And your team is?

Rice - Armed Forces Bowl, pretty damn good for a bunch of nerds
PSU - good Lord what a surprisingly great season it was - BOB > Bielema

BOB is a damn good coach. Real jealous he's at PSU.

About time one of the Belichek disciples did well.  Unless you count Saban.

I can't even bring myself to make fun of Penn State football. That embarrassing episodes transcends football.

Enjoy Bill O'Brien these next few years. Have a lot of pride to salvage.

The current players on the team deserve a good coach, and they ended up with the best.

BOB is a damn good coach. Real jealous he's at PSU.

He may not be there for long, but if he wants it, the job is his for 50 years.

[Smithian]

So true.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, will cause Penn State to fire a football coach.

Well, except one thing. But that firing only happens once the government finds out. The school admin will cover up for anything.

Some people just don't give a freak about the past. What happened at PSU, "not a big deal".

You liar! Joe Paterno himself said in hindsight he wish he did more! He cared about the past!

Western Kentucky just hired Bobby Petrino.

Prepare for the best two or three years of your lives, Western Kentucky football fans.

Man, there are some bad matchups this year.

I actually think Oregon will whoop Kansas State. And ND will beat Alabama 3-0.

The rest I agree with.

[spidernat]

I have Alabama winning by double digits. At least I'm hoping that's how it goes. Sorry dude.

If Alabama can get their running game going, it could get ugly. I can't wait to see Barrett Jones vs. Louis Nix. It really is a good matchup all the way around.

Cincinatti v. Duke?  What, are they finally off suspension from Huggins?  I go with coach K, or Krz . . . or whatever his name is.

Rice will beat Air Force.

People are still underestimating KState, I see.  I don't know that they'll beat Oregon, but they won't get blown out.

Stephen Strasburg's San Diego State is playing BYU.  If the Aztecs win will they call off the end of the World?

Go Aztecs!

I'm rooting on Western Kentucky in the Who Gives a Rats Ass? Bowl.

I'm sad to be missing the Military Bowl, it was really fun last year. I can't justify the half day of work - I think it was at 7pm last year.

[PANatsFan]

Rice will beat Air Force.

damn, did they ever! I have never seen a team in those uniforms dominate like that. It was bizarre.

[Smithian]

Still loving the Bielema hire.

Hired a top offensive staff with Jim Chaney as OC. Defensively brought a couple of his guys and then last night hired Randy Shannon as linebacker coach. Not bad.

Easy to see why he left Wisconsin. Arkansas is giving him resources Wisconsin either wouldn't or couldn't.

I guess forever being third/fourth fiddle in the SEC is better than winning the B11.
