OPEN THREAD, SECOND SHIFT: FLORIDA STATE IS EVIL, SOGGY
If you don’t flip out and run through the nearest wall after that amazing inspirational speech, join us for the second thread to watch Florida at Florida State. One school stands for all that crushes your soul in the night. The other is Florida State, and sucks. Join the dark side, young Jedi, and extend your arms in pincer motion in front of you and open and close them in a rhythmic fashion.

Jack- In the case of JoePa, “retires” is the correct euphemism for dies.
Bizzaro Maryland needs to throw for a touchdown to tie-up BC. In typical bizarro fashion, they threw the TD to a BC player.

Hey, if ya think Florida will breeze thru the SEC Champ game, put ya money where your mouth is.
Bet 10,000.00 on Florida and the points and STFU.
Urban=Innovative Speed Offense 24/7
Saban= Brutal physical defense 24/7
Should be decided on turnovers, just as the Ole Miss game was, except we are better at skil positions and more physical than Ole Miss…If Bama wins, its by 7 pts or less, and if Florida wins, its by 14 pts or less.
I saw how Florida did against a physical running team like Michigan, and it opened up simple post routes all day long. If Michigan doesnt keep fumbling inside the 10, they would have hung 50 on Tebow and friends…
Im interested to see if Harvin being hurt affects the Vegas line any…..And the good news is, not only can we run left, we can run up the middle and to the right also…..plus we play better in the state of Georgia for some reason…….
It was nice to exorcise some old demons this year….Saban calls off the dogs when we should have been like Urban and Stoops and going for 70.

Mr. P-Pants,
If you get to bring up games from last season, do we? Like how we just manhandled the FSU team that handled you in Jacksonville, or how you lost to LaMo?
How about we stick to this season?
I seem to recall a few games this season where Florida played defense a bit more than you may wish to give credit. I am more than aware that Georgia didn’t put up 30, much less in one half against them.
And yes the inevitable counterargument is that Bama hasn’t lost. Give it time. Percy Harvin or not, you’ve got a 20 point ass kickin’ on the way.
Put your money on Florida to cover. That way, when they have the SEC title, you’ll at least have beer money.

Tusk @89:
C’mon, isn’t half the fun of talking smack doing it while the outcome is still at issue? Wouldn’t it kind of defeat the purpose to wait until after the game is decided, seeing as one team has presumably lost by then and their fans won’t have much in the way of smack to talk by then?
I know you Bammers haven’t had much in the way to play for or any national game of consequence in the past 7-8 years, but y’all need to relax just a bit. Auburn’s beaten, disemboweled and burnt corpse isn’t even cold yet, for fuck’s sake.

Socraticsilence says:
So WVU and Pat White dropped half a hundred or so on OU, Colt Mcoy drops 45, OSU and there mini-Tebow drop nearly 50- how many would Florida score on OU if Harvin’s healthy and (as is rumored) CI returns for a title game?
Seriously does Florida drop 70 on this “defense”?

@ 94, you mean you’d give florida 30 points in the spread? cause the only frauds i see are in the big 12. what a complete fucking joke those teams are. BAMA is going to beat florida, and then completely fucking obliterate the big 12 team they play in Miami, it’s a shame florida probably wont get a crack at another big 12 team, because that would also be a bloodbath.

@ west coast douchebag. Florida may outrun Alabama saturday. It may be bad. Or, Alabama may win. Whatever the outcome of that game is, Utah is slower, smaller, and weaker than Alabama. Nick Saban is a better coach than whoever the hell coaches Utah. This is not a recipe for victory.

PW says:
I’m as big of an SEC homer as they come, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see Utah pull off an upset against the SECCG loser. Utah will be crazy motivated to prove that, unlike Hawaii last year, they’re worthy of such a high ranking and the SECCG loser will be suffering from a huge case of letdown.
Also, who have Bama and Florida beaten?
