"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do"

You do know that LSU (a pretty average 9-4 last year) physically thumped you at home. The only question was " would they cover the spread" (no). Prepare for another very fast, very physical defense. If you need more validation of this theory see Arizona 0, NU 31…in a game they could have named their score.

UW outgained LSU in that game, the Dawgs first game under a new coach after an 0-12 travesty the year before…sure UW didn’t WIN but dammit that was a gutsy game the Dawgs played.. Yeah, UW finished 5-7 last year so what they looked bad at times whatever.
And don’t sell LSU short, going 9-4 in the SEC and a close loss in a New Years day bowl is a little above “average” dude come on with losses to Florida, Bama, and Ole Miss.
UW isn’t capable? The program is slowly getting back to what it once was. Don’t you remember college football before 2001 young’n?
Nebraska lost to fucking Iowa State last year in Lincoln, anything can happen in this sport. I happen to think the Dawgs win in front of a loud home crowd in week 3 of the season. COOK IT.

if LSU physically thumped UW last year
the stat sheet sure as hell dont show it-
Net rushing- LSU, 149
UW, 157
Net passing- LSU 172
UW 321
Total Offense – LSU, 321
UW, 478
Time of Possesion- LSU 23:08
UW 36:52
Sacks- LSU 1
UW 1
2 big turnovers by the Dawgs (one a pick 6) did them in.
Hell it was 24-16 LSU with 5 minutes left in this one. Not sure how bad they thumped the Dawgs, I remember that the Tigers were MUCH bigger, and MUCH faster, but it didn’t really equate to a thumping from where I was sitting. Although the sweet girl from LSU sitting in front of me gave me a couple of maker’s and cokes so maybe it was actually worse for us than i remember

It is differentiated in the respect that...
before today we were doing it in the desperation for a fix of our sustenance, CFB.
Today we are getting drunk in expectation of the fulfillment of our desire.
It is all a matter of perspective.

I was at the ND-UW game in 2008 in Seattle
The headline in the Sunday paper [Seattle Times, I think] was spot on to what all my Seattle friends were thinking. It read “Notre Dame Tried to Warn Us” or some such with a picture of Ty doing absolutely nothing remaining calm on the sideline

hope the montage for Locker this year is better than this:
that shot in the top left is always cringe-worthy.
"Nice coat! Who shot the couch?"
I winced 3 separate times looking at this.
1- The BYU flag toss still hurts (revenge in 3 days).
2- The coach that threw us into the fiery pits of football hell.
3- Top left just looks painful.

revenge will be sweet
off work at 3pm
buzzed at 4pm in front of big screen. (CBS College Sports wtf? hope the announcers don’t make me claw my eyes out. Tequila should help.)
shitfaced at 5pm, Dawgs up 14-0.
then who knows what the rest of the night will bring. tequila suggests much tomfoolery!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need a thread about the new Nike Pro Combats
And crazy.
The new year approaching, click in. Let’s facelift bar! Open the wardrobe is not yet found love after another the right clothes? So, also waiting for? Immediate action bar!
Nike Pro Combat
Most of the time, I’m glad Nebraska stuck with adidas.

WV's road unis this year don't look to bad. I kinda like 'em
"I like the taste of danger most of all." - Jonatha Brooke
I actually do like most of the Pro Combat unis themselves,
but the “pageantry” and the “ZOMG COLLEGE FOOTBAW FASHION SHOW!!!!!” turns my stomach, especially when Michael Irvin is involved. I thought the NU throwbacks for the 300th consecutive sellout last year were cool, but I was especially glad the promotional aspect of it was understated. Wish they’d done the same with the “Red Out” stuff for this fall…

Note the
artfully hidden placed shipping containers. That must be the equivalent of the trailer off US 43 that has about 10 Mustangs of different vintage in seperate states of (dis)repair.

That's not Wf'nV either
If it were, the trailers would be stacked directly on top of each other, not on well-engineered platforms.

Sorry Old South, that was not photoshopped
The picture was actually taken in New York City (NEW YORK CITY!?!) by one of the editors for The Smoking Musket (The WVU Blog That Will Never Leave Its Wingman), who got to attend the ‘unveiling’.

No, mon, not the trailers in the sky
Old South was refering to the photo of the WVU helmet up top this thread.
However, NYC’s Central Park is 843 acres.

2011 Big Integer schedules released:
Nebraska gets Sconnie, dOSU in October, then closes @Penn State, @Michigan and Iowa. So much for the cordial welcome. ;-)

Brah, why you looking for a 'cordial' welcome?
Don’t you just want to jump in there and smack them in the mouth?
"I like the taste of danger most of all." - Jonatha Brooke
Which I believe you will (smack them in the mouth)
I now have a Integer team to root for.

Well, yeah,
but even so, that could be a rough closing stretch if RichRod and GERG get their shit together. A brother’s gotta come up for air sometime.

Wisconsin doesnt get a column
They truly are going for the “screw Wisconsin” divisions. Now they are pretending they arent in the conference.
Conference homers are the lowest form of fandom. That is why the SEC has so many of them.
Confession
I know others of you are also perusing the CFB blogs while listening to your fight song and drinking a beer this evening. I know I am not alone in this and that is why I come here day in and day out. Happy College Football Season to all and to all a good night!
Bringin in the Atticus
Can’t argue with that. Except he wouldn’t play tackle with Jem. Pussy.
