This is our biggest game of the season and only our second SEC game.

Athens, GA is very quiet on this beautiful and perfect early fall morning. The Bulldog nation is making its way to Columbia, SC for the big game against the Cocks. Last Saturday, we played Vandy here in Athens. Over 92,000 fans filled Sanford Stadium for the game. I can hear the roar of the crowd from my back yard when there is a home game. SInce I'm no longer a student, it is very rare that I can attend a game. However, I always listen to our local broadcast on the radio even when the game is televised!

Which game are you looking forward to the most?

I can't get used to the idea of Missouri as an SEC team. It's not a Southeastern state.

I know what you mean about the stadium noise. I used to live a few blocks from Owen Field (Oklahoma fan here), and even when we couldn't go to games we could hear the PA announcer and always the roar of the crowd (in addition to watching on TV). Nothing quite like a game day in a great college football town

The game I was most looking forward to is OU and Texas Tech, but because of other commitments I had to DVR it and am now catching up with it

2. Arizona Wildcats visit the Stanford Cardinal

This will be the third #18 team the Wildcats face this season.

The Cats played No. 18 Oklahoma State, No. 18 Oregon State and
today No. 18 Stanford on the week they were/are ranked 18th.

I'm afraid that Stanford will beat us badly today.




Bear Down Arizona!

I'm nervous, lol

Feel like this game is totally winnable...IF the real horns show up.

In other words, they match up well...despite Geno Smith throwing another touchdown on Baylor last night. heh.

If they don't have their hearts right, we're doooooomed, haha. But...that's always been their issue, really. Good news is so far this season, they've been getting it done, so there's hope

I'm just hoping its close, either way Hook 'em!

Er, no. You don't see many people on campus because it's Fall break.

So that might not be saying much.

Ohio State will, of course, be ranked in the AP poll. But I don't know if Michigan or Michigan State will sneak back into the top 25. When was the last time that the Big 10 only had one ranked team, I wonder?

Hey,
It was a crushing, but my Huskers are just an average team, blah! On edit, less than average maybe. At least we aren't on probation.

Peace

The Ducks are knocking on Alabama's door, and the Alabama coach is whining about the effects of "fast" football on the college game.

Ha!!
