This Tulsa vs East Carolina University game has been the best I’ve seen this weekend. 45-42 with 1:26 to go, very entertaining.

Seriously, best game of the weekend by far. We’ll have to see if Boise State and Virginia Tech can one up that.

That will happen every time with a receiver who’s 6’8", 250, lol. Did you see Tulsa’s cornerback, though? Damn near got up enough to snag it out of the air. I was much more impressed with that.

Don’t forget that Florida and Texas looked fairly shaky in their wins over crap opponents. Every game like that brings us one step closer to the day CUM retires (again). And somewhere in Texas, Mack Brown is kicking his feet, shaking his rattle, and making a Texas-sized fuss. Wahhhhh!
And is a Stanford fan really talking shit to a USC fan? First, I never got the rationale of talking shit to a team that you beat in a wild upset. It’s like saying, “Man we are so fucking pathetic—I mean really fucking pathetic—and we barely beat you, so that makes you just like us: pretty fucking pathetic! In your face, fellow pathetic bitch!”
I can’t wait until the cunt Harbaugh tosses Stanford aside like some cum-filled condom to take the Michigan job after Rich Rod is fired. Harbaugh is a good coach, but he is a classless human being. This has nothing to do with him beating us twice in the last three years. (I have no hatred toward Mike Riley, for example.) It has everything to do with him being a POS. Deep down, you know what I’m talking about if you’re a Stanford fan. And trust me, the football gods do not approve. [/quote]
Did you actually watch the Texas game or are you going off the ESPN highlights? Or the box stats? If you watched the game you would have seen that they are running a whole new offense, the spread is dead. Gilbert was under center about 75% of the time and they ran the ball, played ball control offense. I would not call it shaky, unpolished yes BUT they looked better than Florida.

TCU believe it or not high scoring game than what people think

LSU, Carolina will find a way to fuck it up
and of course, Boise State or Virginia Tech?
Boise state for our T-Nation member who is now a big fan

I was rather shocked by the performance. I didn’t expect a blowout. I didn’t think things were going to be great, but I couldn’t have predicted what I saw today. The converted guard playing center (Pouncey) was helpless. 13 botched snaps. They didn’t let John Brantley take it deep down the field enough. They’re not setting up blocks for someone like Jeff Demps (their RB, probably the fastest player in the nation.) I was flat-out confused about what I saw today.
On the bright side, the defense looked stellar… and they were playing with a LOT of true Freshmen today - that gets me excited. I’m a fan of defensive dominance over offense any day.

You can take comfort in the fact that Florida’s problems look to be easily correctable. To me, they just looked out of sync, like a team playing a bunch of young/inexperienced guys. They’ll progress as the season goes on.
OU looked like poop as well, so don’t feel bad. 
(They won by 7 against a team they were favored by 31.
To me the playing field just keeps getting level. 15 years ago Boise state, Fresno etc would not even be a blip on the rankings. Tune up games are getting harder, cause it is harder to find teams that are really really bad. I am a happy happy man about Texas’s new offense.

I think you bring up a good point.
This being game 1 for everyone, I expect to see mistakes. Simple mistakes (hopefully) , like offsides, maybe some holding, shit like that. What you don’t want to see are fumbles, interceptions, personal fouls, those kill any chance at a win. That might be why I have high hopes for USC’ offense this year. They had very few mistakes, firing on all cylinders. How you describe Texas’ performance (I didn’t watch the game so I am going by what you wrote) is more of what a typical game 1 performance would look like.
I also think that it is the players who determine the offense of defense, not a coach wanting a specific type of offense. If you have a great QB and corp of receivers, then the run and shoot offense would work for you, and if you have some great run blocking lineman with a stable of running backs, then the Power I formation is ideal for you. This could be one of the most common mistakes offensive coordinators make.
Funny thing about Mike Riley, I liked him alot, although he was too much of a football geek. I don’t think he is head coach material (he was my offensive coordinator under John Robinson during my time there.) I do however like that he suggested I drop 40 lbs and move to fullback, when he saw me run a 4.75 40-yr dash while weighing 274 lbs. I don’t think I could call him totally crazy for that.
So far what I’ve gathered from this first weekend of college football (thank god it’s finally back!) is that things seem to be pretty wide open this year. Not a lot of dominant performances from most of the “big boys.” I know it’s hard to tell from just week one with all the cupcake games but this could be another wild year.
Can’t wait for the Boise State game tonight. Hopefully they smash the overrated VaTech thugs that play in the worst BCS conference and only play well on special teams but they call in “Beemer Ball” and somehow that makes it ok… I hate Virginia (if you couldn’t tell) that place sucks. Go Boise!!! Lol
All I know is, my Trojans are moving up in the polls no matter what happens.
^^hell yeah… After tonights game one team ranked ahead of us will have a loss. I’m calling a top10 ranking by week 4

Hey man, Virginia is a tight place, Blacksburg just happens to be the asshole of the universe. I can not wait to see Tech get smashed.

Visit Charlottesville, Virginia is an awesome place. Don’t be ignorant.
I am so glad this game is in VA tonight, I would rather have my balls caught in a bear trap than look at that blue turf for 3.5 hrs.

The mental image that this generated was priceless.
Uniforms are getting borderline out of control. VT’s are pretty cool, but Boise State’s look atrocious.
