And the College Football season begins!!!

Extremely glad to see M and especially Purdue lose. Now someone has to step up and beat Wisconsin while the Bucks take care of business.

I'm not packing my bags for Pasadena yet, but the Badgers are looking okay. If they can get their secondary in shape for Purdue and Michigan State, it might be an okay year after all. We don't play Ohio State this year, but I'm actually most afraid of Purdue, since they play neither Michigan nor Ohio State.

And given the sad state of College Football these days, the Badgers'll get a bowl game. I won't hold my breath for it to be on New Year's Day, though. Be nice to give Alvarez a bowl win for his last game, though.

Still, I was in the stands Saturday night, and it was great. Best game since we beat Ohio State in similar conditions two years back.

I know, I know it should always be OSU v M to decide the BIG 10 championship, but I can never actually root for them and always smile when they lose.

I want them both undefeated going into that game.

You know I said to my brother before the game that Wisconsin would probably win because it was very similar to when OSU went in 2003 and lost. Wet field and a later game.

Badgers are looking really good. Purdue with their lose makes them look beatable by anyone. I think MSU is going to become the team to beat if they can hammer some of their first few Big Ten opponents. But those Gophers could also give the Badgers trouble, that's usually a hard hitting game.

Cool. I flipped to it a bit after I got home from work, but it looked like a blowout and I didn't check again later.

I'm not alone in last place for the pick-em this week then...

Yeah, I switched over to MNF when it was 21-0 LSU. I figured with that team and that crowd there was no way Tennessee would come back.

Here's my Random College Football Thought of the WeekTM.

Isn't it apropos that Ohio State linebacker James Laurinaitis gets to play alongside a guy named Hawk?

I watched the entire game last night as it had a direct affect on OSU's chances this year. LSU had to lose and I was praying for Tenn to do something. It worked! Course Tenn needs to lose again.

I give props to the Vols as they had to struggle through a QB change and A LOT of dropped passes. LSU really let this one slip away because of the Vols' mistakes they really should have ran away with it.

THE HARRIS POLL IS A JOKE!!!

This thing already lost all credibility. Idaho got 5 votes. Not Boise State, who just clobbered Bowling Green (who also got 5 votes), but 0-4 Idaho, one of the worst teams in the country.

Sorry, but if they can't even get the schools right, what does that say about the poll??

There are other issues with it, too...
