Re: Anyone else excited for college football this weekend? If so who\'s your team?
Can anyone guess who I am for in this game? War Eagle!!
Copied from Yahoo Sports writer, Craig James
USC at Auburn 6 p.m. ET (CBS)
Auburn fans are hoping for lots of heat and humidity! We can talk about the X's and O's of this game, but one of the toughest challenges for the Trojans will be the temperature. The game starts at 5 p.m. Central, which means the teams will start "warming up" around 4:00. The hottest part of the day is right around then.
As for the strategy, both teams have good lines and plenty of skill players. USC will have a defensive game plan designed to stuff the tough Auburn ground game. Can Auburn throw the ball? They'll be invited to do just that. For USC, can they handle the pressure of the Auburn defense led by their linebackers? No doubt that the heat will be on the Trojans from all angles.
Pick: War Eagle! Tigers, 17-14

Unfortunatley, the way the BCS works - a team pretty much HAS to win every one of their games and then do backflips naked through hoops while balancing coins on their noses .... in order to win the National Championship.

Yeah, I'm really excited. I've got my season tickets for the CU Buffs all ready to go. They've got an amazing home schedule this year, they've got UCLA, Washington State, Oklahoma and Nebraska all coming to Boulder (as well as CSU in Denver).
Speaking of the ESPN zone, a couple of years ago I was in Vegas over new years and two friends and I went to the ESPN zone to try to watch CU in the fiesta bowl, but the place was absolutely packed and there was a huge line. For some reason when we finally got up there to put our name on the list the lady said that there was an opening in the VIP room (right next to the big screens) and we could have it, but we had to promise to buy $40 of drinks an hour to hold our table. Anyway, they sat us down right up front and at the tables on either side of us were Todd Helton and Larry Walker. They were both really cool (Helton was there to watch Tennessee's bowl game, he was QB there before payton manning). Finally about 6 hours, 40 beers, and way to much money later we staggered out of there back to our rooms. Good times......

My cousin was a TE on those three teams (he red-shirted in '87, but still has the ring).

The 1991 championship belonged to the University of Washington.
Washington was crowned champ by the USA Today/CNN, the National Football Foundation, the Football Writers Assn., the UPI poll, the Sporting News, and the Coaches' Poll. Washington beat #6 Michigan (w/ Heisman winner Desmond Howard & QB Elvis Grbac) 34-14 in the Rose Bowl. Miami only got 1st place in the AP poll and beat #11 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
Gotta show some pride for my dawgs!
