GUESS THE TALKING POINTS GOT AROUND…
The talking points went out fast and furious in Bristol this week. Examine this sub-box from ESPN.com, and see if you sense a theme:
Rejected headers included:
“Chris Leak folds skirts, runs for panic room weeping at mere mention of Bo Pelini.”
“Les Miles: ‘It’s not arrogance if you really do expect to drink beer from your opponent’s polished skull after the game’.”
“Beano Cook: Gators will be devastated by Heisman hopeful Billy Cannon.”
“ESPN INsider prediction: Florida stands exactly zero fucking chance of getting so much as a goddamned fucking first down, you miserable shitbag.”

After TN puts a beatdown on the Bulldogs tonight (at least they should), then this game puts the Gators in the driver seat for the rest of the year.
To bad we have to suffer through a season of having to watch WVU make it to the NC title game vs. OSU because of their horrendously easy schedule. Clearly UF is the better team, and will be one of only three remaining unbeatens after November 25th. Just as long as ND does a number on USC. Otherwise, it will be a very interesting bowl season.
Regardless, nice win. Thanks for making all the hack-job pundits each crow. Especially losers like Mark May.
Editor retraction. As I write this, the Bulldogs decided to show up and actually play a football game. Who invited them? 24-7 over Rocky Top Fulmer with 3 minutes left in the half.
At least Cal is winning.

Great win by Florida over LSU. My favorite play was when Tebow went “Bo Jackson de-Cleating The Boz” on one or two LSU defenders for good yardage just before the half ended. Can anyone out there put in on YOUTUBE for countless viewings later on? I do not remember a QB knocking the snot out of a defensive player in a key game that badly.
Also, now that Auburn got its rump handed to them by Arkansas - who got 50 points put on them by a USC team that is not a typically strong USC team earlier in the year, where should they end up in the polls? I would dump Auburn in 15th place.
What will this site do, now that all of the amusing Auburn and LSU fans will head for the tall grass and hibernate for the rest of the college football season, and join their Bama cousins? I hope they do not go away and keep on providing their unintended laughs through their commentary.

Yes, I said “leaps in the pools.”
Polls works in that sentence, too.

Miami/FSU should have taught us that sometimes when two hyped teams with no quality wins play each other and neither looks good, it is because really neither one is as good as advertised.
I see LSU losing by 10-14 points in the swamp and Arkansas giving AU a very close game.

I guess oc phil is the only one who gets credit for calling both games. I think “Arkansas giving AU a very close game” counts as a “close enough” win for predicting that one.
Way to go Gators. Given that ND pretty much shot itself in the foot on September 17th, any losses by teams hoving in the #8 to #11 spot should surely give us a few leaps in the pools. GA loses tonight to a much better offensive powerhouse, and the Cal running backs run roughshod over the Ducks. Short of some idiots deciding to vault TN and CAL over ND following their wins because ND didn’t cover some mythological Las Vegas spread, it looks like ND should be #8 by the end of the day tomorrow.
Congrats Orson and the rest of the Gator faithful here. Good win, and nice offensive showing.

…today has put me in the unenviable role of having to be a Florida Gators fan for the next 8 days.
I feel unclean, but I wish your Gators the best this week and next, Orson.

“Beano Cook: Gators will be devastated by Heisman hopeful Billy Cannon.†Yet another classic EDSBS line.
As for my prediction, I would pick LSWho, but with Sling Blade Miles in charge the Gators should win at home.
