Early Games you guys are pumped for!

[blgstocks]

Please write in ones that are not on here

Im definitely pumped to see USC vs Ark (revenge special)

Definitely pumped to see OSU vs Texas (a.k.a thom24 vs 3sec)

I know derek or diapers cant wait for ND vs Pennst

Excited for the battle of the sec homers au2001 vs dvlsu in auburn vs lsu

One of my personal favorites in who would i like to see lose more in Florida st vs Miami has to be a big one too!

You guys tell me, what are you most excited for?

 

[DeadPrez]

I am looking forward to California at Tennessee

showcase game for both teams

Any major SEC battle I always look forward too as the SEC is my favorite conference to watch

down the road to the end of the season will be a huge game when Notre Dame goes out to USC

ACC battles Clemson @ Florida St and Va Tech @ Miami

Oklahoma/Texas this year will be a great matchup and I am really looking forward to the Oklahoma @ Oregon game to see how well the Sooners perform. They are going to have a big year and that is their first test.

A couple homer games I am looking forward to is Colorado vs Colorado St and then CU vs Arizona State. Eager to see how the hometown buffs will look with Dan Hawkins at the helm and eager to see if they will have the talent (especially at QB) to execute his system successfully

west coast games

asu at cal.. huge early pac-10 game

zona at lsu.. will see if Zons really is impoved

national game
fighting irish at georgia tech.. should be entertaining

 

[blgstocks]

i was referring to opening week games, but to dig deeper in the season the two games i refuse to miss will be vatech vs miami

and asu vs usc, i have little doubt asu will beat usc i dont care what it is i will be playing asu ml on that one

 

[gjn23]

cal @ tenn
(can cal compete for a national title??? a win here is a must)

sc @ ua
(the true test to see where arizona is at...ua @ lsu looks like a potential rout on the road two weeks prior, but the pac-10 home opener vs sc, after facing sfa, presents a chance for a national audience and a huge upset)

cant wait for TEXAS vs. OSU !

 

[hm23]

Aug. 31 Thu. UTEP @ San Diego State 10:30 p.m. CSTV


Opening day...televised...Long's debut for the Aztecs.

I wanna see if Long can kick start the SDSU O that Craft f'd up.

Also, curious to see if Univ. of Texas at El Intercepted Passo's (to steal the old Bottom Ten column's moniker) overrated QB will implode on TV.

 

[thom24ad]

I hope you're right blgstocks.. but ASU has never won a conference game in the state of california since Koetter has been head coach..

 

[DR STRANGELOVE]

[DIRTY Diapers]

Not this year my friend... I might be up there as well...

 

[blgstocks]

I hope you're right blgstocks.. but ASU has never won a conference game in the state of california since Koetter has been head coach..

good point bgold, i just know that asu has been trying to be the team to take down the trojans for a couple years now and they should have done it last year and were one meltdown 4th quarter away from doing it.
It took an almost unbelievable effort by bush and white dragging asu dbacks down the field to come back and many might forget that asu was driving down to win the game in the final minutes before an incredibly lucky(or unlucky) bounce off of Hagan's hands leading to an interception.

So Koetter and crew want that victory even more than ever and are returning everybody but Hagan(who despite being one of the best recievers in Pac10 history was somewhat of a liability that game)
and Koetter has dictated his offseason to be prepared for USC by adding 2 very talented and highly rated juco LB to fill the holes that led to USC comeback victory last year.

I think ASU would stand a very good chance of beating SC this year if everyone is returning. BUT everyone is NOT returning, the only reason why SC didnt get blown out that game was white and bush who are both gone, along with leader Lienhart.

Sorry for the long writeup its just a game i cannot wait for and these are the reasons why. If asu does not win it would be a huge upset it my mind.

 

[bgold13]

asu has the d-line upgrade.. not sure about the juco linebackers.. they got loren howard eligible.. the one time all-big 10 de at northwestern, a transfer from florida on the dline..and another former starter from byu eligible at dt... if these guys step up that's the key.. the asu offense is flat out loaded from qb,rb,wr,te and oline

Not this year my friend... I might be up there as well...

Al,

I probably did, but anything not repeated (or remembered) within the last 90 days retains eligibility to be used as forum fodder.
