September here, and college football starting up

[Jan2017]

We have already had the college football season open - last Saturday, in Sydney, Australia with the Cal Bears 51-31 over Hawai'i,
with games yesterday in the states, Tennessee Vols over Appalachian State in OT 20-13, and Louisville Cardinals 70-14 over Charlotte.

Tonight, the Colorado State Rams and the Buffs collide at Denver for their start of the season.

On Saturday, defending champs Alabama host USC . . . among all the rest.

The most important month in baseball has just started and will determine who gets into the playoffs and beyond. Regarding college football, I just hope MSU beats UM cause I can't stand the smarmy liberal creeps that are UM fans.

Yes, September MLB determines just who are gonna be "the boys of October"

And as far as colleges and football and fans/alumni are, it seems to have a certain level of intensity other sports don't always have
with a closer relationship than pro sports because of either a piece of parchment or student debt or both some may have.

Did Appalachian State cover the spread ? Sadder news , last week my High School lost to the larger school cross town rival 30 - 13 after leading in the third quarter and a wide receiver playing QB due to injury to the starting QB ( who missed the entire season last year, and is the punter as well ) as we went on to a state championship . Maybe they can bounce back tonight.

Maybe my Hoosiers can go 3 - 0 for the Oct 1 meetup with Michigan State , we scored 22 4th quarter points to get the first win , next two are possible .

Nine minutes to Half , the Black Knights are hanging tough with Temple .

My Giants have been shitty after the All Star break. Hopefully we at least hang on to the lead in the Wild Card race. We're used to winning the World Series from the Wild Card round anyway

Army needs this win and the next to have a shot at winning 6 games this season.

Michigan State not looking impressive against the Paladins .

I was at the Tennessee game last night. The vibe was not good. If they had lost people would have been jumping off of the back of Neyland Stadium. Im afraid the hype train has gone off the rails for the Volunteers.

The Black Knights have those Owls on the ropes now . Up 28 -13 with 2:00 to go .

My Giants have been $#@!ty after the All Star break. Hopefully we at least hang on to the lead in the Wild Card race. We're used to winning the World Series from the Wild Card round anyway

Aren't you guys supposed to win the title in the even number years? They joke about that on our sports talk here in metro Detroit.

Yeah baby , Daddy is makin' money now , , seems like I always start out strong .

We are supposed to. We've won it in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

#EvenYear

Also bad memory on my earlier post. We won in 2010 and 2012 as division winners. 2014 we won from the Wild Card. I thought we won from the Wild Card twice.

Our hapless Commodores had a very nice first half against South Carolina, but they have typically struggled in the second half, and that was again the problem last night. Coach Mason seems to be a good teacher, though, and I think he has done some things with Vanderbilt that will serve them well this year. Last year we could see a marked difference in their defensive awareness, and that was a big plus. I see some more determination on offense, so perhaps we will see a more interesting team.

I could go for a repeat of 1967 , with my Hoosiers winning the Big Ten and making the Rose Bowl .

Hopefully , Danke will take me to a bowl game this season.

#10 is on its way Smokey.

Appalachian State almost knocked off a big name school ten years later.

I have to admit though, that Smokey is still the best mascot (sorry UGA, you're a close second )
