Anyone else excited for COLLEGE FOOTBALL?

Lifelong FSU fan, alumni, and supporter... I love this time of year. Booking hotel rooms in Tallahassee, organizing tailgates and trips out of town, and another season of trash talking with my friends. I don't think we'll be as dominant as we've been the past few years -we've put a lot of people int...

Re: Walter Payton - The greatest of all time

Agreed 1000%. Payton was the only offensive weapon for years, and STILL was a team player to the end. Anyone like that today would be mouthing off to the press, calling out his teammates, begging to be traded, etc I really wish they'd have given him the touchdown that William Perry took in during th...

Re: Why Can't Colleges Succeed At Both?

Money and tradition. It's expensive to recruit, train, coach, and produce talent. I guess the alumni at Duke just don't watch much football and prefer maintaining supremacy at basketball without bothering to pony up to develop the football team. Speaking as a totally biased FSU guy, we've been histo...

Re: Most scrutinized sports team in North America?

I agree with the Cowboys. Only other team that I could add would be Florida State in NCAA football. FSU was really only a target the last 2 years because they've been so good and ESPN hates them. Whoever is on top attracts that kind of attention. When FSU starts losing games again no one will care ...

Re: Why does sucker...err soccer SUCK so bad?

I love watching soccer... Played in a competitive league until I was about 35, and generally enjoy it. I hate the dives and wimpy behavior, but that's mostly in Mexican league and South American leagues (which shows itself in World Cup competition far too often). Premiere League and MLS are much bet...

Re: Ever been at a momentous sporting moment?

I was there for the Choke at Doak, when the University of Florida had a 31-3 lead over FSU in the 4th quarter. FSU came back and the game ended 31-31. (And then FSU beat UF in a rematch at the Sugar Bowl - The 5th Quarter in the French Quarter - to finish the season) I was also at the very last game...

Re: Minor League Ball

St Lucie Mets. Love seeing the minor league teams. Always a blast and the St Lucie Mets are usually pretty decent.

Of course, I'm a Cubs fan for MLB and reserve the right to sell out on the Mets whenever a Cubs farm team comes to town...

Re: Any Love For The College Game?

Oh well... Not what I thought, but close the books on another fun year. Guess I was wrong about Ohio St. But I'm still an unrepentant FSU fan and am looking forward to a lot of good years out of this squad. (provided we get rid of our DC...) Still renewed my season tickets and still proudly sport th...

Re: Any Love For The College Game?

Guess I gotta check in here and take my medicine... My Noles got whooped. Oh well, it's been a hell of a run and we have a lot of young talent to replace the ones that we lose this year. And not that it matters much... but FSU left the field because ESPN briefed the teams that the loser needs to exi...

Re: Any Love For The College Game?

The only reason that they aren't a consensus number 1 is because they were so dominant last season. ESPN hates any team that isn't SEC. And everyone hates FSU right now. As for me, I don't care as long as FSU keeps winning... (and when they start losing again I'll still be there...) But to see them ...

Anyone who doesn't have FSU as number one is just... Wrong. 26 game win streak, defending national champions, still undefeated, 4 ranked teams beaten this season, double digit come-from-behind road victories... The only thing they're not doing is beating everyone by 40 points, because they already d...

Re: Any Love For The College Game?

Todays recap so far @ 10pm CST...just the AP TOp 10 #2 Florida State is off this week, but have no real competition left, so they should easily win out and win the ACC title. FSU still faces a pretty tough Louisville team, and two rivalry games against Miami and Florida. They SHOULD win big against...

FSU grad here and huge fan since the 80s... I love college football! It's pretty much the only reason I even turn the tv on. Thank you very much for beating the Irish last night.

Going old school... Jack Brickhouse - "Hey Hey!" and "Wheeeee!"

Listened to him narrate a LOT of Cub losses when I was a kid... As far as I'm concerned, he'll always be the voice behind Chicago sports.

Re: NCAA Football...why dont we have a thread for it?

this is the same FSU that only managed to hang 30 points on a woefully underpowered and broke-down Florida today... It's only UF's offense that completely blows... They were still one of the best defenses in the SEC, and they were pulling out all of the stops today because they had nothing to lose....
