No doubt Notre Dame is a good team and has great tradition. I've wondered what it's like to go to a school that does not belong to a conference. Now a days it's great to have the SEC in common with others. I see the Vols or Auburn stickers and immediately theres a bond with the folks.......and as always some antagonism. But it's a ton of fun and a great feeling. And by the way........ Georgia will take the SEC this year and maybe (hopefully more) ........ slowly goes the kayak season and slowly comes the Football season.

Go Cats! Oh wait, Kentucky doesnt have a football team...I'm tired of getting beat up by the rest of the SEC. We can't even beat a team of blind cheerleaders.
Okay, Okay, Okay. I am getting psyched up as well now that college football is back so I had to chime in as well. GO HAWKEYES!!! Yeah, I know you SEC boys are going to throw down the fact they lost to Florida last year (shitty refs. we got screwed over and over) but no excuse, a loss is a loss. But lets look at 2003 37-17 win over the Gators, 2004 30-25 win over the defending national champs LSU and 2006???? Every team has had their lime light. I am just a true fan who cannot help but get in the wonderful spectrum of trash talking durning college football season no matter what my teams record it. Good luck to everyone and their teams this season, it should be a nail biter.

Glad to see a Big Ten guy chiming in on these overrated SEC boys. My team is the Nittany Lions. Now that they got JOEPA on the proper meds he is going to take the Big Ten by storm, not to mention the Irish. It is about time the rivalry with ND has resumed!!
Oh yeah I love me some college FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!
Don't count those chicks quite yet you Irish faithful
remember you guys play a team from GEORGIA next week.
Sorry, but I'm just not sold on the Irish having enough team speed to keep up with top tear SEC and ACC schools.
Ya'll come on down south and we'll show you how some REAL football is
played. oh yeah where is your running back from? hint- GA
It's GREAT TO BE A HAWKEYE!! I am an alum class of '85 and I am hoping, as I do every year, that the Hawks kick the crap out of ISU and use it as a springboard into the Big Ten. I am not a big fan of playing teams like Montana to get the easy win in the preseason, but hey, Syracuse is no push-over.

The preseason is always full of hope in Iowa City. Now if the Iowa River (which runs through campus) just had a rapid or two!
Go Hawks!!!

It is GREAT TO BE A HAWKEYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We WILL prevail this year. Tate will throw for more yards than he ever has, which is saying alot. I am not really affraid of any, ANY SEC team. The big ten has been there always, not faltering in and out like most SEC teams. The big ten is always there no matter who they face. As for the IC River, if you go towards the Dairy Queen off of Riverside drive there is a little play wave, nothing huge, right under the bridge. Yeah Hawkeye Kayaking.
Sorry, boys but HAWKEYE football is about as laughable as HAWKEYE (Iowa) kayaking.
Like I said, Ya'll come on down south and we'll teach you how to play FOOTBALL and how to KAYAK!
Drew Tate is solid I'll give you that. But, ya'll are going to need a lot more than that to even compete with big ten schools, much less an SEC school. Don't kid yourself fellas!
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and even some ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn't it great? This time of year everyone thinks their team is THE time. Hey, I guess that's what it is all about. I was in Iowa when there were 20 years of sell outs for home Iowa games and not a single winning season. Now, that is what I'm talkin' about. Iowa fans are some of the best fans anywhere. I remember sharing food and beer with fans from other schools and having an awesome time. But that is Iowa for you, we have good football, and GREAT people! You might just have a better football team, and I have no doubt that you (and almost everyone else with a boat) can paddle better than me, but there is something special about being an Iowan. (And no, I don't mean special olympics...LOL)
So like my momma told me..."If you don't have anything good to say about somebody, don't say anything at all." So I won't dis your team, but I will sure cheer REAL loud for my HAWKS!
