Hoke will be gone in three, tops.

And Urbz will probably have another nervous breakdown in about five.

Ready for another probably disappointing year! Woo!

Go Noles!
 
Kansas St. is going to lose to NDSU. KSU usually plays an FCS team their first game, and the game is generally close, but this time they are facing the 2 time defending FCS champs. Snyder is gonna cry old man tears

listening to the Saban Gameweek PC. Yearly lulz about giving the press a depth chart on paper. "I'm only releasing this because you guys want it. So, don't ask me any questions about it, because I'm just going to bite your head off"

Mack Brown hasn't released a depth chart since November of 2012. We still have Kenny Vaccarro starting on defense!

The way it's worked in the past is that your picks have to be in for a particular game before they start. So the Thursday picks have to be in before those games start. You can do your Thursday picks, and then change your Saturday picks if you feel like fucking with TTK on Friday.

That should actually be a good game. I'd watch it if the game wasn't on at a horrible time for me.

adidas.

Edit: Apparently Travelle Dixon didn't even make our 2-deep coming out of fall camp. Did he sign with Bama during the Mike Shula years by any chance?

Think he signed and was on campus last summer, left before game 1.

"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Some really good games opening week. I think this is the year Boise State's luster finally wears off.

BYU has one of the toughest schedules in their history, but their defense isn't going to be as good as last year. Hopefully a much improved offense will make up for that. It was frustrating losing so may games by less than a touchdown with a completely inept offense. Just an average offense and we win 11 games last year.

What's he saying?

I'm assuming he's talking about UGA's defense being unproven and our secondary being beat up the last week or so. Both are true, but I'm not too worried about that in this game. Clemson will score their points, the question is can their defense keep our offense from scoring? Do they stack 8 in the box to stop Gurley and Marshall, and leave single coverage for our receivers?

That said, I'm pretty pessimistic for us in any game.

Pretty much. New Georgia defense against "best offense in College Football"
