well, well, morte.......nice to see you back.....you speak like a fan who would really like to see your Irish in a real football conference.......too bad your team is too gutless to join when they had the chance.........

ah, y, isn't it always true, in conference or without, that teams are beaten by good competition? just askin'

and morty, i got a confernce for ya' nd braggarts... mid american! then nd would be in a bowl every year! go cmu or si or ball state! he he he!

Isn't the opening game Boise St. and Va tech?

Is Tressel going to give Pryor another shot at QB, or are they gonna move him out to WR where he belongs?[/quote
Tressel will be flexible; similar to Mack in Texas.
I think the kid has a future at QB.

I've seen quite a bit of Pryor, simply because OSU gets lots of national/TV exposure, and the kid is definitely a gifted athlete. He runs well, is quick and elusive, and has shown good hands when they've split him out as a receiver in some special formations. But his lack of accuracy and inability to throw downfield, and his seemingly confusion attempting to read defenses, leaves me wondering.

Pryor played great football in their bowl game....lets not forget that. The injury that he was playing with is close to 100% now. They reload every year on defense. They tried to open up the playbook last year and I am sure it will continue this year. If you respect good football there is no reason to hate OSU.

If LSU could find a QB they would be scary good. GA has a very young QB so ??? there. My beloved Bama has a ton of questions on defense, especially at secondary.

I look for Ohio ST to go undefeated in Big Ten, with adequate play from Pryor.

Toss up between Texas and Oklahoma in Big 12.

Pac 10, i'm leaning toward Stanford, ever so slightly.

I think ACC wont be involved in national picture.

I'm picking Boise ST to upset VA Tech in opener. But alas the computers bite them in the butt at the end of the season. Strength of schedule.

I'm looking for Pitt to be the surprise team in the national picture.


BCS National Championship Game to feature, Ohio ST vs either Bama,Florida,Texas or Oklahoma


just my 2 cents worth

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Oh, do we have to hear this Cajun shit again? Do you guys still prod your caged Tiger in front of the opposing teams bench so that you can intimidate them? GEEZ

Mort

I would LOVE to tailgate at Notre Dame if Alabama were playing them in South Bend.
Would also love to tailgate in Baton Rouge. I have partied there, but not during football season. Love me some o dat cajun cooking.

Ahhhh Mort Mort Mort, alas you are correct in that Bear Bryant never beat The Irish. However, Cornelius Bennett and the boys took them to the woodshed in the mid eighties. In the Paul W. Bryant Museum there is a rather large painting of the infamous Bennett sack on Mr. Beuerline[still don't know if i spelled it right].

But even though we lost in the 70s, those were some epic battles. My hats off to all the participants.

you'd have to come to Southern California (Go Bruins) to tailgate with me....or to Oakland
