Waco Kid's College Football Week 2

The_Waco_Kid's Avatar
What is Waco Kid's Weekly College Football Review? It is an ongoing weekly review of all things College Football!!

Each week upcoming games can be discussed and predictions made, name-calling after victories and general all-around college football discussion! Each week will be closed out by the next Monday and a new thread opened for the current college football schedule for each week.

Rules -

"Rules?? We don't need no stinkin’ rules!”

Actually we do.

WKWCFR rule 1

"Lies, damn lies and statistics!"

British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli

If you quote a stat, record, 3rd down conversion rate, an all-time mark or the number of jock straps an 85-man team needs ...

Post it! If you can't post a link to it, it's bogus!
What's valid in the Internet age? Just about anything! Any of the major sports publications, local newspapers, any of the big networks and official school and NCAA sites just to cover the big ones.

WKWCFR rule 2

Predictions must be posted 1 day in advance! If you haven't read the sports page and figgured out who's going to win by the day before ya never will!

Must be time stamped before Midnight the day before game-day, for any weekly games Thur-Sun on the current weekly schedule.

So there you have it, pretty basic! You can post on general topics of your favorite teams regardless of that week's opponent. Just remember WKWCFR rule 1

I live off the main North outlet from the stadium and cannot believe the dumb shits that are stacked up in traffic because of one single light.

12 S Carolina 45
Georgia 42
Gotdammit Dogs! you had the 'Ol Ball Coach and let him off the hook, giving up 14 points on late turnovers. You also ruined my perfect run, would've been 25 and zip on my picks. Losers.

Charleston S.

5 Florida St

6:00pm ET

Winner: Fla St
Jimbo era continues, Chief Osceola lets out War Chant & Scalps 'Em.

Charleston S. 10

Jimbo rolls, FSU faithful begins to believe again, until next game at least when the Sooners come to visit. Pull that out and you is a contender, Jimbo.

UAB

18 Florida

7:00pm ET

Winner: Florida
Going all in with the deserter, Willy M. And FatAss Weis.

UAB 0
18 Florida 39
Willy and the Fatass have the Gators playing like .. the 'Ol Ball coach. So far so good, Willy. But UAB ain't the SEC then we'll know who you really are.

Ball St

22 S Florida

7:00pm ET

Winner: S Florida
Here's where Leavitt would drop one after a big W, let's see what Skippy H does. Ball St hasn't been squat since Hoke left.

Ball St still ain't squat but you avoid Leavitt's habit of losing after big wins. This week.

BYU

24 Texas

7:00pm ET

Winner: Texas
Malcolm Brown gets some early yards and UT's offense looks sharper this week.

Good bye Gilbert Grape, you had your chance. Not thrilled to see UT pulling an 'Ol Ball Coach with McCoy and Ash, but without that we would have lost.

Fresno St

10 Nebraska

7:00pm ET

Winner: Nebraska
Bo gets a nice home test from Pat Hill and Fresno, show me Bo knows offense again.

7:00pm ET

Winner: Arkansas
Hogs way too much offense under Bobbo for lousy N Mex. This should be a rout for Hogs.

New Mexico 3

Bobbo turns this into a scrimmage as expected. Losing your top tailback may bite ya Bobbo when you need to close out in the big bad SEC.

N'western St

2 LSU

8:00pm ET

Winner: LSU
Roar Mikey! One thing Lester doesn't do after big wins .. Lose. Good time to polish up that offense, Tigers.

not a fan of either Michigan or Notre Dame but what finish. 4 TDs in 112 seconds


but what gets me was how many of those experts were predicating Notre Dame to win the national championship

Since i have long standing grudges against the faggot irish of neutered dames and as long as the Wolverines don't play Texas or Ohio St (mostly, but let's face it, this was NOT Woody Hayes' Buckeyes under Tressel) i'm more than cool seeing UM kick the choking irish right outta Ann Arbor.

Oh, and i recall that acid-tripping, yer fuckin' kiddin' me BULLSHIT about the irish being some sort of dark-horse BSC title contender. NOT.



by the way, that's the "Second Year Title" thing these writers are harping on lately, they claim a pattern 'cuz several schools recently did a win BCS title in their coaches' second year so several writers rolled the dice and did a Nostradamus by picking ND.
