Had a cookout with dear friends for the South Carolina-Vandy Game...currently watching the Wazzu-BYU game...

It's impossible to overstate how happy I am right now!

Not really. They require a year of organic chem, one year of gen chem, one year of biology, one year of physics, and one year of english. I took 15 credit hours for 5 years. Now it's even more school, specialization, residency. I can't wait until they hand me my MD and I can start my own practice.

BYU dominated tonight. Washington was given so much yardage due to stupid personal fouls. Some of the new players on BYU team were getting a little too emotional. If BYU plays at this level all season, they'll be in great shape.

I didn't watch any of the game (past my bedtime), but I can't believe a Mike Leach team was held to 6 points. The over/under for the game was 65. I know Washington State wasn't good last year but their offense wasn't bad (45th nationally in points per game) and I figured with Leach they'd put up at least 3 touchdowns every game.

They were only put in field goal range by our personal fouls. The defense really had them shut down.

South Carolina is going to need to figure out a new strategy if they want QB Connor Shaw to last the season. If he keeps taking hits like he did last night then he's going to get injured every game and will eventually suffer a serious injury. There's also no way SC is going to be able to compete with LSU and some of the other top SEC teams if they don't have a passing game.

There's no such thing as a "typical" Alabama fan; any more than there is a typical football fan, blu-ray.com forum poster, or any other group of people one might feel tempted to stereotype.

2. i guess the other kid isn't a sports guy, eh?

LOL! There's a reason the state of Alabama has more national championships than any other state in modern history, including the last three years in a row. We really support our teams around here.

Didnt look like the other team touched it, so it would be downed when he touched the ball. Why no one blew the whistle is nearly as bad as his mental lapse.

definitely not the typical fan, but if you want tattoos, then this guys has them all beat.

[Show spoiler]

fyi, that's face paint he has on his face. it is NOT tattooed.

[Show spoiler]

i've met him before and he's a great guy. he usually wears a kilt to the games and is always happy to pose for pics or just hang out and chat.



we also have an australian on our team. his name is Jesse Williams and he has quite a collection of tattoos.

[Show spoiler]

he recently bench-pressed 600lbs in the weight room at the football complex.

It definitely hit the Towson return man but the play still should have been blown dead when the Kent State player recovered the ball because you can't advance a muffed punt.

It was a joke.

Lighten up, Francis.

And that's how it was called in the end. Kent State recovered the muff, and the ball was spotted for them at the Towson 7-yard line.

Michigan has suspended Fitzgerald Toussaint for Saturday's game vs. Alabama. Toussaint is Michigan's top returning running back and rushed for 1,041 yards last season. He pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of operating a vehicle while visually impaired on Tuesday after initially being charged with DUI.

Gotta admire Hoke's integrity on this one! Lesser coaches would not bench one of their best players in a game that will likely make or break their season championship hopes. Boo on the DA for accepting a reduced plea on DUI charges though. That's despicable.

Ever wonder where these kids get all the money to be covered in tats. They are not cheap.

well, the first guy is in his late 30s and i know he works.

and the player got his when he still lived in australia. his parents, both of them, also have tattoos so they could've paid for his. of course tattoos in australia may be cheaper than they are here. if so that would make them easier/cheaper to get.

Michigan State is clearly the better team, but Boise State is playing very opportunistic. You can tell that offense really misses Kellen Moore though. Speaking of which, props for making the Detroit roster.
