Who is ready for some football?

It is extremely ignorant to say that all pro-athletes are on steroids and stuff.

That's like saying all fishermen go for largemouth bass. Yes, a small number of them do, but in the grand scheme of things, very few fishermen world-wide actually go for bass (there are so many kinds!)

[WTL]

My thoughts:

Chad Jackson is a big-time player for the gators. Shame we couldn't get him out of hoover. Looking forward to the UF game in a couple weeks.

UT as I have been screaming for months is overrated.

Auburn will be a good team by years end, but its obvious that the 13-0 year was a once in a lifetime season for them. Cox has a good arm but plays young - he was obviously intimidated by the blitz.

Oklahoma has a long way to go. That program which regenerated might be losing a little momentum.

Fran now has the same record as Shula in the past 3 years. That being said, Shula in that time has had half as many healthy players and is doing the better coaching job - Fran is a snakeoil salesman who fooled what was a distinguished fanbase and school, and they would do well do beg RC Slocum to come back.

Spurrier is doing a great job with his qb once again, but they'l need to develope a running game and their D is questionable.

Notre Dame played well on offense, but they will have much more trouble with michigan.

Alabama started slow, but Croyle got into a good rythym late and Darby and Castille are both 100%. Long season, next up southern miss.

Gators played well, not liking the rumor that Bortis(?) might replace Leak during the season. Also glad to see that Zook opened up with a win for Illinois. Good game will be Miami vs. FSU. Dont like either but the game will be good. Glad to see the thread back and running. Let the chit talking begin.

[bassfisher02]

that would be the second string QB Josh Portis. he can run WAY better then leak anyday........but he will never take chris's spot because chris can throw alot better then him. if anyone is into the gators and knows alot of the players.....keep your eye on #51 bryan royal. he is on the kickoff team, and is a big hitter......and i might be going out with his sister in a few weeks. shes in a few of my classes, and shes hookin me up with alot of autographs. she looks good to....lol. im lookin forward to the season, looks good. tennessee looked awful, and how bout that huge upset by TCU....

[Dyas]

Heard that man good luck with the girl............. Im gonna ask out girl as soon as school starts back. She hunts, fishes, rides 4 wheelers, is a big Tide fan....... Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Just what i want. She aint to bad a lookin herself......... Ive known her since 4th grade so I we know each other pretty good. Only reason I waited so long to ask her is because I was already with another girl and tht relationship ended when I went fishing lol.............. But yall better watch out for the Tide boys because they are going to be Hell to score against with there awsome defense.............. let the best team win.............

[454ss]

Hey man i got me a girl now too and she loves to fish not much of a hunter though cause she likes animals lol. Fine *** too lol

[Dyas]

Heard that lol...........

[WTL]

So what are the big games this week? Michigan and Notre Dame?

[Dyas]

Texas and Ohio of Course. Cant forget Souther Miss. (I think?) at Alabama. Im not to sure of the schedule for Alabama this week. I know its somewhere in Mississippi.

[WTL]

Naw its at Bryant Denny, 6:30 PM. I will begin drinking around 6:30, Friday of course (g).

[Dyas]

I ment who we are playing is in Miss. I will begin grilling at Game time....................

[bassfisher02]

well there was a pro game last night, didnt watch it, thinmk it was raiders and patriots. i had my own game......we played ocooee, and due to too many penalties we lost.......we'll just have to make up for it next thursday. practice is gunna be a b*tch this week. i might go to the gator game saturday.....not sure. i know there playin louisiana tech.

[Sluggo Man]

Yeah the Patriots played last night, and the Raiders were no match for them.

They proved that even without Brushci, the defense can still handle both the run and pass.

[Dyas]

Bama game is tonight............. You can bet your @ss I will be watching it......... Its may be one of 2 things that I will miss fishing for.......... Unless your gay you know the other............... I dont really like Pro football........ Yeah our highschool team won there ifrst game in I think 3 or 4 seasons last year. We won our first game this year 36 to 14......... Dont know about the second game cause they played the day I got to NC and havent been back to school since cause of the storm.........

[Dyas]

Did yall see that catch Alabama WR #4 Tyrone Prothro made!! He caught it on the back of the Southern Miss defender at the 1 yard line! Just watch the highlight reel tonight and you will definatly see it. The catch of the year!!!!!!! What a catch............

[WTL]

Yea at first I didn't think he had, it, I was on the other end of the field. The refs first seemed to rule no catch - then touchdown, then it went to replay and they said it was a catch and down on the 1.

Thoughts:

ND might be pretty good. Mich played uninspired though.

Who won the texas game?

Sounds like UGa survived.

OU has no offensive line.

Neither do we.

K St should go to two churchs in the morning, they were that lucky.

Way to go Vandy, they beat the Hogs.

[Dyas]

Im not sure I think that Texas won. Brodie looked pretty good tonight. Accept for that one Interception he threw................ So did Keneth Darby...........

[Dyas]

D@mn Right after I clicked post LSU just threw a game winning TD with 1:13 left in the 4th quarter. Nice catch in double coverage.......................

[bassfisher02]

i didnt go to the game last night, and it was on pay per view so i didnt watch it, but i looked on gatorzone this morning and saw that the gators won 41-3.......louisiana tech was no match for us. another big turnout with 90,099 gator fanatics at the swamp. im lookin forward to next weeks tennessee game....

[Dyas]

Kick Tennesses @ss............... I wanna se em lose......... I dont wanna have to wait till we play em to se em lose so kick their @ss................

[shaft04092]

notre dame is ranked 10th in the nation now,wiess just might be the college coach of the year.i thought they may blow it saturday but played great.anyone notice boston colleges QB?he went to portland high school witch is in the town next to mine in maine.

[Dyas]

Alabama is now ranked 24th. They should get ranked with that win over Michigan............

[WTL]

Weiss appears to be doing an ok job, but don't forget Ty Willingham started out good too. Notre Dame right now I think is running on the excitement of a new coach, but sooner or later that sched may wear into them.

[bassfisher02]

as of now the gators are ranked #5 in the nation.....

[Dyas]

Until they get whooped..................
