I haven't been this stoked for a football season since the Bradford years.

So, only FSU and we got first place votes. But Bama winds up #2. Consolation prize for getting rolled in the Sugar Bowl.

I'll give LJ a shout-out - I was pretty stoked before the '11 season. And before we lost Whaley and Broyles, it was a darn good team.
Georgia not in the top ten. I guess they won't have as far to fall this season then.
Surrender is not a Ranger word
No, FSU got 56 of 62 votes and OU got 3, so there were 3 more votes to spread around. I'll bet Bama got 1 or 2.
Both OU and Bama are different teams this year and not to hard to understand Bama's ranking given the last 4-5 consecutive recruiting hauls. OU's ranking is more speculative, IMO.
We kicked bammers ***, they lose their QB, they're ranked ahead of us. Pfft.
You sound like LSU fans claiming they kicked our *** after the '03 season. In both cases, I saw a close game. But if you really live in AL, I can understand feeling that way - surrounded by the enemy.
They are not gonna be better than last year sporting a new qb. We are gonna be better. Whats hard to understand about that?
And why the heck would I say I live in Alabama if I did not, Bouldersooner, if that is your real name...? lol.
It's speculated we will be better* with a whole new set of RBs and WR (plus Shepard), new center, Colvin replacement, etc. I'm as optimistic as any fan it will happen, but still speculation.
*by better, I mean better than last year. I'm not comparing to Bama because I don't follow them closely. I just know they are 2 deep at every position with highly recruited players and a proven HC.
Fair enough. But I really hate them.
And there's nothing wrong with that.I lived in Boulder in '07 when we suffered what I think is Stoop's worst loss as far as how inferior the CU team was. I got grief at work for that one. Fortunately, CU fans are not rabid ala Bama fans, so it was pretty much forgotten in a couple of weeks.
I'm not a Bama fan, but it wouldn't be shocking if they're not better. Their old QB, whatever the hell his name was, was not a playmaker, nor in anyway what you'd call a dynamic player. He was simply steady and dependable. If they get dynamic QB play, and it's hard to predict, they could in fact be better on the offensive side of the ball.
Behold the pale horse. The man who sat on him was death, and Hell followed with him.

It being Boulder and CU fans, they probably forgot about it after the next time they toked up.And there's nothing wrong with that.
And there is nothing wrong with that either.Lots of things to do in Boulder which is why I lived there for 30 years. I miss it for about 6-7 months of the year, but don't miss that winter. Never smoked any weed there as I got that out of my system in good 'ol Norman, OK.
It was a good close game. That's why nicky's little comments lately are asinine.
I prefer Bama starting over us. I wish we were lower like the OP. Puts a chip on the guy's shoulders again.
Been reading articles about how we are the trendy "overrated in the preseason" pick by the media. I hate the offseason. Preseason, whatever. One team is the favorite one week, then the next, someone has to distinguish themselves by disagreeing, then the lemmings follow. And not a snap has been played. I can't not read sports articles b/c by this time of the year I'm desperate for any football-related content, but I can literally feel myself getting dumber with each new article I finish.
The enduring image of Oklahoma was that ridiculous double–middle finger of a game-icing kick. It was probably an accident, which somehow made it more, not less, insulting. It was as though Stoops had partied so hard on the corpse of the SEC that he woke up with an unplanned tattoo.
McCarron was the bama equivalent of Steve Davis, those championships were due to outstanding defense and an offense that didn't lose games. Please note I am only talking about the tide teams now, not comparing the Sooner teams of the mid-70's to them, I am commenting about A.J. While their 2014 QB may not have as pretty gf, he could easily be better and their offensive stats improve. But being his first year as starter, the odds are he will make more mistakes and thus the increased potential to cause a loss.
