Nice slate. Missouri is a blank slate to me right now-hard to feel how much Gabbert will be missed. Will be interesting to see how much love they get here.

Northwestern State vs. LSU: I could have put any second tier program there vs. LSU and the outcome is always the same. Hey LSU!! You can't go from fireworks to firecrackers! It doesn't work that way!! Go against the grain in the SEC and play another big out of conference game! Oh well thanks for week 1. LSU by a lot!

Alabama vs. Penn. State: Rematch from last year with close to the same results. Saban should try the ice cream on campus, it's pretty darn good. Maybe that'll sweeten that sour puss look up for the cameras at his post game conference.

Charleston Southern vs. Florida State: Can we get a fly over at Doak for this one or what!?!?! I mean come on!! WTF am I coming for if you schedule these teams and I don't even get a flippin fly over!! The Noles by a lot!!

Stanford vs. Duke: Unfortunately this is not a chess match so it's gonna be about that exciting. Stanford takes the beer and cheerleaders and has their way with them too, after having their way with Duke on the field. Stanford by a lot!

Oregon State vs. Wisconsin: The epic battle is to be told, who will win, The Beavers, or the Badgers!? It's gonna be a hairy one but I think Wisconsin will pull off something greater than a close shave to beat the Beavers. As a matter of fact I'd say the Beavers end up getting waxed by the Badgers!

Arizona vs. Okie State: Okie state Cowboys round up the wagons and handle business against the Wildcats out on the range and have a little BBQ with the Cats afterward which leaves everything to smell like General Tao's.

Fresno State vs. Nebraska: Corn Huskers' party down with some grain alcohol in Lincoln. Nebraska gets another warm-up before the gauntlet which is to be the B1G Ten.

VT vs. ECU: Hokies do the Hokey Pokey all over the field and "that's what it's all about!"

South Carolina vs. Georgia: Not to be clich??, but I think lots of people are gonna have "Georgia on their mind." just to gauge whether the debate about Boise should even be a debate this year. I say Georgia loses to South Carolina, but the question is how handedly they lose to South Carolina???

Nevada vs. Oregon: This is Oregon's revenge (explicit word)! To phrase it another way, let's say Oregon just got out of a relationship that ended badly with LSU and Nevada happens to be one of LSU's best friend's. Does that pretty much sum it up for everybody!?

Arkansas vs. New Mexico: Yuck!! Come on people!! Who the (expletive) is scheduling this crap anyway! Hawgs!!

Toledo vs. tOSU: Ohio State continues its domination of the State and send the rockets home to Klinger at Tony Pacos! "Holy Toledo!!" Buckeyes roll through week 2.

Nice!

Mississippi State vs. Auburn: I can't believe Miss. State is only favored by 7.5 on this game. Wake up Vegas!! Auburn just barely won against a team that has won 5 games in just as many years!! Mississippi State treats Auburn like a one night stand and don't even provide the money for a cab ride home! MSU big over Auburn.

Michigan State vs. FAU: This one isn't even worth typing, just go with the Mascots on this one and picture the carnage!! A Spartan versus an Owl?!?! Just like a fat lady at a buffet it's gonna get ugly early fast and often! Sparty by a lot!

UAB vs. Florida: I'm really running low on motivation here guys! Gators chomp all day long!

West Virgina vs. Norfolk State: Another Barn Burner, West Virginia! Yawn!!

Mizzou vs. ASU: The Devils and their fans do the violator symbol with their fingers to the Tiger fans and both Mizzou's men and women fans tighten their cheeks up at sight of this. Kinda like their fans; Mizzou never seems to find there rhythm and loosen up on the field. ASU by 3.

Ball State vs. South Florida: No jokes here, "Just the facts" Bulls run wild in the streets.

BYU vs. Texas: The BYU faithful show up in Texas with ten dollars and the Ten commandments and manage not to break either one in the lone star state. The only good thing about this game for the Longhorn faithful who will get to watch it in HD on the Longhorn network will see their teams first loss on the network in HD. BYU pulls it out and the Longhorns have many uphill battles to overcome this season.

TCU vs. Air Force: Tough call here???I don't know why but after watching Baylor tear apart TCU's secondary, I gotta go with the Air Force on this one. I say it's close, but too much to correct in one week.

Others games:
Cincinnati vs. Tennessee: Too bad the Vols didn't play this one at Cincinnati, they could have at least enjoyed some Skyline Chili on Spaghetti, but now they won't even get to enjoy that while their team loses! Bearcats D proves too much as the Vols find themselves still hating Lane Kiffin.

Wofford vs. Clemson: Duhh!!!! If I properly spelled your University and my Spell Check is still highlighting your schools name you aren't gonna win! Oh yes, I'm going to market this rule called the spell check rule!

Cal. vs. Colorado: There's a fight I'd like to see go down! A bear vs. a buffalo in a cage match!! Gosh I bet PETA would have a field day with that one I mean just the logistics of it though..Oh yeah Cal all over the Buff's in the game.

NMSU vs. Minnesota: This is like watching Helen Keller perform a juggling act with chainsaws! It's so horrible I just might have to watch! Let's get out the coin, give her a flip and ???Oh dear..I sure hope Helen can catch better than me; we'll give the Golden Gophers this one.

Purdue vs. Rice: how Ironic that the "Boilermakers" are playing Rice!! For those of you who are not in to the culinary arts, you boil rice! Same thing happens here! Rice get Boiled over by the Boilermakers and everyone has rice to go with the General Tao's. (See Arizona vs. Oklahoma State comments)

NCSU vs. Wake: Interesting game if you live in the Triangle Research Park Area! For the rest of the nation Walter Cronkite's greatest news reel moments will be airing. Have fun with this one Raleigh!! NCSU all the way in this one by 10+.

Hawaii vs. Washington: Hawaii can't believe they had to fly all the way up to Washington in this rainy weather to do what they could have done in warm sunny Hawaii!! Rainbow Warrior's all up in that Husky (female dog in Heat).

Some Family Guy at ya!

Southern Miss. vs. Marshall: You know what really grinds my gears, when the panel of a conference gets together and comes up with a name for the conference that would make you feel un-American to just look at that whole conference and go; Why?! So with a deep breath, say yeah go Conference USA!! Southern...I guess! And that's what really grinds my gears, back to you Tom!

Eastern Illinois vs. Northwestern: These two teams will be playing at a latitude of 42.049972 and a longitude of -87.678685!!! Holy compass Rose! It's amazing with as much territory these two teams are claiming they could even find one another. Northwestern, I HAVE SPOKEN!

Nice!

Thanks Bro!

Last but not least

Utah vs. USC: Utah gets a warm welcome in southern California from the Trojans, and the Ute's say thank you. USC shows some PAC-12 pageantry before the game and again the Ute's gratefully say thank you again. Fireworks before the game PAC-12 commissioners on site, handshakes, meals, and cameras to take it all in. Again the Ute's show there host great hospitality and smile and say thank you. Kick-off and the Ute's stop being so gracious and start taking everything in sight, including a win.
