Moet & AH, you all are getting me too excited for the upcoming seasons. I can hardly wait. Trying hard to support this year's group yet also can't help but let my eye wander towards next year's schedule and thinking about how good some of these excellent kids are going to look in the Black n' Gold!
BTW, in case you all were wondering about the schedule, it should look something like this:
Week 1: Colorado State vs. CU, at Mile High Stadium in Denver, CO.
Week 2: Heard we just booked a I-AA team to tune up on. FYI, this is only the 3rd time we've played a I-AA team and they are largely considered tune up games for BCS programs.
Week 3: CU at Fresno State - I'm in Northern California and will make the drive down to Bulldog Stadium for this one. Could be a decent game. We'll be breaking in Connor Wood on the road and David Carr's brother is starting for FSU now. I'm sure you all are familiar, he was the #1 pick of the Houston Texans a few years back.
---- This part of the schedule has not been set in stone date wise but we know who and where we will be playing ----
Away:
WSU at Pullman, WA
*USC at Los Angeles, CA
*Oregon at Eugene, OR
Arizona at Tuscon, AZ
Home:
*UW
*Stanford
*ASU
UCLA
Week 12 - Utah : Rivalry game falls the final week of the season on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Should be a great slate of home games for any parents to come out to. UW/Stanford/ASU all should be ranked teams rolling into the 2012 season. Jeff, Sean, Jeremy, Gerald, and Peyton should all have ample opportunity to get on TV or have high exposure games. Oregon might be ranked #1 when we visit Eugene if LaMichael James comes back next season. Anyways, good stuff, starting to get excited at the thought of these kids leading the program back into the win/ranked column!
