The Lillipad - 2012 College Football with frogsrangers

[frogsrangers]

Welcome everyone to my college football thread and another exciting college football season upon us.

I know what you are already thinking. Another college football thread? And why should I trust you?

Well, I should be trusted because last year I amassed a 63-44, +15.5 unit record on college football, as well as having a unique college football personal history with skin in the game.

As a walk on non scholarship member of the TCU Football team, I had a 4 year career from 2007-2010, playing in a total of 2 games and amassing 0 career stats in anything other than being in the game during garbage time as we ran the ball up the middle. We amassed a record of 44-8 when I was there, winning 3 bowl games and going to 2 BCS bowls, capped by a Rose Bowl victory in my final game. So I have some extensive personal college football experience that I can bring to the betting windows.

Biography aside, I have already been hard at work getting ready for this upcoming season. The next 2 weeks we will preview what is to come for this season that brings a changed landscape and new storylines.
