The teams I have picked to follow all have tough football schedules….There is Alabama: All tough SEC opponents, except Va Tech, Colo St (also a New Mexico opponent) and Chattanooga, so it is a tough schedule……Arizona, all tough PAC 12, except N. AZ, UNLV (plays Lobos) and UTSA (plays Lobos)….Not as tough as Alabama’s I don’t think, but tough….New Mexico, all Mountain West including Fresno State and Boise State, but Pittsburg also. A good schedule….Wisconsin battles their normal Big Ten opponents, all of them tough. They also play UMass, Tenn Tech, and AZ State, also a tough team…..New Mexico State Aggies….Now these guys are gluttons for punishment, a small bottom feeder school as far as recruiting talent is concerned, but does that bother them in scheduling? No, not in the least…Aug 31, Texas, Sept 7, Minnesota, Sept 21, UCLA, Sept 28, San Diego St, Nov 9, Boston College…..in between they have UTEP, New Mexico Lobos, Rice, Abilene Christian, Louisiana Lafayette, FAU and Idaho. Considering this school’s size, recruiting limitations, and fan base, in my humble opinion, they have the toughest schedule of all. Will they win those real tough games? Probably not, but they did beat Minnesota at their house last year, and they don’t give up…. You have to give them an A plus for sheer guts. They don’t back down from anyone. They will battle until they run out of guys, count on it…..Good luck, Aggies and I will be pulling for you except against the Lobos. (Did I tell you guys I attended New Mexico State-Carlsbad? Probably not) Well, I’m ready for this season to get started…..Go Lobo’s….Roll Tide…..Go NM Aggies….Go Cowboys…..er, five turnovers in the first half at Arizona Cardinals and Romo was not involved in any of them. Coach Garret will take care of those fumbles, won’t you Jason?…That is a first for Romo (I think) and also the defense looked good…I think we will be alright….Denver Broncos, good offense. They will need a defense to be competitive in the NFL.. Of course, Mr. Elway knows that. He will take care of that, right John?…..Pete Hester



Go get ‘um, Pete! Right or wrong, you are my favorite sports writer for predicting sports, especially football, this time of the year.
Nothing like a pat on the back to get you going. Thanks
