SEC Championship LSU vs. UGA (UGA wins)
Auburn: Chick Fil-A-Bowl

[phatboy]

Im not much of a predicter, but if you'ns is interested I got a nice XLS with all the conferences their schedules and even the independents.

Helmet schedule, with 'game of the weeks' picked out.

[MAJ Havoc]

Already got it, my friend.

[phatboy]

UGA/AUB for the SEC would be an awesome game.

Not to mention adding to the longest rivalry in college football history.

Ohio St./Michigan aint nothing but weee babies when it comes to a rivalry.

Oklahoma/Texas is the same way, UGA has been a University longer than Texas has been a state.

Opener - Clemson or a Bama upset?

I bet $5 that when the Vegas line comes out it is less than 3 points.

[MAJ Havoc]

I'm thinking 3 and a hook.

[phatboy]

Clemson loses by 3 (or 4 to piss off vegas).

Saban gets a new contract and then skips town after losing to Tulane.

He ends up back in Miami and they trade for Favre. He then courts John Favro to be the LB to replace Zach Thomas.

I think that Clemson will beat Alabama pretty easily. Alabama will be Ok by the 4th game, which is the first one that counts in the SEC.

Oh, and who is Favre? :)

[ucicare]

Ok boys (Phat, Major and Nursey) here it 'tis. I have revised my opinion of the season opener for Bama. They may have a chance.



1. Alabama has a freshman nose guard that Clemson will not be able to block. Expect him to wreak havoc in the first half. Clemson will adjust at half time, and may have to go with quicker release plays to get a pass off.


2. A senior quarterback returns at Alabama. He may be off everyone's all whatever team, but he already owns a large number of passing records at Alabama. An interesting one is that in both 2006 and 2007 he had streaks of throwing more than 100 passes without an interception. He set the alltime record for passing yards at Alabama in 2006, and then broke his own record in 2007. He also owns the two highest number of completions in a season for 2006 and 2007. Might I remind you that list of quarterbacks under him includes Namath and Stabler? He is only 10 completions away from the all time record for number of completions at Alabama. I think that this redneck unappreciated quarterback and the gazelles Alabama has at receiver will eat Clemson alive.


3. Clemson hasn't posted a 10 win season since 1990. In the same period, even with all the turmoil and coaching changes, Bama has had 8 ten wins seasons and one National Championship. Bama has Tradition, Clemson doesn't. Clemson has never beaten Bama. Things like that mess with the minds of kids and coaches.


4. Bama has two future NFL players in the O line. With healthy running backs, Bama should own the ground game. If Alabama runs for 150 yards or more, Clemson will lose.


5. Bama is just more hungry. They have chemistry. They THINK they are unbeatable, while Clemson HOPES that this is their year. For 20 year olds, psychology is everything.


6. Clemson wears Orange, which is Alabama's least favorite color. I bet anything somebody played a round of Rocky Top at least once in practice this week. No way that Bama loses to an Orange team this year.

[phatboy]

Alabama was picked to beat Tenn this year on ESPN.

So you guys are screwed. Thats like Corso picking UGA, drives me nuts.

You probably don't know that my Uncle coached at Alabama for 25 years. I used to think that football really mattered. Since Alabama has joined the ranks of mediocrity for the past 15 years, I have allowed my standards to be lowered. Beating Auburn is good enough for me.

[MAJ Havoc]

My wife scored me two tix to the Auburn game. I am still debating the road trip as Hurricane Gustav is coming to visit the Gulf this weekend. I may be boarding up the house instead.

I know it's too early to boast S.E.C., but what were the oddsmakers thinking?

Vegas had Miami FAVORED (-4) at Vandy, and the Commodes win by 20.

Same with South Carolina. They opened a +14, but win Cockily at 34-0.

Auburn -26 at LAM? - 26 points? I still take the TIGGERS.

Florida - 34 - Hawaii Well, at least Vegas shows Florida some respect. 34 is ton of points for anybody. I still take Florida.

Clemson -5.5 at BAMA. I hope the oddsmaker eat their doubts about Alabama tonight. Clemson has a terrible record in Atlanta (9-34 -2 I think)I have to take Bama and 5.5.


BooDogs still suck.

Go SEC

[ucicare]

Well I was 3-0 with my picks. Why don't I have the guts to bet?

[ucicare]

Dang it's quite in here. Except for the soft sucking sound that is coming from the East. Of course that never really goes away.

My team won 34-0 and it was still ugly. The spread offense may not work on the Plains.

Auburn will be fine. The spread will be as good as anything. Players make plays in any system.

Alabama looked awesome, but I really believe that it was more that Clemson just sucked. They had zero emotion.

[phatboy]

Clemson looked very flat. SC beat NC State, but it looked like NC State sucked like Clemson. Carolina plays Vandy on Thursday, so that should be a real 'test' for the cocks. Im hoping they win, so that way they will be somewhere around 20 in the polls when we smash the peaknuckle out of them. Then we go to the left coast to show Az State why the PAC-10 sucks and the SEC is the best Evar.

Its gonna be a fun season.

We did lose a DE on saturday to an ACL tear. Sucks, yes, but we have a handful of backups with experience so we should be okay.

[ucicare]

Its gonna be a fun season.



For everyone but Phil Fulmer.


Talk about getting your nuts crushed. Tennesse was far superior to UCLA. They screwed around and left them in the game, and then had to pull a miracle to tie it in regulation. The to simply MISS a chip shot field goal....

I bet Fulmer locked himself in the bathroom with a can of tape remover on the flight home.

[phatboy]

I bet Fulmer locked himself in the bathroom with a can of tape remover on the flight home.

Nah, he couldnt fly the whole way home without eating. He would be in a coma.

It ticks me off, cause now they are gonna get knocked out of the top 25. Sure South Carolina will be in, but I want everyone to play good, so when we beat em, we look better.

:)

[ucicare]

AP poll is out. Georgia slides to 2nd. I think that is good for Georgia. Being Number 1 all season is hard to maintain. Georgias loss of the D lineman is serious. It's hard to replace a legit All American, and the psychological damage is serious. I think that it will cost them a shot at the National Title. In the SEC, every inch counts. LSU won the NC last year with TWO overtime losses. Those games would not have been OT games with a healthy Glenn Dorsey. Games that go down to the wire need the edge a superstar gives. I actually would like to see Georgia do well, as long as they get their hearts stomped by the Tide.

Auburn can't hold number 9, and Bama can't hold number 13. With Auburn, they are just not mentally there. With Bama, it's just too young at this time. Missouri is a joke. They gave up 35 to illinois, and are ranked 6th. No 6th ranked team should EVER give up 35 to anybody. I pray that Ohio State goes undefeated, and meets a one loss Georgia in the BCS title game. I will die a happy man if Georgia forces a reverse hat trick on the Ohio Lug Nuts. Can you imagine the humiliation of losing three straight to the SEC?

Have you checked UGAs depth chart? Yea, losing Owens sucks, but we have quite a few behind him that are game ready. I think we slid because we didnt put an embarassing whooping on Georgia Southern, which is actually a good school that a lot of fans of UGA are actually Southern fans too. Richt isnt going to put a beat down on them.

This weekend is another 'cush' game, but we will see more of the other backs, like Samuel (who...ha ha ha) and King. I bet you guys are going, who is Samuel???

I was hoping for an SEC win Monday night but if a team turns the ball over to you 4 times and you can't capitalize on it, what can you whine about? Kudos to UCLA for fighting back in it.

Clemson tumbled all the way out of the top 25. They probably had no business being there to begin with but I can't remember such a long fall after one week. Thanks, Bama, for opening up the #9 spot for us.

You have be happy for the UCLA QB. The kid came back after being humiliated, and looked good doing it. Clemson will fire Bowden after this season. The chemistry stinks. I predict a 3-8 slide for Clemson like Bama did under Dubose in his last hurrah.

[phatboy]

I honestly dont care for the polls at all, Im sure you two agree, somewhat. I think the team that won it last year should start out on top till they are beat. I dont care about what the prognasticators say. It's like make it take it back yard basketball. It belongs to LSU till you take it. USC looked good (southern cal) if you consider they play in a conference about as tough as the WAC. I havent checked their whole schedule, but I have it around here somewhere...

Ok, I looked it over, here it be

@Va, Bye, Ohio St(2), Bye, @Oregon St, Oregon, Arizona St(15), @Washington St, @Arizona, Washington, California, @Stanford, Bye, Notre Dame, @UCLA(23)

For Comparison

Georgia Southern, Central Michigan, @South Carolina(25), @Arizona St(15), Alabama(13), Bye, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, @LSU(7), Floriduh(5), @Ky, @Auburn(9), Bye Georgia Tech

I think Ky might squeek into the top 25 once we get to them, Tenn wont be back in with games against Fl and Aub then Northern Illisnois before us.

The only poll that I really care about is the last one. And the only spot on that poll that matters is the first one.

In case you missed it on the other thread. Bitches..... :)

[ucicare]

Somebody in the SEC will kill him one day. I can hear the 'taint splittin' from here.

I did something today I have never done before. I actually bet on a football game. Three games to be exact. I almost hope that I don't win. That way I'll probably never do it again.

Took Alabama and -28. The Tide usually rebounds after stinking up the home turf. WK is not even a !A team. The Offense has to score 30 to satisfy Saban, and the D should be good for 7. I can't see WK scoring a bunch on 'Bama.

Also took Tulane +13 against ECU. I know that ECU beat West Virginia, but two miracles in a two weeks is a little much to ask. I thing that Tulane is a fair team. They will loose, but not by a lot. (I hope)

The there is the deal with UAB and Tennessee. I know that Fulmer's crew is better than UAB, but beating naybody by 30 points is a bit hard to do.
UAB has put up big offensive number both weeks. I think that they can score 17 on Tennessee. Canor better WILL Tennessee hang 48 on them? I hope not.

I was going to take SC and 10 against Georgia, but the line fell to 4 before I could bet. The number 2 team in the country is only favored by 4 over a 2 loss unranked Spurrier squad. Now thats what I call RESPECT!

[phatboy]

You put too much on a bookie.

He is going to play on the 'in the past carolina has played UGA tough, yadda yadda.' Id take UGA with a 4 point spread. Easy.

Dont expect Richt to leave the gloves on against the teams first SEC opponent. Plus,t the defense is going to step up, we have been playing a lot of backups, and if you watched any of the games we have played so far we have run 1 blitz in 2 games.

You played, do the math.

We let southern score. They are an instate team, of a lower level, both teams 'share' fans so no need to embarass them. CMU was supposed to have 'tebow light' as their qb (smaller and faster) we shut him down. The QB for CMU is twice as good as anyone Spurrier has. Their flailing is almost comical.

[phatboy]

[ucicare]

You played, do the math.

Calm down Peachfuzz. Yes I played, and was not very good. That is why I understand the Psychology that rules the College game. The Ghost of Spurrier haunts the hedges at Sandford Stadium and the hearts of Georgia's staff. I am certain that Gawga will win, but I bet that SC gives them fits for a time. The decreasing line simply means that lots of other bettors think that SC has a chance.

For the record, I think Georgia +4 is a sure thing.

I'll take Bama straight up right now against the 'Dawgs at home. Let's say that the loser has to video themselves buying a box of tampons for Icenhour.

it's the 3rd quater with USC and Ohiyomomma.

Can we please just go ahead and banish Ohio from any future game that matters? USC looks bullet proof. I would love to see a one loss Georgia have a shot at them.

knee- gro please.

We had our usual gut check game against USC, but unlike last year we came away with the W. Long flight out to AZ this week, hopefully they will head out on wednesday, to get used to the time difference. I think the game is a 7est game, so that isnt too bad....I just hate when East coast teams play out west and they play at 7 local time.

It's been a long time since I have seen Alabama ranked ahead of Auburn. I am not delusional enough to think that Alabama is really a top 10 team, but if Auburn can't find an offense, they aren't either.

Five SEC teams in the top ten. I can't see Missouri as a powerhouse, or Texas either. Wisconsin is simply not that good. USC is real good, and Oklahoma looks pretty solid. I can't see anybody beating USC, so who beat Oklahoma? Georgia has to play Florida, Alabama, Auburn and LSU. That's four top ten teams. Florida only plays Georgia and LSU. That really is unfair. Alabama and Auburn both play three top ten SEC teams, and Alabama has already beaten Clemson who was ranked 9 at the time.

Florida looks like they only have to worry about beating Georgia. They can lose to Tennessee, because Tennessee has Alabama, Auburn and Georgia on the schedule. I can't see them beating two out of three.

Freaking Gators. Easy schedule. I predict that no SEC team makes the BCS championship game this year, due to killing each other.

And USC will beat Oklahoma by 35 points.

[MAJ Havoc]

War Eagle. An impressive home win. :rolleyes:
That was a road win albeit the ugliest I've ever seen. I can't get used to a school that ran James Brooks, Joe Cribbs, Brent Fullwood, Bo Jackson, Rudi Johnson, Ronnie Brown, Carnell Williams, Kenny Irons, even Brandon Jacobs now running the "spread."

Once in a while, you gotta line up under center in the power "I" and run right at 'em. I'm surprised Auburn didn't take a knee in the end in the shotgun formation. Maybe they could have snapped the ball over the QBs head and given MSU another chance.

Good "D" though. I hope they can score against LSU because the offense surely can't.

[phatboy]

Barry, please dont ever bet on UGA again, you are like the Lee Corso of Fugly.

Curse.....


Damn you!!!

Yea, if we can win out, nobody can say we dont belong. I think both Ok and USC will lose. USC to Stanford (again) Sanchez's leg is only one twist away from being gone.

[ucicare]

I actually didn't bet on Georgia. I took Alabama, UAB and Tulane. I won the Alabama and Tulane bet and lost the UAB bet by 2. Damn UAB. They put up good points two weeks in a row, and can't score a single touchdown on Tennesse.

I started with $55.00 and am now at $66.00. What is the sure thing this week? I am thinking Troy and Ohio State. I think that the fact that Troy's mascot is the Trojan may unnerve the Suckeyes.

I also doubt that Bama will beat the line against Arkansas, but I can't bet against my own flesh and blood.

Arkansas has Alabama, Texas, Florida, and Auburn back to back. Now that is tough row to hoe.

[ucicare]

Here is the bets I am considering. Opinions?

Troy +20.5 over Ohio St (Ohio State has a broken spirit)

LSU -2.5 over Auburn. (I figure that LSU wins 3-0.)

Arkansas +9.5 over Bama. (Bama by 2.....9.5 is a bunch to overcome on the road)

Miami -3.5 over Texas A.M. (I think that Miami will beat them by 20)

UCLA +1 over Arizona. (UCLA can't be that bad can they?)

Tulane -6.0 over UL Monroe. (Tulane is due. They are decent.)


I am betting on 4. Help me pick the best 4.

[MAJ Havoc]

LSU -2.5 is a lock. I can't believe it's not -9.5. AUs defense must be worn out by now (not to mention their punter)

I'd take ARK +9.5. I think Bama wins by 7.

Tulane is a better team than ULaMo, but are they worn down after Bama and ECU back to back? Maybe a close game but the Wave should cover with a 7 pt victory.

Miami's offense has been flat but TX A&M may suck even more. Hurricanes slap Texas again.

Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

[phatboy]

I think Alabama is going to have to face the 'week before UGA curse'

Carolina loses to Vandy and falls out of the top 25 the week before UGA comes to town.

Az State loses to UNLV (who?) the week before the dawgs get there.

Is that the plan of the NCAA, UGA to go undefeated but all the teams they play are out of the top 25?????

I think its a conspiracy.

[ucicare]

I think its a conspiracy.


Word on the street is that UGA VI was seen humping a Rainbow Poodle.

Thats bad Karma, not a conspiracy.

[MAJ Havoc]

I am taking LSU -2.5. (Like I really need more of a reason to hope Auburn loses.)

Brad Lester is injured, the spread sucks, special teams is weak, and the defense is tired. LSU will run all over Auburn. That number will surely rise as everyone takes the LSU action this week.

[phatboy]

I agree that the spread sucks. Thats why I like it whenever UGA lines up in the power I.

Hell I prefer the Wing T to the spread.

Brad Lester is injured, the spread sucks, special teams is weak, and the defense is tired. LSU will run all over Auburn. That number will surely rise as everyone takes the LSU action this week.

As you predicted the spread went to 3. Probably will go higher. Against all wisdom I took Auburn and 3. Tuberville has a history of winning the first big game. He may blow others, but his history as an underdog against top ranked teams is pretty good. LSU is good, but not God. I think Auburn wins, or at least keeps it very close.

I also took Tulane -6 and Troy +21. I pretty much expect to lose all my money this week.

[ucicare]

Just few Auburn trivia facts to make me feel not so crazy for picking them over LSU.

Aub has won 14 of the last 17 SEC road games.
Auburn enjoys a 15–9 record versus top-10 opponents since the 2000 season, and have won 9 of their last 12.
Auburn's home record is 14–2 in night games since the 2000 season.
Auburn has won 15 of their last 16 games when wearing all-white uniforms (as visitors. They will be in Blue and White Saturday, but they are the visiting team)

God I may choke on my own vomit when I write this - here goes -

WAR EAGLE!.

Good points except that Auburn is at home this weekend vs. LSU. They are not wearing white and this is not a road game. What does your math tell you now?

Last year: Night game at home vs. South Florida - AU lost in OT.

I agree they man up on big games. They beat Florida the past two games (UF's only blemish in their Nat'l Champ season 2 years ago). And AU was a last second play away from beating LSU (last year's Champ). BUT, I watched last Saturday's debacle against Miss St and unless the AU defense and Special Teams score, I can't see AU getting any points. Unless they bring back Kodi Burns to at least add the option/bootleg threat (nobody is biting on Chris Todd fakes), they don't have a chance.

1st down: take a knee, run some clock, rest the defense
2nd down: take a knee, run some more clock, rest the defense
3rd down: lob a deep pass; encourage an interception; get into position to make the tackle, if this fails:
4th down: punt out of bounds
Play defense and try to run an interception or fumble back for 6
The key is to wear down the opponent’s offense

It's just crazy enough to work.

Bama tried that Shula's third year, and it produced 10 wins.

Of course it cost him his job the next.

[ucicare]

Alabama's offense didn't look nearly as good as the score indicates. The offense only went 4-11 on third down. They broke a bunch of long runs, but really didn't consistently dominate. The defense gave up a bunch of yards (+300) and the time of possesion was more than 10 minutes in Arkansas' favor.

The four interceptions are deceptive. Two were gifts for touchdowns. I suspect that somebody paid off the Arkansas QB. (Two were spectacular though.)

I still like our chances against Georgia next week. So far I picked the Troy game with the points. I just need Tulane top hold on and for Auburn to lose by 2. I hope Georgia wins in quadruple overtime and has 22 starters out next week due to exhaustion.

Clemson pasting 54 on Spurriers Cocks? What the heck is that?

My prediction for the night - Georgia is looking ahead to Alabama and plays unimpressively for 3 quarters, but depth allows them to pull away in the 4th for a win.

WAR EAGLE. I really need for them to lose by 2.

[ucicare]

How the help does Auburn SUCK so bad????? Blow a 4th quarter lead twice. Give up the touchdown and not a field goal. Cost me 86 dollars on a parlay.

Like I needed another reason to hate Auburn.

[MAJ Havoc]

I told you that LSU -3 was a lock. Anyway, I thought AU addressed some offense problems and played pretty well despite the final score. Poor punting hurt the field position struggles.

Bama dominated an overmatched Hog team. Petrino loses the Liar Bowl.

UGA showed SEC dominance to the West Coast.

And the Vandy Commode Doors are still undefeated!

If LSU just kicks a field goal at the end I win the bet and the parlay. Auburn would have lost by two, I win big at the window, and Alabama trounces a SEC rival. It was almost a perfect day. Damn Auburn. Freeaking defense gives up 3 second half touchdowns.

Vandy beat a decent Mississippi team. Georgia looked strong. Their RB (Keshon?) is amazing. Alabama better put some cryptonite in their jock straps if they want to hold him in check. Georgias QB has a arm too. He threw a perfect TD pass off his back foot like it was nothing. Jamarcus Russell is the only other person I have seen that could do that easily.

I cashed out of the betting. You know something is wrong with an Alabama fan when Bama wins big, Auburn loses, and they are not happy.

[ucicare]

Where did I get the idea that Clemson beat SC? It was SC State, obviously.

I fear senility.

[MAJ Havoc]

After some thought, I am prouder of Auburn in their loss to LSU than of their win at Miss St. I'd rather have an ugly win than a moral victory but they learned more about themselves by playing a good team like LSU. I just wish they could dial up that enthusiasm at will.

You sound like a Shula era Alabama fan.

Georgia opened a +6.5 point favorite. That's a lot of points in the SEC. I still think that the Elephants have a chance. I felt better about their chances before I saw Georgia's offense in action. Georgia will paste 30 on Bama easily. The question is can Bama score on them.

Auburn fell to 16th in the USA polls, 15th in the AP. That is ridiculous. Brigham Young, Wake Forest and South Florida are ranked ahead of them. Get real.

Auburn opened at a +5.5 favorite against Tennessee. Fulmers freaks have internal problems. Auburn will beat them by a truckload.

Strange, Alabama has fallen to a 5.5 point dog within the the last 5 minutes. Must have been the bankroll I put on them to win.

[phatboy]

It was a hell of a saturday. I wonder if Richt is going to Black Out the Tide, or if he is going to save that for Tn? I heard all the students are going to take Slim Fast to the game and throw them at Fulmer.

It's a Blackout, and Bama is not even a East division opponent.

Can you say "skeered?"

[phatboy]

Hell, gameday is going to be there. Who cares about Ala, its about style now... :)

Plus with TN coming in after the bye, Im sure there was probably talk about blacking them out, but with there recent fall from the buffet, Richt didnt want to waste it.

[phatboy]

from 'www.georgiadogs.com'

“The seniors asked me on the plane ride home (from Tempe on Saturday night) if they could black this game out and I said sure,” said Richt. “When it’s dark outside and the stadium lights are on I think the players and the fans get more excited and I think with GameDay coming, I didn’t see any reason why we shouldn’t. I thought we had outstanding success with the blackout and the fans last year so we’ll be asking them to participate again.”

The Bulldogs matchup against the Crimson Tide marks only the sixth time in the history of the series where both teams are nationally ranked. Georgia holds a 5-0 record in those games, including a 21-10 win over Alabama during the Bulldogs’ 1942 national championship season. The Bulldogs were ranked second in that matchup while the Crimson Tide was third.

Richt said Alabama’s 49-14 win over Arkansas over the weekend was not a surprise to him.

I cant believe they went back to 42.....

[MAJ Havoc]

Auburn opened at a +5.5 favorite against Tennessee. Fulmers freaks have internal problems. Auburn will beat them by a truckload.

I wonder if either team has any gas in their tanks after this past weekend. Auburn players are surely battered and bruised.

I did like seeing Mr. Hatch's (LSU QB) "Welcome to the SEC" pop. He tried that option one too many times. I guess it's different in the Ivy League.

Hatch got his clock cleaned. I bet he couldn't find his dick to piss after the game unless he looked in his watch pocket. That hit cost Auburn the game. Lee came back in and settled down and got a hot hand. The LSU offense rallied around him. Hatch was not going to beat Auburn, and Miles was not going to put Lee back in after that stupid interception. Maybe Auburn will learn not to knock the number two guy out.

Alabama/Georgia went to +7. I think Georgia has much more talent and experience than Bama, but I am hoping that the Dawg's choke. Every underdog gets lucky sometimes. I took Alabama and 7 just because I am in complete denial.

I hope Auburn puts a few more nails in Fulmers coffin. I think he is done at Tennessee. I would not be surprised if Auburn beats them by 28.

Another side of me (gut) says that Auburn is broken spirited over two heartbreakers in a row with LSU. I actually took Tennessee and +6.5 on my weekly wagers because of that. I will be glad if I lose my $5 on this one.

[phatboy]

This is going to be a big weekend. If TN loses to AUB, then comes to Athens in a couple of weeks and loses fulmer is going to be eating ho hos in the unemployment line.

The dawgs are doing the blackout because ALA is the highest ranked team that is going to come to Athens all year. It would be different if TN was up, I think he'd have saved it for that.

Your wife got a boob job? Cool.

[ucicare]

I just watched the replay of Georgia/Arizona on espn360.

Georgia's starting center (Jones?) got beaten pretty bad. I think he is a true Freshmen. Cody at nose tackle for Alabama will manhandle him. Cody manhandled Luigis last week, and the guy is last years Lombardi winner. Georgia will have to double up on him, which frees up a linebacker. It may suck to be a Georgia QB this week.

The best linebacker in America is sitting on Alabama's bench. Georgia needs to hope that Alabama's true freshman linebacker doesn't get hurt and force Saban to play Prince Hall.

I promise not to taunt anyone if Alabama pulls the upset as long as everyone promises to kiss my Crimson ass if they lose.

The new #1 is Oklahoma. This incredible Oklahoma team had a total of 25 yards rushing on 36 attempts against TCU. That

Take Baylor and the points this week. Sooners are swelled in the head with their new underserved ranking, and are looking past Baylor to their date with Texas the next week. Odds makers will give Okie lots of negative points to overcome. Hard to do that we you can't run the ball.

Texas is pretty good, but have to beat a few teams to prove it. We'll see.

[phatboy]

Bama kicked hell out of us I will admit that. We came out as 'bout as flat as possible. I think the team had a serious case of the 'big heads'. Oh well, we got a week off then TN comes to town. I hope this was a wakeup call for the team. OU has a pretty easy BIG12 North Schedule, not playing Mizzou, but they do get both Kansas teams. If they face a good D they will be screwed, put some pressure on Bradford.

Stafford has the arm, he threaded some throws that I was amazed by, of course I think he should throw 10 times a half to AJ Green, he and Duhram got pretty damn good hands. Very dependable. Use Mohamed (SP?) for the occasional shot down field, but oh well.....

Cornerback Aairon Savage (8/7, right knee surgery) will miss the
entire season

I got three tickets to the Georgia/Auburn game. Any want to go see the show? Click here to watch a cool practice video.

Auburn gets ready for Georgia. (http://www.livevideo.com/video/D79F06AFE53142F19BFA8E55D63E2E46/tiger-humps-dog.aspx)

You, me, phatty, at Jordan-Hare. Road Trip!!

Let's see who is up for a designated driver.

I swear to God I'll wear my Bama Shirt and Houndstooth hat.

Dammit!! Corso just picked Auburn to beat Vandy. We're screwed!!!!

Prediction: Vandy is a top 15 team by Monday.

Vandy is Vandy. They lose by 3. (Auburn 5, Vandy 2)

Yes, two safeties from holding penatiles in the endzone.

Geeks shall inherit the turf.



Typical Bama/SEC game. Georgia hangover. Fumbles, penalties, misses FG's and still win. I'll take it.

and OMG.... has Nebraska never heard of DEFENSE?

Damn Corso. Auburn committed 13 penalities (2 were declined). They ran the ball so well in the first quarter that they decided to abandon the run game as a deception strategy. It almost worked, too. On the last possession I told my wife that Chris Todd will throw an interception and Vandy will run the clock out. It happened on the next play.

Well, the pressure is off now. We suck and won't be expected to win any more games. We got everyone right where we want them, bwa-hah-hah-hah-haaaaa!

It's really hard to believe that Auburn is that bad on offense.

I figure that they will pull it together by the Bama game and destroy the Tide's hopes for a trip to Atlanta.

Most of Auburn's injured players are on defense. The offense is abyssmal and special teams is weak. I think it will be an ugly Iron Bowl no matter who wins. It will either be a 10-9 Auburn squeaker or a 42-3 Bama blowout.

[phatboy]

Woo Hoo, we got back on the top 10.....

:)

Bama did look pretty crappy, I guess they was saving all them turnovers till they played a team that couldnt, you know, hurt em....

You get Erin Andrews there I'll DD.

:P

[MAJ Havoc]

Auburn only fell to #20. I thought they would have exited the AP altogether. I'm sure that upcoming loss to Ole Miss will do the trick.

Georgia is getting respect for pasting 30 second half points on Bama.

Georgia will beat LSU and Auburn and Florida. I will be surprised if they even come close to losing another one.

Kentucky is pretty good. Bama has always, as long as I have been alive, played down to average competition. The game was never in doubt.

Ole Miss won't beat Bama now that Bama has their "scare game" out of the way. LSU should beat them, but it's Saban's first trip home and all the emotion to go with it. If LSU has a Purple Out, look for the Tide to roll. Auburn has the best chance to beat Alabama. By the end of the year they should have the offense half way working. Their defense is good. Lots of emotion. Could be a 7 finger salute.

[MAJ Havoc]

I know stranger things have happened but some serious changes must take place for Auburn to even last a quarter with Alabama. They have not played even a good half yet.

Auburn is a 18.5 favorite vs Arkansas this Saturday. Maybe if Arkansas scores -8 points, they can cover.

I jumped on Arkansas +19. i have bet on them every week for the last month, and they are yet to cover the spread. Arkansas HAS to get it together eventually. i am banking on Auburn scoring their usual 13, and Arkansas getting their usual 7.

John Parker Wilson needs to get laid. If he can't get a little action during an off week, he deserves to be uptight.

[phatboy]

I havent seen us play a complete game yet. Looks like if we get down we get on each other, I would love a copy of the half-time speech when Alabama was in town. If Richt cusses on TV heading into the locker room you know they got an earful....

Yea, what up with that? I mean just cause the players werent talented enough to run the spread doesnt mean you fire the coach.

I was reading the paper today and tobby was saysing who much confidence he has in Franklin, etc. Franklin had a freakout day at practice Tuesday. The players all said it was like two a days.

I knew it was over when Franklin told a reporter that Tubby made him put in Burns in the second half against Vandy. i just can't imagine fring him mid season.

I thing there is trouble in paradise. Thats how the ball rolls when the whole State tilts to the West.

It really doesn't matter though. With the stock market headed to the cellar football is going to be an afterthought pretty soon.

[ucicare]

What is with LSU being a 6 point underdog to Florida?

Is the swamp worth 6 points at night?

[phatboy]

Nope. The swamp aint all that. I wish we would go back to home and away with them gayfers of Floriduh.

[ucicare]

I kind of hate to see Frnaklin go.
The "spread eagle" has a certain appeal to it.

Florida makes the SEC championship game easily. Georgia won't be able to run with them. Buy your tickets now.

Florida dismantled LSU. I mean they REALLY dismantled them. I found it hard to believe. Florida plays nobody else but Georgia.

The only team with a chance to beat Florida is Kentucky next week. Maybe they can catch Florida looking ahead to Georgia.

[phatboy]

LSU looked pathetic.

It's a good thing you dont work for the networks...


Oh, how did your bets go this week?

You doing the parlet card or just going on the over under with a bookie?

I lost 3 out of 4. I lost one by 1/2 a point. I had LSU and 7. How do you lose that bet? The only one that I hit was Aurburn. I had Ark and 19. that was the one I figured to lose.

I have 9.00 left in my betting account. I am putting it all on Missouri next week. I am seeing a Texas massacre coming.

Best team in the country right now is Penn State. Texas is about third or 4th. Oklahoma is 3 or 4. Florida is 2. Alabama is not really better than 6 Texas Tech is beatable. Georgia is missing something. They should be top five, but something is not clicking.

I see Florida playing USC in Miami. I think that USC is not even a top ten team, but the media loves them.

I would give anything to see Penn State and Alabama play in Miami. That would be retro ball.

[MAJ Havoc]

That would be a great game except that I'd actually have to root for Bama. I'm for the SEC but I was hoping UGA would get in.

[ucicare]

Clemson just fired Bowden. Here is an interesting quote.

.....Bowden's dismissal was justified.

"I'd call it karma," he said. "I thought it needed to be done. I think anytime a head coach or someone in a leadership position starts to place blame on his coaches and players, it weakens their respect on the team. His past experiences have shown he's done that."

Hummm. If that is true, then the Karma wagon should be circling Tuberville. Evidently Karma doesn't work on Teflon.

[phatboy]

We didnt punch it in on Saturday like we should have. There were at least 4 opportunities where we got field goals and not touchdowns. They say that TN has one of the best defenses in the SEC, I will say that they have the dirtiest cheap shot defense in the SEC. Its like playing against a prison team. Ridiculous.

But there is still a lot of football left. If our O line keeps getting better we will be set. Moreno looked good, 1st RB to put a century on TN, and Caleb King came in late for a good spark. Massaquou had some really good grabs.

I cant believe how busted up LSU looked.

And what the fuck is up with Oklahoma losing and only dropping to 4????

The "T" in Tennessee stands for THUGS. A team reflects their coach. Fulmer is a low life. He recruits the same.

Georgia has to get their mind right. They have the talent. Actually their COACH needs to get his mind right. Saban was in his head, and it cost him the first half.

You can see the effects of psychology in football up at Clemson. Great talent, and a coach that strives for mediocrity. Just like his Dad, he is a great guy, but at best is unable to pull together a Champion. Bowden SR is the same way. He may die the "winningest" coach in college football, but in 42 years of coaching, he has only had 1 undefeated season.

The "great" Eddie Robinson was the same. He went 44 straight years without an undefeated season.

I am not saying that they aren't good coaches. I am just saying that the elite base their success on the psychology of perfection.

Paterno has 6 perfect seasons. Bryant had 4 perfect seasons. Both of them were disgusted with 11-1 records. Bryant only kept the pictures of his undefeated teams in his office. He didn't have a picture of his National Champions in '73, but he had a picture of his '66 team that was 11-0 but finished third.

Saban hasn't got it, at least not yet. if you look at his record, he has an unexplained loss nearly every year. Richt hasn't got it (yet) either. Spurrier has NEVER had an unblemished record.

Tom Osbourne at Nebraska was undefeated in 3 of his last 4 years. In his last five years of coaching, he compiled a record of 60-3. Now that is a champion. Osbourne's Huskers simply did not believe that they could be beat.

[phatboy]

Those Osbourne teams were pretty damn good. They put up like 70pts a game.

[phatboy]

Oh, and since I cant edit and add this.....

I think the psychology of it is a valid point. Even our fans are that way. We dont say, 'we are going to kick their asses all over the field', it's always 'should be a good game' people are afraid to jinx the game.

How funny is that?

Oh and I cant wear anything with the 'g' on it, dont know why. We have been getting our asses kicked before, take off the logo shirt, and boom we come back and win.

Go figure.

[ucicare]

Say whatever about Alabama, but deep down I expect to win every game no matter what the odds. I am never surprised when they win, only shocked when they lose. The Bama fan base for the large part grew up in a time when Alabama won a hell of a lot of games for a long time. My parents bought Sugar Bowl tickets every year as soon as they were avaialable. It never occurred to them that they might not need them.

That psychology of expecting to win is huge. Notre Dame used to have it, but something happened to their mojo. nebraska too, but it died with Osbourne.

Alabama has it more than any team I know, and it is for a reason. As sick as it sounds, (and is) Bear Bryant still lives here. I swear their are people who believe that he watches the games from his new tower in heaven. You do know that his practice tower still stands at Alabama don't you?

All during the 60's and 70's Alabama football was the ONLY thing this backwards ass State had that was world class. We cling to football like a tick to a coon dog. Hell, it's still about all we have.

[ucicare]

This thread is as dead as Auburn's offense.

[phatboy]

Well we squeeked by Vandy, of course the bad calls (again) really hurt us...

[Robman97]

Hello

[phatboy]

Hello

Texas has some good games coming up. Of course USC and Penn State dont, so that will probably mean at least one of them will be in the BCS title game.

[ucicare]

Hello

Texas looked awesome. The only thing I wonder about is the apparent lack of defense in the Big 12. It's easy to look like an NFL team if the defenses are Ivy league.

There is no question that the SEC plays defense. A good example of this is the 2004 Cotton Bowl with Alabama and Texas Tech. The Red Rapers hadn't scored less than 23 points in a game all year. Alabama holds them to season lows in everything, and only 10 points.

I think that Texas is a VERY VERY good team. I do not believe that Alabama could outscore them in a shootout, but it would be interesting to see what would happen with Texas against an SEC defense.

My prediction for the rest of the year - Florida and LSU in the SEC championship game. Florida wins easily, and plays Texas for the National title. The only glitch is Penn State. They only have to beat a pitiful Ohio State team to go undefeated. They don't have the talent to beat Texas, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, or USC. but they may back into the NC game because of an undeafeated season.

Screw the BCS. I hate it already.

[phatboy]

I dont see Alabama losing a SEC game. The way LSU looked against SC I dont think they are going to be able to score against Bama's D. Trickeration and luck to beat Carolina isnt SEC Championship material.

I know you are scare't to admit it, but Alabama looks really good. JPW had the game of his life against us, and we'd like to give him another opportunity in Atlanta on the 6th of December. Of course we got a trip to 'Death Valley', Jacksonville (nuetral my ass) and Jordan-Hare in the next 4 weeks. If our team wants its swagger back, now is the time for it to come out. 172yds against a stingy Vandy D puts Knowshown right back up there. If Richt and Bobo trust the line enough to exploit it we will see.

I would like to see some Moreno/King sets in the Backfield, but then again, I am old school and think the Wing T can be run on anyone......

:)

I would be willing to say that Alabama looks good if they could win at least one second half. They lost the second half to Georgia 30-10. to Kentucky 14 -3 and to Mississippi 20-0. Not to mention that they disn't score on Tulane in the second half either. That ain't gonna getcha to Atlanta, unless you are just lucky as hades.

[phatboy]

I think they did the same thing against us that we do when we get a lead (it's been a while), but we go into a prevent defense, rush 3, dont blitz and the opposing team crawls back into it. Then on offense it's usually a couple of runs and an incompletion and a punt.

Against Vandy we were able to move the ball there at the end, which allowed us to run the clock out, the 40 second clock will ruin college football.

It sucks knowing that with 2:30 on the clock, if you have no timeouts, your opponent can run the clock out. Sad.

I hate the 40 second clock already, but Alabama probably would not be undefeated if the old rule was in place.

Woe Eagle

Ouch.

[ucicare]

Wow, what a weekend.

Georgia and Florida looked great. Florida destroyed Kentucky. I think Kentucky was all beat up, but pasting 63 points on them is amazing. The Georgia/Florida game next week should be a war. I can't decide who I think will win. If Georgia's O line was just a little more experienced, I would pick Georgia. Florida has crazy speed at the skill positions, but Georgia can match them. I have this feeling that Georgia is due, and Florida loses this one.

Alabama finally played a full game, and looked good doing it. They simply dominated Tennesse, which surprised me. I knew that Alabama was pretty good, but they actually looked like a National Championship contender yesterday. I think the defense was better without Cody. They used four very quick linemen, and the pass pressure was impressive. Cody is too slow for a pass rusher.

I would love to see Alabama make it to Atlanta. I think beating Georgia or Florida in the SEC title game would be more difficult than beating Penn State or Texas in a NC game.

Oh, and Phatboy, if you see Richt tell him that he needs a haircut.

[ucicare]

This is the funniest thing I have ever seen. It's a shame that only two people on here will get it, and only one of them will even watch it to the end.

Yea, I guess the 6 Million Dollar buyout will do that. I guess they are going to hire the OC that Auburn fired. Maybe if they realized that TDC doesnt stand for Tenneessee Dental College when they recruit these thugs they would have a better team.

With a six mill buyout, I don't feel sorryu for Phil. I feel sorry for whatever idiot takes that job. You think Alabama fans are crazy? At least Alabama has a full size state to recruit.

[ucicare]

Wait a minute! According to the 2006 census update, Alabama has 4.9 million rednecks, and Tennessee has 6.01 million rednecks. Where did the media get the idea that Fulmer has a "smaller State" to recruit from? And it only has two IA schools in Vandy and Tenn., right? Alabama has Troy, UAB, Alabama and Auburn. Wheres the math on that?

[phatboy]

The media is just trying to find a way to take the blame off of ole' pudgy. Realistically any 'good' player from Ky also jumps down. They draw players from all over, and in the past have even snagged a few from Ga. What has caught up to them is the fact that now with limited numbers of scholarships they cant hord away players like they used to (like Nebraska used to) plus todays players want to play now, not wait 3 years for a shot. So Middle Tenneessee State will pick up some good players, UAB, Troy, USF they are all getting quality athletes. I dont think 80% of the players at UT could pass the entrance test for Vandy, but hey, thats what they get.

[ucicare]

One hour until kickoff. I don't feel good about the LUS Coonass Tigers.

Not good at all.

Half time at Georgia. Dang the SEC is a tough leauge.

Except for the losers in Tennessee. First they lose to a pitiful UCLA, and now Wyoming is frosting their balls. How embarrassing.

[ucicare]

Sucks to be Texas. They beat Oklahoma 30 days ago, and today they are ranked behind them. How lame is that for the BCS?

[phatboy]

Looks like Bama Squeeked by the Coonasses. I dont know if LSU 'manned up' for this game or not, they looked pretty decent at times. UGA needs to fire the defensive coordinator. He made the freshman QB look like mike vick. Oh well.

[ucicare]

Bama did good to win. It is very different playing as an underdog on the road versus being ranked number one. They almost folded, but came back and proved their worth. I think the fact that they stayed number one shows the respect the voters had for LSU.

As fun as it is, I don't think that Alabama can beat Florida. I am not sure that the New Orleans Saints could beat Florida right now. My hope is that Florida has peaked, and will fizzle. I also hope that Alabama hasn't peaked yet.

Time will tell. In the mean time please tell Richt to keep winning. We will need Georgia to be ranked high to help Florida get to the BCS championship if (ok, when) they beat Alabama.

[phatboy]

Florida has a couple of patsy games before playing florida state to end out the regular season, playing carolina this weekend and the citadel next weekend. I dont think florida state can beat them, but a physical defense like carolina and fsu can cause some problems for offensive players. Alabamas late bye before auburn is good, hopefully they can take advantage of it, and get everyone ready for the next couple of games. Auburn is going to play them hard, and should, but bama should come out on top. Alabamas run defense is going to have to step up against the gayfers.

[ucicare]

"gayfers"

now that is funny, I don't care who you are.

[ucicare]

Kind of feels like both Georgia and Auburn lost, doesn't it?

I wish the iron bowl was over. I had a feeling that Auburn would beat either Georgia or Alabama. Damn you Georgia.

I humbly reserve all smirking. There are still two games left to play.

Hell, we get to watch OU play Mizzou for the Big 12 Championship. based on a bs tie breaker. I would love to see a USC vs UT Rose bowl, would be a 2005 Natl Champ rematch.

Let me get this straight -

1. OU and Mizzou are playing for the conference title, yet Texas beat both of them.

2. If Mizzou beats OU, then Texas moves to number two and can play for the national title, despite the fact that they skipped the conference title game, didn't win their conference, or even win their division.

3. Texas Tech, who did beat Texas and has the same one loss record as several other teams, will be ignored.

4. Auburn stays home for the holidays watching reruns of their stunning 3-2 victory over Mississippi State.


College football. Got to love it.

[phatboy]

I think TX is screwed either way. The same thing that applied to UGA last year, we got snubbed in the BCS because we didnt win our 'conference' and ended the season No. 2

LSU lucked out that TN played in the SEC Championship, because 1)We'd have kicked their collective Asses and 2) it would have really screwed up the BCS (again).

That was the one thing Corso and all those other Pole Smokers were saying, "Georgia cant play in the BCS title game because they didnt even win their own conference (we tied for the SEC East but lost the tie breaker head-to-head with TN).

I just hope this bowl season isnt all 'SEC vs. ACC' and 'PAC-10 vs. Big 10' like it has been in the past. They need to get some west coast/east coast games. There are more than enough capable teams. I understand the fans arent going to travel as much, but it would be great to see USC and Florida instead of USC-Ohio State.
