Second of all please inform me when the BYU Boise line opens so I can bet a months salary on BYU covering that "20 point spread"

lol i forgot they play byu, and ps boise did beat byu by 23 last year..i wouldnt go beating any salaries yet

Yeah BYU minus a top 10 QB

Doesn't change the fact we almost dropped 60 on them.

Doesn't change the fact that if they had Taysom Hill they wouldn't have lost by 20. Not to mention they're actually playing at home.

They actually lost by 25. Anyway, the QB they had that stepped in played pretty good, & even if they had Taysom, boise still would have won.

As far as this year, I don't know who is going to win, but it's going to be a good game.

technically the new school season for all sports starts today (welcome navy!!)

a look at all the fun of week1:


Thursday September 3rd:

UCF versus FIU (cbssports)
line: UCF -16

commentary: not sure how i feel about the line, ucf doesnt blow teams out, but fiu really isnt good. The question remains does ucf rebuild or reload

Villanova versus UConn (espn3)

commentary: vill is actually a pretty good team for the fcs level, a comfortable win here will show uconn is heading in the right direction

Duke Versus Tulane (cbssports)
line: duke -16

commentary: tulane actually matched the production of duke last year, but tulane was turnover crazy...duke is rebuilding, tulane isnt playing all freshmen like last year... this could be our first statement game of the year, i think tulane at the very least covers

Game of interest:
Vandy vs WKU

commentary: would kill c-usa's momentum day1 of college football

Friday Sept. 4th:

SMU versus Baylor (ESPN):
line: baylor -33

Commentary: baylor's replacing its qb, and its OC. smu's adding a legitimate coach with a more experienced qb..does SMU have a chance?? can they atlest cover the -33 line? we will find out

Game of interest:
Boise vs Washington (ESPN)
line : Boise -12

commentary: boise is favored in everygame this year, if they win here we are going to be watching every boise game hoping they lose against teams they are favored to beat by 20. this is their best chance at losing, a loss here and every AAC team controls there own destiny and side note first meeting with there old coach.

Saturday, September 5 2015

Navy versus Colgate (cbssports)= First game as league members

Temple versus Penn state (espn)
line: PSU -5

Commentary: GAME OF THE WEEK...temple has a legitimate chance to make a huge statement national and in the state...they have the team to do it and PSU will almost surely come in overrated. this game could set the tone for the league week 1

tulsa versus fau (cbssports)
line: tulsa -6

commentary: please don't lose

ECU vs Towson (espn3)

Commentary: are the backups really better, is kurt really a better qb with a stronger arm than shane carden? we will find out

USF vs florida A&M (espn3)

commentary: 1 year of taggart, blown out by a fcs...year 2 struggles to barely beat a average fcs...year 3? this is by far the worst fcs of the 3, will usf finally beat a FCS comfortably..how will the new qb look, whether flowers or a potentially eligible asiantii

Memphis vs Missouri state (espn3)= if you enjoy blowouts with out matched opponents

Cincy vs Alabama A&M (espn3)= if you enjoy blowouts with out matched opponents

UH vs Tenn Tech (espn3)

commentary: first game with Herman how will it all look?

Sunday, September 6 2015

Marshall versus Purdue
line: Marshall -11

Commentary: another year another joke schedule..this will be top 2 hardest games for Marshall...WKU is the only team they play that you can say will make a bowl for sure...a loss here and they could come in at 12-1 and could be legitimately passed up by a 4 loss AAC/MWC team

If Tulsa does what we should against FAU then we blow them out! If we have a so so game we win by 10. If we lose to FAU then we should cut our throats because it can't get much worse.

You are obviously missing the whole point of the discussion

Villanova made it to the FCS quarterfinals last year and they have the 2014 FCS player of the year.

A UConn win is not guaranteed.

USF will and had better rout FAMU. Last time USF played FAMU, in 2011 I think, USF scored 70 points and could have scored 100. USF will win this game by AT LEAST 4 TD's. The talent discrepancy is so large.

We won 70-17 and had our third string QB in, who if I remember correctly had two touchdowns. If we wanted 100, we would have gotten it easily. Our staters were out by the half... then again, that was the last time that basically an entire Leavitt team was on the field. Skippy was the coach but all the starters were Leavitt.

USF won't score 70 on them but will win comfortably.
