Ready for the dropping of Brohm Bombs on Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cards
Boiler Up!
I'm still baffled at UK starting last season by losing to Southern Miss at home, and then end the season by winning at Louisville. Now UK starts the season by playing at Southern Miss.
(If you are wondering why the **** UK is starting the season at Southern Miss, it is because UK had a deal with UAB, but when UAB football disbanded, UK kind of got ****ed and had to accept a bad deal with Southern Miss just to fill the schedule).
UK should be better, Southern Miss should be worse. But it is an away game. I've been a UK fan too long to take anything for granted, but please dont **** this up.
Not much time these days. Put this together in like 20 minutes.
Bama by 7 is my prediction. It's not ole miss so Bama doesn't lose. Fsu's president even said they would destroy Bama so I'm expecting the opposite to happen obviously!
Oh and it's game day guysssssss. Games that actually count for something will be played today! Who cares if they are ****ty. Our long nightmare of no football is over!!

Classic college football; last year we had the GOAT kickoff weekend with just the one idiotic Cal-Hawaii preview in Australia, a GOAT kickoff weekend so much that even NFL-only fans were saying, "Hey this is much better when the good teams play each other." so follow that up this year with an opening weekend of super-**** matchups. I feel like I should boycott these games just to discourage this ****.

Never underestimate the ability of the **** matchups to entertain. It's always the ones you don't see coming that maximize the lulz. There is bound to be some stupid upset that has all of 2+2 rolling in laughter. Plus, there are some good matchups week 1. Fsu/Bama, Michigan/Florida, Byu/Lsu, West Virginia/ Va Tech, and even Temple/Notre Dame could be good. Could even see Notre Dame choking their first one. It's not the GOAT weekend of last year, but it'll do!

LOL, that's two different weekends! Next weekend will be fine (although Thursday and Friday suck too). Wake me if any of today's games don't blow.
anyone getting ESPN's scoreboard to work properly in chrome? It won't let me select FBS(1-A) it just stays same. I can get it to work properly in firefox.
