2. What happens if the Irish and Aggies face each other...
...in a playoff or something? I assume you're for the Texas team...one nice thing about being from New England--college football is never quite as intense for you as it is for the rest of the country...we're never gonna be in any running for any national titles...

3. I don't know.
I have a lot of teams I like. But the Irish have been by favorite for so long. i would have to say them, but I love the Aggies too. I really don't know for sure. If Fran does not get the Aggies any better this year, I will not have to worry about it.

Dodgers had a Maurice once. He stole 104 bases in '62. And he went by Maury.

27. Does baseball still exist?
I haven't watched a single at bat this year.

There's a thread in the Sports forum with a Detroit Tiger magic number countdown, so I assume they are doing well. Otherwise, I'd hate to have my life depend on a quiz on which teams are above .500 and which aren't. So marvelously relaxing when that so-called sport has been trashed and emptied

9. Already?
Didn't we just do this last year?

Yesterday when I was on my way to work I saw a truck with a Raiders flag (guy's gotta be either stupid or arrogant or both to fly that thing 'round here) AND a USC flag mounted in the back.

I could've cried.

I'm not ready.

28. Absolutely
Edited on Thu Aug-31-06 04:41 AM by Awsi Dooger
College football is defining. The state or region has superior home grown talent. Your coaching staff embraced an ingenius style, offensively and defensively. The institution put just the correct amount of emphasis on athletics and look at the residue. Hell, anyone who attended the school is suddenly a genius.

That's when you win in college football. Victory in the NFL is mostly survival within the salary cap, or benefit via slanted officiating. That's all I remember from the last Super Bowl.

24. Hokie Mountaineers!
I'm always pulling for my boys at Virginia Tech, but this year I'm pulling double duty. A really good pal of mine is a West Virginia Mountaineer, and this year, WVU is ranked in the top ten in the preseason polls.

Even better, my guys don't have to play his guys in the regular season. I told my pal that I'll be a fan all the way up to the BCS Championship, when my Hokies will play his Mountaineers.

Ragtime in Rosslyn, VA, will be showing all WVU games this season, should others wish to hop on the bandwagon. I'll be the guy in the VT hat.

They play Rhode Island tonight! :bounce:

While I HATE UConn men's basketball, i root for the football team. I know a few people on the team and I like how they're an up-and-coming program.

Coach Edsall has done a great job in recruiting in-state talent.


Come on Huskies! :bounce:
