    Common Man Predictions – Week 1

    Georgia Tech at Colorado - I think it's Colorado at GT. GT in the post Haynes King era without an experienced QB. It's going to be a rough year for them. Luckily, the Buff's don't have an experienced QB either. Colorado is also lacking a proven run game. I'm going with GT in a "defensive" game...

    The SEC thread

    Is the SEC really preventing the NFL players from coming back to the NCAA? They could go to plenty of teams like New Mexico State or Texas State. :p

    Preseason Playoff peek

    OK. Let's review the teams in AP poll ranked 11-20 and see who has a chance of making the playoffs. Let's start with the SEC this week. We have LSU at #11, 'Bama at #13 and Tennessee at #20. LSU plays Ole Miss in week 3 on the road and then comes home to take on the aggies in week 4. They...

    Preseason Playoff peek

    Preseason and all, I'm a skeptic until I see actual game play/stats. I'm unconvinced that 0uSux will have a good enough offense to overcome their schedule. Week 2 will tell us a lot about them. If they score 35+ points, I may become a believer. Until then, they will not make the playoffs (in my...

    The SEC thread

    It's my understanding that once you attend your first college class, your 5 years of eligibility start. So in these cases I'm assuming their 5 years aren't up yet. I guess they weren't good enough to make a roster and didn't want to play in the summer/spring league. I don't like it.

    Preseason Playoff peek

    This week I'll take a quick peek at the AP top 10 teams and comment on their chances of making the playoffs. I'll review the teams at 11-20 next week. Let's look at the Preseason top 10 from the AP poll. In theory, these 10 teams should make the playoffs, so let's take a quick look at them and...

    What are your feelings about this year’s team?

    It's the portal. The portal allows teams with money to reload every year. It's a type of parity but for only a certain number of teams.

    IYO, is anything less than a national championship a successful season in 2026?

    10 wins Beat 0uSux and a&m win at least 2 playoff games. That to me is a successful season.

    First INT of the season

    First INT of the year will go to a LB. Texas State QB won't have time to throw down field so will attempt to dump to back out of the backfield and get intercepted.

    What are your feelings about this year’s team?

    Well, my main concern is the defense. A new coach usually means a new system, the D has to learn and I feel there is a potential for mistakes especially early in the season. Close games could be lost on a single play because of a blown coverage. Other than that, I see us getting better every...

    Texas Longhorns Fall Camp 2026

    I can't pick a player who is going to jump out this fall especially the D. With Coach Boom, I don't know what he's going to bring and who will absorb it the best. I do hope we don't have a bend but don't break D. I'm pretty sure we don't but I see some blow assignments that results in points...

    Of the six major bowl games, which is your favorite? Most prestigious?

    I agree that the Rose Bowl used to be the best, but with the playoffs and the teams jumping conferences, it's become just another bowl game.

    Non-SEC Football

    It's too early for me to really evaluate the teams, but I will say I don't think Indiana belongs in the top 5. Not sure it belongs in the top 10 either but we shall see. If my math is correct and my memory (of our schedule), Texas will play 4 of his top 10 during the season. Too bad the...
