Ready for Week 3? Great Games! GO Michigan State!

Ready for Week 3? GO Michigan State, Go Tennesee! (and Boston College, Ohio State and Texas, of course)

Week 3 begins tonight with Washington State at UNLV (sorry Rutgers, I know you played last night, and congrats on a W).

But the real excitement for stripedshirt are 2 BIG match ups. As a Boston College alum, I’d love to see Michigan State tear apart Notre Dame. And as a Texan (even as a UT fan) it was fun to watch A&M tire out Florida last week. Even though they won in the end, the Gators had to fight hard, and Tennessee is out for blood, or at least not to make it 8 losses in a row to Florida. There’s also Alabama Arkansas, and I’d love to see Ohio State look a little more confident – or comfortable- beating Cal tomorrow!

Who else to watch? Well out west, all talk is usually on USC, but they have a big fight against Stanford and UCLA looked pretty awesome beating Nebraska last week. In the Big 12, the Longhorns go to Ole Miss in what will be a PRETTY game (watch the ladies in the stands, Sourthern Belle football at its best). And holy Kansas State – they scored 103 points in their first 2 games, keep watching them (even with a relatively easy game this week against N.Texas. Their real proving point is next week v. Oklahoma)

For Big 10, I think Michigan will finally get some redemption after Alabama took it to em and they barely beat Air Force. The BRIGHT YELLOW (gross) Wolverines play UMass this week. The Minutemen want to prove they are ready for Big Time College Football, and Victor Cruz as an alumni aside, I don’t think they are. Can’t be too tough on UMass tho, my own BC, 1 win against Maine, so we’ll see what happens when they meet up with Northwestern tomorrow – very nervous Eagle here!

We are READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL, bring it on week 3!
