Who is ready for some football?

[mallard]

Only 3 months until baseball season... 3 months.

And soon after, fishing season.

Reb, bummer about the Aggies. Man, they came unglued. I can relate, we have too in the past. At least your Aggies lost to a worthy team, unlike our loss to Notre Dame.

I hope the Vols start |Ricky Clauson next year. He played an exemplary game.

Later,

Charles

Well football is almost over, for me it is. Still waiting on the USC vs. OK game- should be good. Cant wait to see what my GATORS have in store for the next year. Hopefully we can keep this as an ongoing thread. Wont even go with the NFL- watching COWBOYS blow it as I type this. Good luck to all those with new coaches and GOOD LUCK to the SEC- you'll need it-just a prediction. 8)

[Rich]

Thanks, Charles-we are much better team than what showed up yesterday, but turning the ball over 3 times in the first quarter tends to make for a long day. On the bright side now I can concentrate on fishing again ;D!

The way USC is playing right now, it appears that they may be revving up a dynasty.

Either that or Oklahoma is on the take.

[fredhatch]

Dynasty might be a strong word. Theres no doubt who the better team is right now. I dont think it will continue much after this year. 8)

they have 16 of 22 starters returning!

including lienart who i'm not sold on as a great QB but he has been hinting at returning!

[Rob Mak]

to be honest i looked forward to the mich./texas game. man i can honestly say they did not disapoint. although it was the rose bowl and all. still when the horns came out throwing i was a bit suprised-they are known for there running game-it looked to be a tough fought defense game-my favorite kind-with the last second field goal at a tough angle even-that kicker was GOOD-

after 9 pages and 207 replies i thought it's about time i posted on this thread...
what's football? :-/.........lmao ;D

[fredhatch]

We'll explain next season so you have more time. 8)

[zman]

What do you mean next season? Football season in the south never ends.....

You can turn to sports radio any time of the year down here and I garantee you they will be talking about Shula's predisposition to curse on the sideline or Tuberville's huge ears or whether or not Croyle can make it through 2005 without getting injured....there is recruiting, spring practice (we average 35K each year for our spring game), then a break where we make up rumors about the other team(s), then there is fall practice, two-a-days and then we get back into the regular season. Its the circle of life to these people down here.

My state needs a new hobby.

[fredhatch]

New hobby or new team. I pay attention in the off season but it's not my biggest priority. Well let me backup, I do go to the orange and blue game every couple years. New coach- Ill be there. 8)

[mallard]

YAY, BYE BYE PACKERS! ;D

I don't like Green Bay that much as a team... look at 1997 to find out why.

[Bassin_Dude]

im alittle late on this but the gators played horrible in their bowl game. i like the steelers to win the super bowl. what do u all think for the big game

[zman]

NFL wise I like the Steelers, Falcons, did like the Seahwaks and the Packers, Minnesota is tolerable.

[mallard]

Manning could give the Pats some issues without their two starting cornerbacks... but we'll see.

The Patriots are a team with few superstars and well known for nothing, except their ability to somehow overcome and defeat the vast majority of opponents. They have got to be the most adaptable team out there now.

Sure to be a good game, IMO.

[Bassin_Dude]

i will say that they r a good team but i cant stand them. i think they r overrated

[macgyver]

"GO COLTS" 8)

"Peyton Manning for President" (that's for you kybasser )

[Bassin_Dude]

i was talkin about the patriots in my last post. sorry i thought i mentioned that

[danrw84]

Colts vs. Patriots

IMO the deciding factor in this game will be the D-line. Can the Colts handle the rushing attack of Corey Dillon and put enough pressure on Brady to force him into mistakes?

Can the Patriots D-line put enough pressure on Manning so he doesn't have time to pick apart their decemated secondary?

If the Colts can score early and often, it should take Dillon out of the game as the Pats play catch-up. That leaves the Pats in a pass mode which means Dwight Freeney and the other Colts D-line can pin their ears back and smear Brady's face in the turf!

I hope and pray it works out this way....GO COLTS!

[LEVI]

Thanks lizard!

GO COLTS
"Peyton 4 President" & "Marvin 4 Vice Pres."

[danrw84]

Don't forget...

Freeney: Secretary of Defense

Edge: Secretary of Transportation

Dungy: Secretary of Education

Polian and Irsay: Homeland Security...
(for those of you who don't know they just inked a deal with the city of Indpls to build a new retractable roof stadium)

[mallard]

How about Tom Brady for 3rd Super Bowl MVP and Adam Vinetiari for 3rd Superbowl-winning kick? ;D

[LEVI]

Watching the game as I type this.

"How are we going to stop them? I got three words... defense, defense, defense!"
