LOLOL, my grandparents have been Boise State season ticket holders for a REALLY long time--at least as long as I've been alive. Well, when they laid down the new blue turf the BSU Athletic Dept. auctioned off a bunch of the original turf that first debuted back in' 86. Not only did they win a very big piece of the old turf, I went on Google Earth and checked out their house and you can see the piece of blue turf they have in their backyard.
Anyway, thought I'd share that.
LOL!!
Actually that's pretty cool!!
I remember seeing a short piece on ESPN about how they have to clean dead birds off of the field sometimes during migration season because the birds mistake the turf as a pond.
I think you're dreaming about Cal, although I hope you're right. I NEVER pull for conference opponents. Maybe once in awhile in bowl games where it doesn't matter to the rankings, but even then, I don't want recruits to even consider signing with conference opponents.
Can I join a week late?
I like the way you think...
Mike, I like the way you think.
Minnesota has it's usual power running game.
Cal hasn't shown any guts yet when they get smacked in the mouth.
Maybe being at home will help them, we will see.
I kinda doubt it...but give it a shot...

Thank you :)
We will see, there is always one or two games that I miss narrowly and one game that I blow completely.....
I'm hoping that'll be FSU v. Troy. hahaha....
LOL
actually I'm hoping it's one of the No Line games....
You can't lose those unless an upset occurs.
:)
You were pretty close to 'on the money' with the WVU/Marshall game. Hope your prediction is just as good this week. Although I thought Coach Rodriguez left him in too long, Slaton got 204 yds. White played like he was on cruise control. A lotta poise in that lad.
I think that that is too low. I think OSUs offense may well score much more than that, but I agree, that unless it's technical corrections that can be done between weeks, that OSUs defense is going to get mauled by Texas. Expect that, at least during some 8-10 minute part of the game, that there will be 28-35 points scored.
yeah..
Eastern Washington isn't going to be much of a challenge.
I don't think they will be mauled.
I honestly think that both offenses will come out a bit tight, especially Texas.
Hey Mike my tixs to Penn State game are in the south stands (the last time I was there they really were stands).
Next week is the big week. I think there are 8 games pitting top 25 teams against each other.
Lookout for Troy. Sometimes they surprise ya.
Let me clarify a bit:
OSU's defense getting "mauled" means several big plays and a general inability to shut down drives. At least the 25 points you project, and maybe into the mid 30s.
I expect that the game will go in waves with some point in the game points falling like water, then things clamping down and the team that's behind laboriously closing the gap. I too would not be surprised with a cautious start from both teams.
I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up something like 45-38.
