CFBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

cfb season is here! god this is the best time of the year, bar none. week 1 was already full of excitement/upsets/surprises.

UF blew out charleston southern, as expected. nothing really to discuss, especially since i still have to watch the game. UF played very vanilla on defense, didn't really change up fronts/etc. despite CSU having alot of spread formations, UF still kept a standard 4-3 with little variety in terms of personnel or blitzes. typically, UF likes to keep a 3-3-5 set against spread formations so meh.

even still, UF held them to 3 points, cant really complain. i think we'll see alot more stuff next week against troy. despite losing to bowling green, troy is still a pretty decent team and always plays well with many BCS schools. i'm hoping to see more tebow under center, more blitzing/etc, maybe some weird stuff like haden at QB, etc.

still thinking about what games to go to. i was thinking UF/UK since another friend is going to that game (and i could meet him there), but not sure. my expectations are high this year, and i'm expecting at least a BCS bowl. anything less i think is going to be a disappointment.

am i right to expect this much from UF? i dunno. on one hand, i need to be realistic- i know that going through the season (relatively) undefeated is going to be very hard. yeah, the schedule is easier than normal, but even still, there are some tougher games in the future.

i guess i'm expecting that UF takes the SEC east. i don't think that is too bold of a prediction...UGA is down, UK is better but still probably won't be able to compete, vandy is vandy, UTenn is better but not there yet. even still, i suppose we can have someone sneak up on us like last year.

with that said, i'm sortve expecting for UF to go to the SEC championship. i'd like to go this year, as i missed it last year. and even bigger hopes i hold are those of a national championship possibility in california. with those two games, airfare/flight/and ticket, costs are going to be alot of money.

even more of a constraint is school , but let's not discuss that.

this first week of cfb was pretty incredible- OU loses (pretty unacceptable for an elite team, not having any depth)...the OL was completely fucked as well, confused as hell.

tOSU struggled with navy. i think they'll have alot of problems with USC next week, even with it being in the shoe.

bama impressed me a whole lot. they opened up alot, using alot of wildcat/direct snap stuff. their D was pretty stuffing too. obviously a pretty undisciplined team though, and if they get those mistakes (along w/ turnovers), they can be really really good.

alot of teams were quite sloppy though (as to be expected). lots of turnovers, penalties, etc. obviously this should go down as the season progresses. teams like OSU, bama, boise state, etc. all looked pretty sloppy.

poker is going well. i haven't won a ton yet, but i think i can succeed. these PLO 200bb deep tables are pretty insane...i've been playing alright, though some pretty obvious moments of retardation on my part. probably will go into a post about my play in the near future, but not quite yet.

about a week more till my enrollment in spanish...FML
