USA Today College Football Top 25 is out!

[AlteredDNA]

Va Tech and Georgia have the most difficult OOC schedule this season....Im ashamed of Florida's OOC games this season, except for Florida State. But that night game against LSU, saturday night, 8pm kickoff in Death Valley...gonna be HUGE!!! possibly the biggest game of the year!!!
I think Va Tech beats Bama in the Ga Dome...new Tide QB...big game to start the season, and never started before.

You coming over to BR?

[ScarabGator]

I went to BR back in the 90's. It wasnt a good experience. No offense to you or any other LSU fans on here because most of yall are cool as hell, and this is the same issue as most big schools, especially here in the south but that night was horrible. Guys rode by in their car and slung some wet nasty shit water all over my wife and I walking. I was cursed out and shit thrown at me all night. I was warned by police for a fight that I didnt even start.....and then the game started!
Got back to the car later that night and my antenna was bent over and LSU stickers all over my windshield. This is all no shit, I wish it were.
I said then if we get out of there alive it would be my last trip.

[ScarabGator]

BTW-it was 1997, the year after our first National Championship. LSU was on fire that night and they beat us 28-21. Doug Johnson was our QB, and I think he threw more completions to LSU guys that Florida guys. It was our first loss of the season.

IDK man, SC has OOC AT OSU and AT Notre Dame.

Probably lucky for you based on the situation you described... t

True, true. I forget that. USC schedules decent OOC games every year it seems.

Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I know that kind of thing does happen, and even though it's very much not the norm, it does end up tainting the whole school.

One thing that might make for a better overall attitude now is that LSU is actually winning games (as opposed to the 90s).

If you do decide to come (maybe slip in incognito), I promise the group I hang with doesn't roll like that, but does have one of the best tailgaiting setups on campus - even been voted tailgaters of the week several times. You'd be more than welcome to hang out.

In the SEC word has always been LSU has the worst fans, as far as how they act at home towards other fans. Im honestly not trying to be insulting at all, I respect LSU a lot. After that October night in 1997 I have to say it may be true. But Florida, Tennessee and Georgia fans arent much better....when I go to games I really dont show my ass. I have fun....for some reason each time I step foot back on that campus I feel like its the 80's all over again....

Man, that would be awesome, and if I were with you guys maybe people wouldnt screw with me too much. I may look into picking up a couple of away games this year. Ive got season tix for home plus Georgia in Jacksonville.

I got no problem with trashtalking and what not as long as it's done in good spirits and doesn't cross the line (i.e. insulting the girl you bring to the game etc.), but at the end of the day it's still an entertainment event and you shouldn't have to worry about being threatened physically, vandalized, assaulted, etc. That kinda stuff is bullshit. I've been to Steelers and Bills games as a drunk Browns fan and I've been fucked with and fucked with people back, but it was all in good fun... no problems there, that's part of the fun in goin to away games.

What's it tell you when LSU won't play home games in the daytime? Nooo, they play the 500P game so there is more time to get hammered. I am sure alcohol intake is the primary reason why Gator was treated like an Abu Graib prisoner in Baton Rouge.

Ah - well, that doesn't excuse the behaviour, but it could explain it. First time LSU beat a #1 team - and it was Spurrier...

I can see folks getting a little over-excited, still though, no excuse for vandalism and physical assaults...

Good point. LSU does love those evening kickoffs, especially when its a big game. That one was at 6pm, I believe it was. I know it was well after 10pm before we got back to our car.

[ScarabGator]

Cool - just give it some thought, and let me know...


will do man, thanks!!!!! And the offer extends to you in Gainesville in 2010!
And you are extremely right-people got off on showing up Spurrier back then..hell, he egged it on. Remember the shirts that went around the SEC? Had the team colors and big letters that said on front "HEY SPURRIER" and on the back it said 'UP YOURS!!!" ???

[Rhiannon]

I HAD ONE OF THOSE!!!
No offense. I didn't adore Steve (still don't). Just thought the shirt was too funny. Wore it to a UT/UF game one year.

Another huge rivalry-doesnt get the same respect as Mich-Ohio State, Army-Navy, Florida-Georgia or Texas-Oklahoma but its an intense game. Utah wins BIG this year.

[Michigan Girl]

I'd say the Big one-one are about midway, w/the SEC being at the top....
we have definitely got to start winning again...the "M" has not been
pulling their weight!!!

Have you not heard the news or read ESPN.com?

Michigan is now a 1AA school.

I see you added...you had me at a loss for a moment!!

I see you getting used to the word, "loss." That is the first step in accepting the University of Michigan Football season.

Loss, loss, loss, loss, win(over Indiana), loss, loss, loss, win (over C Michigan, loss and loss.

I'm not some googly-eyed girl living in la-la land...I know how DIM things appear for the "M"...
I'll be seeing you in THIS thread!!!

[Michigan Girl]

You coming over to BR?

YES!!!

[AlteredDNA]

Me too....just let us know what game you'll be in for!!

10-10?

[hoagiepete]

Has anyone done a study of how each school ends the season (say over the last 10 years) compared to where they were ranked in the bogus preseason poll? That would be interesting to see.

MG, I would only be there 10/10....I'd be the one wearing the orange and blue #15 jersey and an orange visor!!!

[Rockindeano]

Well so much for Va Tech. They just lost their starting RB. Seeya Hokies.

[ScarabGator]

Dont count em out just yet Dean.....

[Rockindeano]

Dont count em out just yet Dean.....

I just did.

Look this is coming down to UF, USC, either Texas/OU and maybe say a Cal or Ole Miss, possibly an OK St. Ohio State sucks, Penn State is playing a high school schedule, Alabama may have a shot if they take care of Tech, but my 2 on the NC stage is UF v SC, and I will pull for UF. I hate SC.
