FORE! OPEN THREAD, WEEK TWO

Leaving for Happy Valley momentarily with homebrew (“Charlie HeavyWeissen”, if you must know) and malevolence in tow, game starts in 10 hours. I expect nothing but sweet, sweet destruction of Speedo McLimpwrist tonight.

I don’t see how VT hangs with LSU. Interested to see how good Oklahoma’s offense really is. I’d mention Bama/Vandy, but I don’t have time blah blah blah. I’m kind of expecting Michigan to remain in the tank. It’s one thing to suffer soul crushing loss to a nobody program, entirely another to try and salvage the season with a lame duck coach.

Upset Alert has been raised to Orange for BYU @ UCLA (-7.5). I wouldn’t even be shocked to see FIU get over on Maryland if they manage to not turn the ball over elevendy times in the first half like they did against PSU.

HAPPAFOOBAWEVRABUDDY!

Why the hell am I up this early?

Oh right, starting to drink for a 6 o’clock game. That’ll do it.

When things don’t go well on the links, Ole Ball Coach shows ’em his Lloyd Carr face . . .

MaconDawg, things always go well for the Ole Ball Coach on the links. CLICK-CLACK!

Ahh-ight, got the 40 minute run outta the way this morning. Time to shower, don my “Professional Tailgater” T-shirt, shorts (sorry guys, jorts are retired) and head to the tailgate loading site. Donut stop en route, of course. Gotta eat healthy, you know.

OBC’s face looks like he just hit Jesus in the back of the head with his chip.

“Ahhhh, my burst!”

Get in the hole! Click clack, motherfucker!

Don’t tell the Orgeron, but I took Mizzou (-5.5) to cover in Oxford. Missouri will start to crumble next week against Directional Meechigan.
I obtained a nude photo of the broad from that High School Musical bullshit. She’s got a nice body and she’s legal, so I don’t feel bad about it. Thank you, alcohol.
Enjoy the games, everybody.

1) My team is not playing today

2) My father in law and his wife are visiting, which means no Michigan – Oregon game in case he has a break-down

3) My mother in law arrives tomorrow for a “visit”

So, I look more than a little like the OBC up there. Where’s the bourbon again?

Ah, another weekend of FOOTBAW !

COMING….TO YO’ SHIT-TAY!!

Ugh.

I’m an LSU fan…..the amount of saban crap the morons at Gameday have up is lame and embarasssing.

The good news is…while hiking the C&O Canal this morning…I encountered no hokies and 3 tiger fans.

Such a healthy fanbase…..

Strong, very strong, Beta_Gator. I’m only now going for my first bloody.

I still don’t think the OBC’s heart’s in it. I’d say there are no second acts in American lives, but Pete Carroll puts the lie to that.

Anyway, Dawgs roll!

Open thread, dude!

That facial expression is the anti-Enzyte.

Marshall up on WVU woooooooo

Is the Nebraska/Wake Forest game blacked out in Long Island or should I call Cablevision and scream at them?

I already missed the last ten minutes of the GaTech/Notre Dame raping because of those idiots.

Things I love about today:
1. ESPN360.com — to hell with that PPV shit, I get UF-Troy on the computer
2. Spurrier using Corso to raise money for USC
3. Miss Teen USA using her epic embarrassment to further her “career” on Gameday
4. Rivalry games in week 2 (Coal Bowl)
5. Teams that refuse to play cupcakes
6. Going for it on 4th down (Wake)
7. The collapse of the Miami football program
8. Not having to hear about SC today
9. The collapse of the Notre Dame football program
10. The potential for an epic upset by USF
11. Akron 2, Ohio St. 0.

OMFG Duke got a safety!

WE ARE… MARSHALL?!

Is anyone else irked that the homos as ABC/ESPN/DISNEY assigned Ron Franklin to frickin’ OU/UM, when there are three… three!… three potentially ridiculous SEC games this evening?

What’s next? Verne Lundquist calling the WNBA quarterfinals?

Three?

LSU — VT
Auburn — USF
…?

Oh. Right, click-clack. 5:45 = afternoon to me.

If Ohio State loses to Akron, the Big Ten should lose its automatic BCS bid and Jim Delaney should commit harikari on the Big Ten Network.

My Hogs are off today, as well, so I’m scouting for next week. Alabama/Vandy game is more of a contest than I expected in the 2nd half…. wait, never mind.

So Nebraska looks to be a little overhyped. Maybe WVU , too.

Im so fucking angry I dont get ESPNU when I thought that I did.

Oh, Im getting the Army/Rhode Island showdown, obviously, but no GT Samford, come the fuck ON TV!

OH well, it might be a good day for me still, going out in Annapolis tonight and possibly meeting up with some young teachers I met last week.

big east = home of the ole’ defense.

dem boys from oklahoma iz good.

BTW, as a STAUNCH, STAUNCH supporter of Erin Andrews I am sad to see that the last two weeks, she has looked like crap. Anyone else notice this?

“What’s next? Verne Lundquist calling the WNBA quarterfinals?”

Did I miss something? Was he terminated from his position as Alabama’s S.I.D.?

hey, have any of you guys seen nebraska’s blackshirts? they were out last week but they seem to be gone now.

Come on Nebraska! I don’t want to have USC play a team that just lost to Wake Forest. It really wouldn’t help our strength of schedule.

#29

les miles is laughing at you.

gentlemen, i believe billy callahan has made a pact with TEH DEVIL

that’s the only reasonable explanation as to how the huskers got out of wake forest with a win. it sure wasn’t because of keller’s mad skillz as ‘gunslinger’ or because of the blackshirts.

cripes, i’m temped to call the police and request an amber alert for them.

28,

She’s gotten waaay too skinny, I’m kinda worried about her.

First, Miami = teh suxx0rz

Second, what’s up with those kids with the Saban signs in Baton Rouge? Y’all are No. 2 in the fucking nation for chrissakes. Let that shit go.

And, though Bama didn’t blow the doors off Vandy, at least the Tide weren’t as lame as Ohio State (3-2 to Akron at the half).

So, will the Michigan fans attempt to assasinate Carr at halftime, or after the game?

Well Michigan is certainly making the App. State game appear to be less of a fluke.

Nevermind…I’m half expecting to see Carr go into the locker room at halftime, walk straight through the stadium, get in his car, and just drive away

Evidently, the Oregon-Michigan game is being broadcast on the Spice Channel, because I’m watching a total gang-bang.

How did no one see this coming? Did ESPN single-handled inflate these guys, or is this meltdown completely unexpected?

Oh, and one last thing:

Paul Maguire is the worst color-commentator on television….he’s just an absolute jackass

Holeee shit Oregon has opened a 55 gallon drum of whoopass.

Here’s the story:

I lived my first 20 years in Florida. I am an alumni of the great Santa Fe Community College…GO SAINTS…(or not). My mom graduated from UF. My sister graduated from UF’s Law school (with certain deviations that include FSU and Ole Miss, but let’s not talk about that). When it was time for me to decide where to get my degree I chose UGA. What the hell is wrong with me. My mammy has season tickets to UF games…I grew up going to them…..I went to Georgia…I have serious problems. I once, when I was young, had a shirt that said “Standing Tall with Galen Hall.”

Let’s, after everything, give some love to Galen Hall.

HAHA @ Michigan.

It’s so quiet in Michigan Stadium, you could hear a kitten’s neck break.

Lloyd Carr is so fired.

keep the kittens comin’…

Weatherford throws a pick 6 against UAB. Is it too early to call for Christian Ponder?

Poor Mike Hart. He’s got every reason to quit the team in disgust.

This is the second week in a row that the start of the Georgia game will be delayed because of a long-running crappy game before it.

At what point do you switch coverage from the 20-point snoozer to the next game?

Last week, the botched punt that started the scoring vs Okie State wasn’t seen.

Grrrr….

Oh, great. BC just scored again.

Let’s give the ball back to the NC State team that’s thrown it almost 50 times with 3 mins left.

Sonofabitch!

And NC State is threatening…of course.

Jesus Tap Dancing Christ!

Switch to the SEC game!!!

uuuuugghhhhhh….

At least I’m getting the sweet sweet Munson crack.

Telling me South Cackalacka is imploding with personal fouls.

Spurrier: Click, Clack!

Official: Personal foul! 15 yards!

Spurrier: Dammit!

Classic Bob Griese: “We’ve got a small package just for him”

I swear he said “package” 5 times in 20 seconds.

I’m saving any smack talk until Florida wins tonight, then, let loose.

But give credit to Oregon, they may have the butt-ugliest uniforms, but they came to play and showed no respect to Michigan…

Rival, I’ve been going to the Munson-methadone clinic for years. I have to wait for the sun to go down and WSB’s signal to kick in before getting the real thing. Bleh.

Meow…

The Big House should be renamed “The Big House for Stealing Cheese and Making Sandwiches.”

500 kittens ordered to Schindler’s factory.

Is that legendary Duke and Washington Redskins coach Steve Spurrier? What ever happened to him after he left the Blue Devils…I always wondered…I can’t feel bad about M*ch1gAAn. They have more wins than any other football team in NCAA history, it’s about time they fell on some hard times. This does look TERRIBLE for the Big T11en, though.

Last week I claimed South Carolina was overrated. This week, I hope they prove me wrong.

Some select quotes on this very site last week from Michigan fans after getting embarrased by App State.

Does anybody really want to be Oregon next week?

I would say definitively, YES.

Oregon should seriously consider staying on the team bus next Saturday.

Well, they could’ve got back on it at halftime, because the game was over by then.

It’s all been covered except Oregon gets to eat dick next week.

Ass. Showing.

Lloyd Carr should break out his Tanto sword, it is the only way to save face!

Has anyone started talking about a Curse of the Dead Schembechler? They’ve lost every game since he died. Has it been by more points each game?

CLICK TO THE MOTHER F’N CLACK was that an ass kicking. I have just returned from Norman, Ok…basking in the glow of the ACC’s shame. And what do I have to return to? The news that Meeeechigan is getting abused…again. Ohio State actually had to compete with Akron. Oh, life is indeed a great cornucopia of flippin’ sweetness.

Hot hot hot … hot hot hot … U of O is hot hot hot …

God I wish that team would stop embarrassing my conference.

At least the Pac-10 will silence some doubters for about three hours until everybody forgets and I get to read more asshattery.

For everyone’s convenience, just stick these general talking points together to save you some time on your inaccurate Pac-10 thoughts.

1. The Pac-10 doesn’t play defense.
2. The Pac-10 can’t run the ball.
3. The Pac-10 has crappy special teams.
4. The Pac-10 is just [PICK TWO: USC, UCLA, CAL] and a bunch of nobodies.
5. The Pac-10 doesn’t play anybody.
6. The Pac-10 is soft.
7. The Pac-10 doesn’t even have very good passing offenses; they’re just matched against terrible defenses.

michigan fans have hit a new low.

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cas/417493990.html

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cas/417493990.html

Michigan fans have hit a new low.

58:

The Pac-10 plays less defense than the SEC or ACC, and about the same level as the Big Ten and Big XII. Also, it’s generally pretty correct to say that the Pac-10 is USC, generic BCS contender number 2, and a good bet to win one of the middle/major bowl games. It looks like they’re having a stronger than average year this year.

I think Florida made the very real point against Ohio State last year about the kind of defense that gets played in the SEC and, to a lesser or greater extent depending on the year, the ACC. It’s a hell of a lot tougher than any other conference.

Yes, it’s definitely reasonable to look at one data point to the exclusion of all others. That’s a good solid way of doing things. When in doubt, just state your opinions as fact; that’s good too. I very much approve, and I’m glad I could give you a head start.

Keep up the good fight, Erik — these folks aren’t ones to let little ol things like facts get in the way of subjective, ignorant opinions though, so you’ve probably got a long road ahead of you on this one.

CLICK CLACK!

Click cluck… more appropriately.

Oh, don’t forget:

8. The Pac-10 has had nine conference champions* or co-champions in the last eleven years. However, the SEC is the conference in which teams fight tooth and nail to beat other schools seen by outsiders as mediocre.

• The only team not to share in this honor is, of course, North Nogales Vocational School and Tire Shoppe, whose last share in the championship was 1993.

Is now the right time to say something about ‘UGA fans’ and ‘digging out old voodoo dolls,’ or would it be more appropriate to assume that said voodoo dolls were never put away in the first place?

Oh, and because it seems to be the done thing, CLICK-CLACK!

Oh, my! That ‘Evil Genius’ has done it again tonight, this time to UGA in Athens. How sweet it must be for the ‘Cocks and the Ol’ Ball Coach. You know how much SOS just loves to whup UGA. I am NOT looking forward to UF playing them this year.

Wow. That was the worst offensively-called game since the GA Tech game last year.

Awful. More dropped balls. Some weird plays that lost bunches of yards. Settling for field goals again.

Georgia is not a top 10 team. Neither is South Carolina, but they were the better team tonight. Georgia couldn’t stop them running late. Ridiculous.

Trips to Knoxville & Tuscaloosa for the Dawgs do not look promising.

Shit. I had money on UGA.

I am still reeling from the Click Clack of the Old Ball Coach today in Athens…Stafford was terrible and so was the play calling…and did VA tech bother to show up for the LSU game?

Rival,

yeah, no more “trick plays” for GA…we can’t handle it…I am consoling myself with LSU

Gators wear jean shorts? Of course we do. Nobody else has the balls. Click clack

Our defense looked stout tonight. Still not impressed by our offense but we gashed ’em enough to win.

Go Cocks!

Flip 68 for UF, why do we give 31 to Troy.

The Magnolia State pays again this week. Thanks to Sly and the Orgeron for hooking up up the bourbon and herb for next weekend!

After two games it is evident….Our offense is sharp on execution and the playbook, we got the talent…but I would say our biggest problem is lack of experience. Too many stupid mistakes and lost some poise tonight when Troy rallied. The Defense was on the field too long and with Troy down by a large margin, they needed to pass constantly, which wore out our defense.

Special teams look a lot better than last year.

Who is using one data point to prove somethign to the exclusion of everythign else? Just because Michigan sucks donkey dick doesn’t make the PAC-10 any great shakes. Please.

Yep, and when you find me saying that the Pac-10 is some “great shakes” because of this game, you’ll have a point. As it is, I can only assume that you just like the noise your lips make when they smack together.

Is it just me, or are the media really blowing the Miami-Oklahoma game out of proportion?

LSU looks scary-good.

88:

Yes. A thousand times yes.

Damn. WKU beating up on a NAIA team? There’s something wrong with that.

Pac-10 also breaks both of the two longest winning streaks in college football coming into this week.

91: Boise State and _?

Holy shit, LSU is… holy shit. Holy shit.

I’ve noticed that Auburn fans are extremely excitable. Even if they are playing poorly against a weak team or just got destroyed the week before, they cheer as if they are the best team in the world killing another great team.

That’s awesome if you are a fan I guess, but seems kind of obnoxious to an outsider such as myself.

If Auburn fans are excitable, then you’d better give ‘em some space right now so you don’t get taken out by accident during the rage…

LSU… holy shit, that was a beating they handed out.

Meanwhile, over on Versus, Wisconsin finally managed to hang 20 on UNLV with a minute to go. Woo Big Televen!

92,

Brigham Young

Wow, the Pac-10 beat two mid-majors. Somebody hold the presses.

Right now I’m utterly confused by what’s going on. UNLV, South Florida, it’s like Appy State got all these traditional doormats to wake up and Fight The Powers That Be.

I’m really, truly, utterly terrified of what the BCS championship picture is going to be like. USC is not safe. No traditional power is safe.

Anybody else see the USF fan dressed in Greco-Wrasslin’ tights tug his pecker on National TV? Stay classy, South Florida.

Oklahoma gets the nod today boys, but LSU is scary.

Naturally Bama fans will claim three victories today, 1 against Vandy, 2 because Saban is the only reason LSU is even a school, and 3 because the mere arrival of Saban has made Auburn start to suck and drop OOC games to unranked teams that have only been playing football for 10 years.

What’s really going to be funny to watch is how Bama fans and Nick Saban are going to take credit for beating themselves when LSU kills them – Nick Saban is soo good that he is the only coach who can build a program so deep and so fast that only that program can beat him…and I am dead serious, Bama fans will find a way to glorify Saban and still give him credit if he loses to LSU.

Nebraska will get drilled by USC.

Penn State looked pretty good – JoePa has turned things back around – nice bowl win last year and nice start to this season.

My Buckeyes need to take better care of the ball – we’re young, playing more freshmen this year than I can ever remember playing in the past. The defense is okay, but the O-Line is an issue and a serious one.

20-2 doesn’t look or sound good, but if you said 68 total yards of offense for the Zips and 16 straight 3 and out series, 20-2 doesn’t sound sooo bad. Granted it’s Akron.

1. hahahahaha

1. You have an awful memory, as Michigan lost to Appy State by 2, which in your fucking world, means they lost to USC by 1 and tied Ohio State.

App State became the modern day Public Enemy for all the “creampuff” schools who used to be victims and made all the smaller schools wake up and “Fight the Power” Yeeeeeeeahhhhhh boyyyyy- bass how low can you go death row what a brotha know— the brotha knows they handed Michigan their asses to em, and place the Curse of Coach Schemblechererer on Michigan, its like they buried him under the 50yrd line and he knows the team is overrated and sucks. One thing is for sure, Les Miles can win the Natl Title @ LSU and leave for Michigan at the end of the yr before Saban gets his evil empire rollin in Tuscaloosa and whoops him next yr. Alabama WILL NOT be LSU this yr. LSU VS FLA is gonna be the game of the yr. And damn South Fla, with a bunch of Div 1 non qualifiers and Prop 48 thugs, beat the crap out of AUBURN. The ball coach click clacked the Dogs in GA.

Does Carr get fired this week? Is it too early, or do they play Notre Dame and see what happens there?

Oh yeh by the way, Lloyd Carr will never sleep again with the Ghost Of Bo haunting him til Lloyds hair turns white. He will not be able to get the sounds of screamin kittys and snapping necks out of his head, or the call of App States color commentators, and the site of the disappointingly common appearance of Oregons plain jane uniforms as they were throttled like a boat race by Phil Nike’s version of Stormtroopers at the Big House of Horrors, Maized and Confused. I think we would forgive Lloyd Carr if he went out like Janis or Jimmy Hendrix and just started main lining smack and smoking an 8 ball a day til his heart exploded. Or this ends up on You Tube, with him, a gun, a room, close the door, and a single shot rings out with the muzzle flash lighting up the night then a muffled thud.
Then 2 mins later they offer Les Miles 8,000,001.99 to come to Michigan’s Not So Vicious Wolverines now, in advance in guaranteed money to beat Sabans current contract by 1.99 so the Big Hat can come home to the Big House.

So true OSU Buckeyes. I really get the feeling that with LSU’s every victory, every touchdown, every sack, they say to themselves “damn, look how good we’re going to be in a few years!”

Lloyd’s gonna upgrade to puppies this week in the garage.

Auburn got beat like they stole something. And Trey Blackmon probably did.

And that’s why you’re Auburn.

Number 99,

Geez, obsessed much? Shouldn’t you be gloating about Michigan’s demise as opposed to pissing on Bama fans? I’d yammer about your struggles against Akron but I could care less about some Big Ten team.

Has anyone ever noticed that Kerwin Bell rhymes with Charley Pell? Sit on that for a while. Jubilation in the land.

Let’s go to the scoreboard kids.

Wins (against BCS or ranked) – Losses (BCS or not)

Big East 3-1
Pac10 5-2
SEC 3-2
Big12 6-4
Big10 0-4
ACC 0-5

Big East / Pac10 a wash with Cincy>OSU and Wash>Syr.
Big East>SEC reinforced by USF>Auburn
Pac10>SEC reinforced by Cal>Tenn
SEC>Big12 reinforced by UGa>OSU and Auburn > KSU
Big12 has three wins over Big10 / ACC
Big10 has losses to Pac10, Big12, MAC, and the FCSfkaI-AA
ACC has losses to BigEast, SEC, Big12, and C-USA

And a few predictions:

1) it will work out about the same in the bowls.
2) all Big East and non-USC Pac10 wins will be dismissed as flukes.
3) 2008 preseason polls will look roughly like they did in 1980.

And against the spread, so far:

http://www.covers.com/pageLoader/pageLoader.aspx?page=/data/ncf/statistics/2007-2008/ats.html

Pac10: 10-5, .67
BigEast: 7-4, .64
Big12: 12-9, .57
Big10: 8-8, .50
SEC: 9-10, .47
ACC: 9-12, .43

Very hard to argue that the Pac10 and BigEast have not been underrated.

Auburn fans are excitable because (as an Auburn fan at the game who was in the stands) I have never seen a finer performance by an Auburn defense. The offense is in trouble.

Seriously, walking back to the car I felt bad for Cox because the only person less welcome on Auburn’s campus is probablly Robert McGinty.

Reference for Robert McGinty for Auburn and Gator fans under 27 or so.

http://offseason.wordpress.com/2006/11/13/iron-bowl-time/

That sumbitch can stay gone. Serioulsy though about Cox, if he’s healthy enough to play I’m tired of hearing how banged up he is. If he isn’t healthy enough to play, he or the coaches should take him out before he does long term damage.

Good fans cheer loud when their team is good and louder when their offense is lousy and their defense is manning up. Obnoxious my ass.

Uh… wait, what happened? Where am I? I’m so confused…

therz sum meen meen peeple who be postin’ up in heyah. Sending sympathy hurts just as bad as pilin’ on. Example: Michigan, I am really sorry that your season is in shambles and that this time next year your sidelines will be graced by a big hat with a big mouth.

I think doubts about the Big East will justifiably persist until the marquee teams (ie, WV and L’ville) prove that they have actual defenses – the early returns can only remind people of the defensive comedy of errors in their showdown last year.

sigh…i work during the new show time. so depressing.

It’s going to take a long time for the barner’s to wash the taste of Cox out of their mouth.

Honestly, in all my years as a fan, I have never seen a beating like the one I witnessed last night. Most impressive game I’ve seen LSU play. Offensive explosion (598 yards) and a stifling, dominant defense (167 yards) the likes of which I haven’t seen in the same game for the Tigers against a decent foe.

And nothing personal, but it has to suck to be a Dawg fan. Same coach, different school, same result, click, clack. Spurrier probably sleeps with a smile on his face. Now I have to go get all nervous about him and USC.

Top three right now is:
LSU
Oklahoma
USC

Next three are
Penn St.
Wisconsin
Cal/Washington/UCLA

Washington continues to impress. We’ll see if that schedule wears them down though.

Somebody make me a lolfootball picture of Beamer in the car with the cat that’s screaming “Jesus CHrist it’s LSU! Get in the car!”

#100… spot on about Bama fans.

What the Tuscalosers don’t want to acknowledge is that Saban’s recruiting genius amounts to- having kept the majority of Louisiana kids in Louisiana & poaching a kid here & there from another state, just like everybody else.

But then again they also don’t want to admit he left East Lansing b/c he couldn’t out-recruit Michigan & said as much when he came to LSU but hey, what’s a little historical fact to get in the way of a Bama delusion or 12.

Would all the “Miles needs to win a big game” and “Miles is winning with Saban’s players” kindly STFU.

peachy:

Didn’t understand it then, don’t understand it now.

WVU-Louisville, 78 points, 1008 yards, defensive comedy of errors
Michigan-OSU, 81 points, 900 yards, offensive showcase
Texas-USC, 79 points, 1130 yards, greatest game ever

Or better yet, Statprof, USC’s 50-42 win over Fresno a couple years ago in what was arguably the greatest game ever.

119, “winning with other coach’s players” is the single dumbest idea ever to leak out of somebody else’s mouth in the sportsworld. I don’t recall Saban being at & running practices nor do I recall him in the film room preparing gameplans nor do I recall him on the sidelines calling the plays in the last 3 years.

Anyone who regurgitates that ideology is using the most simplistic logic imaginable b/c if it was that simple, why do they even practice or watch films at all? Or better yet how did Saban win anything with Di Nardo’s players?

Those were Arena League scores, all of them – you won’t hear me say the OSU-UM or USC-UT were great games, and I can hardly be held responsible for what the talking heads on TV say, no? And let’s not get distracted from the point here, which is that WVU and UL had mediocre defenses last year, and they’ve looked much worse so far this year. Are you really going to argue that UL-MTSU was “an offensive showcase?”

#121
Just for the record, Saban said it himself, paraphrasing of course, “Well you see what LSU did to ND in the Sugar bowl, we recruited most of those players and they were part of what we were building there.”

Bammers bought it hook line and sinker. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a Bama fan say, “man look at LSU, those are Saban’s players, that will be us in a year maybe two.”

Note to self, didn’t Saban’s version of LSU get killed by VT? Didn’t Saban’s version of LSU get beat by UAB? Didn’t Saban’s version of LSU have their asses handed to them 12 times by double-digits, two of which were 30 point losses?

This is Miles’ team, his coaches, his schemes, his LSU. Saban can go f-himself along with the Bama nation.

I’m out, I have a cooler to go clean for the trip to Washington, I heard the scenic view is nice but the bathrooms suck.

Oh, and thanks Michigan, thanks for being the boat anchor thus far this year.

Speaking of Saban…I bet he’s kicking himself right now…just think about it for a second. He’s made 2 terrible career decisions both based on money.

1. to leave LSU for more $$$,
2. to leave Miami for more $$$(long term).

Had he at least done the right thing and toughed it out at Miami for one more year, he could have been in the perfect position to go back to LSU. Of course he didn’t know Carr would tank and Miles would go to Michigan (which we all know is going to happen now), but had he done the right thing he probably would have been able to go back to LSU.

Instead he is stuck in college football hell, where his every word is over-analyzed, he has a bunch of rebuilding to do, if he doesn’t win right away they will run his ass off, and there is a very good chance that his career goes down the tubes if he fails at Bama, which is a little more likely to happen than people think. This is not 1970, there are not unlimited scholarships, Bama has been exposed as one of the cheating-est programs in the country and is being watched very closely, the SEC is tougher than ever, and on and on. It is almost inevitable.

now that I got that off my chest I will go tend to my cooler bitches.

#117…

That lolcat image made my afternoon. Your team is scary good, congrats on the win!

Did I just read an OSU fan write about another program cheating? Hilarious.

osu buckeyes:

You rant like a jilted lover. Were your sexual advances toward Saban expressly rejected or just ignored?

You seem to be an expert on Saban, Bama and all things SEC yet you apparently cheer for a craptastic Big 10 team. I wouldn’t be surpised by such bs being spouted by LSU fans (who could care less about Saban or Bama given the team they have this year) but an OSU fan? What gives?

And 100+ cocktails to LSU…best team in the nation by far. I would not be at all suprised if they give up less than 100 points total all season including SEC championship and BCS title game (14 games total). As long as they don’t totally screw up (like the conservative play-calling at Auburn last year) there is no one who can beat them…

And they might be better next year when Miles goes to Michigan and Bo Pelini takes over the team…

I think it’s a little early to crown LSU the national champion. I too would vote them #1 over USC, but that’s because we haven’t seen much of anything out of USC yet. It’s not because I think the Trojans are somehow deeply flawed.

#130
Like I tell everyone else who doesn’t live in Alabama, you have no idea what it’s like and what the people are like, namely Bama fans. I came to Alabama with an open mind and very little knowledge of the people or the culture; after the initial culture shock wore off I was able to see it for what it is. Hence my distastes for all things Bama. Saban on the other hand is just an arrogant jerk who treats people like dirt – which is why no one would leave Mich State and why it took him so long to put a staff together at Bama.

It’s not rocket science and it’s not jilted love – it’s just the result of an outsider living in Alabama and being able to see things from a different perspective.

119- there is no reason to fear USCe as long as the LSU team makes it to the stadium in good order. UGA tried their best be blown out last night, and they could only manage to lose by four. Click, clack indeed.

Watching replay of Mizzu and Ole Miss – 35-7 Mizzu in the 3rd quarter. Coach O looks so pissed watching his defense get shredded by Mizzu…I kind of like this Mizzu team, they look well coached.

A Mizzou team that looks well-coached? Hmmm, does not compute.

Sorry…what I came here to say is that this entire weekend has made my brain’s pleasure center damn near explode, and that cannot be attributed entirely to the crack. FOOTBAW!

tOSUBuckeyes, are you and osu buckeyes one and the same? you both share a hatred of Bama that even Auburn fans would think is excessive.

and statprof, don’t you think it’s a little early in the season to pull out records vs. ranked teams and records vs. spread? both early season rankings and point spreads are notoriously inexact.

for example, in 2005, we (UF) beat then 3rd ranked Tennessee, who only ended up with 5 wins that season. It didn’t mean we were better than all but 2 teams, it just meant the early season rankings (on which you’re relying) were wrong.

Ummm….I’d just like to add…..Fuck Ohio State. Go slap a couple of marijuana leafs on your players helmets for beating Akron or something. Cum guzzler.

An overall view of college football(mainly SEC)

LSU is a great team right now. We’ll see if they can keep it moving when Miles leaves them at the end of the year. I’m predicting they’ll still probably be pretty good for a while

Alabama will be a good team. Not because ‘look at LSU players, that will be us’. Simply because it’s Alabama and it’s the hot thing right now. Honest question: Is or isn’t Saban killing in recruiting right now? Alabama will win probably 8-9 games this year(with the bowl win) and they’ll pull in several big name recruits and be one of the good teams in the SEC in a couple of years. I’m sorry, thats just how it is.

Florida will be good for years…goes without saying

Auburn, Tennessee and Arkansas are all pretty much done. I mean, Tennessee will get their recruits, but they are going to be a mediocre team and the other two are about to take a MAJOR step back.

Georgia will be a good team.

I pretty much expect everyone else to remain where they’re at…except for South Carolina who will be a good SEC team until Spurrier retires in a few years.

133 Smeg -

Your Dawgs got smacked- whether it was by 50 or 4. Richt was outcoached and your players were outplayed. Being a sore loser about it doesn’t change anything.

tOSUBuckeyes: are you the same one that is on al.com all the time? If not, I didnt mean to come off so mean spirited in my first post, lol. We used to go back and forth last year on that forum and I figured it was you cause it’s the same domain name down to the t literally.

but the big 10 still sucks, hehe.

Silence doubters? Great shakes? What’s the diff.? Jackass.

Too bad this event hasn’t received any more press. ND = Thug U.

OC- I am not bitter. I was merely at the game and have the capability to recognize what was happening. Neither one of those teams is looking at winning the SEC currently. If South Carolina O and SOS are all that then why couldn’t they score more than one TD on an average, inexperienced D that never bothered to blitz? Do you think LSU will offer SC the same courtesy? But I can understand the desperate need for validation of one’s teams. If UGA beat UF similarly, I would still be very happy regardless.

UGA beating Florida is a rarity among rarities. SC over UGA… rare, but not nearly as rare.
I wasn’t validating our O, not at all. Only putting up 28 against RCR’s Cajun’s should tell you that. We got beat at the line of scrimmage more than we wanted (but a shitload less than what we expected). Not one single UGA fan called their D average or inexperienced going into that matchup – don’t start with that shit now. No, I don’t expect either team to have a decisive lead in the East race by playing like our O did last night. Our receivers couldn’t get separation, credit your D.
You’re right – we don’t expect LSU will be as friendly to as as your team was. I’d like to win that, but covering the spread would be nice as well.

143:

nope. not thug u. miami still retains that title. thanks for playing the game though.

Hey! Speaking of thugs, how about that class act from Michigan?

Screw Blue

“UGA beating Florida is a rarity among rarities. SC over UGA… rare, but not nearly as rare.”

UGA all-time record against UF: 46-36-2

UGA all-time record against S. Car: 43-13-2

Click, cluck… bitch.

1. What’s your beef with marijuana?

#147: I saw that, and that’s when I knew Michigan was completely beaten. Not just on the scoreboard, but in their heads.

I have no idea why that guy wasn’t ejected from the game. The Bloom is off of Charlie’s rose it looks like. I mean these are his players right?

The PSU ND game was good for me from the perspective that PSU won, but my god Morelli looked like the second coming of Zach Mills. Happy feet, throwing it at the line, not looking off defenders. After the first long attempt was intercepted they didn’t go deep the rest of the way. The defense on the other hand looked sick sick sick. Only offensive points came after a punt return to the 7. On the other hand Clausen actually looked pretty poised and showed good mobility so he probably has a good future if he can keep from getting decapitated.

Best shirt I saw was JoePa vs. FUPA

How ’bout those Gamecocks!!!

Fun facts:

Michigan is 0-4 since Bo died.

Michigan is 0-2 since Dr. Jack Kevorkian (who graduated from the U of M med school) was released from prison.

The maize n’ blue should give him a sideline pass this weekend against FG Jesus.

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLloyd might need Dr. Jack’s machine.

I’m ready to vote the tOSU dude out.

I asked him the same “why the Bama hate?” questions a couple of weeks ago and he answered with some weak-ass “because every Bama Coach since Bryant has been hailed by the idiot Bama fans as the second coming of the Bear” crap.

I must have missed that somehow, the only hire (other than Saban) that has been roundly applauded in my memory was DuBose.

Curry, Stallings, Price, and Shula were seen as dubious, as everybody had somebody else in mind.

And Franchione.. well, Fuck him.

I cosign on the ‘fuck Franchione’

#149, i have no quarrel with marijuana, just stating that the ‘buckeye’ they put on the back of helmets looks sorta like a marijuana leaf when you are watching on tv. Probably how they got Clarett to come to OSU.

Nic,

I have no quarrel with the doobage either.

Be careful, I don’t think you can infer/imply that any program outside the SEC has sketchiness in their past without setting off the brother conference watchdogs on this board.

T. Thomas got kneed in the groin by the PSU player, so clearly he was a little upset. I don’t think you could ever call ND “Thug U”. And yeah, we lost, oh well. It could be worse, we could be michigan.

1. Charles – There you go- bring out the history. I was referring to recent times. Now go lick your wounds, pup.

1. - I think that was a fine acting job by the Duck player.

OoC: It’s still bullshit to be aiming for the knee in the first place. That’s dirty and you know it.
