By now, you know the deal with the “Getting Ready†series.  I selfishly pick out what I think are key games of interest each week of the upcoming season and then cleverly demonstrate how witty I am as I write about them.

Week 3 is the Big East’s week.  It’s a make or break week for BE out of conference play.  Opportunities abound for BE braggin’ rights.  So let’s get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!  Big East week starts on Thursday night.

Thursday, September 11 (has it been 7 years already?)

UNC @ Rutgers - Remember how much of a pummeling we put on the Tar Heels last season?  It should be interesting to tune into ESPN Thursday night to see this game.  Can the Riceless Ruby Kanights dump the Heels at home like we did last season?  Does Butch have the Heels ready for prime time?  We shall see.

Friday, September 12

Kansas @ USF – Just a little fracas down at Ray Jay Stadium on ESPN2.  This is the Super Bowl, before the Super Bowl.  We owe the basketball school a punch in the nose.  If USF wants to be prime time, this is our game for early season ‘08 (repeat after me, “Auburn ‘07, Auburn ‘07, Auburn ‘07â€Â).

Saturday, September 13

Virginia @ UConn – Woe ho, the Puppies have a REAL game this week.  No more Purina Puppy Chow on the menu for the Connvicts.  They better bring their good “D†game to uphold the BE brand.  Now FETCH puppy.

Penn State @ Syracuse – Hide your women and children.  This ain’t your gandpa’s Syracuse Orangemen.  JoePa never had it so easy against the Orange when he could see without coke bottle bottoms in front of his eyes.  I can hear JoePa at halftime, “This is Syracuse?  Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Larry Csonka, Donovan McNabb Syracuse?  Really????â€Â

Arkansas @ Texas – I used to love this game in the old Southwest Conference days when I was a kid.  The question of today is, ‘Will Coach Petrino still be coach of the Hogs by the time this game rolls around, or will he have moved on to Western Wyoming JC by this point in the season?’

Western Kentucky @ Alabama – After LaMo (Louisiana-Monroe) knocked off the Tide last season, I guess anything is possible.  What makes this scenario interesting is to see if Saban will be able to invent some new excuses for the Tide losing to such a mighty foe, which will mean he’ll have to justify his hefty salary once again.

Michigan @ ND – Yawn….Remember when this game was relevant?  Oh yeah, I suppose we need our old buddy RichRod and USF Coaching North to win this one for their old conference friends.

Ohio State @ USC – What the f______?  I thought the Rose Bowl was played in January?  The big question for this game is:  Are the fans of the losing team going to chant, “Rematch, rematch†after the game?

The other Big East sissies you ask?  They have the week off to preen and try to look purdy.

There you have it.  It’s Week 3 winning by a TKO.  Let’s hope some BE teams knock out their OOC opponents as we dizzily look ahead to Week 4 next week.

I do one week per week.  I don't think I will finish the season by the end of June.  It's never too early to talk about an upcoming college football season.

Your post is an example of the reason many do not like to post on this forum.  All I am trying to do is add some fun and information with a little humor to this forum during a relatively slow period for USF athletics and you have nothing useful to add other than discouragement.  Just don't read the posts if they bother you.

Normal, like I said in an earlier thread this board is like a crazed Star Wars movie.  Every topic a group feels like they have to be negative, or 'enlightened' in their own minds.  It's like a good v. evil battle on every thread.  In about another hour or so smazza will hop in and tell you 'USF fans should not be excited about playing KU, and you have nothing to be arrogant about', and then some will defend him, some will attack him...and away it goes.

Thanks Steve.  The other Steve (smazza) actually posted in one of the first two that the Getting Ready was 'well done.'  Hopefully he was commenting about my offering and not ordering a steak.  :D

i like these posts too...if you would go back to his 1st post of week 1 i complimented him on them.

and normal, you took my post the wrong way.  i wasnt trying to be negative.  but i can see how you could of taken it that way.  i should of added that i wish you would slow down a little bit because when these weeks come around your posts will be on pg 34 of this board.

either way, its a message board and people should be able to take the bad with the good and not let it affect what they post or if they post.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
