New Nike Uniforms Revealed Tomorrow

seevee, there IS a cure for it . . . in addition to scheduling Georgia (and winning), schedule Oregon and win and schedule someone like Oklahoma State and win (I'm trying to keep you from having to travel all the way to the SEC), all in the same season. Then win your bowl game.

In fact, you really don't have to win them all. Just play the losses tough and keep the score close - as long as there are 4 or 5 really good teams on the schedule, BSU will start getting HEAPS of respect. Why do you think we went 6-7 last year and are still even ranked by ANYONE? Because they know we played really good teams (even the eventual NC) and kept it respectable in every game. Heck, at one point we even led Auburn by 3 touch downs. Our total lack of coaching and strength and conditioning killed us.

BTW, seevee - most everyone on this forum is going to pull for BSU after September 3rd, and not just because of the game. I think most of us like what the coaching staff has done (not necessarily the former AD - we're not too proud of OUR former one either). BSU is good for college football, and I would have voted them into the (unfortunately non-existent) playoffs last year because they MIGHT be one of the best teams in football. UGA was definitely NOT one of the best, so I would not have wanted to see us in the playoffs.

So you see, we are not against BSU getting a fair shake - but it has to be fair in BOTH directions, not just one. Play the really GOOD teams, and win a lot of those games, and the respect will follow. I hate to say it, and I say it seriously not wanting to hurt your (or anyone else's)feelings, but if BSU continues to schedule only one or two good teams a year, I will continue to doubt BSU.

Well said.

Believe most people in CF do like BS.....we wanted their coaching staff so we certainly liked how they win......but.....see above post.

BSU gets plenty of love. Went back and reviewed their 2009 schedule just for fun. They did beat Oregon, However, if you take away Oregon, the combined W-L for other opponents was 55-71. Without the help of the powerhouse "Nevada" that W-L record would have been much worse. I don't even want to name some of these losses in the 71.

Serious note, BSU is a great football team. They can beat anyone on any given Saturday.That has never been the argument. The argument could they beat, all the teams in the SEC east, then possibly have to beat the champion from the West twice. For Instance, could they beat UGA, uf, ut, usc, (lsu, aub, or bama), and then turn around and beat one of the last 3 in the SEC championship. Realistically, could they do it? No.

I will say this. BSU could steam roll through the Big East.

O-Line and someone stepping up at WR at my biggest concerns. I hear you on safety play wlayton, but I like CTG's ability to overcome a weakness alot more than I do Bobo's.

GO DAWGS

I forgot to answer seevee's question. My biggest concern is DEPTH at O line and whether or not our DBs can stop Coastal Carolina. Kellen Moore probably IS licking his chops to get at our secondary. Our best hope is to put hats on Moore.

I'm officially not worried about the offense anymore other than that O line depth.

Anything good going on here with the blue man?

It's all good if you're into blue. Love the blue turf by the way. When I hear folks dis it, it makes me love it all the more.

I was just pondering the wonder of having so many football players on the roster who played HS ball in state. Idaho has about 1.6 mil spudites. BSU has 27 kids from in state, and about half of them will see time on the field in Atlanta. Makes me apreciate all the more what a great job our coaching staff does. Bet you wish you could say "coaching staff" and "proud" (in a positive way)in the same sentence regarding your team.

10 days my Dawgs, 10 days.
