I don't know, until I see how Thompson runs the Oklahoma offense.....

UAB isn't horrible either.

As an aside, "We Are Marshall", a film about the tragic 1970 loss of the football team and how the University coped with it and the aftermath, is scheduled to be released this Dec.

The FSU v. Miami match-up won't last long as a season opener. But I am happy to have it while it lasts - both schools play it close, usually a D struggle. Playing it first helps both sides gauge their teams without nuking their entire season. But the drama isn't nearly as high playing it right out of the gate - October games were history, these are exhibitions.

Now I agree with you there.

I don't like them playing the game right off the bat.

This game should be in October or November. Not September....

I was gonna say - guess someone has some confidence in him. Good we got the problems over with early. Now we can play us some FOOTBALL!

BTW, what is a UAB? It sounds Arab. Oh, must be Alabama-Birmingham.

Stars Will Fall on Alabama ... this weekend.

BOOMER SOONER!!

Weatherford will be awesome when he matures a bit. Better than Xavier Lee would have been at the helm.

Well, as a die-hard 'Nole fan, I SURE DON'T

You and me both. I kind of long for the days of 28 year old freshmen quarterbacks.

But Weatherford is an awesome quarterback in the making.

Problem isn't the O-line. It's the offensive coordinator.

Yes, I know there were a lot of injuries last year, but FSU's offensive problem has been going on for some time now.

Marshall at (5) West Virginia (-22)

West Virginia has been very good to me over the years. I'll probably lay the points.

He needs maturity and he needs to have some time to set his feet and throw.

For a while there, I was consistently making money just calling Iowa, WVa, and Boise State every week. It was weird.

Oh I'd believe it....

Especially last year, when EVERYONE had WVa as a dog in every game.

I can't wait to see him in action next week. This is like the week before Christmas for me...

Wouldn't it would be something to beat Miami two years in a row?
