Yay! Football season has returned :) First college games happened this past weekend and the NFL starts its regular season this coming weekend. Aside from hockey, its my favorite sport! yay!

Any early season predictions for the NFL? How about major college bowls this year? What teams will you be following?

It's really tough being a Bills fan in the heart of New England. :D

I am so psyched for the start of the season.

Cardinals and the Raiders may have a great year.

They will have their turn :) I had many years of heartache being a Carolina Panthers fan :)

Many years of being a Panther's fan?? How long have they been in the league??? Oh well, I guess it's all relative. It least you got the Hurricanes..

Go PATS! (sorry Carol ;-)

Agreed..Hockey and Football!

For College football I must say in the last couple of year I've become a big fan and follower of the rising Uconn Huskies..Brand new to Div 1-A and doing pretty good..Blowing out the teams they should and hanging pretty tough with the team the should lose to. I expect them to continue to rise.

Panthers been around a little over 10 years. Spent a bit of time in the cellar. Not too bad though, compared to some other teams :) I've been watching hockey since the Raleigh Ice Caps (AHL) played, so I was thrilled to see the Canes win it.

Uconn has had some great basketball in the recent past. I'll enjoy seeing them play some football!

Awww, don't be sorry Todd! I love the Pats, as long as they aren't playing Buffalo. :D :D

I actually think the Pats have a good shot at going all the way this year...now that the team has recovered from so many different injuries.

I guess I'll just have to watch and find out :D :D

A big HELL YES! Here's to Rutgers making another bowl run (hopefully a little closer to NJ) and to the NY football Giants making another run for the NFC East - and hopefully make it through the first round of the playoffs this year.

During the off season I play a lot of Madden, NCAA, and Arena Football on PS2. I am all about watching football. To me it is the best and most fun sport to watch.

I think this guy is on your side, but he is in "protection program" in Arizona.

I was going to NOT watch so much football this fall, but matchups like last weeks FSU v. Miami and this weeks Ohio State v. Texas keep pulling me back in.
