The 2007 major college football season kicked off this week on Thursday night with several televised games, including LSU's 45-0 thumping of the hapless Bulldogs of Mississippi State.
Virginia Tech, America's new favorite team, opens up today at home against East Carolina. This will be the first Hokie football game since last spring's shooting tragedy. ECU will put up a fight, but the far superior and emotionally motivated Hokies will take care of business. Beamer Ball wins big 38-14.
In other action today look for Memphis to edge Mississippi 20-16.
Tennessee-Knoxville will have their hands full today with California. The Bears will squeak by at home 27-24.
And look for the Golden Eagles of Southern Miss to easily handle Tennessee-Martin 35-10.
Tickets are still available for most of these and other big games this season.
