I may be in the minority, but I think the OC change at PSU and DC change at USC is going to work out well for both teams, especially USC. That week 7 matchup could very well be a top 10 matchup, and they also rarely play which is cool. A&M/Texas is very "meh" for me with A&M being so below average lately, and I'm also not high on LSU this year at all. You're right, just a matter of preference.
aggy vs Texas will be carrying the ratings in Texas.. it's been a long time coming
Washington new comer to the Big Ten national runner up vs Iowa who won 10 games last year
This part here is undeniable. I know that will set records in most TX markets.
I get the rivalry intrigue but so many of them are blowouts these days. You'll get the occasional Auburn upset over Bama, but I love the new big time matchups with conference realignment. Now if I'm dead wrong on USC and they have 3 losses by the time they face PSU, then yeah that one drops off the map. In terms of big-time matchups though, week 7 will be something else. Also I don't normally care about UF-Tenn, but the game this year is going to be a barometer for each team IMO, and could end up being the beginning of the end for one of those HCs.
The problem with Nebraska was the tailspin they went into after joining the B1G. The Frost hire ended up really setting them back, but I actually will be tuning in this year. I think Ruhle has them on the right track and Raiola seems like the real deal.
Nebraska did that to themselves. 9-4, 10-4, 9-4, 9-4, 6-7, 9-4 before really falling off. 5 of the first 6 years in the conference were good seasons. was it actually changing conferences that was the problem?
It didn't hurt playing in the dismal B1G West when they first joined, but after Tommy Armstrong they've had no consistency at QB. They also gave Frost a lot of slack while he was shitting the bed. Again though, I like where they are with Rhule. They have a solid defense, and now they have their QB. This is Rhule's time to prove Baylor wasn't a total fluke. They're one of the more fascinating stories this year.
Red River Rivalry 1 vs 18
Looks great to me for the most part. However, the wife has me cooking burgers and dogs for a condo (she is HOA VP) get together. I am beyond pissed. It will be outside in the commons area. No place to put a TV and if so, no extension cord will reach that far. I am like you mean this weekend. Like this weekend? I hate rain and hope it rains this weekend.
I had it all planned to watch but then a buddy got me a ticket for the Oregon game sooooooo. not a hard choice there
You know, I am beginning to wonder about going to games. I have been to 30-40 in my life. Won home game tickets through Subway for Vick's 1999 season.
yuh i agree but when you go to a good one the energy and memory of being their live.
Could always just crank the grill up too high, burn everything, then pass the responsibility to someone else and go inside.
what are the odds we see that again?
