First time in five years I don't have season tickets

I'll get to go to the season opener though

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

I can't wait to see Tebow play...

 

[envirotex]

Seriously, who voted for Texas A&M?

 

[Supe]

My Bucks will be on that list by season's end!

 

[Master slacker]

Where's Penn St.?

Oooooooooooh... too soon?

 

[engineergurl]

yeah... too soon

 

[DVINNY]

I do have a ban button around here somewhere....

leave that stuff for the Penn State thread, which I haven't even went into, because I probably would start hitting buttons.

 

[Master slacker]

... I'll shut up now.

 

[DVINNY]

no no, don't shut up, don't you have an SEC team to brag about or something?

:wv:

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

Oh great, another season of week after week of Powerhouse U. vs. Cupcake Tech capped off by the eatabagofdicks.com bowl. Count me in.

 

[Master slacker]

I don't really care for college ball any more. More so now than ever, it's just a hype-fest of $$$ and a stepping stone for kids to tip toe through two years of cupcake classes before making millions. LSU may be #1 and net millions per game in ticket sales and concessions plus whatever TV coverage pays, but cut funding to math and science departments on campus.

 

[DVINNY]

In all fairness to that, if someone REALLY wants to go to the best math and science school, then go to MIT, or somewhere similar.

I think that the allure of the football team, other sports teams, and ability to be part of that, is why many students pick those schools, so its a catch 22.

 

[Master slacker]

Welllllllll.... yes and no. Linky 1 and Linky 2

Year….. Games….. Attendance….. Average….. NCAA Rank ….. Record….…..…... Bowl Game….. Final Ranking

1996…..….. 7…..….. 556,631…..….. 79,519…..….…... 8 …..……..... 10-2 (6-2) ….. Peach Bowl…..…..…... 12

1997…..….. 7…..….. 561,629…..….. 80,233…..….…... 9 …..….….... 9-3 (6-2) …... Independence Bowl…... 13

1998…..….. 6…..….. 481,739…..….. 80,290…..….…... 10 ……...….. 4-7 (2-6)

1999…..….. 7…..….. 551,780…..….. 78,826…..….…... 11 ….…...….. 3-8 (1-7)

2000…..….. 7…..….. 614,704…..….. 87,815…..…….... 5 …..…...….. 8-4 (5-3) …..….. Peach Bowl….…..…. 22

2001…..….. 7…..….. 633,440…..….. 90,491…..…….... 5 ….…....….. 10-3 (6-3) …..….. Sugar Bowl…..…..…. 7

2002…..….. 7…..….. 632,147…..….. 90,307…..….…... 5…. …..…….. 8-5 (5-3) …..….. Cotton Bowl

Even in years the team has sucked, the stadium was pretty packed. This is LSU, where football is king. And in all fairness, those who want to learn math and science (and don't care about "the best") shouldn't have to rely on MIT or similar schools. My $0.02.

 

[envirotex]

no no, don't shut up, don't you have an SEC team to brag about or something?

:wv:

Can't wait for 10-6, DV...

 

[FLBuff PE]

Well, CU lost 28 seniors from a team that went 3-10, we have no idea who our QB is, and our top reciever is out with a blown ACL that he suffered in spring ball. Hooray, college football?

 

[DVINNY]

no no, don't shut up, don't you have an SEC team to brag about or something?

:wv:

Can't wait for 10-6, DV...

....DV goes to look up schedule........

 

[DVINNY]

Can't wait for 10-6, DV...

OH yeah ! It's on like da donkey kong

 

[DVINNY]

I have excitement for the Mountaineers this year, because being in the new conference, we get to play a bunch of new teams, Texas, Oklahoma, OK State, Baylor, etc.

all of :wv: is very excited about our new opponents. Good stuff.

On the Penn State side, I guess all I have to hope for over the next 4 years, (and probably 20 after that) is to knock off some big teams and ruin their seasons. Watch out Michigan, Wisconsin, & Mich State

(and no Master Slacker, I am not changing my smiley to the Wanker dude holding the PSU banner)
