#63 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.

Mr Pelican Pants says:

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.

statprof says:

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.

September 9th, 2007 at 8:45 am

statprof says:

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.

Stephen says:

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.

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.

LSUJoshua says:

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.

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

One And Done says:

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?

peachy says:

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?”

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.

osu buckeyes says:

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.

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.

PW says:

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.

Nic says:

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.

Meg says:

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.

September 9th, 2007 at 6:01 pm
145

Out of Conference says:

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.
