    30 days and counting until the Penn State and UCF game!

    I know most of you don't care about Penn State but I really like what I'm seeing with Franklin and his recruiting results. I hope he keeps his nose and the program squeaky clean as the next few years should be exciting for Lions fans...........

    What's going on in your program?

    I'm a huge Penn State fan as well. I think this is our best freshman class in a while. I just hope it shows on field.

    Hopefully the Sooners come out firing on all cylinders. They have the momentum and team to make the 4 team playoff. Hopefully they stay focused all year.

    Badgers vs LSU to start the season on prime time in Houston at the Texan's stadium. Can't wait.

    First year with U MD playing in the B1G so I'm not sure what to expect. I'll probably end up watching everyone else's teams like usual.

    My Illini will probably suck as usual. Maybe they will be able to get enough wins for a pointless bowl game but I doubt it.

    But over all I love college football and can't wait.

    I absolutely love football... But have never gotten into college ball.

    I think this year may have to be different.

    It's mixed. The real reason for doing it is money for funding the growing research departments at UMD and exposure at a much bigger level for the educational side.

    I was always a huge fan of the ACC and it'll be tough watching them leave (especially basketball) but from a recruiting standpoint I think it'll help. The impacts won't be noticeable at first so it may be a rough couple years.

    Why does everything good have to happen at the same time of year?

    Take away LSU and maybe Nebraska and Wisconsin has a favorable schedule for sure. Can't wait to see Melvin Gordon run.

    Seriously, way too much going on in the fall. Maybe we should move fb to the spring.
