Arkansas Razorbacks.

They have the number one rushing attack in the country.  Big question marks at quarterback and the rebuilt defense.

Nope not a college football fan. Not really a sports fan at all, it just doesn't interest me.

Went to the University of Arizona

Went to one game in person. I had more entertainment watching the folks in the crowd try to hide their booze from the campus Police than the game. Then again in the early 70's the UofA didn't really have much of a football team. If they won a third of their games, they considered it a winning season.

Now the only game I care about with them, and it's in both football and basket ball, is the UofA ASU game. I still won't watch it but it makes me happy if they beat ASU.

Yeah, and they had 22 straight wins stashed back on January 1, 1966...until they ran into the unranked LSU Tigers in the Cotton Bowl. That had to be one of the greatest football games ever - certainly one of the best I've ever experienced. Nobody gave LSU a chance, and they won it the hard way.

I'm a Texan through and through, but we lived in New Orleans when I started playing organized football. I cain't hep mysef, I'm a Tiger fan.



GEAUX TIGERS! :D

PS - I do hope the Cowboys end up with McFadden. Let's hope Cleveland tanks this year, eh? ;)

Culero talk about not being given a chance....in the 1995 Fiesta Bowl #1 ranked Nebraska went up against #2 ranked Florida. None of the sports Talking Heads gave Nebraska a snow balls chance in hades vs Spurrier's offense at Florida.

The Huskers thrashed second-ranked Florida by a score of 62 - 24. That 38-point margin of victory was the second highest ever in a No. 1 versus No. 2 matchup, and gave Nebraska back-to-back national titles. NU trailed 10-6 after the first quarter against Florida, but scored 29 un-answered points and rolled on for the victory.

The Huskers rushed for a NCAA bowl-record 524 yards in that game, including 199 yards rushing by quarterback Tommie *Touchdown* Frazier. Defensively, the Blackshirts dominated the Gators' famed "Fun 'N' Gun" offense with a brutality and aggression that put fear in the eyes of Florida's QB Danny Wuerful (sp?). The Huskers recorded seven sacks, forced four turnovers, had a safety and returned an interception for a touchdown.

Of course as a diehard Nebraska fan I expected my beloved Huskers to win and thought all the Talking Heads were just so many used tools. I just didn't expect the kind of blow out that happened.

The '95 Husker team is most certainly one of the greatest college football teams ever assembled and a valid case can be made for the greatest team of all time.

Culero,

Yep, LSU has a great program.  Let's hear it for the SEC!

I'm reminded of a story the Late Jerry Clower used to tell about LSU.

He was on a flight to Atlanta or some such southern destination when the subject of college football came up.  The previous fall LSU had defeated a heavily favored, strong as 60 acres of garlic Auburn team in a rain-soaked game.

Anyways, one of the Auburn fans on the plane sneeringly commented that the LSU Tigers were a very good team "IN THE RAIN!"

Jerry responded, "I've got news for you Auburn War Eagles fokes.  Us Mississippi State people have been playing LSU hand-runnin' for years.  And them Tigers is BAD...WET OR DRY!"

Regards, Shuckins

Elfie, I remember that game well.  Some well-deserved come-uppance for an arrogant Steve Spurrier.  Talk about putting on a clinic!

I watched the entire game with a smirk on my face. :D

Actually,my WVU Mountaineers were first among all BCS schools in rushing.They were number two overall behind Navy.With Slaton and White now juniors,they should certainly be at the least that good this season.

Navy was ranked first in the nation, but Arkansas was ranked first in the SEC -- and that's harder.

***YAWN***

Yeah,WVU was stymied by SEC champion Georgia's defense in the Sugar Bowl a year and a half ago.

WVU managed to grind out a paltry 382 yards on the ground.

One of the unsung and largely unknown stars of the Arkansas backfield is senior Peyton Hillis.  The fact that he is unknown outside of Arkansas is mystifying since he is, at the current time, the number one fullback prospect for the NFL draft nationwide.  Hillis is, perhaps, the most punishing blocker they've ever had at that position.  He missed the last four games of the season because a thigh injury, and his absence was keenly felt.

I've been watching the Razorbacks for 45 years and they have never been this loaded with backfield talent.

Unfortunately, the coaching staff imploded after the season and excised the offensive coordinator and a Parade All-American true freshman quarterback from the system.

Having finally wound up in a school with a football program (my fourth college/university) I couldn't help myself.

So here's what I'm wondering:

Are you a college football fan?
Who's yer team?
Did you go to School there?

As for me..

Yes,
$MU,
Yes.

I am not a BIG college football fan but I watch it.

My Team is Iowa

I did not go to school to Iowa but my Cousin is starting Offensive tackle as a freshman for them this year (Bryan Bulaga).
