Go Bears!

Haha, after last season's disappointment, I decided NOT to buy season tickets. I'll buy individual tickets.

Plus, no one fills holes in a depth chart faster than the Men of Troy.

And no one fills a sweater quite like the Women of Troy, right gentlemen?

I really like this graphic showing the locations of each team - cool!

[GOP_Raider]

How much are Cal season tickets these days? I remember when I was a much smaller kid than I am now in the East Bay they were practically begging people to buy season tix.

[GOP_Raider]

Well thanks! Eventually I’m going to get to the Big XII preview, but we have to have a Big 10/Pac 10 squabble before we get to your great plains and Texans squabbling. :)

The USC songgirls are something else. Pick one at random. She’s a trophy wife.

I didn’t marry a songgirl, dammit, but I’m also glad my wife never reads my posts here.

I agree with most the rankings except having UCLA in the mid-tier. Oregeon state is rebuilding this year after losing a ton of starters. They may end up losing 1 or 2 more games that predicted. UCLA has to play no less than 6 Top 25 ranked teams this year and have questions all over the place, including new coaches & system, and two fragile QB's who are both nursing serious injuries. Their schedule is a nightmare.

I believe university of washington will have a better record than UCLA at the end of the season. 6-6 and squeak into a bowl game. UCLA will be lucky to win 4 to 5 games this year. Thus swap their spots in the rankings and thats it. Besides that, the preview was spot on.

Let everyone get it out of their systems before posting Big 12.... ;^)

[Natchez Hawk]

Pac-10? (Yawn)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I see an opportunity for blackmail....... I need my flowerbeds weeded.... ;^)

No arguments from me here. Their cheerleaders are rediculously hot.

I think as long as Jake Locker is in a Husky uni, UW will be competitive. While it might be a Las Vegas Bowl appearance kind of competitive, I think they'll be a decent/good team.

TTIWWP!!

[GOP_Raider]

It’s that whole “demand for equal time” thing that I try to satisfy here. All this without one beg for the Fairness Doctrine.

(Hear that Congressional Democrats???)

[cdbull23]

They're something like $300.

Haha, I've seen you around (I notice the Raiders whenever I see the name!). A friend of mine had "early" access to ticket sales -- I've got myself tickets to the season opener vs. the Broncos (a Monday Night game, too ... can't get much better for a Raiders fan!) plus tickets to the Patriots game in December. Nice!

[Proud_USA_Republican]

The best recruiting tool in college football.

[GOP_Raider]

Yeah, I waited too long to get tickets for the Denver game but I’m going to see if one of my friends back in the Bay will let me use her ticket for the New England game.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Agreed. Locker is the key to UW getting to any bowl. They got a tough schedule just like UCLA, so its going to be an all out dogfight to get to 6 - 6, but I think they can do it.
