If you want a copy, send me a PM wiht your address and I'll be happy to mail you one.

I'll take you up on that - but only if I can send some funds to cover your costs.

PM sent.....

GO Gators!

I thought Ohio State would drop after the news about Braxton Miller but they're still ranked 5. What do the numbers in parenthesis behind the names of the first four teams mean ?

It's the total votes for the #1 ranking each team received.

The Aggies are goin' down hard Thursday night... I'm hoping it will be over before it gets dark.

I've got to call around to the sports bars, though... we're not ponying up for the SEC network.

Oh look... the new banner's up.

Yo John,

LOVE the ol' ball coach.

Not rooting against the Cocks....rooting for aTm. There is a difference!

If aTm wins (unlikely) - just like that we are up half a game on an SEC East rival. Nothing personal but no one is picking us to win the East this year so gotta do what we have to do.

Of course we still have to play you as well as those dirty Dawgs! Both games should be fantastic.

Regarding the SEC Network - your cable provider should already have it by now - have you checked recently?

Now here is a nice feature with the Ol' Ball Coach, coming on tomorrow night at 8pm - hope you get a chance to watch.

Preseason rankings are as much based on name as anything else. Regardless of reality you can always expect to see teams like OSU and USC in the preseason top-25. It's like ESPN's wish list, ratings are better when the big names are ranked.

Baz, Baz, Baz... rooting for the Aggies in this game is rooting against the Cocks!

I believe in only rooting for one's own team... in the interest of good karma, you understand.

I can't believe it all starts tomorrow.
Stoked!

WDE!

I have to say, I like the start of the season. But I know it will be a long one.

[A930Rocket]

I couldn't watch after the third quarter. What a beating.

[mattdavis11]

I'm in awe. The Commodore fans boo'ed the players at half. That's disrespectful. Some one needs to whip those smart kid's asses.

Would have loved to have seen TAMU give the real UT a beat down like they did at USC tonight, but I'm not sure they play Tennessee this year.

Still can't get over the the vandy kids, that's wrong.

Hotty Toddy.

Yikes... the Aggies brought their A-game (and we brought a C- at best), for sure... kudos to them... and to the great job Kevin Sumlin and his staff is doing.

I heard he got hold of something out of USA Today that said they were one of the most overrated teams in the country. He held it up in the locker room and it became a big part of their inspiration. They rocked.

The Ol' Ball Coach was very straightforward about it all (rightfully called it a mismatch) and exasperated in the postgame interview... it was almost comical... my wife and I always get a chuckle out of it when he's like this and when he yanks off the headphones and visor.

Despite paying for the sports package, I apparently don't get the SEC Network. "I'm sorry sir, you have to subscribe to the super special sports package". Effing AT&T Uverse, now I get to waste my time on the phone with those morons.

[wdfifteen]

Found out half an hour before the game that whatever sports package I have doesn't include SEC.

[onewhippedpuppy]

Not much of a sports package huh? I also don't get many of the MLB channels, and some others as well.

[weseeeee]

Kennyfootball? Texas A&M has a new QB and that young man can play some football. Nice win. Saturday morning at 8;30am UCF vs Penn State in Dublin. I hope the Knights can recover from the departure of QB Blake Bortles. Next week they play Missouri, tough first couple weeks.

Matt and Patrick,

Are you sure?

You can double check by using this webpage:

Good luck!

AWESOME game last night!

Wherever I go in Charleston, that's the A&M bar because I think I'm the only alum here.

Spent my day watching games. My UCF team lost a close one to Penn State in Dublin but showed they still have some game after losing their QB to the Jacksonville Jags. I was going to go to watch Florida play but they are in a weather delay from hell so I'm glad I didn't go.
