Gig 'em Aggies, Go Beavers....and Penn State is a 10 point under-dog to Virginia.

Houston was horrible last week, losing 30-13 to Texas State, a team in their first year in FBS. No run defense whatsoever, and Piland couldn't hit the broad side of a barn (17/44 passing). I expect Lousiana Tech to steamroll them by 40.

Larken24 · Sep 3, 2012, 10:55 AM

That's what happens to Houston when they don't have Case Kennum anymore

That is also what happens when you hire an internal candidate for the HC position who has never even been a coordinator. Now after just one game, they fired their OC (who had never before coached at the FBS level). What a train wreck.

Missouri DT Sheldon Richardson says Georgia plays 'old-man football'

"I watched that game. I turned it off, too," Richardson said. "It's* like watching Big Ten football. It's old-man football."..

"If we execute," he said, "nobody in this league can touch us. Period."

This. I do believe GA will beat Mizzou. But to suggest they could beat every team in the SEC boggles my mind. Even on an off day, AL would pound them. If I were Mizzou, I would be worried about Vandy even.

At least he used the qualifier IF. That way, when they get poned, he will look slightly less bad.

The young man must be a future politician, his Mizzou football career certainly isn't going to go anywhere.

They better be counting their blessings that they're in the east division and not the west of the SEC.

I have to say I cant wait for the Iowa State v Iowa game. Although my hatred for the Hawkeyes is strong, one of if not the only team I do not root for in non-conference games.

The ISU / Iowa game is a huge grudge match. And since I have a son with an Iowa State degree, I will be yelling for Cy to take the hawkeyes to the woodshed. Sure hope it happens.

mattcoldagelli · Sep 3, 2012, 08:30 PM

Those Purple Guys are gonna have their hands full with Vandy. If we didn't have a night game, too, I'd go check that one out.

Aggies taunt Gators with Gainesville billboard

And totally typical of Aggies. What a bs move. C'mon Gators!

IlliniKat91 · Sep 4, 2012, 09:49 AM

Yeah... time to cheer for Florida.

FeelYourPaign · Sep 4, 2012, 09:51 AM

Guess the Aggies feel that it is better to pick your enemies, rather than let them just find you over time. What an amazing move. Buy the bulletin board, then put your stupid quote right in front of the other team. hoo boy.

DrewD007 · Sep 4, 2012, 10:04 AM

Article says Texas A&M had nothing to do with it. So just pretentious on part of their fans.

Even so, Gator fans will be furious. Having lived in Florida for several years, I know first hand Florida fans are the most rude and hateful bunch you'll ever meet (on par with PSU). They have zero tolerance for anyone else opinion and are firm in the belief they are always in the right. This game is being played at A&M, but just wait till the Aggies come to the swamp. It will be ugly regardless of this Saturday's outcome. BTW, it had to be an out of town billboard company that put it up, a local will be burned out

I've already seen Aggies on my Facebook loving it. A&M fans (alums, really) are at the top of the arrogance chart. Give me
Michigan, tOSU, PSU any day. Actually, the other SEC schools, too.
