There are some intriguing matchups that first weekend, and there is MUCH to talk about prior to the first kickoff!! It's Summer. It's already damn hot. It's the time of year when college football fans start thinkin' 'bout FOOTBALL!!! And, it's time to be dissin' on your team's biggest rivals, so let's get the trash talkin' started!! And yes - for anyone who's interested, I'm gonna have another game this year. Intriguing opening-weekend games: Saturday, August 30 TBA Hawaii at Florida - Will Hawaii fare better vs. the SEC this go-round? Is it 'Tebow time'? TBA Georgia Southern at Georgia - The former is a I-AA power; interesting in-state game, this. TBA Utah at Michigan - Remember LAST year? Utah's not a team to be overlooked. TBA Oklahoma State at Washington State - Good 'non-cupcake' opening game for both teams. TBA Washington at Oregon - Opening the season against a Pac-10 rival AT Autzen - ugh. 3:30 PM USC at Virginia - Nat'l Champions this year? We'll see what USC's got in this opening game. 5:00 PM Appalachian State at LSU - Heh-heh, remember LAST year? 6:00 PM Delaware at Maryland - Delaware's a I-AA power; potential upset, here. 8:00 PM Michigan State at California - Another good opening game between big-conference teams. 8:00 PM Alabama at Clemson - Hoooo-boy!! This has the potential of being a GREAT game! 8:30 PM Illinois at Missouri - This game's certainly on the radar this year! Sunday, August 31 3:30 PM Kentucky at Louisville - This in-state rivalry is ALWAYS intriguing. 7:30 PM Colorado State at Colorado - Ditto, ditto... complete with riots, on occasion. Seriously. Monday, September 1 4:00 PM Fresno State at Rutgers - Let's see what Rutgers has in '08 vs. this once-dangerous team. 8:00 PM Tennessee at UCLA - Another risky opening game for the Vols, against Slick Rick this time. Bring it AWN, I say! Last Edited By: Atypical Male 01/23/09 12:11 PM. Edited 36 times.

It is lose lose for LSU to play that kind of opponent. If we win, well, we were supposed to win, and if we lose, HAHAH we just lost to a AA team. Oh well. We won the big one last year. As long as we stay in the hunt, that makes me a happy college football fan.

And, given that aforementioned NHL thread, one could say that this thread's possibly late in getting started. I was chompin' at the bit a month ago, thinking about the upcoming season. It's an affliction of sorts that numerous folks happen to have, particularly if they reside in the Southeast!! Marissa, that's a very tough opening game for both teams - it's surely one of the Top 3 games of the opening weekend. You're a lucky gal, getting to be in attendance! S-bug, you've gotta know that The Hat is NOT overlooking App. St. They're now the 3-time consecutive I-AA champion, and they still have their phenom QB Edwards. Meanwhile, you know of the personnel losses LSU's taken (more on that later). This is potentially a monumentally dangerous game. Husker! BO time is HERE!

I'm surprised that it wasn't Bart with that first reply of his. I'm expecting another four or five win season this year for us, but heck if the Pac-10 will produce a national champion. Just when you think Cal can't possibly get worse, they lose more players to the NFL and injury, not to mention that their quarterback is coming back this season (lol). USC has really no returning stars this year, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with them, although I don't expect them to run the table like they were expected to last year (lol, Stanford), especially with Brooks coming back at full health for Oregon. The real stories out West, though, will be UCLA and WSU. How they fare with their new coaches will determine much of the mood for SoCal and the PNW. If UCLA can't beat BYU and one of the Oregon schools, much less USC, I have the feeling that their fans will feel like they're right back at the same place they were last year. If WSU can muster a season with more than two wins, it'll be a good season for them, but that'll be hard to come by in the Pac-10, even with schools such as Stanford and Arizona. Then again, if Arizona can't make it to a bowl this year, may as well say adios to Mike Stoops as one of the biggest flops in the Pac-10.
