the first game of the season is tonight on ESPN between South Carolina/NC State. I'm looking forward to see who starts at QB for the Gamecocks. I would think either Chris Smelley or Stephen Garcia.

Here'a weekend preview from a Big10 prespective LINK

Its usually more comical than insightful, like this:

quote:


Teams: Utah at Michigan
Time (TV): 3:30 pm (ABC/ESPN2)
Interest: 5
Cheer For: Michigan

Remember going to the fair and seeing the poster of "The Spider Lady" who supposedly has eight arms and legs? And then when you paid your buck and went in, you could tell it was fake? Well, the freak show we will see in this game is going to be 100% legit. The Carny Offense has come to Ann Arbor and they've parked their trailer at the north end of the stadium and they ain't moving for nothin'! This will be our first look at Rich Rodriguez's spread offense and I would recommend that you avoid taking a swig of anything while Michigan's offense is on the field--unless you enjoy the feeling of carbonated beverages passing through your nose. Too many people are picking Utah here, and they aren't even really considering it an upset. This is still Michigan, and they still have pride. I'll take the Wolverines by 10.

This may be the first time I have ever seen Buffalo favored in a game.

that's an interesting choice right there for Steve Spurrier

Smelley and Garcia are pretty good QB's in my opinion

Against UTEP? I think they'll get their asses beat based on past history.

NOTE: I don't know anything about either schools.

Buffalo has improved under Turner Gill. He was a serious candidate for the Nebraska job.

He probably won't be there after this year.

The story on Rivals.com said everybody thought Beecher was smarter than the other two, and wouldn't do things to lose the game. I guess that means he's not a gunslinger like Wild Man Blake Mitchell.

it will before the day is out and this is your "daily" preseason thread. not your "8:05 AM preseason thread." Boom on semantics.

I would argue it is still in fact preseason, so at 7:05 tonight the thread title should be changed to "Daily MSB FOOTBALL STARTED thread: 8/28"

Yup, marked improvement.

(I'm pretty sure improvement implies getting over .500%?)

Then I'm pretty sure you have no idea what the word "improvement" means.
