We are just one week away from real football starting. College football is, in my opinion, far superior to the NFL. There seems to be more passion from the coaches, players and fans in the college world than in the pros. Every week is do or die and you only get one guaranteed shot a year at your rivals (exception to this rule would be Conference championship or bowl games).
Hopefully my Tennessee Volunteers will actually show up this year. Butch Jones has lit a fire in the program and excitement is at a point it hasn't been in years. This season I look for more of a rebuilding year but I still see a bowl game, maybe the Peach or Gator Bowl (due to sponsorships the bowl names aren't exact). Hopefully the team plays up to their potential this season. Then, for next year hope all those recruits for 2014 (currently top 5 class in the nation) actually sign and are as good as projected.
Go Vols!!! Let's play Rocky Top so much the other teams gets it stuck in their heads.
Who's your favorite team? Please keep this thread courteous and free of taunts. All are welcome to pitch in their thoughts (even Bama and Gator fans).

I know quite a few true Bama fans that are respectful and don't get on my nerves. By true fans I mean that they were fans prior to this 3 out of 4 run that they've been on. The Gator part though was hard to type. Whenever I see someone in a Gator shirt or hat I just want to punch them in the face. If Dawgs is referring to Georgia, I have a feeling you may feel the same way Bruce, maybe not the violence part but at least the hating them (or extreme dislike since "hate" is wrong and all) part.

U-M Wolverines will probably not make the cut for the Big-Ten title, but they still are my team.
"Head to the future,
Run from the past,
Hide from the mirror,
And live in a glass,
What dreams forget the whiskey remembers" (Eric Church/Marv Green)

My cousin married a guy (cousin-in-law?) from Detorit who is a huge Wolverine fan. As long as they don't play my Vols, I wish them all the luck. Especially against those freaking Buckeyes with that jerk from Florida (Urban Meyer) who left for "health reasons." I hope he gets them back on probation.

It's time for week two of college football. A lot better games this week as many teams start with a cupcake to get an easy win.

Hey Jeremy, Not trying to pile on, but what happened with the Vols? You've got to be disappointed. I don't even want to mention my UVA Cavaliers giving up half a hundred to Testicle State, er I mean Ball State.
I have surpassed 700 Hero Ratings and have my sights set on 800!
Thanks to all of my outstanding customers!

I don't even want to mention my UVA Cavaliers giving up half a hundred to Testicle State, er I mean Ball State. Disappointed is about the nicest way to say it. Heartbreaking. They gave me all that hope only to rip out my heart and stomp on it at the end. They had so many opportunities to win that game in regulation prior to the final, game tying drive. Worley can't seem to hit an open receiver to save his life. And on Georgia's game tying drive to take someone's helmet off AND get a pass interference penalty on the same drive    , a team in the current state that the Vols are absolutely CANNOT give teams that many chances, especially a team as good as Georgia. Just a terrible weekend for me, Vols lose, Preds lost their first two games, and the Titans lost (with me in attendance, which somehow makes it worse). The only good thing to happen this weekend sportswise was Kevin Harvick won the NASCAR race. The next few weeks aren't looking so good either, Vols off this week then got South Carolina at home before traveling to Alabama. And now those games at Missouri, then home against Auburn are looking even harder. Add to that the Titans got to go to Seattle this Sunday then got the 49ers at home, both with Jake Locker out. I am trying to be optimistic but my teams haven't given me much reason to the last couple of years.

The only good thing about this week in college football is that my Vols can't lose. Man, it sucks the state the program is currently at, analysts talking "moral victories" from playing Georgia close. Total bull. Winning is all that matters. I have said this before but I hope Butch gets the program back to where it belongs in the top ten.

He totally had it coming to get fired the way he did. Karma will always come back and kick you in the balls. It's for the best that he left Tennessee, he would have had them on probation for years to come.

Just sold something to a guy from Baton Rouge, LA. His eBay ID is tuck_fulane ! Must be an LSU fan! How can you dislike Tulane that much? Can't be that big of a threat...

I don't get it either. I just looked it up, LSU (if that's who that guy roots for) holds a 60-22-7 advantage in football and hasn't lost to Tulane since 1982. I am assuming football because football is pretty much the only college sport that matters in the south. The rest are just to give you something to do until football season starts up again.

Yeah, I don't even know who Tulane's arch rival is...or if they even have one.
