Re: Week One Discussion

Going to Arizona-BYU so I'll have to record about 4 different games and watch them all Sunday. Never remember so many good games in Week 1.

If you encounter any BYU fans ask them how the rivalry with Utah is going lately

There is a lot of great games. LSU-Wisconsin, Bama-USC, Georgia-UNC, Oklahoma-Houston, just to name a few.

My understanding is that BYU fans will be outnumbering Arizona fans at that game.

I know Phoenix has a large LDS following, still funny though

Re: Week One Discussion

Saw today that Barnett and Bateman will both play against USC. It's worked okay the last two seasons, hopefully one of them takes charge.

Re: Week One Discussion

Apparently it's been 682 days since The University of Texas scored a point against the Iowa State Cyclones.

Re: Week One Discussion

A really good looking Week 1.

Appalachian St for the upset!

Re: Week One Discussion

Pitt gets Villanova week one. Can't wait to see Conner back on the field.

Re: Week One Discussion

So glad to have college football back!

Looks like we have a few games this week that could have the potential to be spectacular. Going to try to watch as many games as possible, usually only keep my eyes on one or two games at a time. Hoping for some good games and maybe an upset or two!
