Good win for the Trojans! It was a much better game than ND and aTm the night before! I don’t think I’d be packing my bags for Indy just yet were I a USC fan but they played well. I thought their defense looked much better, Lynn already making strides. LSU loses their 5th straight opener, I think. Not a good look for BK, especially at the post game presser. Not a good look at all!

Yeah, he is pretty good. I’ve watched his stuff many times.

I’m kinda glad I don’t have the B1G network. What the hell happened?

While I was very impressed with Hunter and Sanders QB, I was very unimpressed with the team. Kinda worried for the health of Hunter this season. He is an outstanding player, maybe the best player in the Nation, but it’s going to be extremely tough to play that many snaps all season. I would hate to see this type of play hurt his career, it would be a terrible shame. NC State didn’t look great either. Maybe some of that is bc it’s the first game?

“He is day to day.” or “He is week to week.” When updating the status of an undisclosed injury or health of a specific player. There was a time when this one would drive me crazy! 🤷🏻‍♂️ I mean I understand why this broad of an answer is used, but seriously, does the young man have a mild case of dehydration, perhaps a slight cramp or has he sustained a severe level 4 concussion that could lead to brain damage? Is he going to possibly miss a game rep or two or should I be praying for his friends and family? Obviously I’m kidding a bit, but this type of response used to really get under my skin.

I’m very excited for Bo! I’ve watched him this Preseason and he looks good! I’m not surprised that he looks good, but I’m a bit surprised he looks so good so early. I hope he keeps it up.

Yeah, I didn’t want to say something and ruin the mood, but some of these rankings are mighty suspect! Iowa is a tad high, and Tennessee is a tad low to name a few that might be a bit off.😂

Yes, I’m afraid you are very right about this! The man is a good coach, and he isn’t likely to ever want for talent at Bama. He is going to very likely be a thorn in both of our sides in the coming years.

I love watching these kids play in the Little League World Series!!! Great game on now with the Northwest taking on the Southeast!!! Sure the Northwest team is from Washington, but I figured you guys still might pull for them. Heck, most of the Southeast team are basically Florida Gators, but I’m still pulling for them!!!

If you win a conference championship you likely won’t host a game, I think you get a bye as a top 4 conference champion. I think it’s 5-8 that will host, but correct me if I’m wrong. I would much rather win the conference and skip the first round of the Playoff. That is going to be very tough in the SEC this season though.

I agree, but if you go undefeated in the regular season, you make the Playoff!!!

This is exactly what I was thinking. The Heisman would be great, but not at the expense of the team. I’d love to see Gabriel or Beck win, but I’d rather see the Ducks and Dawgs have great seasons.

Perhaps he is comparing them to last season’s USCw defense. They really wouldn’t need to play very well to be a vast improvement. They gave up a ton of points last season, absolutely terrible. Truthfully though, they should be much improved. Lynn should have them playing much better in time.

As stated above, I disagree. I don’t think we would lose every game. It’s a pointless debate anyway though, it’s never going to happen.

I disagree, we wouldn’t lose every game.

Sure we would. We won medals every time we’ve competed as amateurs. Nine gold medals playing amateurs.

I’m not old enough to remember that, but that’s certainly what I’ve heard from my Dad and older friends. The Soviets saw it as another way to prove to their people that the Soviet Union was better than the USA.

There is no sure antidote for superior talent! Just ask TCU or FSU.

I kinda wish we would go back to playing amateurs. As in the top college players. It’s kinda cool to see our NBA players, but anything short of gold is a massive disappointment. If we played our top college players it would be more interesting to me and mean more to win gold.

I understand your point, but in football there are many instances where a head coach has to make a decision and will be thought a genius or an idiot depending on the outcome. As for me, I try to understand that that the HC has more info than I do so I hope that there is always a good reason that he makes a decision that I think was stupid after the fact. Who really knows though, it’s likely sometimes a HC just gets aggressive and it doesn’t work out. Being aggressive isn’t the worst trait for a HC IMO though.

I think 11-1 is very doable for the Ducks. There are some tough games but other than maybe the Ohio St game, Oregon is likely favored in the rest for now. Of course, every very good team usually plays 1 or 2 out of character bad games a season, so only time will tell. I do think 11-1 is a reasonable optimistic goal. 11-1 is the goal I have for my Dawgs as well. Sure it’s been awhile since we’ve lost a regular season game, but our schedule is brutal. I’ll be very happy if we get through it at 11-1 without being too beat up at the end of the regular season.

TN has a very passionate fan base, and like any, they have good folks and some not so good folks. Some of them get a bit testy quickly because they are very proud of TN football and they’ve had to deal with 20+ years of mediocrity. It does appear that CJH has been very good for their program though, and perhaps they are finally turning things around.

Who cares? He is a reporter from TN, and he is just attempting to report something that he thinks his readers will be interested in and want to hear. It’s likely that many TN fans are jealous, and tired of hearing and reading the hype and positives surrounding the Oregon program and Dan Lanning. Many TN fans are also saying that Kirby Smart should be fired bc of all of the off-field issues or because we lost to Bama and missed the Playoff. Many are topping it off by stating that TN would never employ such a terrible person! 🤣😂🤣

I agree with everything that you stated above. It just makes sense, and is pretty much the way I am feeling about things. Yeah, the SEC might be very interesting this year. We, UGA, are certainly going to have to earn things this season. Our conference road schedule is seemingly going to be very tough! Should make for some very good football though! I honestly don’t expect any SEC team to go undefeated in the regular season.

I’ve just now had time to look over the article you posted regarding Rivals.com. I find it very interesting and helpful. Thanks for the guidance, it’s much appreciated. In the future I’m going to make use of Rivals.com as a go to reference for recruit rankings.
