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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Erik says:
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.

Beatuofa says:
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.

Erik says:
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.

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.
September 8th, 2007 at 8:48 pm

Rival says:
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.

roaminggator says:
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.

Erik says:
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.

Tim says:
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…

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.

osu buckeyes says:
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.
