College Football 2009

[VictorCharlie]

My two favorite teams are and will always be LSU and Notre-Dame, LSU because of the french background over here and the Irish because, well, they were irish with grits in when the team got founded. I must admit though that I don't follow that much collegial football by lack of time and the system of the bowls is quite confusing, even To a North American like me.

As long as Notre Dame has their own TV/BCS contract I will root against them. Just irks me that they get their own special rules for BCS bowls and that no matter who they play on Saturday its on TV.

I agree. such contract is totally unfair for the other teams and it is a rightful reason why to not like them, the thing is having Irish blood myself and cheering for them since I was a little wee kid, I emotionally have a lot of difficulties to stop to like them but I am rational enough to realize that this contract is unfair and not good for the whole collegial scene.

GATech will win a National Championship within the next 5 years!

ECU-WVU today.....I hope my Pirates can travel well, they have never won at West Virginia.

Tech will never win a NC under Paul Johnson. Guaranteed. Like a 0.0 percent chance.

He's a good coach though but they'll never be able to recruit the top athletes with that offense.

God I hate Tennessee.

Much more than Auburn.

UCLA fucking around and making them look good.

[OumaFan]

Tennessee is spectacularly bad!

Horrible. Ahahahahahaha.

Tied 10-10 versus the University of California at Los Angeles.

Jonathan Crompton just threw his worst interception of the day, even worse than the first one.

Fucking hell we are going to massacre these inbreds.

Growing up I was a very big ND fan, but Van Childs is right they are like the WalMart of college football, a big evil corporation with shady business dealings. Not sure if that actually applies to Wal Mart but it definitely does Notre Dame. I still like ND, a little but I'm not a huge fan anymore. Just like when I was a little kid I loved going to Wal Mart.

If ND is Walmart then Michigan is Claire's.

Yeah I know about their corporative ties and it really saddens me, I have nothing to say against it, unfortunately *sigh* it is very hard to start to dislike a team I've cheered on forever.

[OumaFan]

None of that stuff is reason to turn against them if they're really your team. It gets annoying for people that aren't ND fans but lets face it every team would love their own TV network.

Okie State is most definitely not going to win the B12 this year

He's a good coach though but they'll never be able to recruit the top athletes with that offense.

...remember another school that ran the option? NEBRASKA, they didn't have much trouble recruiting and not that it's the end all be all, but Option Offenses keep their players for 4 years whereas schools with more "Pro" style offenses can lose players early.

Option QB's aren't really the same as spread QB's so GATech will get the BEST option QB's easily. Another great thing with the way Johnson runs the option is that the dive back/fullback isn't really a fullback, look at "The Other" Adrian Peterson, look at Dwyer he's just a bigger running back, he's no fullback and that means the dive play is more dangerous than usual because the dive back has the speed and the agility to break it at any time.

Don't sleep on them, this is only the 2nd year they have run the option at Tech...soon it'll be what it was at Georgia Southern where that offense was called the "Touchdown a minute Offense"...what worries me is the defense, they have to have a good defense in order for the offense to work correctly.


ECU lost, apparently they had an awful game especially Pinkney who was something like 16-40 in passing.
