College football season is starting up folks. GenRep's Shorthorns start playing directional schools in a week or so ... so lets get the smack talk started!

Looking forward to seeing the humbling of USC. Their coach should provide for some great drama.

USC meaning Southern Cal. This is the team that was #3 in the country but thought they should have been named #1 so went and bought themselves a trophy. This USC is in deep shit for violating all kinds of NCAA recruiting rules.
Their coach bailed right before all the rules violations were uncovered. The new coach is Lane Kiffin, a former Raiders coach who was fired for lying.
Should be a great year for the PAC 10!

I wish U South Carolina well in their endeavors.

Why is it that all the best teams get to pad their schedule with easy teams? Check out some of these opening games. Bunch of pussies. (I'm allowed to say that here?)

USC #14(Southern Cal) played Hawaii (USC wins 49 to 36- pretty embarrassing for them to let Hawaii score that much)
Alabama (#1) plays San Jose State (huh?)
Ohio State (#2) played Marshall (won 45-7)
Florida (#4) plays Miami, OH
Texas (#5) plays Rice
Oklahoma (#7) plays Utah State
Nebraska (#8) plays Western Kentucky
Iowa (#9) plays Eastern Illinois

Not pussies:
#3 Boise plays #10 Virginia Tech (finally a good game!)
#6 TCU is playing #24 Oregon State

Hoping to see some upsets after Saturday.

You're an OU alumunus so of course you want to defend your team. Let's look at the schedule.

09/04/10 vs. Utah State Norman 6:00 PM CT (OU should take it no problem)
09/11/10 vs. Florida State Norman 2:30 PM CT (half-assed. Easy win for OU)
09/18/10 vs. Air Force Norman 2:30 PM CT (not that great the last few years, but good for a small school. OU wins.)
09/25/10 at Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio TBA (An art school, but the new coach has improved the team significantly. Put your money on OU.)
10/02/10 vs. Texas Dallas, Texas 2:30 PM CT (#5- will be a tough game, finally. Rivals. Anyone's game.)
10/16/10 vs. Iowa State Norman TBA (#9 so should be a close game.)
10/23/10 at Missouri Columbia, Mo. TBA (Strong team)
10/30/10 vs. Colorado Norman TBA (they suck. An OU gimme)
11/06/10 at Texas A&M College Station, Texas TBA (supposed to be decent, but OU will take it.)
11/13/10 vs. Texas Tech Norman TBA (not ranked this year, should be an easy win for OU)
11/20/10 at Baylor Waco, Texas TBA (Awful. Stick to science Baylor. OU massacre)
11/27/10 at Oklahoma State Stillwater, Okla. TBA (might be tough for OU, but they should win).
12/04/10 Big 12 Championship Arlington, Texas TBA

OU season: 11 wins and 1 loss (to Texas)

Nope- not a TN fan. Can't stand when teams gloat over easy wins.

Only Utah, Air Force, FSU, and Cincy are the out of conference teams so the other games are not of their choosing.
OU should easily win all four of their non-conference games. A lot of sacrificial lambs. Why not add Kansas or Kansas State, both Big 12 conference teams to the schedule?

USC plays Hawaii, Virginia, Minnesota, and Notre Dame as their non-conference games. Notre Dame is always tough. I think ND will take it.

UCLA plays Kansas St. AT Kansas St. and Texas AT Texas- two brutal schools- in their non-conference schedule. If they win these, they should beat the rest of the PAC10.

#1 Alabama has San Jose State and Duke on their schedule. Nice way to pad the wins. On the other hand, maybe Penn State will give them a good work out.

Oh, and GR ... who is going to flinch first? Texas or Oklahoma?

@TJ - I'm surprised to see you had a kind thing to say about Texas (Hook 'em). After Rice this past week, I don't know what to think about their chances. Although the game was technically "away", and we did put them away more easily than how y'all handled Utah State. That said, I don't envy your non-conference schedule one bit.

@GR - Didn't realize you were a Texas fan...should've known after the Shiner Bock comment a couple of weeks back. Nice to see a friendly face around these parts, even if you do hate the 'Boys. ;)
