83, Florida did "upset" Utah... you and I (maybe a few others) picked that one. That was a great game to watch.

OM won, but didn't cover 28-10. Overall, I liked the play of the defense, I like how they attacked the ball. Troy obviously is one of the weaker teams OM will play so I take it with a huge grain of salt. OM played a sloppy second half- wasn't it 3 turnovers? I'm hoping first game jitters- we'll see how that goes moving forward. The running game was impressive, again... huge grain of salt it was against Troy. I thought Dart did OK. His deep throws were off, hopefully that's just inexperience.

Slow clap. Well done sir.

West Virginia leading Pitt 7-3 in the second quarter, interesting game so far. Former OM QB Plumlee has 3 TDs for UCF (coached by Gus) in the first quarter. It's against South Carolina State, but still... nice start for them. Tennessee all over Ball State early 24-0, no surprise there.

I like picking on OM and MSU fans for kicks. Kidding aside, people should respect OM and MSU fans. Both fan bases have sat through MANY miserable games, but still hang on and finally get to enjoy a very good year now and then. Bigger kudos to fans like myself who started following in the late 70s. Back then, it was a BIG DEAL if MSU or OM went 6-5 and got a Liberty Bowl bid. Most of my MSU friends are my age and remember those times... now we're both bowling MOST years and sprinkle in some NY6 bowl games. Times have sure changed for the better for our two programs.

Such great memories for some of us!

I like those picks 83. I definitely agree on OM, stay away from that line... too many unknowns including who the starting QB will even be. Memphis MAY cover, but I'd bet on State to cover. I think USM will be competitive in time, but probably not just yet this year. Liberty should cover. Florida should have the talent to beat Utah. Also agree on the rest until the upset pick... I don't dislike that pick, but I would wager Kentucky wins. I'll add, I'm leaning West Virginia covers Thursday night.

Well, there goes the neighborhood. Who let THIS guy in???? ** Good to see ya back around TR!

Vandy started slow at Hawaii tonight, but up 28-10 early in the 3rd quarter.

I agree on Pelini but will add Frank Solich. In 6 years: 11-2 12-1 10-2 11-2 7-7 8-3 (fired)

The failed onsides kick attempt (when up 11???) seemed to be the turning point, and Frost admitted it was his call. Frost's buyout was lowed a LOT after last season in an attempt to give him one last chance this year. Yeah- it's going to take some surprises for him to be in Lincoln after this season.

Losing Durkin as DC is definitely a question mark also. OM also lost Lebby as OC from last year, supposedly the offense was pretty much all Kiffin anyway- we'll see.

I have no idea on OM Satch. OM lost quite a bit from last year's team... Corral, Ealy, Snoop, Campbell, and Williams off the top of my head. Kiffin did well in the transfer portal to potentially fill positions, but how well will the new players fill those positions and gel as a team?

AP and Coaches preseason polls were released this week, FWIW. SEC in the AP (including Oklahoma and Texas for fun) 1. Bama 3. UGA 6. A&M 9. Oklahoma 19. Arkansas 20. Kentucky 21. Ole Miss SEC in the Coaches 1. Bama 3. UGA 7. A&M 9. Oklahoma 18. Texas 21. Kentucky 23. Arkansas 24. Ole Miss

I like the new NIL, it's past time to pay the players. It really hasn't changed who wins though... Who has Bama, Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State in the top 4 playoffs this year and every past year lately? I'd highly wager 2 of those are in the top 4, if not 3 of those 4.

Freeze beat Saban twice in a row, it could happen...

You're thinking of Rufus French, heckuva DE for Ole Miss!

Troll thread in General Chat, I figured I'd play a tad.

MSU also hasn't had a great cornerback since Eric Moulds.

#6... and I'm guessing you weren't around when Tehands posted about how much he benched? Was a running joke for years here.

MSU once had great WRs, doesn't seem like they've had a great one since Fred Smoot.

How much you bench bro?

West: Bama and the rest. East: UGA and the rest, then Vandy. "Between 3-9 wins" is a long running joke, but I honestly can see OM/MSU finishing 2nd or 7th in the West this year. With the transfer portal and NIL, a LOT can change year to year with teams now.

MSU had knocked on the door enough I figured it would have happened to them at some point. Bianco has won a TON of games with some pretty good teams, it just always seemed to fall apart in the post season. Now that Bianco has proven he can win it all, it makes me wonder what would have happened in 2020 had covid not ended the season. It's possible this would have been a 3 peat for the state.

Yep, it's very odd. It's up to Delucia now to make the scouts look dumb or smart.
