Just my take on football, the high school and college variety. I'm not a pro guy, as I have to limit my football obsession somehow!

Finally a 2nd post
It is not that I don’t make time to watch and read and listen to football and all the associated hype and analysis, it is just hard to find the time to WRITE what about it.
Opening weekend started with a BANG as Texas A&M took out South Carolina in dominating fashion. Didn’t see that coming. A&M scored a hundred and took their foot off the gas in the 4th…
Georgia went to the half tied with Climpson 21-all, but then stomped on them with their boot heel, thanks to the Gurly man. Dogs get South Carolina this week in an elimination game for the East…maybe.
Bama looked mediocre against West Va and then OK against FAU. Tide gave up some real passes to Clint Tricket, but they don’t play anybody until Florida in a few weeks and the jury is out on the Gators.
UF had their game with Idaho called because of weather and it will not be rescheduled. The pounded Easter Michigan in week 2, but it was EM…Kentucky this week will be a much better test.
FSU escaped Oklahoma State in Dallas. Cowboys were in it to the very end and their QB Walsh (now out for the season) was terrific. FSU has the horses, but it remains to be seen if they have the drive and discipline.
UCLA was highly touted, but lucked out a W at UVA and then squeaked past MEMPHIS in LA…yikes.
Oregon got in a groove late against Michigan St and pulled away. Likely the kings of the Pac12. USC has been good 1st 2 weeks.
Ohio St lost to Va Tech in the horseshoe Way over rated and have a RB at QB. Wisconsin folded late against LSU and Nebraska had to have a miracle to beat McNeese State in Lincoln. Big10 is worse than I thought and I had a low opinion to start with. Penn State is rising under James Franklin. Big W with a FG as time expired against UCF. How crazy is that sentence?
Oklahoma and Baylor will duke it out for the big12. Sooners get Tennessee this week. Vols are improving, but Norman will probably be unpleasant.
Vanderbilt has regressed to the bad old days. Temple crushed them and then Ole Miss had their way as well. Looking like Dores will replace Kentucky and Arkansas at the bottom of the SEC latrine.
Auburn will be dangerous again. At this point I like them over Bama, but we have a few months for each team to evolve and grow.
On the prep side of 1FootIn football, Miami Washington has defeated 2 out of state powers and then beat Miami Central (who had beat 2 OOS powers as well). Looks like Tornados are near the top of the Fla pecking order. So is St Thomas Aquinas, who gets Don Bosco New Jersey this week. I watched the movie When the Game Stands Tall (or something like that) about Concord DeLaSalle. They play Byrnes, SC tomorrow night. I expect Byrnes to upset the wine trays in NoCal . My Crestview Bulldogs are sucking wind. Ensworth appears to be the alpha male of Tennessee, beating Louisville Trinity in the opener. Brentwood Academy hosts Cinci St X this week. St X is an Ohio power…Friendship Christian gets rival Trousdale County tomorrow night, looking forward to that one.
