All right football maniacs, a new season starts Thursday. Other than posturing for your favorite team, especially those fortunate enough to root for a loaded team, predict the opening weekend. Will there be any big upsets, such as the Mich loss last year. My beloved Cornhuskers for example are at risk. Iowa state could well lose to Dakota. etc.

Oklahoma State has a road game at Washington St. this Saturday. If they win that one, it will set them up for a solid season. If they lose the opener, however, they won't anymore room for error if they want to make it to a bowl game. The Big 12 is nasty as usual, and the Pokes need to win all their non-conference games for sure.

I'm very excited though to say the least. I'm looking forward to watching Clemson/Alabama as well.

Given the transition that Michigan has been going through, I think that Michigan will have a tough time with Utah...and since there is no base line for the new offense I can't predict the game. One interesting game this weekend, I think will be Michigan State at Cal. I think the Spartoons just may upset the Golden Bears of Berkley.

Three games I only care to watch:

OSU and Youngstown State if only to see Terrell Pryor in his first collegiate action.

UM and Utah because I want to see what RRodriguez brings to the table.

MSU and Cal. This is an early barometer for how good MSU may or may not be.

I predict UM (much better D) and Cal win close contests. OSU, not so close..

I havent looked at the lineup all that much yet... but Missouri could be upset by Illinois. Also, alot of people are prediction Miami (OH) to be pretty good this year (for a MAC team) and they have a first week matchup with Vandy... that could be a good win for them. I am also looking forward to Clemson rolling Bama.

Well to Oklahoma State's advantage, Gundy is now 41 years old, which makes him that much more of a man.

Y'know, so he can handle it.

I'll take Clemson at home, but I bet it's a good one.

Also, Illinois beating Mizzou wouldn't be a huge upset to me. Sure, the Tigers are ranked a little higher but not by much. The Illini are starting to build a solid program.

Clemson is the home team, but it's a neutral site (Georgia Dome.)

Take Clemson because Tommy Bowden always starts strong and falls apart after the 5th or 6th game.

Thanks for letting me know that. I didn't know it was neutral, and that changes things a bit. Like you said though, Clemson always starts well before collapsing down the stretch. Plus, I always favor a good running game early in the season, and Clemson has one of the best in the nation with Davis and Spiller.

Baylor > Wake Forest. Also, Mizzou losing wouldn't be that big, they don't deserve their ranking. Tennessee at UCLA is going to be a great game monday night.

Playing the Univeristy of Georgia in the Georgia Dome is HARDLY a neutral site.

They're not playing UGA, they're playing Bama.

Playing the Univeristy of Georgia in the Georgia Dome is HARDLY a neutral site.

To that point, we play the Cocktail Party every year in Jacksonville. It's still a neutral site.

If your fans travel well, it doesn't matter what the proximity is; 50/50 ticket splits should be neutral sites. Hell, for the SEC championship in 2005, LSU had about 40% of the Dome. It would've been a neutral site if they hadn't left early after Shockley hung 34 on them.

There are only two (regular season) games I want see, which will determine how successful coach Tressel and the Bucks will be this year:

The Ohio State University vs. USC

The Ohio State University vs. North Virginia (Meeechigan)

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!

      I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championships at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.

      I won the net division of the match play tournament. Yesterday was the semifinals and my opponent conceded the round to me on the 2nd hole because he knew he would be unavailable for the final today. I got lucky there and got a bye into the finals. We did end up playing our match as an exhibition and I would have lost. It was the worst round of the tournament for me and I think knowing that the match didn't matter might have been a factor. I'll write up a blog post about the whole experience at some point. Today I won, 3&1. My opponent and I halved the first three holes much to his credit. I was striping it and he just kept scrambling and hanging in there. We both blew up on the par 3 4th hole but I ended up taking that one by holing an 8-footer for double bogey. I went up 2 after he put two in the penalty area on #5 and promptly gave that hole back by putting my tee shot into the penalty area on #6 by a foot. It's important to note that most of the penalty areas on this course are deemed environmentally sensitive areas and we are not allowed to enter or play shots out of them. So even though I physically was able to play a shot from where I was on #6, I could not, by rule. I followed that by winning #7, making a 25' birdie putt and finished the front 9 3 up after he had some bunker trouble on #9. I went up 4 by winning #11 (we both sucked on that hole but he missed the putt to halve). On #12 we both hit the green with our tee shots. He hit his first putt past the hole and I lagged mine inside of 4' with an uphill putt for par. His putt for par was too long again, just inside of mine but definitely outside of gimme range. I gave him that one for bogey. I felt at the time, being 4 up, that I didn't want to win the hole because he ends up missing a 3-footer and fourputted or something. I wanted to win the hole by making my par putt. I did not. He probably would have made the putt anyway (he's not me after all, and he made everything in that range all day) but it seemed like the sporting thing to do at the time. He was genuinely surprised I gave it to him, butI felt good about it. Then it almost bit me in the ass as he started to mount a comeback. We halved #13 after he made a great up & down and he took #14 with a long par putt. He also won #15 with a 5' birdie putt. We halved #16 with a pair of bogeys after he put his tee shot in the water and I missed a 4-footer for the win. We got to #17 and I was still 2 up. He hit his tee shot just off the back of the green to an extended apron area short of the back bunker and I put mine on the green pin high but 30' away. He was actually closer so I played first and hit it within a foot for par. He didn't hole out for birdie which sealed the match and ended up making bogey on the hole. With the pressure off, we both played the par 5 #18 well. He played it as a three shot hole like a normal person and hit it to 8' and two-putted for par. I striped my drive and ended up with a downhill lie to an uphill approach like 180 yards out and gave myself the green light to go for it in two. Thin hooked it into thick rough to the left of the green with a bunker in between and hit a high flop to 4', probably my best shot of the day. Made the birdie putt.
