Freshman Mustain to start at QB for Arkansas
Stupid politics!! Who would schedule something so insignificant during the College Football season? On Saturday night as I was doing the political event, a lot of us were whispering about the new SEC season. Actually there were some Kansas folks there that didn't realize it wasn't really football unless SEC teams were playing, but hey it's a learning curve. ;) Evidently I didn't miss very much during the first real weekend of football. Arkansas got their butts handed to them by Southern California. In our defense we are in a rebuilding year or 5, actually I think Arkansas has been rebuilding since I was a little boy, but let's not get bogged down in the details of it. ;) They've got a new awesome freshman QB that's going to lead them to victory, bumping off their Junior QB that had trouble performing against Southern California. In his defense Southern California is actually ranked, so it's not like we were expecting to blow them out. We will be traveling during the next game when Mustain gets to start, so I won't see that game either.
On other teams, surprise, surprise Tennessee pulled off a victory against a higher ranked team. One of my buddies is a Texas fan and they blew out their opponent during their first game. Somehow Notre Dame is ranked again without any record to speak of, but that's been going on since I was a little boy as well, so no surprise there.
Alabama barely won their first game, so that doesn't bode well for their season. They've been terribly undermined since they had to start following to recruiting rules, I don't know if they are long for this world. ;p Vanderbilt had a good quarter against Michigan, which is always cause for celebration. Despite my disdain for the Florida teams, the scourge of decent SEC teams everywhere are still being allowed to play and of course they are all ranked for reasons that confound the imagination. They still have the best players money can buy and they've yet to punished for their bad behavior.

I know nothing about Tennessee's team anymore. I don't even keep up with it as a general rule. I don't know if I outgrew it or what, but it just got dull.
