2009 College Football Thread

[MAD]

I've always been more of a pro football guy, but I've never been inclined to give the amateurs short shrift.  So here it is.

I'll be in East Lansing Saturday watching some Big Sky patsy take their lumps against the Spartans, wondering how much schaudenrfeude the MSU fans will have at what's going on in Ann Arbor.


Will Tim Tebow walk on water this year?
Will the SEC still dominate?
Will the Big 10 be competitive?
Will Charlie Weis' frontbutt continue to get larger?
Will Illinois rebound this season?
Dows NIU have any chance against Wisconsin and Purdue?
Will JD now post more than once every 3 weeks?

Shit begins tonight.  Oregon and Boise State looks like good matchup late tonight to kick things off.

Have at it, boys.

Will Tim Tebow walk on water this year? Yes.
Will the SEC still dominate? Yes.
Will the Big 10 be competitive? Not really.
Will Charlie Weis' frontbutt continue to get larger? Till they can't fire him because it would cost too much to have him moved.
Will Illinois rebound this season? Yes. 8-4.
Dows NIU have any chance against Wisconsin and Purdue? No, Maybe.
Will JD now post more than once every 3 weeks? Not likely.

I hope you're wrong.  I root for ND, but I'm looking forward to the Weis jokes.

Like the Rivals.com preview of the Illini said, we'll know alot about the team after the first four weeks.  They have Mizzou on Saturday, then Illinois State, and then Ohio State and Penn State.

It should be interesting.  I'll also be taking an extended holiday to come home for Homecoming down in Champaign.  I expect to be drunk from the moment I arrive.

Also, I have a man crush on Arrelious Benn.

Needless to say, the Mizzou game is a must win so they have a decent chance at starting 2-2, fortunately the schedule eases up after that, although I still want to know why the fuck Ron Guenther scheduled a non-conference game in November AT Cincinnati, the Big East favorite. I've got tickets to the Penn State game in Champaign, so even more reason to hope for the upset.

Also, what's up with Fresno State at the end of the season, at home?  I mean for both teams?  Why would Fresno want to come to what will probably be a freezing Champaign?

When it comes to scheduling Ron Guenther is absolutely clueless. The first few years at least after rebuilding the stadium should have 7 home games.

Oregon runningback Legarette Blount (who said Boise State "had an ass whuppin" coming to them before the game), apparently didn't take well to having his statement shoved back in his face after Boise's 19-8 win. And by didn't take it well, I mean, he cold cocked a dude in the face.

I definitely watched the wrong game.  That NC State, South Carolina game was a snooze.

Boise St.-Oregon was pretty awful too. I can't believe many people stuck around long enough to see the punch.

So what did you guys think of that Illini season? Wasn't very long or exciting.

At least we found out early that they are shitty.
