2017 College Football Thread [W:49]

You are more than welcome to discuss college football with us. :)

Here's that article that has Coach Davies discussing being a power 5 conference program.


Good read.

He's done such an amazing job with the football program. I just wish New Mexico could catch the NCAA football fever the way they have it in the South. Pack the stadium. Get some solid SOLID season ticket holders and boosters. It'd be such a whirlwind of fun that they have no idea about yet.
 
Who to pull for...

OSU for sure
****ing Michigan is going to make me pull for goddamn florida uuuugghhh
T A&M vs UCLA Could give a **** less
WVA vs VT... Go Mountaineers! Head coach is a former Valdosta State coach so... his my guy there.

I knew we'd find somewhere we didn't get along.

GO BLUE.

I did, but the angle I chose was not allowed

My interest in college football is about 1/100th of what it used to be before politics invaded the sport

But the season has not even started yet

so maybe I can comment on the actual play on the field when there is play to comment on

Buh bye.
 
My niece went to Valdosta!

No way!

My dad taught there after he got his doctorate from OSU (which of course is why I'm anti blue). I kinda grew up on campus. Was there before they even had a football team. As a little tot I got to be the basketball team ballboy chasing missed practice shots and wiping sweat up off the floor. Had a jersey and all. Then when they got a football team I got to be the ballboy there too and run the footballs out to the refs between plays. My hearts with the blazers. If they ever go Division IA (as they should already be), UGA and OSU will drop a peg in my eyes.

That's pretty cool. I went to a DIII school with a middling football program that found a little success after I graduated. They even produced a guy who got a cup of coffee in the NFL.

VSU has some players in the NFL. The most notable success was LB Jesse Tuggle back in the day. But VSU is cranking out the coaches. It's pretty nuts.

Among them are the head coaches for:

Washington State
West Virginia
South Carolina
Georgia

All used to be assistant coaches at VSU at one time.

They really should be FBS division IA by now. VSU has a vision-less athletic director who has stated he has no ambition to move up because "I like winning". Great lesson to teach the kids there. Find a small pond you can be a big fish in and stop aspiring! He's been there a LOOOoooonnng time so I'm hoping he retires soon. Meanwhile a couple of VSU rivals are now in the FBS Sunbelt conference in Georgia Southern and Troy.
 
Being a west coast guy I think the Mountain West is an under-rated conference. It's more than just the Broncos.

The Mountain Time Zone is certainly my favorite, very underrated. It was a downer to pass back into Central time 180 miles ago. Wife loves the Paul McCartney concert currently playing on the Beatles channel 18 on XMS .
 
Colorado State has a 2nd year head coach in Bobo who was UGA's old QB and more recently offensive coach/play caller. I think he'll do well there. San Diego St. Seems to be up and coming as well. And Wyoming... they are hot one year cold the next. Kind of weird.

The top 5 power conferences should get an AQ. The best of the non power should get one, along with 2 more AL from the power five. Then seed them 1 through 8. My turn to drive .
 
I'm looking forward to see how Penn State does after their surprisingly stellar season last year. They should be even better this year, but we will see. Go Lions!

I'm glad to see they didn't get killed by NCAA punishment. Good to see them back in stride.
 
Where the heck are the Buffalo Bulls?

I put a month's wages on them finishing in the top 4.

I feel this is their year.


;)

Yeah same here. They never even had a losing season after the NCAA sanctions. Bill O'Brien did a great job steering them in the right direction immediately after the sanctions, and now James Franklin is doing an awesome job recruiting.

SMU still hasn't recovered from their NCAA death penalty put in place for only three years starting 1985.

That's SMU though. They're not exactly a big school. Hard to attract talent at SMU when you're competing with all of the other big schools around you.

True but they had some seriously gangbuster years before they got busted cheating of course.
 
This season is starting with a HHHHUUUUUUGGGGE bang.

Opening game for both. September 2nd:

#1 Alabama vs #3 FSU
Neutral field in Atlanta.

OH
My
GAAAAWWWWWD!

Let's get it started!! Alabama can lose the FSU game and one other and still be in the NCAA/$EC final four .
 
Which will still finish way ahead of UofA.

Vegas is great for college football with the late games, though the NFL is estimated to get 70% of all betting among sports.

Just trying to imagine the pressure on rooms there once the Raiders come to town, especially for home games .

In Iowa, they might say they cheer for the Hawkeyes and whoever's playing the Cyclones, though I've amended Iowa St. to the Crimson Tide .
