"My President's..." - College Football Games of the Week


...COOL." No, not Barack, I mean, he's cool too but so is Ga Tech's President Bud Peterson. Before he came to his senses with his plans to severely punish the group that led the goalpost charge to his home, he was making a speech like the one in the video. Although very cautious with his words, I appreciate the fact that he would have invited them inside his house if it wasn't so many of them (yeah right).

This story almost seems like Déjà Vu. The last time a goal post was torn down at UNC was when we beat Florida State back in 2003 (shout out to Dre Wesson who led that charge).

Last Week 3-2
Overall 19-16

This Week
Florida State at North Carolina
Goal Posts?  Well, FSU will be a tough play although their record says otherwise. We are making history by hosting our very first Thursday night football game (Thanks Roy, just my opinion).  This our chance to stick it to them and pay them back for when Greg Jones ran over Dexter Reid (click here) a few years back.  If Yates has a good game, we win!  Plain and Simple...UNC 31-24

Tennessee at No. 2 Alabama
UT had a great win against UGA two weeks ago.  Now back to reality.  Crompton is ok, but not good.  Unless safety Eric Berry plays QB, RB, WR, DB, and safety, the Vols will not be able to keep up with Alabama.  UA 35-21

No. 13 Penn State at Michigan
Michigan's quarterback Forcier will win a Heisman if he stays healthy and stays in school for at least 3 years.  I think he's that good, maybe even better than Pryor from OSU (sorry eddie).  Penn State is good, but being on the road in Ann Arbor will pose some issues... UM 27-20 

No. 8 TCU at No. 16 Brigham Young
BYU just may be back after getting smacked by FSU early in the season.  They are averaging almost 45 points a game in their last four games.  The only issue is TCU is putting up just as many points. The first team to get a stop in the 4th quarter wins... BYU 42-38

HBCU Game of the Week (ESPNU Thurs night)
Prairie View vs. Southern University
"Without the band, it's just a game" was my high school band slogan.  Apparently Prairie View and Grambling State bands felt the same way after continuing to play after the offense broke the huddle during last week's game...so they got FINED.  This is actually going to be a good game between two of your better teams in the SWAC.  I'm going with my home state over the purple and gold, SU puts up points, lots of them...SU 42-24
