COLLEGE FOOTBALL 2011

Garrett Gilbert leads starts for the Horns at QB, again. We'll see what happens Saturday night...Time to man-up.

Looked up prices for our alma mater to see a game this fall...$50 for a upper deck seat...NFW. and that was for a non-conference team...if it was for a big 10 game the price jumped. They suck too much to pay that kind of money.

 

[envirotex]

$70 for the Longhorns season opener against Rice.

Two more players who have been told countless times that they are untouchable are now in flourescent orange jumpsuits.

I'm glad. Jarrett Lee will finally be able to play.

The Northwestern opener at Boston College is going to be an interesting game. NU's QB Persa is a stud, but how well has he healed from last season's season-ending injury? Nobody seems to be quite sure how much (or if) he'll be playing on Saturday. The backup's a great running QB, but BC has a great running defense. Right now the line is -2.5 BC, which would be a pick-em at a neutral site. It should be a fun game

Yes, it was technically a "season-ending injury" although Persa only missed two regular season games.

And the bowl game.

He ruptured his achilles, which has a long recovery time. It seems he's still not quite 100%.

Here, you can follow Persa's achilles on Twitter:

Danny's Achilles

The B10 season is all that matters. Nobody cares about these newfangled bowl games. ld-025:

That link on Twitter cracks me up. I would not follow anybody on Twitter, much less a dude's tendon.

Season starts today

Louisville vs Murray State 6pm on the U

 

[roadwreck]

For some reason it just doesn't feel like football season yet.

 

[willsee]

Maybe because at kickoff it's going to be 98 degrees?

 

[Master slacker]

That's not normal? It sounds about right for our games.

 

[envirotex]

They moved our game from 6 to 7pm, so that it might be below 100 at kick-off.

I'm going. Got an extra ticket available, if you're in the area.

 

[willsee]

I have season tickets but I won't be at this one since it's my wife's last day of work tomorrow she can't miss. Thanks though

Then she starts at Murray State University next Tuesday.

 

[chaosiscash]

wife's last day of work tomorrow she can't miss.

I would argue that is the best day to miss.

 

[Ble_PE]

it's my wife's last day of work tomorrow she can't miss.

What are they going to do, fire her?

 

[willsee]

She feels it is her duty to be there

I told her she needs to be at the football game since it's her future employer

Here is ESPN's preview for the weekend...

Goodnight offseason, hello football!

I like the cupcake of the week section...

So don't get too excited if new quarterback Barrett Trotter looks like Cam Newton on Saturday, Tigers fans. He's not. He's just a guy playing Utah State.

Classic.
