College FOOTBALL 2008 is back!

[Hershal]

I am starting this somewhat early, because the recruiting class and games were televised about a month ago in late March/early April 2008.....

This time, we get to posture a bit.....let's do the brag and swagger routine in advance.....

Let's describe why our respective team(s) will do well or not so well in the upcoming fall season.....

If any are fuzzy as to conferences, and some have switched after all.....

Now, to stir the pot just a little.....I was born in FL, grew up in AL.....live in So Cal.....I was born a Gator, adopted the Tide.....and respect the Ducks and Beavers, and most especially if they beat USC or UCLA, but especially USC.....

Let's have some FUN!!!!!!!

Well, it is early, and there has not been much news coverage yet, but...

The Georgia Bulldogs are going to be the team to beat.

One thing I did see the other day is that the 'Dogs are looking a lot farther afield for future non-conference games. Notre Dame, for one, has been talked to, but it seems they could not work anything out.

Personally, along with the Ducks and Beavers, I would like to see Georgia beat USC (and not the one in the state just north of here) as well.

I agree, the Dawgs are the ones to beat in SEC East, but the Gators may be spoilers there.....

Sorry to rain on your parade but the Mizzou Tigers are going to take it all this year. They showed their meddle last year and if they hadn't riled the Sooners with bulletin board talk would have been in the championship.

This year they will take it all and Chase Daniels will become a household name and hero of the small quarterbacks in America....

No discussion here. The Rose Bowl will be won by USCalifornia (not University of South Carolina)

But, maybe UCLA might do better with their new Coach, but won't win the Rose Bowl

Over the weekend I got "The History of SEC Football" from Netflix.....absolutely fantastic.....anyone that enjoys good football and rivalries should see this DVD.....

I enjoyed that Alabama and one other SEC team won in the Rose Bowl.....and Alabama beat USC (So Cal) in the Rose Bowl the year they played.....

Michigan Wolverines fan here!
Also somewhat a SEC fan, but only because I have had the pleasure of watching SEC teams EMBARRASS Ohio State!

[Hershal]

Wolverines.....one of the few Big-10 teams that would be welcomed as a SEC team.....not to say Big-10 is not good.....Big-10 is great football.....but there is good (ACC, Big East, Conf USA), Great (Big 10 and Big 12), and then there is SEC.....

For example.....if you want to rob a bank in AL.....do it during the Iron Bowl.....you will have 2-3 hours before anyone even knows.....personally, I think the Iron Bowl lost a bit when they went to the current system and away from the neutral site.....

OK, I am a bit biased.....

Anyone in Vegas for the Iron Bowl besides me?
