I was a little nervous when we went out to play Hawaii last year. We're doing the same this year.

I think I watched the Fresno State/Hawaii game last year. Is that the one where Chang, Hawaii's QB, had a hurt hand and kept coming in and out of the game. Yalls coach is a hoot. He looks like he's ready to rip someones face mask off at the drop of a hat.

lol! Yeah, that'd be coach Hill.

Yes, that was the game. Chang's a stud. He ripped us apart that game. Should be tougher this year for you guys to get off of the island with a victory. Us too. Fresno's going there this year as well. I'm almost more nervous about that game than any of our OOC games.

The Vols will beat UGA and UA this year.

No prediction on the Auburn game (yet).

UGA not to go down to VOLS
I WILL NOT believe that even if it were to show up on ESPN...

QUESTION: Why would you not admit UGA (the mascot) to the College Sports Hall of Fame?? IS he not the most recognized mascot ever???

Although I didn't think Duke had a football team, the schedule is still fairly tough. I hope we can replace Miami with Kansas next year.

As always you'll notice UT has a light week before every big game. Before Bama and UF they are off and before Miami they play Duke.

Tough schedule, my butt.

OH, I am so soory! Maybe the SEC is just afraid to schedule a game against Notre Dame.

I like to give my coworker a hard time with the fact that Auburn accepted me, sent me housing forms and immunization forms, and I didn't even apply to go to school there. The stuff just showed up in the mail.

Here's my situation. I'm thinking of going wild and putting some major pocket change on a bet in Vegas that the Jayhawks will go 6-6 this season. I know there will be lots of bookies ready to jump all over my money, seeing as how KU was 2-10 last season. Am I seeing things through Crimson and Blue eyeglasses or should I make the bet?
Please advise.

The oldest one in the state and one of the oldest in the whole country....yeah, we have an engineering school.

Talk about Mangino fever...6-6. Has hell frozen over? The hardest part will be your schedule. 6-6 in your conference and then playing so many other teams on their homecoming will be difficult.

I saw the light, stovestomper, and went to UT instead of Auburn. Bama was never a consideration.

I had a friend in school with a B- average and a 17 on the ACT. He had to go to Bama, couldn't get in anywhere else.

Knoxville is a much better party town than Auburn.
I lived and worked there for four years after school.
Learned to hate UT football while I was there. Spent just about every home game in the smokies hiking.

BB, I hope you got paid for that endorsement.

Although you have to admit, it is somewhat comical to watch grown people go around with a roll of toilet paper on a stick along with a box of soap powder while cheering their team.

That's what I've heard SS. Nothing will make you hate UT like UT fans. I will say that the only first hand experience I've had is chili and we kid each other, no one gets their feelings hurt, and we have fun. My first hand experience is much different than what I hear from friends. Everyone likes to villianize their opponents, the actuality is much different.

The Roll Tide boys are embarrasing. Those two Bubbas need to retire. It's actually the same two guys you see all over. They're from Scottsboro in North Alabama.

Way to go BB. I knew you were a smart boy. Did you notice that the Deathmarch has been revived over on the trips page?

"That's what I've heard SS. Nothing will make you hate UT like UT fans."

LOL! I was down there a few years back and swear to gawd the only color cars they must sell are white ones.

Car Dealer: Congrats on the new car friend! Would you like us to put the 100 retarded "T"s on before you leave or will you be installing your own?

Actually, I manage to get along with the fans from all SEC schools with the exception of LSU.

I will never, repeat never, go to another game in Baton Rouge. Not only do they slam you about your team, they get personal and start making insults about you lineage, sisters, children.......

Anywhere else and I could have easily been induced to wrap a crowbar around someones skull, but with 100,000 very, very drunk, stupid people on the streets, I decided discretion was the better part of valor.

Jayhawks' schedule, and how I see it.
8/30 Northwestern-Home....1-0
9/6 UNLV-Home.............2-0
9/13 Wyoming-Away.........3-0
9/20 Jacksonville St-Home.4-0
9-27 Missouri-Home........5-0 The goalposts will be in danger if 'Hawks pull of this one
10/11 Colorado-Away.......5-1 Although you'd be surprised how tough we usually play CO and how much they always overlook us until the fourth quarter.
10/18 Baylor-Home.........6-1
10/25 Kansas St-Away......6-2 This is the weekend I hide in my closet and cancel the paper. I have a bet with a guy that KU will lose by less than 35, and two other guys at the bar wanted that bet immediately. I told them I wasn't rich.
11/1 Texas A&M-Away.......6-3
11/8Nebraska-Home.........6-4 Wouldn't it be nice? Very nice....
11/15 Oklahoma St-Away..6-5This is a program that is clawing its way toward respectability.
11/22 Iowa St-Home........6-6 The boys have something to prove after last year. Our ex-head coach is there and rubbed it in last year.
So, here's my fantasy. After going 6-6 and after almost all of the SEC teams are caught doing what they do the best and prevented from participating in the bowl games, KU gets a bowl invitation this year.

NOTE! The above count actually comes out 7-5, but Missouri and Iowa St are both optional in the win-loss columns.
Typical Kansas math.

Thanks, I think you good except on 2 games. First I do not know about Northwestern. The Wildcats will come out tough, be careful. You better cross your fingers in week 5. Don't think they can beat Missouri. I would put them at one game better than last year. Sorry

Wyoming could be a tough game. UT has played them recently and they have an unusual style of play. Air Force might be considered similar.
