OR NOT! In the Alphabetical this week are extremely inaccurate predictions about how the voters would handle Alabama’s bye week, a tribute to the JV Steve Smith who made ‘Q’ easy this week, a spam quesadilla, Mike Leach’s tribute to Sharon Stone… “it was sorta like Sharon Stone said after a movie she made…no guts no glory”… …and your reminder that a scrimmaging Georgia Tech team nearly got taken to overtime by Gardner-Webb, a school so small it needs a hyphen just to get by in this harsh world. Since we can’t find their fight song, “Academy Fight Song” by Mission of Burma will have to do. If there’s one thing to remember here, it’s this: I’m not judging you, I’m judging me. Fuck yeah! Some fans had issues with the additional seating added to the Cotton Bowl for the Red River Gunplay Involving Massive Blood Loss, Genocide, and Other Nasty Side Effects From Being Perforated By Flying Metal–namely, their asses were self-admittedly too fat to fit in the seats. The Texarkana resident admitted that Fair Park’s revamped Cotton Bowl was “pretty,” but said the 16,000 additional seats not only made it difficult to see, but also to breathe. “It’s too tight to sit down,” she said. “Come on, this is America. We aren’t little people. We are fat.” I’m not judging you, I’m judging me. The role of linemen tonight shall be played by a freshman. Tony Barnhart thinks Georgia’s eating its own ambitions with penalties, Blutarsky thinks this is crap, and we’re inclined to agree since a lot of really good teams rack up huge penalty yards on the way to obliterating lesser teams. (Or while your dapper linebacker demonstrates his punting skills after returning an interception for a touchdown.) Georgia has larger issues, however: they’re down to their fourth-string left tackle, and as awesome has Stacey Searels has been at plugging and playing with different offensive linemen, this has to add up sometime to a net loss in performance. Ten unbeatens left. Yes, yes: This will all turn out well. Consider that the same article suggests that a Josh Freeman performance was “Heisman-worthy,” and then reapply salt of skepticism. Auburn needs to pick a qb, and…um…whaaa? That’s how you write a headline, folks. |

Q can always be for Quan. You can replay that hit another 10,000 times and it won’t get old.

Based on that Auburn headline……
Well, on CMT last night, they had the “Deliverance” marathon, and I hadnt seen it in awhile, and it still freaks me out….Now I know how Herbstreit must feel going in to West Virginia, if he ever gets lost…I would love for Gameday to go back to Morgantown and someone throw up a sign that says “Kirk has a purdy mouth-where YOU goin city boy?” Great game Florida Gators, God really loves you by blessing you with a punting linebacker–he can punt all he wants after he scores, we need to make it a rule, that technique was awesome…..

Based on that… Auburn goes to the SECCG, beats UGA for the 2nd time, plays for the MNC in Miami and beats…….BYU!!!
if LSU won last year it could happen

It’s too bad ole Gil wasn’t a better salesman. The UGA AA, might have bought that box of knee braces he was peddling, and well, you know…

NewAZTiger says:
Unlike Les Miles, who plays a quarterback every snap, Tuberville is toying with the idea of a QB-less offense.
Can’t say that I blame him. It would be hard to get worse on offense.

Mark it down, Penn St v the spoiled children in the BCmess championship. Both teams play in very weak conferences and will not likely lose. BIG12 and SEC will continue to knock each other off.

Ride him? That’s some serious prison lingo! Guess it should have read “Arkansas Tosses Auburn’s Salad” Or perhaps to communicate more effectively with the Barners “Auburn Should Pick A QB and Ride ‘Em Like a John Deere Tractor”

Noel Devine's Gold Teef says:
Wow, WVU’s offense sucks. The WVU-Auburn game next week might look like the Auburn-MissyState score line — 6 to 3 (no particular order) and 150 yrds combined total offense.
To make matters worse, I hear our star run-pass QB recruit (see next Tyrell Pryor) just de-committed. Hello two yards and a cloud of dust! Back to the Nelon years!
Thank you Bill Stewart (and the fools in the administration that hired you) for running the program in the ground. Back to mediocrity.

My beloved Auburn confuses me with all the rules…..
We can’t boo the Quarterback but we can Ride Him?

Anyone remember Stipe badly covering ‘Academy Fight Song’ during the Green tour? That and ‘Future 40s’ are all I can recall of that show.

Rich,
I have a bootleg of the Green tour with that cover. About as good as the “King of the Road” cover.
I saw Burma a month or two ago in NYC. I’m pretty sure Roger Miller is God, or at least competes with Kevin Shields for the job.

@ #6 – +1 on the Simpsons reference.
@ LSU – Minus 4000 for shitting the bed.

LSU’s ballyhooed defensive line was gashed for 265 yards rushing. Holy shit, that’s bad, but…
LSU’s ballyhooed defensive line was gashed for 265 yards rushing…. to Florida, with very little by Tebow…. Whaa?

OhioDawg says:
How long ’til we get rid of instant replay. If E is for egregious officiating, the W should be for wasted time reviewing calls.
What was the point of instant replay: to get them right. What have we still not done: got them right. On the other hand, Cthulhu is happy because more time is spent talking about officials and camera angles and less time talking about the game itself.

Love that picture of Spikes…particularly the background where the pilot is about to fall out of the plane while trying to get a picture of that pink suit.
