College Football 2012 - Better Late than Never

[Charley]

So I can't believe we don't have a thread for college football up. I blame myself mostly.

I know we got a few international folks watchin some football stuff at Crimson Nerd, and there's been passing interest in the foibles and quirks of our strange game. Plus we also have plenty of regular lifers who follow the sport.

So, how's things so far? Week six is down in the books. How's your team doing? Brag or lament here.

So Bama had a bye week this week, and that's probably good timing for us. We've had a lot of injuries that could potentially ruin us later in the season and we need to focus on getting healthy. Jalston Fowler is out for the season. Dee Hart is out for the season. Eddie Lacy isn't 100%. We famously have an amazing arsenal of running backs, but because of these injuries we're looking thin in the backfield.

Strange days in the SEC and I am not confident we'll make it out of conference play undefeated. And even if we do, South Carolina is looking like a resurgent beast.

Also Notre Dame is real good and that makes me angry. This should not be allowed to continue.
