Just had to get it in didn't you

. Just find it a bit daft. If your banning us from a bowl then ban us. Could have a lot to say about it but I'm starting to sound like a newco fan so I'm gonna give the Buckeye stuff a wee rest for a couple of weeks.

Did they get the extra programme in the deal? Can't for the life of me remember the name but if it's to do with football and its on TV it can't be to bad.

No idea DH - the link doesn't specify. Just noticed it's now showing as "members only" for some reason - wasn't doing that when I first read it - so here's another link:

Still no mention of whether it includes an additional programme or not but the NFL is continuing on our screens. Happy day

I watched the Georgia Tech - Virginia Tech rerun this afternoon. I echo the sentiment a few posts ago about preferring the close games. When Georgia tied it up with 44 second to go I was brought to my feet, but they lost in overtime.

I have been meaning to ask a question. What is the significance of the number before some college team names (e.g. 17 Nebraska)?

Delighted that the Sky Sports TV deal has been sorted. All we need is for the ESPN MNF announcement to come tomorrow and we're back to a really comprehensive schedule of coverage.

The top 25 teams in the country get ranked 1-25 it shows who is considered best in the country and sorts out who goes to the bowl games.

I missed that game as i had to go out, sounded good as well.

Going to head down my local sports bar tonight in Fairfield to watch the game. Finally football is BACK!

Wow

. That's some move for them

. Wonder how much they paid for that. I can't see it being much but you'd think it would have to be a lot

.

**DH1875** · 05-09-2012 07:46 PM

. I honestly can't believe none of you guys have posted this yet.

Think the Giants should win tonight, cant say im to fond of either so both teams losing would be great but I just get annoyed when I see Jerry Jones and his plastic face so hopefully the Cowgirls take a beating.

Whats everyones picks this year then? My heart says Eagles out of the NFC but I know what they are like, kinda like Hibs really haha. My head says 49ers out of the NFC and the Patriots out of the AFC. The Pats have dont nothing but improve this year and are always there about so I cant see anyone taking the AFC crown from them and I think they'll go onto win it in New Orleans.
If Chicago can keep Urlacher as healthy as possible they have a good chance. Marshall is a good signing for them and with Matt Forte getting his big pay deal it can only mean good things for them. Hope Jay Cutler has a good year, got him in one of my fantasy teams.

I tipped the Packers and Patriots last year, but i think this season is wide open and an outsider could emerge to overtake the usual suspects. In the AFC, i'll go for Baltimore with San Diego as a dark horse. NFC, lots of candidates...but i like Chicago.

***Sylar*** · 05-09-2012 09:23 PM

I'm not sure for tonight actually. I reckon the Cowboys are in with a good shout and I wouldn't discount them. The Giants aren't renowned for being quick starters!

I fancy the San Francisco 49ers to win the NFC, against one of the NFC North teams (Packers will be thereabouts as ever, Chicago and Detroit both look strong) and I'm not quite so sure with the AFC - I reckon we'll be in the mix this year again but Houston, Oakland and Baltimore are all very strong teams indeed.

**Haymaker** · 05-09-2012 11:40 PM

The AFC is going to be tougher this year but after all the battles are done... Tom Brady will be leading the New England Patriots out for his 6th Super Bowl appearance and a 4th Super Bowl win.

I agree 100%

**Haymaker** · 06-09-2012 02:07 AM

7 - 3 dallas at the half.

**James.** · 06-09-2012 06:01 AM

Dallas beat the Giants in the season opener. By all accounts looks to be a pretty dominant performance from Romo.

interesting comparisons, trying to think which NFL team would be thought of as Hibs

past glorys, rebuilding, fickle support, inconsistent,

the Rams?

The New York Jets surely must be a contender.

Play in green and white, one of the most contrary supports in the NFL, hopelessly inconsistent and they've not won the big trophy in a VERY long time

They also go through coaches (not always head) with alarming regularity and have a habit of attracting bad-boys.

***Sylar*** · 06-09-2012 08:39 PM

Incidentally, I'm curious with the NY comparisons.

I've always though the NYC vs Boston/New England rivalry was a lot more fierce than the inter-New York rivalry.

Am I wrong Ayrshire/DH?

No you're not wrong - divisional rivalries first and foremost. I don't particularly like the Yankees or the Giants but the Braves, Phillies, Dolphins and Patriots are the teams you LOVE to see lose.

. Nice to see your move hasn't dampened your sense of humour.

That's how I see it and if I'm being honest, one of the reason I probably started following the Jets. I love how people automatically think your a glory hunter because you follow the Jets without actually knowing that we suck big time and have done for most of our years. You got to love an underdog.

Nah, your spot on

. Hate is such a strong word but I truly hate your mob more than I hate the Giants. Giants wouldn't even make the top 5 teams I don't like. Ask any Jets fan who they wanted to win last years SB and I 100% guarantee you the all picked the Giants.
