ask, is Slippery Rock AAA, or AAAA?

It's going to be really rough losing your first game of the season to a 'blah' team. Hopefully none of their injuries will be season ending. At least you've finally got a good coach with Hoke. Now lets see if Denard can stop hanging those floaters out there and getting intercepted. I think you're about one season away from making a serious run at a championship, conference that is.

Captain Bill Burt Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't much care for any of the little 7, but with Dantonio, Meyer and Hoke the big 3 should all look pretty good this year. I'm actually a little nervous about facing off against Michigan. It will come down to Robinson against our inexperienced secondary, who steps up? I call it Bama 24 Michigan 13.

I don't have a dog in that fight, at least not directly, but pundits think UTEP might beat Oklahoma. Of course if it improves Bama's ranking I'm all for it!

Fairshake Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Blue Wolf, I'm a very hard core LSU fan since I sold 7 UP in the stadium starting in 1958. I've always liked the days when the BEAR coached Alabama and Shug Jordan coached Auburn. They had some classic games and I always pulled for them unless my Tigers were involved. My question is your posting, why does the school have two mascots? They are the only team that I've ever known of that call themselves both the War Eagles and also the Tigers with a Mascot walking around in a Tiger suit. They have the Eagle fly down before each game and then the mascot Tiger cheers on the crowd. Kind of confusing for those who are of schools (LSU) who have only one mascot and go by one name. I'm serious about the question and it's not intended as a put down. I support all SEC schools even though because of our winning all the different championships we now have schools that want in that have never been considered a southeastern state.I speak of Texas A&M and Missouri. Later Fairshake PS LSU played the #1 ranked Oregon team last year for it's first game. The reason for the North Texas team start is that the re setup of the SEC schedule due to it's taking on two more teams. By the way they won their division last year and almost upset LSU. The reason that NICK was so good in the BCS is that he out coached MILES by knowing that Miles was going to play Jefferson and not make any changes. Everyone in Baton Rouge is so happy that Jefferson is gone and as was predicted he went undrafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Bill Burt Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 Apparently Nick Saban is the only coach with the testicles to lay it on the line in the first week. ????? University of Michigan last 5 years: 35-28. Yep, really big testicles. Yep almost infinite in size. Let's see: 1. LSU plays North Texas (not ranked) 2. Alabama plays Michigan (#8) 3. USC plays Hawaii (not ranked) 4. Oklahoma plays UTEP (not ranked) 5. Oregon plays Arkansas State (not ranked) 6. Georgia plays Buffalo (not ranked) 7. Florida State plays Murray State (not ranked) 8. See #2 above. 9. South Carolina plays Vanderbilt (not ranked) 10.Arkansas plays Jacksonville State (not ranked) Not only are these teams not ranked, they're not even close to being ranked, they're pretty much JUCO's with the exception of Vandy and Hawaii. So yes, Saban seems to be the only coach of a top ten team who's willing to lay it on the line right out of the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kajun Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 So yes, Saban seems to be the only coach of a top ten team who's willing to lay it on the line right out of the gate. Seeing as how the schedule was set a few years back I don't think it has anything to do with big brass ones....its just how the ratings came out. Oh...and Honey Badger might end up playing at a JUCO someplace when he gets out of rehab in Houston. I hear that Angola State U has some openings (for those not familiar with the penal system in Louisiana....Angola is the location of the state of LA calaboose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
