Let's talk College Football!

Who you rooting for?  What do you expect from your team this year?  Do you think you have a shot at the championship?

I'm a huge 'Canes fan, and am psyched for the new year.  I really like our QB, receivers, defensive line, and secondary, and am hopeful for the running backs and O-line.  Most of the productive players on this team seem like they are sophomores, so I expect a good, albeit inconsistent, year.  I'm guessing 9-3 is what I expect (I'm hoping to come out of the first 4 games no worse than 2-2), with a shot at the ACC title if things go down right.  I'm really hoping this team is like the 2000 'Canes, which took one loss to Washington, built up a head of steam, and became the dominant 2001 team anchored by Andre Johnson, Ed Reed, Clinton Portis, and all those guys.

I look at Jacory Harris and see a real college QB.
I watch Aldarius Johnson and LaRon Byrd and think, with luck, they could both be as dominant as Andre Johnson was.
I see Allen Bailey and Marcus Fortson and hope they're the next dominant set of UM D Tackles.
I watch Sean Spence run sideline to sideline and think of Jon Vilma (I dare not invoke Ray Lewis...let's not get crazy).

I hear stories of a nasty defense in camp, and of a return to a pro-style offense so potent Jacory Harris giggles when asked to describe it.

All in all, I see a team loaded with talent but short on depth, and am hopeful that this year's a stepping stone back to dominance.

Hate to disappoint you, but I'm pretty confident that my USF Bulls are going to put the beat down on your Canes and FSU this year (this comment should ruffle some feathers  ).

I'm expecting a lot out of Selvie and Growthe this year seeing as they are seniors.  The WR core didn't look too bad last year, and I expect Love to have a big season.  I am worried about the Offensive line, as they lost a few starters from last season, so it might make the RBs look bad, although I think this is Mike Ford's year if the OL can get it together. 

I think USF wins the Big East this year, but won't be playing for the National Championship.  Florida probably wins the National Championship again.

I think everyone should know who my team is. I don't expect much this year and in fact do not expect much until there is a coaching change. Stewart is a nice guy, but isn't a head coach in my opinion.

I see the gators repeating.

Hey, you might beat USF...I have high hopes for my boys this year, but they suck in conference.

I am a gators fan, but i don't really like Tebow.  Something about his preachy attitude gives me the willies.

I love Tebow as the Gators QB, but missionaries bother the Hell out of me.

What I can't stand is the reporter who dared ask him if he was "Saving himself for marriage".  He was caught between a rock and a hard place.  He HAD to answer the question honestly.  If he took the "no comment" route, people would speculate and call him a hypocrite.  That reporter should be severly reprimanded and/or have her credentials suspended for a period of time.  His private life is no one's business but his own as long as he doesn't break any laws.

No she shouldn't. She's a reporter. It's her job to ask hard question.

Hard questions about his personal life that the public does not need to know??  Give me a break, SC.

Notre Dame.  I expect them to win 7 games this year.  Unless Charlie Weis goes like 11-1 and gets into a BCS Bowl, he'll be back in the NFL next year.

When does the public ever "need" to know anything that's going on in sports?

I'm a TDMMC fan, but I don't really like Dave Gray. Something about his messianic atheism gives me the willies.

I love tebow, but the media's continued ass kissing is getting ridiculous. Anyone who wacth the BCS championship with two good eyes realized Percy Harvin deserved to win the MVP award.

As for the season......everyone is playing for second.

GO GATORS!!!

Word out of Seminoles camp is that Christian Ponder is looking much more accurate than a year ago and is rifling passes downfield rather than settling for "check downs".  The offensive line is in the best shape of it's life and Easterling will give the receiving corps a major boost as he is not showing any ill effects from his torn Achillies tendon. 

They're replacing seven of ten starters on defense, so that will be a little iffy.  The good news is most of their backups on defense get extensive playing time.
