Got my season tickets for the Lobos, faculty price! Sept 3 is the first home game. Washington State. Should be telling.

BB, just when I was beginning to like you, you go and say something stupid.
The Big Twelve rocks! They will be stronger than ever this season. However, Kansas will have a tough time winning half of their games. You never know, though. The Jayhawks have a freshman coming in from my hometown. He could be the one that turns the program around, and my fantasy life could get even better.
In any case, I look forward to the season. We must put the Pac 10 back in their place, at the bottom of the rankings.

Kansas is on their way up, but they have a long way to go before they can touch my Sooners. The big 12 North is going to be rough again this year.

Roll Tide Roll.

Bama just got a commitment from Knoxville HS. The guy said he couldn't bare to see Orange anymore except the third Satday(that's Leonards Loser pronunciation for you Yankees) in October.

WK - What do you mean is this starting already. The Southern Boys here have been talking football since Jan 3,04. We just haven't been talking it on TT.

My prediction is that Bama will win 7-8 games this year. After all we've been through, I'll take it.

I'm so happy to see college football back on the screen.

Let's see......VaTech joins the ACC and won't wait until late season to go belly up. They're going to have a rude welcome. I'm going to the VaTech - USC game AUgust 30th in D.C. Ouch!!!

Maryland? This might be a big year. I'll predict them finally beating FSU. They probably lose another stupid game like against N. Illinois and GaTech last year.
But maybe....

Thank god for college football.

It was good to see you being humble with your conference predictions, Dunadan, my son.

I have been conferring with some other sports gods and we have all concurred that the SEC will, as always, remain the best conference.


Kudos to the Big 12 for pushing for a twelve game schedule.

Kudos to Tennessee for suspending Banks for three games. Classy act!

Boos for Florida players Channing Crowder and Jarvis Herring for disorderly conduct and resisting without violence charges respectively. One game suspensions for both. Crowder got off easy considering it is the second year that he has been suspended for the first game.

Middle fingers for Florida’s Taurean Charles who should be kicked off the team for throwing a half-full keg on another student's head. He belongs at Miami, not Florida.

Wishing the BCS bureaucrats a long and unpleasant stay in hell.


BRING ON THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!

Well, Army has a coach now, unlike the last four years. It remains to be seen how long it takes him to build a viable team. We may actually win a game this season. Two would be ecstacy.

JoPa should have a better season at State Penn.

Virginia should have another competetive team.

Bring it on.

Army, ahhh yes. There's nothing quite like the thrill of actually being at the Army/Navy game at beautiful West Point on the Hudson. What a thrill, what tradition, what mediocrity!

PU State. I don't care if aw-shucks-Bobby has a better record, JoPa is the best. Here's hoping that his players can muster the spunk to play well for him again. The tiny ten needs some good teams.

Notre Dame never made ME proud, just nauseous!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Thank God that I don't. Are you surprised that he's not showing? I might have to print a 24"x60" banner on the plotter at work that says, "Fulmer is a Coward." I think that'd be a big hit this weekend in the Smokies. I'd probably get my ass kicked if I did that.

Another move in a long chess match
Chili, how legit is the rumor that Gallion can only serve a subpoena for deposition within the state of Bamer?

Why is Fulmer become the scapegoat for the other 7 coaches that gave damaging testimony in to the NCAA? I truly believe that the decision not to go to B'ham was made between the NCAA and the University. It was a no win situation. Go and the served subpoena becomes the headline. Stay home and the reason you stayed becomes the headline. Anyway, I disagree with the decision.

The other thing I question is even if Fulmer conspired to show Bamer's wrong doing in Memphis, is that some way illegal? Lawyers conspire every day to convict.

Still not excited that this will turn into a national conspiracy. Just another fuse with no boom.

First of all, I love it when Chili says "damn lawyers".
Secondly, Violin, send me a "damn" address, you worthless Scarlet Knight.
Thirdly, don't be hatin', Dayhiker. You gotta get comfortable with this bad football team concept. Believe me, after a few years, the pain wears off.

At least we have basketball to fall back on now. I guess the secondary type of sports will have to do. Seriously, I'm excited about our b-ball team and prospects for the future.

The Bama faithful are excited that someone else finally looks bad besides us. I know that feels good now, but nervous about long term. Fulmer is different because he sought out the NCAA instead of going through proper channels. Sort of like when he personally investigated the rape before the police talked with the young lady.

**Not legit, although Gallion would have to jump through more hoops to have him served in Tennessee.

Why is Fulmer become the scapegoat for the other 7 coaches that gave damaging testimony in to the NCAA? I truly believe that the decision not to go to B'ham was made between the NCAA and the University. It was a no win situation. Go and the served subpoena becomes the headline. Stay home and the reason you stayed becomes the headline. Anyway, I disagree with the decision.

****Fulmer is the only head coach at UT. This isn't about Fulmer. It is about Bama/UT. Besides, Gallion is an #&%!$.

The other thing I question is even if Fulmer conspired to show Bamer's wrong doing in Memphis, is that some way illegal? Lawyers conspire every day to convict.

****Probably not "socially acceptable among his peers", but definitely not wrong.

Still not excited that this will turn into a national conspiracy. Just another fuse with no boom."

****I wonder if another lawyer will get conked over the head and his "proof" stolen, like Phil Shanks claims.

Over the entire course of this lawsuit, so little attention, outside the state of bamer, has been given to this case I doubt you'll run into anyone who cares. In fact, until this morning more internet chat was dedicated to our UNLV game uniforms.

I’m pretty disappointed in my Big 10. When will they learn that to have a clear champion the teams should all play EACH OTHER and not non-com cream puffs? I’m sick of every other year having co-champions. While Michigan is playing Notre Dame, which always makes me giddy, they have Miami of Ohio and San Diego State as the other non-com games.

I want a system like the other conferences have.

Fulmer/SEC Media Days

Here's an equally unbiased article as the SI one, Fulmer legitimizes Gallion

I agree. I don't listen to him. The SI article was about as objective as Finebaum. Where was it that Finebaum graduated from anyway? UT!

I'll be glad when the season starts so that we won't have to get our entertainment from the crap that's currently going on.

Only thing that could make this better is if Auburn was thrown in to the mix.

Oh Boo Hoo, Bama.
Bama tattled on MS State several years ago and got us nailed.
Ole Miss is an even bigger crybaby.

I love it!

Finebaum is the Jerry Springer of talk radio.
How does avoiding the SEC Media Day legitimize Gallion any more than being given a subpoena for deposition on national TV. It was a no win situation.

Another thing how can anyone except Bamer not see that UT went from winning 60% of our games with Majors to winning 80+% of our games with Fulmer. As much as I respect Majors, only in Bama is making the most of an opportunity considered stabbing someone in the back. If we can only get someone to stab Fulmer in the back so we can win 95% of our games over the next 15 years.
trailhound57

Yea, two of my least liked SEC teams.

Bama - Because they are crybabies and beat the crap out of us almost ever year.

Tenn - Because I worked and lived in Knoxville for four years after I got my degree from MSU. Hell, TN is the only major football in the whole state, and they have buttloads of money to buy the best players. No reason at all they should not have a national champion team ever year. MS State played Tenn in Knoxville two of those years I lived there and BEAT UT both years!

Couldn't resist. I grew up also pulling for MSU. The town I grew up in was closer to Starkville than T-town, had a bulldog for a mascot, used maroon and white for it's colors, and usually had a losing record. I grew up with a special fondness for MSU because of all that.

Hey! MSU is going to have a great season this year! We play Tulane, UAB, and MAINE and don't play Georgia or Tenn! ;-)

How the he11 did they get MAINE on the schedule??? Sept 18, those poor cool weather boys are gonna die in the Miss heat!
StoveStomper
4:11:27 PM
7/27/04

They are going to die. At least your first year coach has 3 good games. We got stuck with the hardest schedule in the country. It wasn't a fun experience. UAB is actually supposed to be pretty decent this year. They have an awesome QB.
dayhiker
4:14:16 PM
7/27/04

Oh, crap, UAB is decent. ;-)
We do play Vandy also, but it's at Vandy so I didn't count it as a 'sure win', ha ha.!
StoveStomper
4:17:24 PM
7/27/04

UAB is projected to likely go to a bowl this year. There QB is really good, but blew out his ACL in the TCU game. It was a Thursday night game and the ESPN crew was raving about him.

We have some gimme games this year: Utah State, Western Carolina and a few others. I'm predicting 7 wins. The two I mentioned above, the 3 Mississippi schools, Arkansas, and Kentucky. The UT game could be interesting beside the current issue. They have some problems at QB, OC, and some other spots. Who knows in that game. AU is always unpredictable. We don't have a snowballs chance against LSU and the USC game could be interesting since it's in Tuscaloosa.
