Football season cometh.

But then what would the punditocracy prognosticate about in September?

They should argue about what the first poll of the year, released 1 October, is going to say. It’d be just as much fun, and more tension.

I know I’m pissing into a strong breeze on this one...

Coaches poll has the Bucks dropping all the way to 11.

Too far maybe, I am surprised that they took so much skin off of Norte Dame however.

Who is your team?

Who do you expect win it all?

Emory football since I’m an Emory alumnus.

I think Emory football has a pretty good shot at winning it all…but I’m still trying to figure out what conference there in.

Emory football.

You an alum?

Yeppers…class of 1986.

Perhaps they're slowly coming around to the fact that 9 times out of 10, the Domers get overrated for being the Domers.

Emory is part of the Big 0 Conference along with the George Mason and Oral Roberts!

Damn…two weeks in and I’m disproven…Iowa State will have the largest drop in ranking this year…

Is that the number “0” or the letter “O”?

Can’t really see too well.

Anyway…here’s a pic of Emory’s football helmet…I found it on the internet…

You have to decide what the "0" means! You could think of it as the Big None.

I don't think Emory (a marvelous school BTW) ever had a football program but here are a few helmets from some now defunct teams...

Univ. San Francisco...called the "Dons," they had a short history.

Univ. of Vermont...Bernie Sanders thought the school proletariat were abusing the cat.

Xavier University... an Ohio school in some city starting with the letter C.

Wichita State... aka "the Shockers

and in the "Got rid of that just in time!" catagory...

University of Texas - Arlington...

look like another year of Navy not even being bowl eligible.... 0-2, heading for maybe 2-3 wins if they are lucky

went to the game vs AF in Annapolis. great time until the game started. perfect weather, F35 flyover and Navy Leapfrogs jump. but the actual football was atrocious.

left at halftime and found some old squadron mates that i haven't seen in over 25 year, and got in a good 10 hours of beer drinking, so overall a great day

This is the story of many college football games. Well done.

The stadium in advance of our night Auburn game, taken at 10:00AM. Tailgaters already rolling in.

Good to see the old OU/Nebraska rivalry re-ignited…better to see OU win! In the end I have to say I don’t see Rattler getting even close to the Heisman.
