Since we had a pretty good sportsball thread on the Pergo forums... How is your team looking in pre-season? For me: Cardinals good, Niners shit. And recent U of A alums are ranked pretty well for 2014.
TECHNICALLY, Wednesday is the first game, and I know yall are as excited for Abilene Christian vs. Georgia State as I am but real talk? That Texas A&M @ SCAR game. Oh man. Hatin' Ass Spurrier about to do WORK on Kevin DAMN Sumlin
Arizona plays UNLV, Texas-SA and Nevada before we get to play big boy teams. Used to be that Pac-10 teams only played one Mountain-West team or some poor D-2 school at the beginning of the season before D1 and conference play. Now every PAC-12 team plays two to three self esteem boosters a season, meaning that W/L ratios really don't mean shit in the PAC anymore. I like winning though, so I don't really care.
I graduated from UT. My Horns are a mixed bag this year. We still don't have a solid QB, just like my Texans, but we're all buying in this year for the new coaching staff. We're still using the terrible recruits ole Mack Brown shat out in his later senile years, so we're not sure what to expect. I watched the Spring Practice game and it looked a bit sloppy, so I'm only expected 9 or 10 wins this year. Don't be all up in arms about SCar and aTm. The Ags have and always will be an over-rated mid tier team. Spurrier should have no problems. Stoked about the Playoffs this year.
Thats why I'm excited, I'm still bitter about Johnny Football showing out two years ago in Tuscaloosa. Be nice to see them systematically dismantled.
They will be, I direct you to a thread on another forums I surf religiously: http://www.shaggybevo.com/board/showthread.php/94931-Tell-me-about-Texas-A-amp-M You'll find aTm is pretty much the laughing stock of our state. They're like the Juggalos of college. They all get along great with their delusional selves but the rest of the sane world can't get their head around why there are so many people who dedicate so much of their life to something so stupid. As an added bonus you can find some good Ole Miss Grove creeper shots from when we played y'all a couple years ago. I think the general consensus was it was a good time.
Probably the only time you'll be able to the word "juggalo" and "college" in the same sentence, ever.
Kinda bummed about this news: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000384185/article/josh-gordon-appeal-denied-suspended-one-season Guy did some serious work for one of my fantasy teams last year (despite his two-game suspension, but I also had Megatron on this roster, so I wasn't that upset) and I was hoping to snaggle him again.
I have no doubt that every part of that story was true except for the part about the seven year old being in the pool he was jumping into. Also, I will relish every opportunity to point and laugh at USC for any reason.
It's great to have college football back on my TV. Spurrier looks drunker than usual, and fucking has no D. It's embarrassing, aTm is supposed to be scrubs this year and they're making them look really good.
Speaking of scrub teams, as bad as Georgia State and Abilene Christian are supposed to be they put on a hell of a show last night.
You ready for Boise State? My TV remote is doing overtime between the aTm-SC game and my Texans preseason game, and periodic spying on the Cowboys game.
