sorry to burst the bubble!! but Michigan will go to NC and not only that but they'll win it!!!!!!! MOJO/GS v.s SHWERIN/SHAHHOUMAN!!!
but again i'm more college basketball fan!
DUKE!!!!!!!

Last time our two teams met MSU vs Duke, MSU avenged an 8 point loss at Duke in 2005, by beating Duke in the NCAA tourney that year in the sweet 16. What was further impressive was that MSU was the #5 seed while Duke was the #1 seed. Later on they upset Kentucky the #2 seed but finally lose in the final 4 to UNC. Tom Izzo is not coach K but he has done a nice job with that program. In the last 7 years they won a national championship in 2000, went to three straight final fours from 2000,2003, four straight big 10 titles, 3 2nd place finishes, and a final four apparance back in 2005. That is very impressive if you ask me.

Sweetie you better stick to college basketball if you think Michigan is winning a title. They will lose to someone trust me that is classic Michigan football. There are just too many better teams than Michigan right now like the following USC, LSU, Texas, and WVU to name four teams that will probably take Michigan.

I know what you are talking about bro I'm very good at betting on college football. I usually make 2-3,000 a season in profits generally speaking. I have been doing it for four years now and my worst year I made like $2100 bucks. I jsut know the game inside and out because I played it at a high level in high school, and I also watch a ton of college football. In fact if you want me to make some pics for you please lie me know I will be glad to help you out. I usually win about 70% of my games which is very good. I also only bet enough money so that if I lose I have no problems paying it back. The trick is that you need to know what your limits are and don't go above it.

I think Mizzou can be a dark horse in the Big 12 this year. Texas and OU are still obviously better but they can easily finishe 3rd or 4th in that conference. I don't know much about KU except their HC needs to get on a diet fast lol

I waited this long so I could post this prophetic message...something you can pass down to your children:

California will beat USC at Berkeley this year. We will go to the Rose Bowl.

That is all for now.

cal is gettin sc at home in the wrong year. They need Lynch to be able to beat them. Also, lets say hypothetically they beat SC, then the only rose bowl appearance for them will be at UCLA's home game where the bruins are gonna whoop some serious a$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!

Lynch was in the NFL draft this year he doesn't play for Cal anymore. Now as for UCLA hell ya baby I"m with you! I love UCLA but I still think that UCLA is just too powerful they are going to beat everyone this year. They have the #1 and #2 RB in the nation the kid from Oaks Christian, and this other kid Joe McNight from Louisana(the #1 back in the nation) who picked SC over LSU. THey just are way too stacked my friends it is going to be a tough battle for 2nd place in the tough Pac 10.

khob manam manzooram hamin bood digeh!! He is in the NFL, so he is not there anymore when cal needs him the most. They had him last year when SC was the host. Thats what I meant by the "wrong" year.

Yeah the guy from oaks christian is the son of a former UCLA player, I mean marc tyler. The thing is I see all these rankings from scout and rivals but I wanna see them play before passing judgement. they have all these RB's so what?? the running game was non existent last year. The UCLA defense opened the can of whoopa$$ on them! I was watchin that 13-9 game a few weeks ago and it was amazing! It wasnt like there was blown coverege, turnovers by booty or gable or any trick plays. It was "smash mouth, in your face biatch" football! UCLA just plain simple kicked some royal booty

bro do you even watch Cal football? granted Lynch was amazing but he was not the team. We have a loaded backfield and an even more talented receiving corps with an experienced QB. At least if you are going to attack Cal, focus on the D...that's the only inexperienced unit.

btw granted UCLA beat USC (that made us co-pac 10 champions haha) but you guys followed it up w/ an embarrassing loss to a horrible FSU. That's inconsistency right there...But here's to you guys beating the trees though.

i bet u didnt watch that FSU game. If there was ever a misleading score in the history of college football, that would be it!! UCLA was killing them. A bunch of freshman mistakes turned into a huge # of points for the seminoles. You wont be seeing those kinda mistakes anymore. Also UCLA's main problem last year was offense. The coordinator is changed and new now and he is awesome!

That is classic UCLA football bro INCONSISTENCY. UCLA can beat a powerhouse like USC, and follow it up with a loss to FSU in the emerald bowl. Actually though FUS was not as bad as their record indicated. They had a sick defense and a very good backfield. Anytime you have the combination of a good defense and a running game, you have a chance of winning. The problem is that FSU struggled last year on offense, but I believe they have a new offensive coordinator(forget his name). What I'm trying to say is don't be fooled by FSU's record they are actually a good team, and I expect them to rebound this year. Don't be surprised if you see FSU playing in the ACC championship this year. Persianbruin TURNOVERS KILL you You can dominate the stats but if you lost the turnover battle chances are you will lose the game.

Now as for UCLA we have 10 starters returning on defense this year. That is very good news because the Pac 10 is kind of known as an offensive oriented, pass first run second conference. It's not like the Big 10 where it is defensive oriented, run first pass second, type of a conference. UCLA will go as far as their quarterback takes them. QB inconsistency KILLED US last year we need that to change. By the way I think we will have no problems with the tree this year. Furthermore I think we will handle BYU, UTAH, and also the revenge game against ND. We had it last year but we let ND come back. I am sure the UCLA players will remember that game.

What you said is very true Persianbruin. In fact I have two classic examples of people who were not highly recruited out of high school, who turned out to be studs. All you need to do is look at WVU because Pat White and Steve Slayton were both not highly recruited. I think both of them were probably only like 2 star recruits by rivals and scouts.com. Now they are both heisman contenders and they deserve it.

You are right man on paper you can have the best team on earth with all the five star recruits in the world IE USC. Well UCLA beat that team loaded with five star recruits because they played harder than USC. I am afraid of the return game though there is no way we will win @ USC. I"m sorry to say it but that it just too much to ask for this team.

If you think american football is boring then you must not understand the game. Its absolutely the most entertaining of all team sports. The possibilities are endless and by watching more games you realize even more how many rules there are that you just dont know about.
