1. Hawai'i Warriors
Bring back the Rainbow Warriors! The "Rainbow" was dropped a few years ago at the behest of a former football coach who felt that it sounded kind of gay hampered recruiting.

That coach, of course, was none other than June Jones.

2. And what's wrong with OSU's nickname?
Perhaps you could explain it to me.

9. TCU should win ..
first game of the year, they're playing at home, and the Beavs have got an inexperienced QB. All they have to do is control Rodgers. That's why they're favored by 13.5

Of course, it would be different if they were playing in Corvallis.

Do the Horned Toads ever play a tough game on the road?

Check out this list of 2010 road softies:

SMU
CSU
UNLV
Utah
New Mexico

Yep, cupcakes for a cupcake..

10. Utah ain't a softie.
TCU barely beat them at home last year. And remember, they're going to the Mighty PAC Whatever next year.

And as a matter of fact, tomorrow's game is not at home either. It is here:



MIM should appreciate that.

16. Still a home game..
how far is the TCU campus from Jones' monument to greed....maybe 40 miles? That's like having Stanford play at Candlestick....

22. I keep waiting for this matchup....
Edited on Mon Sep-06-10 04:11 PM by Dulcinea
The USC Trojans vs. the South Carolina Gamecocks!

The announcers would have a field day: "Good coverage by the Trojans on that play..."

The Thundering Herd is a great name!
