This will only interest a few, but I would like to hear your SEC football predictions for the week. To keep it simple, I was going to limit this to games that involve SEC teams playing each other. This week - Sept 9 Auburn vs Mississippi State (Aub +21) Alabama vs Vanderbilt line (Ala + 16) Georgia vs South Carolina (Geo +3.5) Auburns offense is better than an decent Mississipi State D. Irons runs for 150. M-States offense couldn't score on Hoover High, much less the mighty Auburn D. Barry's Prediction - Auburn wins, but does not make the line Auburn 23 - Mississipi State 2. (Irons fumbles through the endzone while showboating on his way to a fourth touchdown on a 69 yard run. Other wise, Auburn would have won 30 - 0.) Alabama by 16? Didn't anyone see Vandy give Michigan all they wanted for 3 quarters? What a minute. Vandy always does that. They fold more that a rookie at the world championship of poker. So, Alabama finds a running game in the second half. DJ Hall catches a miracle pass for a TD. Tiffin's son earns a starting job with 3 field goals after Alabama's "jumbo package" can't punch it in for TD's. Vandy plays well, but finds a way to lose again. Darby gets his 100 yards on 16 carries. John Parker Wilson's luck runs out, and he gets two prayer balls intercepted. Alabama wins 26 13, with the defense sealing the game with an interception return for a touchdown. Look for an Alabama punt return for a TD as well, (called back for holding no doubt.) Georgia - SC I looooovvvvve the headlines on this one - "Dawgs try to lick the 'Cocks, get Spurred in the process." Georgia is better, but SC is just due. Georgia has bad karma with Spurrier coached teams. SC gets outplayed, out gained, and out hustled, but wins a close one due to Georgia's gifts. Expect a blocked punt, fumble, or intercetion to win this one, maybe in overtime. Final - Georgia 23 - S.C. 24. Oh, and watch Spurrier do the "Gator Chomp" when he shakes hands after the game with Coach Mark Richt. Other games - Ole Miss - who cares Tennessee - Fulmer sucks. I hope they lose. Kentucky - Another loser. LSU - I dread the trip to the Bayou. I hope they win and get big headed. Arkansas - They need a coach and a new mascot - Go Pigs! Florida - Idiots for passing on Spurrier. Urban Meyer is still living in a fantasy that the speed in the SEC is comparable to the speed in the WAC. He might lose this game to Central Florida. Pretty boy meyer deserves no less that a good ass kicking from a nobody like Central Florida.
Ole Miss musters a win over Mizzou but does not cover 8.5 Miss St can't score but they can hold Auburn for a half. AU's depth at HB will wear down a decent MSU defense and Auburn covers 21 by final whistle. Lester gets more carries than Irons. Cox throws one pick. Vandy hangs with Bama for a quarter, then Bama pulls away, covering 17. Florida wins but does not cover 24. LSU wins by 10 over Arizona as they rest their better players for Auburn next week. Utah St loses to the Hogs but Arkansas does not cover 29. Rumblings to fire Nutt get louder. Tenn beats Air Force (whoopee) Georgia over So Carolina by 6. Spurrier is good but loses many recruits to Clemson and is still playig Holtz's team.
You need to check the record of Richt coached teams vs spurrier, yes including FSU, richt is spurriers daddy. Me and Richt been friends since way back....
This will interest probably no one, but here are my predictions for the first round of the AFL (Australian Rules Football) finals series. West Coast to beat Sydney by 8 points Fremantle to beat Adelaide by 18 St Kilda to beat Melbourne by 10 Collingwood to beat Western Bulldogs by 30. You can check here on Monday (Sunday afternoon your time) to see if I was right.
Yawn, the race to the chase is about to begin wake me up for playoffs. Want to fight about it we can go out back.
Do they have an offensive line in ARF? Or even a defensive line? And who is the guy in the funny hat?
No, they have offensive and defensive lines in rugby union and league, though they're comprised of the same players. AFL is more of a player vs player game, like say basketball but with tackling and fighting. And the guys in the funny hats (there's two of them, one at each end) are the goal umpires. You can learn more about the great game of AFL here.
I actually wrote wanted the first time and changed it, didnt want to sound like a mo. :lol: I dont get to see too much ARF here, they used to show it on the duece, but they havent shown it in a while.....maybe I need to get BBC...or someother colorless, humorlous channel.
Actually Chester I'm sure you knew I was refering to SEC not AFL. I believe I played some Aussies in football though in my last unit. but it might have been Scotts. Which one is it uses the term Blokes all the time? Any ways it was a cluster fuck cause we did not understand their rules nor they ours. When it was over we each had a deal of respect for each other I could not tell you who it was that won.
That explains the smirk on his face, and the blurred spot looks like hand speed........ Of course the double jointed look is kinda interesting.......
It's just the start of the 4th quarter, but dang Auburn looks tough. I hate them even more. I feel sorry for Croom. The first Black SEC coach should have gotten a better team to work with. Sherrill left him lacking.
Well, it's Sunday morning here and so far I'm 0 from 3. I love this finals series ... so unpredictable!
