I am, too, joe. Should be interesting. I think it's pretty safe to say that he's the most talented player in a BU uniform since, who, Jerod Douglas or Kalief Muhammad? (Don't say Odell James)

If West Virginia didn't look so awful, I'd strongly consider Colorado this week. But in the long run, and it will affect East Carolina, the Mountaineers might be lucky to sniff .500.

Edit: I might give WVU's spot to Colorado based on the outcomes of Georgia-Arizona State and Wake Forest-Florida St. With the schedule the Buffs have coming up, they'll either earn their way in or show the deserve to stay.

ECU will get beat this week...

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

Wouldn't that require NC State to score?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

In theory, yes. But it almost didn't stop Missisissppi State from beating Aubie.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

I agree.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

I agree. They lost a veteran linebacker and an offensive lineman. They'll go down. They're thin at linebacker.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

Will the people citing an ECU loss please tell me what N.C. State is capable of doing right?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

Kinda what I was thinking. I'll believe ECU loses only when I see it.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

Nothing. By all rights, they should win. Ever follow a hunch?

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

slappy and I are on the same page. ECU is, as the coach admitted, "thin" at linebacker. An OT is hurt. Injuries are a part of the game.

So my hunch is based more on NC State wanting to prove a little something against a team that has to put in greenhorns into crucial positions.

 

Re: 2008 SportsJournalists.com college football poll -- WEEK 3 (9-15), Page 37

N.C. State can want to prove a little something and I can want a mansion on the beach with a dock for my new cigarette boat. Both are equally likely to come to fruition.
