Almost Time

Well it is almost time for the first kickoff for the 2007 SEC football season.
I refer to the first kickoff as being the start of the college seasons first full weekend. Labor Day weekend is it!!! Some things that I am looking forward to seeing this year go like this:

1. What kind of year will Darrin McFadden have this year. When he came out of highschool not to many people had heard of him. Only the hard core of us really knew that when he was in high school and would get the ball the fans would cheer not for him, but for the offencive line not to hold! Ya see, odds were that he was going to score and the only thing that could prevent that was a holding penalty! Can Arkansas and all of the off field problems along with the fact McFadden will have to share the ball with Felix Jones be able to have the Heisman at Fayetteville next year? We shall see.

2. Just how good are all of the LSU quarterbacks. All of them claimed to be better than Jamarcus Russell! Now I must say that football is a team sport and if we look back at last yeas NFL draft you will see that many of Russells team mates from LSU are now now playing with the big boys. Is it fair to compare this LSU team with last years, ABSOLUTELY! Quarterbacks are supposed to be leaders! This team is loaded with talent! Sould be an interesting watch.

3. The SEC East
Here we go. Yea I could talk about Flordia and their chance to repeat( not gonna happen), Tennessee and if they can get most of their players out of jail for the big games(not gonna happen), or Gerogia, for which I am a big fan, but these are not the things that are going to standout this year. What about Kentucky and Vanderbilt!?!?!
Many are saying that this is the year that both programs break from the lower ranks and jump up into a possible chance to play for the SEC title! No, Wait, No, what did you say? Yes there is a surprising amount of talant that has slid under the radar at these schools. They are much stronger they have been in previous years and coming off some of the big victories that both programs had last year some added confidence surrounding fall practice. Will this be enough for either school to make a break through? We shall see.

4. South Carolina(Who really cares?)
