Other than LSU-Alabama and OSU-Penn State I don't see any really compelling matchups. Anyone disagree?

NBA and NHL now in full-swing. Anything catching anyone's eye?

Anything else, or can I go get some breakfast?

The Rocky Mountain Collegian: Illustrating Idiocy

I'm pulling for Bammer today

I'd rather we play an undefeated Alabama than a revengeful LSU.

As I'm sure everyone is aware, the officiating (and whining about it) in the SEC is so out of control that Slive (SEC commish) put the hammer down after Lame Kiffen's idiot remarks of last week.  Then he fined Urban Meyer $30K for saying he disagreed with an official's non-call (no disrespect of the official, just disagreement).

Is the SEC going to keep it up by beating on the coaches (some of whom DO deserve it)?  Or will they repair the horrible officiating....those SEC refs will overturn anything.

GO GATORS!!!!!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Da heck wid da zebras...

Hey Ruk!

Speaking of Yellow Hammers & Houndstooth.

I had to laugh, this LSUFreek does some seriously funny stuff.  Takes about ten seconds.  He had some hilarious Gator ones up this week, too.

GO GATORS!!!!!!

 

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Now that's funny!

 
I actually found out that the original guy wasn't seriously injured. Crossing fingers...

ROLL KITTY CAT SMACKIN' TIDE!!!

You better watch it Blonde

The way things are going it wouldn't surprise me to see the SEC fine fans that talk trash about the crummy officiating. You better watch it.  

Lame Kitten deserves what he gets. Urban Myers didn't deserve that.

Semper suprene nitens

OBAMACARE: If it ain't good enough for my Congressman then it ain't good enough for me.  

 

I'd like to see them try it.

The officiating has been just horrible this year, and the past few weeks in general in the SEC.

I can't wait until Lame Kitten opens his mouth, yet again.   I figure Slive will hammer him with about $150K and a ride on the oak for a game or two.

BTW....did you actually click that link?  'Cause I thought it was a really good joke on those clowns.

GO GATORS!!!!!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Kitten riding the oak will

Kitten riding the oak will not hurt them. His daddy, the Tomcat, is the brains behind the Vols.

Doesn't matter either way.

Gators clinched last week.  You all still have to play for a spot in Atlanta.

We'll be there.  Will you?

GO GATORS!!!!!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

Good,

 Gators clinched last week.

 Because there is nobody we would rather play.

My West Craven Eagles lost

My West Craven Eagles lost a heartbreaker to Havelock last night 42-40. This gave the Rams the Coastal Conference title. Both teams will be in the state playoff which begins next Friday.  Havelock should be seeeded either 1 or 2 in the  3A east region. Eagle finish the regular season 9-2. Last year they were 14-1 losing in the state 3A championship game. Indepence High of Charlotte which produced player like Chris Leak, Massaqua, Joe Cox and many others has fallen from its lofty perch as the premeire team in NC high school football.

DOOK-Carolina and it ain't basketball. DOOK is ranked in the top 10 in the nation in several offensive catagories. (DOOK had always been offensive to me.)

I smell an upset today. If Bama plays like they did against Tenn they'll lose.

Sooner-Cornhuskers- I can remember when this was the game for the Big 8 title. It is a shame that is ho hum now. It means something between the fans but nothing on a national scale.

The Heels started the round ball season last night with an exibition against-Belmont Abbey. They are very small Catholic school from the area where I once live. It sure was fari fight-HA. They open the season Monday against Florida International. There are a lot patsies on the schedule but they do play  Ohio State, Kentucky, Texas, and Michgan State (ACC-BIG 10  Challege.)

I've been reading that your Red Zone offense is "suspect", too.  Biggest game of the year for you today.  I hope it's a good one, all the way around.  Nothing interesting on for the first bunch of games today, tho.

Doncha just love being on top?  Everyone is a freakin' critic.  9 million armchair quarterbacks, and 20 million armchair coaches.

GO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!

My daugher just brought my 22 month old grandson in for me the watch while she takes the 3 year old granddaughter to dance.

I couldn't believe that he was wearing an NC State shirt to my house. I ain't taking this younin nowhere until he gets another shirt! After all the Carolina shirts and stuff I bought for those kids . This treason in the first degree.

Then wrap him in your Blue banket, or your Purple and Gold one.

Not a big purple and gold fan but there sure are enough of them around here. I couldn't believe the way they gave that game to VA Tech. 60 yards of penalties in the first half. A TD called back and they didn't even get a field goal out of it.  

My grandson has a Colts blanket he drags around the house sucking his thumb. I tried to take it one time to wash it and give him my Heels blanket. World War III wtih a 22 month old.

Ouch

Get the kid dressed properly and make a dust rag out of that shirt.

OMO....like someone would dress up a kid in Clown School gear for me.  What a nightmare!

Suspect??

Hee hee! I can honestly say that 1 TD in the last 3 games isn't very suspect, red zone or not! LOL!

I really don't have a dog in this hunt. It is just have a feeling about this game. I like Bama. I'm not pulling for LSU. I am just trying to stir something up

I can't stand Auburn because they remind me so much of Clem's son. The only difference between the two schools is that Clem's son has a lake. A seven course meal at Clem's son is the same at Auburn. A six pack and a possum.

It's all good rick.

Smack talkin' in the SEC is pretty much a givin. NC State and Mary Land both need wins badly.  NC needs to bring a damn good game against Duke. Mammy/Virgenny is gonna interesting, gonna catch that one. Good luck my freind.

 I am predicting the Saints beat my sorry Panthers by 35. Delhomme is intersepted 4 times and losses a fumble. It is not going to be a pretty sight for a Panthers fan.

Semper suprene nitens

OBAMACARE: If it ain't good enough for my Congressman then it ain't good enough for me.  

 

Maybe, but

The NFL is a tricky place, teams can catch up to you very quickly if you dont continue to improve. The Saints have been turning the ball over to much the last couple of games, that will get them beat if it continues. Also the Falcons ran the ball on them to much, if not for Atlanta having to play catch-up ball, it could had cost us the win. So I agree, the Saints should win, but they can't help the Panthers. 

I remember not so long ago we were all so angry that we let Jake go and kept Brooks. What is going on up there?

GO TECH!

Wake Forest is toast of the severely burned variety.

 
I'm picking Bama over LSU, Blonde's Gators over Vandy (should be a blowout), and if my Dawgs (who are now playing only for pride) should somehow lose to Tennessee Tech, the entire team and coaching staff, including the water boy, should be frog-marched to the nearest state line and never allowed back into Georgia.   

Ever.

Dave

You need to pull for my Heels to beat DOOK. That would leave the Yellowjackets in good shape to go to the ACC championship game. I honestly don't see anybody over in the Atlantic Divsion that can beat them.  

Have you been watching any of the VA-scUM game? Land Shark staduim is half empty-or half full. Not a good testiment to the scUM.

Too bad that Wake and Tech are on at the same time as Bama-LSU.

Why is Cincy-UConn as the night game on ABC? Basket ball would be ok but not football. I'd rather watch 2 piss ants fight as watch that.

Semper suprene nitens

OBAMACARE: If it ain't good enough for my Congressman then it ain't good enough for me.  

 

Pathetic, Rick

scUM can't even fill Joe Robbie Stadium (I refuse to call it anything else....the man built it with private money....to me it shall always be JRS) a third of the way.

Big show is up next, ought to be interesting.

GO GATORS!!!!

I hope he fails, too.

 

 

rick,

LOL-Sorry, I forgot to include NC, but I figure they'll be able to handle the hated (especially around here) Blue Devils without too much trouble.

such pain

I now know how the Kennedy's must feel. Being an LSU troll sure does stir you folks up. Are you nervous? 

This is going to be tough one

I wish it was in "Death Valley."

Nothing to prove here eh? ..hmm

I just hope its a good game.

I assume you are speaking

I assume you are speaking of "Death Valley as LSU not Clem's son.

Rick, If Slive doesn't want his zebras being bad-mouthed...

...then I would suggest he try hiring some with better vision.  :-)

And the ACC zebras aren't looking much better. GT just got called for roughing the kicker, even though the Tech player was knocked into him.

Result? WF gets a TD.  :-(

Mistakes

 
Wow! LSU goes for it on 4th and gets a 1st, but, the right tackle flinched before the snap. Great play by the Tigers killed by mistake! I am rootin' for Bama, but that was a very good play killed by a mistake on the offense.

Oops! Safety on Bama. 9-10 Bama. I need to check my BP!

Alabama is a better team than LSU this year. That 4th quarter was absolutely weird - clever Miles. In spite of some of the calls and Jefferson going out, Alabama is the better team. Now go kick some Gator a$$.

Thanks Shawn

 
I think we can get past MS and AU ok. The Gats will be different, we will have to get a lot better on O before then. LSU's D was awesome! We'll see... : )
