While my heart is heavy for what is happening in Texas and now Louisiana, I decided we can still talk about football while keeping them in our thoughts and prayers.
LSU was supposed to play against BYU in Houston on Saturday so ESPN and NRG Stadium (where the game was to be played) have moved the game to the Superdome in NOLA.
We have a new head coach, new assistant coaches and lost some vital players to the NFL. Looking forward to seeing the new team.
In case you missed it, we have a new Mike the Tiger and he is adorable.
Who does your team play?

Well, I'm an LSU Tiger as well. So, ditto on your recap of where we stand. We're also slated to lose a significant number to the NFL again this year. And our Tiger is the cutest thing EVAH!!

I'll echo elaine's GO BUCKEYES!!!!! OTOH, DH is a Florida Gator, and they have 8 good players suspended for their opener with "that team up north" (AKA Michigan). So, we'll be rooting for Florida in that game of course, but it could end up being really ugly...

We walked all over the campus and the Horseshoe. My advisor is still there, so we also were able to visit her in her office. My boys loved it. We had Graeter's ice cream for lunch one day. I so miss it! Here we are at the new student union:

We have a new Defensive coach. He is changing our defense completely.
New QB!
Other changes in personnel. We really are in a rebuilding season. It will take at least a season to get changes in place. We will probably lose 4-5 games. We should win our opener this Saturday.
Nevertheless, I will be rooting for my Huskers!
Go Big Red!

Washington State (Go Cougs!) plays Montana State Saturday night at 10:30pm Eastern. Ugh... so late! Sometimes being a fan of a west coast team while living on the east coast really stinks. Anyway, I hope we thump Montana State and stay ranked! I also hope I stay awake long enough to watch the game.

Notre Dame vs Temple at home on Saturday. I can't wait. Hopefully the changes that Kelly has made will give us a few more wins this year! Last year sucked! lol!
Let's go Irish!

Anyway, I hope we thump Montana State and stay ranked! I also hope I stay awake long enough to watch the game. I always feel bad for people on the east coast when it comes to sports! By the time the LSU games are over, it's usually only 8 or 9 here so I have plenty of time to calm down and get my blood pressure in check before going to bed.

Okay. Here is an important question: what are y'all serving for opening weekend game food?
I'm making my oven baked crispy Buffalo wings for dinner tomorrow night and will pick up something extra-good for snacking on while the game is being played.

elaine I'm making buffalo chicken dip (for tortilla chips), spinach dip (for crusty bread), and something sweet. I haven't decided if I'm making cookies, brownies, or something else.

<<<gator alum. Mom to a tiger and a Seminole. Life gets spicy from now until December. lol Girl, what isn't going on with your Gators??? Florida State v Alabama. Biggest opening day game ever. Florida State is ready to roll! We will be watching the game from Stuttgart, Germany probably kicking ourselves that we arent at the game. We had 4 tickets that we ended up selling to friends. Hate, hate missing it but couldn't justify the trip right now.

Georgia Bulldog fan here. We play App State, and while it may not be the biggest game of our season, it is finally time for football! We have a long list of games we will be watching Saturday. When he woke up at 4:00 a.m. this morning, DH nudged me awake and said, "college football starts tonight." I wasn't upset in the least We plan on pizza Saturday night. No cooking, no dishes...just time to sit back and enjoy the happiest time of the year. elaine, you look great in your family photo!

Here's hoping I continue to be diligent enough on non-football days to keep it off.

Tonight we will head to Stillwater, where my OSU Cowboys will host my hometown team, Tulsa. Although I'll be cheering for TU for the remainder of the season, tonight is all Go Pokes!

Welll, I now live in a "house divided", so this season will be interesting! We also only have satellite run to one television....maybe not the best choice to save money during football season. I work until 6 Saturday, and DH is off from work so I have big plans of him firing up the grill. My Auburn tigers vs Georgia Southern starts at 6:30, and his Bama vs Florida State starts at 7. It will work out fine, because the pre-game hype is my favorite part, anyway. Let's hope the game timing continues to be in our favor!

Oklahoma plays UTEP in Norman. I'll be there to cheer on my Sooners.
The kickoff is at 2:30 and the high on Saturday is supposed to be 85, which is perfect tailgating weather. It will be very strange to have Lincoln Riley coaching our team instead of Bob Stoops, but I'm looking forward to a new era of Sooner football.
BOOMER SOONER!

East coast Pea chiming in. My Syracuse Orange host Central Connecticut State (never heard of them) tomorrow night at the Carrier Dome.
However...even MORE exciting cadoodlebug, my friend....your LSU Tigers are hosting us on the 23rd. I'll be at my DD's field band competition that day so you'll have to keep me updated!
Go 'Cuse!!!

I root for my son's team (Ohio State), since my college team barely has bleachers, let alone a stadium, and has never been televised.
