i'm glad you can use that to feel superior to your mizzou alum friend

No

It's the same reason conquerors throughout history puffed up their opponents: It makes them look better to beat a worthy opponent than to kill defenseless children that get ranked beating a bunch of shitty teams in whatever B-league shithole they're in.

Appalachian St. was an incredibly good football team and worthy opponent.

Thanks Lenny, it was fun to watch. Kirby is animated.

We cling to our guns and religion too.

I'm still getting used to being in the SEC. I don't really feel like I know who to root for or against. We don't really have any rivals in the league yet, so it's pretty easy to casually cheer for SEC teams against non conference opponents. I won't cheer for Tennessee or South Carolina though. That being said, I don't like any Big 12 school besides Iowa State.

he is...i still think that ended up essentially being a great trade for uga/bama

It's true I guess that Mizzou doesn't have the rivalries yet. Good point MD

I'm so glad college football is back.

Very true. Both seem to have benefited. The Alabama linebackers looked slightly smaller to me but much faster, almost like Ha Ha came back and is playing linebacker now.

yeah reuben foster apparently dropped like 15 pounds...i know a few of the others are probably around 230-235 so yeah they're pretty good in coverage

our d-line has just been lights out the last few years which is huge...before that we really struggled to get a pass rush and that makes a world of difference

going to t-town for the game saturday...i'm usually not a fan of going to the weaker games, but got face value on a ticket and didn't go to one last year

As someone who has attending an SEC game on his bucket list, I wouldn't care if the foe I got was some I-AA scrub. How many Bama games have you been to?

Finally recovered from the FSU game. Loved what a saw from Francios.

Man, that second half was special.

I can't wait for FSU vs Clempson. Going to be epic.

3 of my 4 playoff teams I would want would be Bama, Clemson and FSU. The 4th can be the best of the rest.

Yep. Agree with everything you said. FSU vs Clemson will be majestic.
