Welcome back to college football! While I think most teams start next weekend, a few game are scheduled this weekend. LSU has a new head coach/coaches, a new yet-to-be-announced QB and they are coming off two dismal seasons after their magical 15-0 National Championship season in 2019. For those reasons, we aren't even on anyone's radar as far as ranking. I'm okay with that. I appreciate all that Coach O did for us in 2019 but am thrilled with what Brian Kelly has shown us thus far. We play next Saturday against Florida State in the Superdome. Should be a great game and will tell us a lot about this team. Who does your team play and what are your hopes/expectations for this season? GEAUX TIGERS!  |

As an OSU Buckeye fan, I just hope they actually live up to their high pre-season ranking! I'm always a little skeptical and worry that the higher they're ranked early on, the further they have to fall when/if they lose to somebody else in the top 10...plus they open against #4 Notre Dame next weekend - ugh!
As a fan of DH's Florida Gators (not even in the top 25 this year), I'll be right with you cheering for LSU when they take on the FSU Seminoles...

DH has already cleared everyone's schedule and started planning the menu for next week's opening day.
His beloved Hogs are playing but he will be watching all. the. games.
We will be having Game Day with coffee and every TV, laptop, and tablet will be on so he won't miss a minute walking from one part of the house to another.

My Oklahoma Sooners open against UTEP at home one week from tomorrow. My husband and I will be there!
I have a lot of confidence in our new coach, Brent Venables.

I will be cheering hard for Ohio State to beat ND scrappinwithoutpeas . Checking in to represent another Big Ten team - perennial Penn State pea here! 😊 I always love the excitement of the beginning of a new season. That feeling that maybe this will be our year. 😄🙃 I think the general expectations for our team are pretty low this year, but I’ll still be cheering on the blue and white! 💙🤍💙🤍💙 |

Hotty Toddy!!! Ole Miss plays Troy today at home. Miss State is playing Memphis at Home. Texas Tech is playing Murray State at home. I've not kept up with any football this summer so have no clue which of our teams are expected to do well or any other team related news. Looking forward to hanging my Hotty Toddy flag every week though!

The Texas Tech - TCU rivalry sure did heat up this summer! Did you follow any of that? DD kept sending me all the 🌵 emoji posts the Tech fans were posting. |

Ohio State opens against Notre Dame. While I believe we should win, these early tough games make me nervous. Sometimes it takes the Buckeyes longer than it should to play their best football.

Ain’t that the truth? We have lost too many first/early pre-conference season games that we should have won. |

Looking forward to hanging my Hotty Toddy flag every week though! Oh, you had me doing a double take about Ole Miss playing today. I had to google to see if I was missing a game. They play Sept. 3rd. That will start their season. You had me running scared over here!  I put my flag out mid July. Could you tell I was getting ready for the season to start?!? |

That's the Irish for ya! Sorry to hear your Huskers lost. At the Guinness brewery in Dublin in May. I don't drink beer but DH told me to hold it for a picture.   |

I heard a little bit about it, as I listen to local sports radio in the morning. I think we play them ( you 😊 ) in November. A lot can happen in the meantime. Good luck. 💜 |

I’m sorry! 😫 Who decides an onside kick is a good play when you are up 11 points in the 3rd quarter and have the momentum. I don't know how many more ways Scott Frost can find a way to lose close games! I don't know what that final drive was. We just melted. I am hoping we win 3 games this year. Frost will be gone! |

This Northwestern alum is waving hi and wondering how the game turned out? LOL.
We have to enjoy it while we can! |
