The Day is Finally Here!!!

Finally, we have a game Tonight!!! Auburn vs. ULM is in only 7 hours. How exciting is that? I am pumped. I was able to wake up early and watch college gameday this morning, and I truly feel like the football season is actually here. It takes a lot to get me out of bed early on a Saturday, but if anything can do it, its college football. I'm a little late on my picks for the week, but I'm going to go ahead and do it.

Auburn vs. Louisiana-Monroe
This will be an interesting game. The big story is who will win the starting quaterback job? The big story in my mind is how will the offense look, no matter who the quaterback is. This game should be a blow out, but how bad? With the new offense put in at Auburn, depth will really come into play in the 4th quater. Depth is something Auburn has, and ULM may not. In the first half, Auburn will probably put up some quick scores, and look for the defense to do some of the same. Auburn should win this one very easily: Auburn-38 Louisiana Monroe-10

Alabama vs. Clemson
Defense, defense, defense is the key for Alabama in this one. Especially the defensive front. Can Alabama stop the run? If they can they can win this game. If they can't stop the run, it could get ugly. I believe the Tide will at least be able to slow them down, so I think this game will be very close, coming down to the 4th quater. First offensive play for Bama, may be a quick pass to Julio. That would make the crowd go crazy, but it probably won't happen. My impact player is Cullen Harper, Clemson quaterback. If Alabama has to load the box, he will throw right over the top. This is going to be a good game, but sorry bama fans: Clemson-35 Alabama-31

This is going to be a great first weekend of football. Good luck to all (except Alabama). That's all I've got for today..........................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

IT LOOKS LIKE BAMA HAS ANOTHER WINNING TEAM THIS YEAR I SMELL A IRON BOWL VICTORY PAUL BEAR BRYANT WOULD BE PROUD

I smell a dumb comment by an Alabama fan that thinks they are going to be great because they have won one game. Congrats on the win, but when it comes down to it, it is only one game. I'm pretty sure Bear Bryant won over 300 games, I doubt he would be proud just because Bama is 1-0. By the way, Auburn has the same record if you didn't know.
