College Football...Tonight

College Football begins tonight.

The post today could say nothing except that and it get my point across, but that wouldn't be to informative.

That being said, a few more thoughts on the season and the first week.

Starting this evening with LSU and Mississippi State. I love this game for LSU. It's an early season tune up and a conference game. They quickly get to go to 1-0 in the SEC barring the end of the world. They get a chance to put their new offensive stars on the field and see how they play against a team that has a little more talent than whoever Florida opens with. This was a great call by their schedulers. Also, look for Mississippi State to move the chains for the first time in the second half. Also, don't count on them scoring either.

Look for Florida State to win in the 4th quarter on Monday against Clemson. All the rage in college football this year is about the revamping of FSU's coaching staff. I think this year you will see FSU throw some more points up on the board but it is Coach Bowden's first game with his new crowd. Just like it takes players time to settle in, the same goes for coaches. After a nervous first half and a quiet third quarter, look for FSU to make a run in the 4th and go home 1-0.

I would like to congratulate Big 10 patrons. You guys are so important that you have your own TV network. Have fun finding a place to watch it while the ACC, SEC and Big 12 are occupying the prime network spots.

Notre Dame opens this season at Georgia Tech. No one outside of Buckhead really cares about Georgia Tech now that Calvin Johnson is a pro and now that Joey Hamilton isn't on any one's radar. They should. Tech's defense is stacked and should provide a lot of issues for the new Domer signal caller. Without Reggie Ball, Tech should score enough points to win. With Reggie Ball, he would find ways to throw incomplete passes. I would venture a guess of saying ND puts up 10 points max.

I've been talking way too much about defense. USC, the team ESPN tried to label "America's Team" has three injured running backs including freshman Joe McKnight. That leaves them with four guys with the chance of starting on Saturday. I'm pretty sure I could start for the Trojans against Idaho.

Finally, regardless of who your team is, you should be excited about tonight. Life begins again tonight. College football is the greatest sport in America. It never gets old. Neither does Matt Flynn. LSU will roll tonight.
