5. tOSU made a true profit after paying out all expenses and for all other sports programs of something in the ball park of $100,000,000.00 last year.
My final point is this, a living stipend increase so that a football player can take his girlfriend out on a date or his Parnets out to dinner atfter a game is not enough to consider this a proffesional sport. Aliving stipend would be no more than what the average student could get working for $10-$12/hr. It's not much extra and for as much as the top Universities football programs bring in at pure Profit levels it seems warranted.

4. The break down with the dollars and cents.
a. Average hours per week spent on sport: 55.4 hours per week on average
b. $13,000 per year at $6,500 per Semester
c. This equals roughly $4.50/ hour.

3. typical day for a Football student athlete. Wake up at 5AM to get in AM Work outs. Get done and showered for weigh -ins and training tables.Go and have team breakfast at campus, go to class, classes done @ 1200 go to training tables again team lunch, go to trainers for rehab/treatment, get taped, films by postion 1 hour, team meeting and review of opponent and plan of attack,30 minutes, 2 hours of practice followed up by half an hour of conditioning. Weight room post practice work out, trainers room for ice and rehab/taping/recovery. Showers and Training tables, weigh out for the day, Team dinner. Study tables, 2 hours timed, Training tables Team snack, Film time. After this it would be about 9pm to 10pm at night depending upon how long I would try to watch films and how tired I would be. So from 5 am to roughly 8 am is 3 hours, less the four hours at school, plus the other nine hours on average dedicated to the sport, less the two for study tables makes 7 hours in the PM. For a total of 10 conservative estimated hours per weekday. Well include 5 hours perday on the weekend for films/training tables/trainer/games/weight room/conditioning ect..ect... which again is a very conservative estimate. (if you don't think these numbers are conservative ask anyone who has played D-I football.) This brings our estimated total to 60 hours per week. This estimate may only change for some in the spring to a few less hours, but you typically are putting in a lot of extra hours in the gym or training or films. So to say this is consistant year round for most Football players would probably be acurate. 60 hours per week for at least 40 weeks for year. Two -a day's are football 24/7 for twenty days. Which leaves roughlynine weeks in which you have christmas and summer break, but if you want to survive in the sport you continue to work-out and most football players stay on or around the campus in the summer. We'll give another conservative estimate on this one of probably, minimally 3-5 hours per day toward football on those nine weeks.

1. There is no Title IX argument as it applies to men and women colligiate athletics with the exclusion of men's football. There is not another female sport with as many athletes to compare apples to apples and when this was implamented at the start it back-fired and women's sports actually shark because they had to cut lot's of other men's programs to keep a viable football program exist.
2. I have lived as a studnet athlete under Full athletic Grant/tuition/aide. My schools was paid for, my room and board was paid for and my books, healthcare, room and board, and food were paid for. With the full amount of my athletic scholarship totaling somewhere in the ball park of $6,500 per semester, multiplied by 5 years as I red shirted my first year, my total scholarship was worth around $65,000. not bad. I didn't have to inherit this debt and I got to play a sport I love.

1 Oklahoma @ 5 Florida State:
This one is tough. Hmmm do you ask out the hot chick and work on getting there through 4-5 dates (Oklahoma), or do you hit on her drunk friend who is not quite as hot but primed and ready for a wild night of adult pleasure? (FSU)???This is a tough call, but I think for this one I give home field advantage and go with FSU???What can I say I'm a sucker for drunk chic's!

2 Alabama vs. North Texas:
As Tina Fey once told Jimmy Fallen??? "Just sing the song already!!" This game was over before it started just like Tina knowing before the Late Night skit that Jimmy would try to sing on Mother's day. Alabama wins and the newbies get some shots in. Roll tide by a lot.

3 LSU @ 25 Mississippi State:
I must first sit down to a nice healthy helping of my plate of crow on this one. Obviously someone in Vegas knows more than this putz does. God that tasted horrible!! With that being said I have lost all hope for the Bull Dog nation! Never make me eat crow and then think I'm voting for you! Tigers practice for Mardi Gras on this game and the only good thing for the visiting MSU fans is the cool beads their wives will get to leave with!!

4 Boise State @ Toledo:
Someone called the 407 and got a hold of Klinger cause "Holy Toledo!" almost happened!! Toledo is no slouch team and should not be slept walked against. I think BSU should have no problem putting up the Win here but if there over-looking them it could be the trap game of the week. Klinger's Rockets lose again with respect to the greater foe, but they still have reason for beers and dogs at Tony Pacos.

6 Stanford @ Arizona:
Stanford has the coolest qb name in college football, crimeny sakes what coach wouldn't want a stud qb with the last name Luck!? Arizona is like that one person you knew that if the y just did this or just did that they'd be so much better looking, but they just never seem to do it. It's safe to say I'll take Luck over what might have been in this one. Stanford lays the Lumber on the cats!

7 Wisconsin @ Northern Illinois: Next week Wisconsin will be playing sisters of the poor!? WTF!! Wisconsin!! Start the season already its freakin week 3!! Badgers run for a lot against Northern Illinois???blah..blah..blah???

8 Oklahoma State @ Tulsa ??? Okie State rounds up the wagons once again but this time show a little mercy by giving the rookies some air time in the second half. Yawn!! Okie state wins..

Thanks HM, would love to but for now I'll enjoy doing this for the true fans! :)

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.

Thanks Bro!

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!

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Go with the Soccer method and hire an octopus!!

12. ECU as usual like to be the drunk girl at the party, you can't just throw her out like a dude it's just not right, and she's pretty darn entertaining to watch.

19. Mississippi St. DOes there grand ole tailgating on the road and produce as many DUI's as points in Memphis. Ole' Miss by 35+.

20. Missouri pulls it out in the end and wins by 7.
22. Florida gets four quaters of the Gator chomp after 8 months off. Teh swamp earns it's reputation cause as a home opener just like a swamp, this game stinks all around. UF over FAU by 20+.
23. Auburn manages to get time off for good behaviot from the NCAA to be able to field a team in 5 minutes that is still able to beat the snot out of Utah State. Tigers big ober Utah State by 45+.
24. West Virginia is still too much for Marshall and is able to creep out a win. This is probably one of the best season opens all around. WVU over Marshall by 3 to 7 points.

25. USC is making it rain greek fire over the Golden Gophers while the song girls sing songs of cheer. Troy Reigns supreme on the land and in the air proving to much for the lower teir B1G team. USC by 35+.
