The academic standards there are so freaking hard you're not gonna get your typical 5 star athlete because most of them cant read. As much as Id like to see ND in the National Title picture for traditional reasons they'll never be there again. Until they lower the academic standards (which wont happen) and join a conference they're pretty much doomed to 9-3 type seasons.

Should be fun in the next few years when they renew the Catholics vs Convicts rivalry with Miami. Of course Miami isnt full of bad asses anymore. Id rather go to South Bend to see them play then Soldier Field.

Woooo! What a weekend. I enjoyed going to the Auburn game, as I always do. Offense looked stellar. Cam Newton is DA MAN! His elusiveness is something else. And man... Can he take it to the house or what? 72 yard touchdown run. Guy has a cannone for an arm too. Defense had me thinking a bit, but we didn't show many different schemes. I think our Defensive Coodinator was holding out on us to save it for the SEC opener this Thursday against Miss. State. As for other schools... Florida, do you have an offense? Glad Brantley is 'better' than Newton. Ole Miss... Seriously? WTF? LSU, you almost ed up... I didn't really get to see many other teams because I was tailgating all day before the game. I'll definitely catch many others this weekend. War Damn Eagle!

Glad that UVA picked up the win Saturday and I hope that Boise State destroys VA Tech tonight..

Glad Brantley is 'better' than Newton. To be honest, I don't think it was Brantley. One of the reasons was that Mike Pouncey is the worst snapper ever. Get him out of there and move him back to his regular spot. Another was the horrible play calls. Why we were constantly going for the short ball when they were stopping it I don't know. Throw some long passes ffs. I think that if we can make those changes, we will be alright. If not, we will be a horrible team and this will be a long season.

I have to admit Shoelace looked pretty good. He showed great quickness and accuracy. Taint Forcier is a baby.

Poor Navy.

Yeah no kidding. They dominated that game. Just that string of bad luck at the goal line. They easily could have won this game by more than 14 points. EDIT: 412 rushing yards for Navy and they had the ball for almost 40 minutes.

I don't know how to feel about VA Tech's new Pro Combat duds. Somehow I find them awesome and hideous at the same time.

I like the helmets with the matte finish. Don't care too much for the circuit work. The all black is kind of cool.

I hate Va Tech with a passion but their 09 Combat jerseys and this years are awesome. I wish Miami would have gotten better looking ones this year instead of those hideous green things.
Also, I see why Miami is predicted to win the ACC.......Va Tech is terrible this year.

Va Tech seems like they are out-sized by Boise State on both sides of the ball. Boise defense looks really good.

Im really thinking Tech over hyped themselves for this game. They look completely just clustered out there. If they can keep it to a reasonable score Id like to see how they regroup at the half. I think the second half will really determine if Va Tech is just terrible or if Boise is good.

...there goes all hope of Boise in the Championship. Even if they win this game, they choked away a decent lead and they don't play another worthwhile team all year.

Tyrod Taylor is one hell of an athlete and one stupid ing quarterback. Rule number one of playing QB "1...2....3... Let her free" Dancing around and getting his dick knocked in the dirt is gonna cost Tech this ball game

Wow, Boise will NOT die. Kellen Moore is really good.

I stand by my belief that Tyrod Taylor is the worse QB of all time.
