College Football Week 1: These Wolverines Lack Healing Factor

To run a geographic parallel, Gillette'll look like the Yale Bowl for any game other than Harvard or Princeton.

 

We are one week away from Southeastern Conference football. Holy fuck.

 

Either Derek Dooley doesn't care about being fired or Da'Rick Rogers did something murdered someone in violation of team rules. The Tennessee wide receiver was suspended for the season today.

We're now two days from college football.

 

I'll be rooting for Michigan, if only to "open up the board" for an interesting cfb season. Also be rooting for Wazzu.
You know you are a college football fan when you already are trying to figure a way a Big East-MAC game will impact your Pac-12 team's path to the BCS.

 

And he is now at Tenn. Tech.

 

Coached by Watson Brown.

 

God, Saturday is going to be fucking ridiculous. Notre Dame vs. Navy at 9 a.m. EST. Games all goddamn day. A handful of late games, including Leach. I'm going to be a drunken, gambling fool on Saturday.

I need the lines, people. C'mon, Chef. You're slippin.

 

Kind of nice, actually. My game is 2 1/2 hours away so I can actually watch the entirety of the Irish-Middie matchup before heading south.

 

Fuck. Me. First Murray State, now TTU. Chances of Jacko winning another shared OVC title and buying the team rings despite losing to both teams whom you tied with: 100 %

 

EKU is the best team in that league anyway.

 

One thing I absolutely suck at is picking the right big-time underdogs on opening weekend. Who y'all got?

Bowling Green getting 29 against a Florida team that will alternate QBs in the first half?
North Texas getting 43 against LSU because.....well...43?
Tulane getting 20.5 at home against Rutgers?
UTEP getting 31 at home against an Oklahoma team with no receivers?

Other than that, Vandy is a 6.5 dog at home on Thursday. Tempting.
