Pick'em is back! Same style as last year. I don't plan on including the weekday games again this year, with Week 1 being the exception (limited pool of good games to choose from + plenty of time for you guys to get your picks in).

Games:

1. Texas-San Antonio at South Alabama (Thurs.)
2. South Carolina at Vanderbilt (Thurs.)
3. Eastern Michigan at Ball State (Thurs.)
4. Washington State at BYU (Thurs.)
5. Tennessee vs. NC State (Fri., neutral site)
6. Boise State at Michigan State (Fri.)
7. Notre Dame vs. Navy (neutral site, in Ireland)
8. Troy at UAB
9. Tulsa at Iowa State
10. Northwestern at Syracuse

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.
