Coach Woody's Fighting Irish head south to Atlanta this weekend for a matchup with Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets are anxious for the upset, but something tells me they run out of pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars, green clovers by the end of the third quarter.
Bando will be spending Labor Day Weekend with former Hurricanes QB Gino Torretta.
You could be in Starkville, site of the 2003 FP road trip, tonight. At least you'd be able to see South Carolina play Mississippi State in person, but would that be worth it?
Can Hawaii take down Alabama in Tuscaloosa this weekend? Not likely, but GQ won't be watching Colt Brennan (above). He'll be daydreaming about Timmy Chang. The rest of us could study up on Timmy's life story, but why would we?
Uh-oh, Warrior Nation: College Football news picks the Tide 31-18.
It began as a joke, but it has turned into something far more sinister. The Vol hat, as it is commonly called, was purchased in a nondescript gas station in rural West Tennessee in 2003.
During that fateful trip to see the Commodores play Mississippi State, the hat was merely an idea. It was already becoming a reality, though, for poor Coach GQ, who made the mistake of selecting the underachieving Auburn Tigers as his first selection in the pool draft weeks earlier. In 2004, Coach Woody suffered through a season with the hat after securing the hat in a photo finish finale (when Iowa State dumped Missouri in overtime). Last season, Coach Rob fell victim to the "Wannstedt effect," when Pittsburgh and Purdue mailed in the better part of their seasons, and wound up as this year's hat bearer.
With the Vol hat comes much, much shame and the potential for public ridicule. As declared in Rule #13, the hat "shall be worn to all sporting events and game nights where all participants are in attendance until the following football season has ended."
It's destination Ann Arbor for 75 percent of the pool this week, as everyone but Coach Bando heads north to see the Michigan Wolverines take on our beloved Vanderbilt Commodores. It's likely to be ugly early, but that won't stop the crew from taking in a little of the pageantry and excitement that is the Big House.
After losing out in his coin-flip decision between USC and Texas last year, Coach GQ looks to claim his championship 12 months behind his original schedule. Picking fourth in accordance with Rule #18, here's a look at Coach GQ's roster:
Looking to defend his 2005 title, Coach Woody picked third in accordance with Rule #18 and is looking to blow past the other coaches early this season after escaping in third place last year. Here's a look at Coach Woody's roster:
Smarting big time from last season, hat bearer Coach Rob is looking to rid himself of the hated headgear quickly this season. Picking second in accordance with Rule #18, here's a look at Coach Rob's roster:
The FP conducted its annual draft on August 19 for the upcoming season. Coach Bando selected first in accordance with FP Rule #18. Here's a quick look at Bando's roster:
The FP embraces a rigorous set of rules to ensure fair and hearty competition each fall. Here is the current set of rules as of August 2006.
