The Feeling

It hit me today. I'm wanting college football. We've got 102 days until Thursday night kickoff.

Some notable games in week 1:

USC@Vanderbilt - Thursday

Let's see what James Better Than Chizik Franklin's got.

Boise State@Michigan State - Friday

Can Boise State continue to impress?

Auburn-Clemson - Saturday

Anyone care about this one?

Alabama-Michigan - Saturday

Can Alabama repeat? Is Hoke really changing Michigan for the better? This game will tell a lot about Michigan.

Navy-Notre Dame - Saturday

It's in fucking Ireland. The Irish are playing in Ireland....

I have indigestion.

Tough to top last year's win total?

We have 15 returning starters and an easier schedule, but he decides to say that we're shooting for a 4th bowl appearance?

PPFFFFFTTT.

How dare you doubt. Phil Steele is the most accurate motherfucker ever. Unless he's not.

I like how he spent the entire section bragging about how right he was in 2010. He conveniently left out that he had us 11-0 before the Alabama game and THEN losing to Alabama. Got that wrong, fucker.

I bought a Phil Steele mag last year and tossed it in the trash after 5 minutes of trying to decipher his codes....in tiny little writing. I don't think anyone can figure out what his predictions are because they're all in secret code.

Georgia will have 18 ORG's with an over of 12.74 while the returning A7's pull a PS106+.

See, I was right.

They have to beat Navy or it will be an embarassment.

And sadly, I agree on UAT/Michigan. I like Hoke, and I like Michigan - but I don't think they have the horses Bama has.

Some notable games in week 1:

USC@Vanderbilt - Thursday

Let's see what James Better Than Chizik Franklin's got. He's returning a 6-7 team full of Vanderbilt level players.

Boise State@Michigan State - Friday

Can Boise State continue to impress? How many players did they have drafted? They lost a lot.

Auburn-Clemson - Saturday

Anyone care about this one? I think it's an important game to set the tone of the season early.

Alabama-Michigan - Saturday

Can Alabama repeat? Is Hoke really changing Michigan for the better? This game will tell a lot about Michigan. Meh

Navy-Notre Dame - Saturday

It's in fucking Ireland. The Irish are playing in Ireland.... I like to watch Navy's offense, beyond that, Meh.

Two of y'all need to have a little more faith in my shipmates from Annapolis. Mark my words, Navy will beat ND!

Phil writes in the Wardian style. One has to know the code of the red phone in order to understand its nuances.

Why is RWS around?

I got a feeling too, but it isn't a pleasant one.

1) Dumbo Swinney is first and foremost a neanderthal bama bobo honk at heart. That's all he is. For that reason Sammie Watkins (and any other player not currently in jail) will be on the field against Auburn in the opener as he will have handled their discipline "in house." This means he will have introduced Watkins to his own dealer and will have smoked a few with Sammie to show how cool he is. With both Taj Boyd and Watkins on the field and with Andre Ellington carrying the ball, Clemson will score despite the loss of almost the entire OL. I don't think they will score as much because it takes a defense less time to get its shit together than it does an offense. That said, Auburn's offense is a vast unknown. We haven't been able to mash people since 2006, really. Gus scored points because we moved quickly and he wasn't afraid to do anything at any time which confounded opponents. We'll be less sizzle and more meat and potatoes this season. We aren't going to win the 60-44 score fests any more. I'll be surprised if we average over 22 ppg this season, honestly. We need to get to 24 at least to be where we need to be. That said, Clemson's run defense sucked last year and they lost their entire D-Line so there's that. But you add up all the rest and I still see Clemson taking us down 24-20.

2) Denard "Backyard" Robinson is horribly overrated. Alabama will intercept him four or five times and Michigan will get incinerated. Bama will start slow and then ass rape Michigan in the fourth quarter, scoring unnecessary points to boost their rep. When USC fails to nuke Hawaii or Syracuse the Turds will be back at number one with nobody on the schedule capable of knocking them from that perch. The only two remotely possible losses are LSU and us. They'll blister the rest of the creampuffs on that pussy of a schedule.

3) I hate Notre Dame. It's an irrational hate, but hate it is. They will punish Navy unfortunately, vault into the Top Five and then proceed to lose four or five games this season.

4) Vandy is one of those "had a lucky run" teams. I like Franklin and believe that in the right situation he'd be a hell of a coach. He's got the fire. Vandy isn't that situation. Lattimore will run for 427 yards in the opener and SC will do nothing fancy in handing them their ass on a plate.

5) BSU and Michigan State. Really? Like watching two fat old people gum each other. Boise without horse tooth Moore and perpetual dud Michigan State fighting for the right to be 7-5 instead of 6-6. Bleh.

I'm honestly not excited about any of it.

Why isn't UGA mentioned as a possible threat to bama?

Because they don't play them?
