Waco Kid's College Footbal week 3

[The_Waco_Kid]

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

Nope. why bother? kinda sneaky of Mack Brown to have Greg Robinson on the UT grift, yeah? Insurance Policy in case Manny failed again. Many "pudknockers" .. er "pundits" have panned Robinson, for no reason really. He has 2 SuperBowl rings from the Denver Broncos, working for Shannahan no less, a coach almost as mercurial as Steve Jobs, and that's saying something. In Robinson's one year as co-DC in 2004 we had a top 25 defense, went 11-1 and set the stage for next years' BCS title team. Forget his stint at Syracuse as head coach, that job is a coaching graveyard. and forget Michigan too, it was RichRod who insisted on that odd ball 3-3-5 defense, probably not Robinson's first choice as a scheme.

GODZILLA don't care about no stinkin' point spread LOL.

[CJ7]

neither Bama or A&M are the same teams they were last year ... it all boils down to contain, and that boils down to individual players making clutch plays when they have to ... all the coaching in the world by Bama goes out the window when a sandlot game breaks out and Manziel gets loose ... all the scrambling in the world wont mean zip if Bama can keep Manziel contained behind the line of scrimmage ... either way it will be interesting.

2 close 2 call ... no prediction.

get cher popcorn ready

last year a$m had a great offensive line (how many got drafted high?) so that could be reason Bama could contain him this year

Bama sent several defensive players to the NFL too

every Godzilla movie I've seen didn't work out too well for Godzilla

no. he had them playing out of position and couldn't make in-game adjustments.

yet no one ever truly defeated mighty Godzilla did they?
and of course the Godzilla ref is a metaphor for Saban i presume you get it yeah?

don't you see the resemblance????

[CJ7]

not picking a wnner was a safe move, soooooooooooo


A&M 41

Bama 27

Bama won their opener, but not THAT impressive ... had some soft spots for a #1 ranked team.


the invincible Sooners hit Kyle in 02? with the same Godzilla attitude and went home wearing maroon T Shirts.

Woop.

[The_Waco_Kid]

name the last team to score 41 on Godzilla .. er Saban. name that team. go ahead

now here's why Bama wins ... only ONE SEC coach has beaten Saban twice in a row .. and his name is NOT Sumlin

yeah yeah yeah ... Sumlin hasn't coached against Saban twice, but by 5:30 PM Saturday he'll join a long list of fails trying.

who was the coach who beat Saban twice in a row?

Steve Spurrier when he was at UF and Saban as at LSU.

name the last freshman QB from Texas A&M that beat Godzilla at home ...go ahead

Saban doesn't have a chalkboard big enough to draw up a defense that will stop Manziel ... much less an offensive line the can bock
