Leaving for Athens in a few, and I’m in a bullet point mood, y’all.
- On the home front, it’s a name your score day. If Bennett isn’t playing in the third quarter, we’ll know something’s gone horribly, horribly wrong. Lots of fresh faces and hopefully no serious injuries.
- Will Tennessee bounce back against BYU? Probably, but I’m saying there’s a chance…
- Georgia Tech is playing a rematch in the friendly confines of BDS against a terrible USF team. Can Geoff do what the genius couldn’t?
- I hope Vandy shows us something against Purdue. Either way, it’ll be something to gauge the opening week win against.
- I think Dabo and his staff know exactly how much hay they need to make against TAMU today.
- Here’s hoping LSU lays into Texas tonight, if only to shut down the “Texas is back” talk that’s Georgia’s fault.
- My candidate for ugly game of the day is Arkansas-Ole Miss.
- It’ll be interesting to see how Eason and Fields do against better defenses today.
Feel free to add your own thoughts and observations in the comments section. See you on the other side after the first game played on Dooley Field wraps up.
Get The Picture 
This time tomorrow, either Ole Miss or Arkansas will be in 1st place in the west. chuckles

I hope USF changes the culture (or lack thereof) at Mark Richt field.
I hope the hillbillies loose. I don’t KNOW who I want to loose the worse when they play; the hillbillies or the swamp lizards.
I do hope Hell SU beats the steers, and TAM whupps clemmons.
And….
I do want to see Stetson have meaningful snaps.

I believe that Pruitt is dangerously close to losing the team. Another loss today might seal his fate. Can anyone say orange pumpkin?

That is the plan—right? For Pruitt to fail and Phat Phil to fire Pruitt and become interim HC mid season then hire himself as permanent HC after the season. Right? The master plan all along.

I think TN gets a win they desperately need, I agree that he is very close to losing the team and another loss may cause a sprint to the locker room for Foolmer to get the sweats back on.
Believe LSU might rock Texas, and they deserve it, and all of Murica needs some relief from them. Kirby needs to give SB the entire 2nd half to run the offense and get some reps. We blew an opportunity last week to do this, and need these next two games to get him comfortable. Could be dead wrong, but I think this is a 4 quarter in Death Valley. A&M capable of the upset, think they at least cover.

One of two things happens with Fields and Eason today:
1) They struggle and prove that they aren’t any good
Or
2) They play well and it is declared that both the teams they played aren’t any good and that both still aren’t any good

Hope UT crashes and burns—possible too as BYU has a decent team. I remember USF had a pretty good team just a couple of years ago—how’d they fall so far so fast? Eason and Fields are both quality QBs on teams surrounded by top notch players. They both will do well. In fact I fully expect to have to face one of them in a playoff game before they graduate.

As dumb as Fulmer is, he’s smart enough to know that his day is done. After he kicks Pruitt to the curb, expect Tee Martin to be named interim head coach. Remember that Martin said that he wouldn’t come back unless they made him OC. Then he shows up. Fulmer wanted him in place if Pruitt crashed and burned, which apparently is happening.
