Nebraska is going to wear alternative uniforms against the Badgers this year in Lincoln. I can't say I am really impressed by them, but at least they don't actually include an image of corn on the helmet or look like red and white camouflage.

Speaking of the Badgers, they have to be pretty confident about their chances of representing the Leaders Division in the Big Ten title game again this year with both Ohio State and Penn State being ineligible.

Pic fixed, and I agree about Wisconsin's prospects in that division even without the current sanctions.

In terms of the exodus from Happy Valley, RB Redd to USC, LB Forrt to Cal, QB Bolden to LSU. Redd should have the biggest short-term impact as USC's ground game had a hard time converting in the red zone last year. Bolden is the biggest unknown: lots of talent but didn't get along with either set of Penn State coaching sets and was looking elsewhere anyway. All players have 2 years of eligibility left, so if Bolden develops we could see him face Redd in a BCS championship game, which is essentially my CFB equivalent to Cliff Lee vs. CC Sabathia in Game 1 of the 2009 World Series.

Bolden will never touch the field other than in mop-up duties, unless Mettenberger gets hurt. He was taken as an insurance policy because, behind Mett, LSU has two RS freshmen who would be scary if called upon.

Coaches Poll is out:

1 LSU
2 Alabama
3 USC
4 Oklahoma
5 Oregon
6 Georgia
7 Florida State
8 Michigan
9 South Carolina
10 Arkansas
11 West Virginia
12 Wisconsin
13 Michigan State
14 Clemson
15 Texas
16 Nebraska
17 TCU
18 Stanford
19 Oklahoma State
20 Virginia Tech
21 Kansas State
22 Boise State
23 Florida
24 Notre Dame
25 Auburn

I think Georgia might be ranked a little high. Just sayin'.

Nice precursor to fail....just sayin

I think Nebraska is overrated too, but I'm hoping that by underestimating them this season, they will actually prove me wrong.

I'd prefer we start out of the top 20

I've had so much going on that I am woefully behind in all things CFB but I'll offer my Sparky The Sportscaster take on this years UGA squad.

Main concerns:

O-line - lost 3 starters to the NFL. Eligibility issues abound and many are getting their first shots at starting. Our season may rise or fall right here. Because......

Running Backs - Isaiah CrowFAIL is gone. Bringing back some 2nd and 3rd options and a couple of high school All Americans. If the O-line isn't up to it, we're screwed Offensively.

Aaron Murray - I keep watching and seeing greatness and also inconsistency. For all the good he does, he still hasn't beaten a final AP poll Top 25 team. STILL. The O-line rears it's head here again.

Kicking game - Freshman punter. Freshman kicker. Should be juuuuuust fine.

The good:

Defense -All Americans, SEC 1st and 2nd teamers all over this squad. Potential to be a Top 5 defense, maybe even Top 2.

Our D will keep us in every game we play but the Offense has to do their part. Our schedule is ridiculously light. If we overcome the suspensions and beat Mizzou @ Columbia, then the South Carolina game will be the difference in us going 11-1 or 10-2.

Until I see otherwise, I think we'll be good not great.

Also, anybody see this latest gem from the NCAA board on the eligibile bowl teams?



Don't fret though. STOP! WAIVER TIME!




NCAA: Strong on child rape. Crumbles to the TV dollar.

For the Bayou Bengals? Because they went from being one of the best college football teams anybody had ever seen (ever) to getting the living shit kicked out of them by Bammer last year.

The Dawgs will always find a way to clinch defeat from the jaws of victory: Everybody knows that.

Yes, us. I absolutely hate starting as preseason #1. That being said, I do think LSU is the best team this year. Stacked everywhere with the exception of, yes, QB.

Here's what the Badger uniforms look like for the Adidas unrivaled game here in Lincoln.

The officials can wear gear labelled D (for deliberator), making the game a WND showcase. Nebraskans -- the realest among whom get their news from World Net Daily -- would appreciate that.

ol honey badger... LSU probably has 3 back ups just as good.

He can transfer to a D2 & play right away, then declare for the draft.

Easy peasy.

Close. This is still sad, sad stuff though. Another kid throwing away a great future.

dumbass honey badger! ugh.

dumbass honey badger! ugh.

Brent?

Yup, hot $ right now is on UNA.

I thought he was leaning toward staying in state and attending McNeese State, and is also considering Jackson State and Praire View A&M?

He is. Probably McNeese

sad because you won't see him in lsu colors? you obviously don't give a toss about him earning a degree since he could get it elsewhere, so what makes his case especially sad? and why is his future in jeopardy? kid gets tossed from team after multiple chances to clean his shit up before cashing in from the bigs. it's the american way.

Sad because he's battling this addiction. Sad because, by all accounts, his draft stock has fallen from late first/early second to seventh or undrafted. Could he still possibly make it? Of course, but it will be much more difficult now.

addictions to dat synthetic weeg, arrests & multiple academic infractions are truly heartbreaking. thugs far shittier than this punk get drafted all the time. i think it's high time you sever your blind allegiance to lsu & admit you're more bummed about filling a hole in your college fantasy team. i noticed you failed to mention anything about him getting an education - which i find appalling considering you're a teacher.
