Title: The 2009 - 2010 Football Discussion Thread
Post by: Shee on September 01, 2009, 04:34:31 pm
So I'm headin back to the ol' stompin' grounds for some fooosball this weekend, and I figured now would be as good as a time as any to start it up!  I know I'm not the only one stoked for football!

GO BEARS
GO REDSKINS
GO NOLES

By the team names I will assume you are referring to American Football. Perhaps I'm reading BBC News too much when I thought there was a chance you were talking about soccer.

im not much into soccer. im not into football either. we watch the super bowl for the commercials and the excuse to sit with a large amount of cheeseballs between us, disappearing as the night progresses.

So far it looks like the Seahawks are trying to make up for their pitiful season last year...and my bro must be saying the old adage, "It' only preseason!" for the sake of his Broncos. I still don't actually have a team though, but I think I'll go over them all this year and pick over the ones I know I don't really like (Cowboys & Pats are on that list, though my gf is a New Englander so I may have to keep that on the DL :lol:)...we'll see...

I don't care about all the retirement mumbo-jumbo, I'll still be (tryin to) keeping an eye on Favre. At least now we know where he'll be next year. I didn't think this last one was for real anyway because he did pretty good by the Jets.

My Green Bay Packers are looking fierce all ready. Aaron Rodgers has that offense down to a science. You watch. We're coming back with a vengeance this year.

Go Panthers! Don't freaking choke up this year, Delhomme! Its alright, cause we got Steven Smith, the best of his kind(EDIT: I mean position, not race) in the NFL.

Just hoping that Phillie gets shafted something forceful, because of you know who.

Zombie:  I thought better of you.

V:  I'm glad you dislike the Pats and Gowboys.  Show no love for Favre, who faded into shittytude by the end of last season.  He's a gump and I HATE 'EM!!!

Darthmagus:  Consider this your warning.  After the Bears victory over the Packers it ain't gonna be pretty.

As for tonight, goo Wolfpack (ACC over SEC!)

We shall see, my good sir. Our entire culture and philosophy has changed from last year. We have better personnel and we have a better team overall. You have Devin Hester, the most overrated player in the league and Jay Cutler, the most overrated quarterback in the league. Also, your defense was shown to be vulnerable the last 2 years, especially to the run game. Maybe you should have put more attention to that in the offseason.

Alright, well, here's how I have it down so far...

(http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo81/V_Translanka/NFLTeams.jpg)

Some are still on the list for stupid reasons, tbh. I used to say I liked the Bears as a kid because of William Perry (I don't think I ever saw him play, he was probably before my time even) based solely on his KICKASS nickname, "The Refrigerator". That was before I even liked to watch football though (which only came about like 3 years ago or so)...

Why do you have the Steelers, the previous year's Superbowl winners, struck out? Seems like that would be a great shot of morale/testament to the skills of the team. Even if you hate Big Ben Rothlisburger(sp?), you got to love the acrobatics of Santonio Holmes.

Even though I'm not a Seahawks fan, just growing up around Seattle makes it tough to like the Steelers. And wtf is up with "Terrible Towels"...? Sounds like something they'd use to mop up especially messy pr0n scenes or something. And the reason why they have their logo on only one side of their helmets is stupid.

So, yeah, the reason I have some of them OFF the list is just as minor & superficial as the reasons why some are still on it. :lol:

Your list doesn't make sense, Trans. You can't like rivals of each other. You can't like Green Bay and Chicago. They are enemies, have been for almost a century! Adding Minnesota to that mix just makes it worse. You can't like the Browns and the Bengals, that's a turf war.

Also, ZeaLitY, I live in Indianapolis. I won't be surprised if the Colts falter this year. They're primed for a disappointing season.

So how is Michael Crabtree coming along lulz. He's actually stupid enough to hold out the whole season and renter the 2010 draft. Also fuck the patsies. Go Jets! Also watch out for the Texans they are gonna have a good season.

I said I was narrowing it down. Those aren't my favorite teams, just those still in consideration.

Have fun bro I've always been a fan of the FSU. I got to see them play in Wake Forest in '04. Plus they gave my Jets Leon Washington. Gotta love em.

What a game.  It was great to be back, even greater to leave  8).

Saw my whole family for the first time in a long while.  It was much smoother than expected, in fact downright pleasant!   :lol:  It was actually great, it had been too long.  Saw who I wanted to see and caught up with wonderful and loyal friends.  The football game itself was absolutely insane (I'm still hoarse) but of course the outcome caused my heart to sink into my feet.  On a side note, caught a FSU v. UM catfight (oh college) and then saw Billy Gunn.  Me and my brother started yelling" MY gawd King that Billy Gunn's music!!!" in our JR voices, causing him to run away.

I was very glad to see that they beat Ball State, and here's hoping they keep winning. I know they won't stay undefeated, but I'd like to see the Mean Green do well. I grew up and lived most of my life in the D/FW area, went to high school only about half an hour from UNT and literally down the road from Southlake Carroll, where Todd Dodge coached before going to North Texas a couple of years ago. I'd really like to see Dodge succeed there, and if he's going to get much longer to try, he's probably gonna have to start winning this year.

What a game.  It was great to be back, even greater to leave  8).

You were at that game? I'm jealous! I was working Monday night, but we still had that game on at my workplace. Several of us were glued to the TV toward the end. What a hell of a fourth quarter. Lots and lots of fun. I'm hoping FSU and Miami start not sucking again, especially if games like that come out of it.

Me, I'm a TCU alumnus and fan. Probably only going to be able to get to three games this year (unless we can finally manage to get the monkey off our backs, go unbeaten and get to a Bc$ game; then I'll be there for sure), but I watch all I can. We haven't played yet, but we get Virginia this week. Too bad they had to lose to William & Mary, really takes the punch out of that matchup. Oh well, I still say....GO FROGS!

Just got back from Utah...

FSU  54

BYU  28


AWESOME!!!  Everyone in the airport today was stoked we won, there was a general feeling that BYU was the "special" school, but I'm sure that just comes from how deeply religious it is, or maybe the gross overratedness they had.  Yeah I know that's not a word.  But it stays.
