Finally CFB begins!! Any games today in Texas and all that rain?

Who cares about rival? lol Top 5 defenses going at it thats why.
So long as the champ game is in North Carolina regardless is fine for me.. stupid that they moved it last year.

You always talk about them having a top 5 Defense ....
Defense is suppose to win you Championships ....

Top 5 Defense doesn't mean much if you don't win when the game counts the most ...
I know ....

I don't know about Games there over the weekend, but I did hear (which makes sense) that the Houston teams have moved elsewhere ...
More than likely that was All the teams, College and Pro.

A thorn in the side of VT fans all over.... that was mostly during the Beamer years with no big offense since Tyrod Taylor was QB...now things have changed.

What's your record prediction for the hokies this season?

I'll be happy with 10 wins regardless... Corso said VT was his surprise team this year so I'm going to say Undefeated till ACC title game and I'll stop there for now.

Most college fans. Alabama got rid of a coach who was winning 10 games/year just because he couldn't beat Auburn.

I'm guessing VPI does not have any traditional rivals?

Good article by Bill C, whose statistics I like.

Bama-FSU will be decided by the passing game

An FYI if you have Directv 4K

College Football

9/2 – Maryland @ Texas, 12 noon ET

9/9 – Minnesota @ Oregon State, 10pm ET

9/16 – Northern Illinois @ Nebraska, 12 noon ET

Won't be in town for the other two, but Ill def watch Maryland and Texas in 4K.

UVA - but VT could beat them without any players let alone a certain coach.

That's interesting... I've not been keeping up but will Dish broadcast any ESPN games in 4K this year?
I've not upgraded my hopper to the 2nd gen yet nor my TV cause its just not the programming there yet.

 

[Jimbo]

Is DISH doing Any 4k sports ?

 

[dvrexpander]

Soon...

 

[gadgtfreek]

Now 10 players suspended from UF for UM. Har-booger should hit a grand slam on this opener.

 

[dvrexpander]

Nice game tonight - Go Indiana!!

 

[Ronnie-]

Indiana is looking good.

They were "right there" in several games last year.

 

[Ronnie-]

Jimbo, what's your thoughts so far?

I fully expect the buckeyes to come back and even win convincingly

 

[Scherrman]

I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!!!!

OK, is Indiana this good or is OSU just really overrated?

Or maybe it's just Indiana at home in a huge game on a Thursday night.
