You rang? I bleed purple and gold. LSU starts the season against Wisconsin. With a new quarterback. Once again I'll be starting the Official College Football Fans weekly thread. Geaux Tigers!! HUGE Gator fan here. I graduated from there, my dad graduated from there, my step-father, uncle and a handful of other family members graduated from there. And while it matters not one iota to me any more, my ex graduated from there also. But as I mentioned in the other thread, my precious baby child, who was raised better than this-is leaving in about 1 month to go to LSU. We, my ex (who also a huge Gator fan,) and I don't know what we did wrong. Aw sweetie, y'all didn't do anything wrong. You raised a VERY intelligent kid.

Huge Florida State fan! We have season tickets and have traveled many mile to see my beloved 'Noles play through good and bad. That being said, we are scary good this year. Our running game is going to be untouchable and that combined with Jaboo under center again will make this season amazeballs! I am so ready to get this party started! Well gosh Kymberlee, it's really too bad you're not excited about your team! Love, A Hokie who doesn't mind rooting for all the ACC teams

My West Virginia Mountaineers will open against Alabama. While we should be much improved over last year, we won't be "Alabama good" by the opener. We hope to keep it close for a while and escape that game relatively healthy, I think we will have a good season. A blowout with a lot of injuries? Turn out the lights, the season's over. Well, you'll have millions of SEC fans cheering for you.

Another Sooner fan checking in here! We have season tickets and try to go to most of the home games. Our daughter will be a sophomore at OU this year, so it's really fun to go to the games and see her.
The Sooners should have a great year. We are ranked no. 6 in most of the big preseason polls.
There is a very troubling story breaking in Norman. Our top recruit, Joe Mixon, allegedly got into a bar fight and hit a 20 year old coed in the face and broke her nose and several facial bones. It sounds like his career may be over before he suits up for the first game.
My son goes to Notre Dame, so they are my second favorite team.

Former lurker here -please play nice.
I am really looking forward to watching my team defend a National Championship! But, I also have a great team in the SEC for whom I cheer, and a not so great team for whom I cheer.
cadoodlebug, I have enjoyed your threads for years, and love the cheer squad!

I've been looking for everyone who posts on the college football threads, and I haven't seen Kristina on this board yet. I sure hope she joins us. And Joy, thanks for posting the weekly college football thread! I hope everyone that posts on this thread starts looking for the college football thread every Thursday, because the more the merrier-especially when it comes to college football rivalries!

I didn't miss a home game for 13 years, but the streak got broken when i married an Army man. We usually make it back for at least 2-3 games a year from wherever we are stationed (including overseas). It is just WAAAAAY better when we are winning.

It is so sad and frustrating when these young men who have the world at their feet get into trouble. Jeez, keep your nose clean and take care of business and you will be able to write your own ticket. I just don't get it.

Since the other thread was mostly pro football, we can talk college here. Who is your team? When is their first game? What is your outlook for their season? The Huskers play Florida Atlantic on Aug. 30. We should have a pretty good season. We have an outstanding returning running back, an improved offensive line, and a much improved defense. My son will be attending the University this year. He actually got a student season ticket even though he isn't a football fan. Hope he will enjoy it. You don't think he'll just scalp them for beer money? That's what all my friends at UNL did. I should maybe start another thread for college football widows. I'm not a fan, but DH is already having in-depth conversations with friends about UT and A&M's lineups and such. When the season starts he's useless on Saturdays. The last thing he would scalp them for is alcohol. It would be money for Yu-gi-oh cards. He is a certified nerd and I am happy about that.

Grew up in Detroit and was a Michigan fan all the way. Been living in SC for the last 30 years and have become an even bigger SC Gamecock fan. Our first game will be Aug 28 vs. Texas A&M. Go Cocks! Are you going to any games this year? We are trying to figure out which game(s) we will attend. I can't wait!!!!!! Nothing like a Carolina game at Williams Brice!!!! Yes - we have tickets to Missouri and I think it's Tennessee. My husband and I will do one game, and my DS will go with him to the other. I absolutely agree - Williams Brice rocks when the sandstorm is brewing!

I'm here!!! Thanks to Joy for sending me a message to remind me about the football threads! I've been so busy this summer with lots of family things and with my impending retirement (15.5 working days to go!) I figured the closing of 2Peas would be the perfect opportunity to back off of some of my online activity, but I completely forgot about the fall football threads!! I can't miss those....especially this year when I actually have some confidence in my team....lol I *think* my Hawkeye's are going to have a great season! Iowa offensive tackle Brandon Scherff and defensive tackle Carl Davis were named to the Outland Trophy Watch List already and I'm very encouraged with both Jake Rudock and CJ Beathard in our quarterback position. We were a VERY young team last year and ended up in a bowl game during a season I had written off at the beginning, so this year, I'm going in with a different attitude and much more confident PLUS we have the easiest schedule I have seen for the Hawkeyes in a decade. No Ohio State, no Michigan, no Michigan State, no Penn State.....HA! we'll let them beat up on each other and we'll side through the other way to the Big 10 Championship. Iowa's opener is August 30th against University of Northern Iowa

Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan, here!
Our first game is August 30 against the Rice Owls. Never heard of them, in fact I had to google them to see where the school is.

Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan, here! Our first game is August 30 against the Rice Owls. Never heard of them, in fact I had to google them to see where the school is. LSU used to play Rice quite frequently since there were so many Tiger alums in Houston. It was a fun trip but we always slaughtered them.
ETA: When we were young and stupid we would stand up and cheer: N-O-T-H -I-N-G THAT'S WHAT RICE MEANS TO ME, NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We thought we were hilarious. That's what alcohol does to the brain.Of course, their band formed a hand and shot our fans the bird. Classy.
