    That's funny. Seriously, I think the CFL comes under FBO. But I could be wrong.

    We've gotten to the point you can get every D1-A game on TV, right?

    FBO (other), also used for arena football. Canadian Press may do it differently. Of course, they may do wire slugs using extra vowels like they do in humor and color and whatnot. (And have you seen what they do to program?) Nice people, but can't spell for shit. :D

    Nah, that's the slug AP uses for the Sooners. ;D

    (What? You thought I would mention the Bobcats?)

    The coach under the greatest amount of pressure is Louisville's Steve Kragthorpe. Lose to Kentucky this year and who knows how bad it'll get for him.

    Good news is Trent Guy is recovering well from his gunshot wound last month. Bad news is they just lost probably their most experienced linebacker for the season.

    It's hard to imagine Louisville's defense being worse than it was last year. The only question is how much better can/will it be.

    Thoughts about a few things addressed already for the Thursday/Friday games. Rutgers is getting as much attention as it deserves. They are favored by 5 over Fresno State at home. But Fresno State is ranked 25 and is a trendy pick to do stuff this year. So obviously, Rutgers is getting some respect, being the favorite. Army / Temple may be horrible, but it's only because of Army. Temple is legit. They could win the MAC. They are returning every single starter (I know, crummy starters are still crummy, but this is not a bad team). They were a solid defense last year and had a three-game winning streak (unheard of for Temple) before they lost their QB for the year. Army is going back to the option this year. I think they finally realized that there is a reason Navy has had some success with undersized players. Army will be running the option with a QB who is not an option QB, though, and this is a tough defensive to do a trial run of the wishbone against. Thing that makes this game somewhat interesting is that Temple was one of the teams Army managed to beat last year. It was an interesting game in a lot of ways. Temple had 5 turnovers, 11 penalties and gave up a kickoff return. They outplayed Army by a lot, Army typically had very little offense, but Army won the game 37-21. It was actually the kind of game that if I am looking for a program throwing games for the fellows in Vegas, this is where I start to poke around.

    Many championships have been won before a player takes the field for the first time.
