NFL/NCAA Football 2012/13

Basically a place to come to talk American Football , let us know who you follow both in the NFL and college game.

I've always followed Notre Dame and the Florida Gators in the college game , in the NFL it's the Chicago Bears.

As we normally have a NFL season thread there's not much point in running this seperately, so title edited

As usual though gotta say...

Bears for the Superbowl!!!!

Looking forward to the main season of NFL, hopefully the Broncos can do better this season and make it to the Superbowl. Don't really follow College football, keep forgetting ESPN show it and by the time I remember games are over. Does the college season run same time as NFL season?

First games start on Thursday 30th August 2012

A bonus for me this season is ESPNA are showing the Navy v Notre Dame game in Dublin Live.

I did not know that thanks.

Thanks for that, must try and watch a few college games this year. From what I've heard though, there isn't a deal in place for a British provider to carry NFL this year?

I'm sure you will enjoy them , it's also nice to see some of the future NFL stars. I'm sure Sky Sports will get it however my preference would be ESPN.

There will be , we go through the same thing every two or three years, then a week or so before the start of the season a TV deal is announced.

Washington, I'm sure we've finished rebuilding do this year is all ours

Alabama, yeah roll tide.

@MarkC1984

How do you think Peyton Manning will go at QB for Denver ?

[MalteseFalcon]

I'm hoping he will help get Broncos further this season, and am looking forward to his debut tonight in the pre season game against the Bears.

[MalteseFalcon]

Pleased that the Broncos beat the Bears 31-3, hopefully this bodes well for the season.

Try and record ESPNU All-Access Ohio State Training Day 4 Monday 20th August 04.30 on ESPN America gives you a taster for college football.

Im quietly confident this year with the Bears offense , Brandon Marshall in , Michael Bush in and Alshon Jeffery should give Cutler some options.
