Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I agree with all of this. That Wilds kid show some promise. Lattimore has been a bit ineffective of late since the D just stacks the box. It will be interesting to see what happens now. We need to get an air game going.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I believe this week off will help heal some injuries as well and hopefully the offensive line can get their **** together and give Shaw some time in the pocket.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Everything is going to be alright. There's only 5 games left...

Another example of MY Tigers taking down the world. My old Organic college professor is the guy who released the genie:

Professor John W. Huffman who first synthesised many of the cannabinoids used in synthetic cannabis is quoted as saying, "People who use it are idiots. You don't know what it's going to do to you."

I was taking Auburn at +22.5 even before this happened.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Good luck to all the teams today. My boys have the week off. They sure as hell need it.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Haha, TAKE IT TO EM, Derek Dooley, wahoo!. After today's performance, GRANTED, IN TIGER STADIUM, I have no
fear of this Crimson Tide you speak of. GEAUX TIGERS!! Be it known, this feeling has nothing to do with 6-6 at
Bryant Denney at halftime. I had this feeling after the FIRST smashing of a Auburn kick returner, the first of about
4 in a row. Great game Tigers, beat Bama.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Haha, if there is one thing I know how to do, it's speak too soon. I came in at 3:00 to go in the first half and
saw 6-6 in Tuscaloosa. I didn't realize Tennessee was struggling just like they did in Knoxville last week.
And if anyone knows halftime adjustments, it's Nick Saban.

My prediction for Nov 5th stands however. Tigers win. ;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

You know that does not matter. Nor does team or school policy have any effect on what Les will do to win. He had the same "win regardless of the cost or rules at Arkansas, he has now demonstrated the same mentality at LSU. If Les is going to look the other way on drugs, as well as criminal charges, who knows what he will be willing to overlook? That is the same lack-of-enforcement and lack-of concern for discipline that Mike Dubose and Mike Shula had at Bama. And look at the mess it spawned for Alabama! Just sayin'! Bama has been there before with the look-the-outher-way syndrome of the coaches. I've seen it! It never ends pretty!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

:rolleyes:



Arkansas??

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Eh...Arkansas, Oklahoma State, it's all the same. :D

Oh, and... it's on. -(P

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Florida didn't lose this weekend, wooo!

Bring on Georgia -(P

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Yep... it is Florida/Georgia week. I dislike the Dogs all year long. This one week I year that turns into a deep hatred. Bring it!!!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

It really IS ALL THE SAME, Riz. That's what's got me wondering what crawled up the Kid's boutay on a Monday.
:r

But don't be deluded, Kid, it's all the same. Saban is way better than Dubose or Shula, but one way or the other,
something is gonna slip, because he is operating much the same as mr. Les Miles over there in Tuscaloosa. He just
keeps his players in fear, and Miles is more of a player's coach. You can't keep the lid on that tight without a blow,
though. One day it's gonna come. It's the SAME argument I was throwing at Urban Meyer for years around here.
And the FL faithful weren't havin' it. I was calling his players dirty thugs, and I meant it. Yes, I agree that LSU
has had some trouble this year and it is at the coaches discretion if or how long to punish players. So he gets his
players back on board before the Bama game. Can you blame him? Do you think that Jordan Jefferson is feeling like
he is back now and everything is forgiven? Hell no, he barely plays, and then only to tune him up lest Lee go down
in T-town. He is hardly the starting QB again. And all he did was beat the 5hit out of someone at a bar he shouldn't
have been at. It's not like he was on dust or something while he did it.

:r:r

Lighten up and prepare for the whuppin. ;)

It is INDEED on. Gonna be a tough weekend, though. What to do, what to do.
------------
One thing I can say, this is likely to break all viewership records on CBS next weekend.
Can you IMAGINE the kind of football we are going to witness??? It's scary to even THINK
about how priviledged we are to be able to see something like this.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Brantley is probable for the UGA game. Hopefully that will give UF the edge over Georgia. Florida ain't so hot but if we can beat UGA and FSU, we'll be 3-0 against our rivals :tu

I'm a glass half full kinda guy :D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Grrrrrrrr! :) Bah humbug!!! I don't know how to lighten up :r

But, I do think Les is setting pretty much the same bad bad example for his players as DuBose and Shula did for Bama, and that such a lenient punishment policy will bite him in the butt sooner, rather than later. And, I agree that it is a problem that exist over a large part of the sport, unfortunately. I also think the NCAA is a complete loss as a policing agency! For example, I think they hurried up their investigation of Cam Newton at Auburn, because they do not want another "Reggie Bush/Heisman" boondoggle!

Hell, I think a lot of things! I agree 100% with you that Saban is much better than our last 2-3-4? coaches!!!! But that would not be difficult, since we have had some real losers in the recent past when it came to the management side and the enforcement side!

My post before was from a small apartment in Mississippi, with nothing much to do, so I had to lash out at someone, and since LSU is next up...... Heck, it's SEC football, so they are definitely in the sights!!:D But don't worry, Auburn will soon be in the sights!!:su

However, I'm now at home for a couple of days, and have already taken out my aggressions on a couple of squirrels (for breakfast tomorrow), and a crow (stupid birds are stripping my pecan trees, and waking me up early in the mornings while doing it!!). So, I'm calmed down tonight, and don't need any meds........ Yet. Let's see what my Cardinals do, then it may be a different story!!

Sorry, I had to strip the emoticons out of your post so mine would not overload the system!!! But I do get that you were being non-confrontational. As I was being, but failed to put any smiles in! ;s

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Sadly I will be pulling for UF this weekend. :D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

It's will be an honor to have you as a fan:noon

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Its just so we have a buffer on UGA. That was if we throw up a goose egg on Arkansas we can still beat UF to win the east.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I could tell it was a lashout, Sville, no problems, especially on the subject at hand.

In simple terms, Saban is easily the coach least likely to succeed at getting his program in trouble.
But the NCAA is a cesspool, especially at the top, and we just happen to pull for the top two teams.
As a certified HOMER, I see LSU through rose-colored glasses, much as you do the Tide. I didn't even
know they had gotten in trouble at the start of the year for over signing players. I had to read about
that one yesterday as I tried ti find out how Miles and Arkansas went together, haha. Over-signing is
not fair to the kids.

And what is it with these squirrels today?? I can't remember them eating green pecans when I was a kid? NEVER.
Now unless I brutally enforce a no fly zone in my back yard with my new Beaman break-barrel pellet gun with scope,
89 bucks at wahlmart, I end up with no nuts for the 7th year in a row. Not to mention a patio COVERED in broken up
green pecans. As it is the damage they do while I am at work alone means that I'll be lucky to have a dozen ripe pecans
this year. But I have been MERCILESS!! I quit skinning them and took to putting them in a ziplock bag in the
freezer and tossing them on trash day. Smoked a few, though, not bad.
This new pellet gun is brutally accurate, hehe. But I have two trees basically stripped again.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Thank goodness for the cocktail party, or I'd have nothing to do all weekend.
I am gonna have to go UGA, cause while I am a sometimes Bama fan, I am a NO-
times Florida fan. I know my brothers in and out of FL have florgiven me for that
already, so it's OK. Just need something to watch. Or it's back to Nashville to drink
with Bill. BUT I DO wish FL the best on the re-building.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

The squirrels have usually waited until the day before I look for the pecans to fall, and then they devastate my crop overnight. This year, the crows are assisting them by stripping the green pecans, tearing thru the husks, and eating the meat before it's even ready. I'm going to hang the next crow I kill in one of my pecan trees! That should give them something to think about!!!!

This year will be the fifth in a row I've failed to get any before the animals! I have 6 acres full of other trees, and the ground is littered with acorns and hickory nuts this year. Apparently they would rather run across my yard in the open and eat pecans!!! And my dog just lays there and watches the show. Grrrrrrrrrrr!!

Roll Tide Roll. BTW, I'd love to see Boise State play either of us!! That would be a killin' worth seeing!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

My uncle used to epoxy ripe nuts to the picnic table and that would keep them so occupied that they
had little time to play in the trees. I have a couple of dogs that keep them in the trees, so if they drop a nut,
they just grab another. And they drop em all the time.

Football.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

We're coming to get you.....:su

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Are you speaking as a squirrel or a Bama fan? (see posts 223+225)

As to the Big Game, I need to warn you Bama fans, Say what you want around your friends, but lay your MONEY
down on the Tigers. This is as close to a push as I have ever seen, but the Tigers are going to come out on top.

I have been a Tiger fan since I was a kid, and never in their history have people taken them seriously enough,
and until they are hit in the face with a big purple rubber dildo, they just won't accept the truth. This is true
about a lot of teams, but keep the faces of Oregon and WVU fans in mind as you place your bets. I think all of
Bama's opponents fans realized they had no chance, but not so with the Tigers. They show up in their white-out
or gold-out gear, shake their pom-poms and bounce to the techno stadium groover songs. But until they get
smacked in the mouth a couple of times, over and over again, they just don't GET the Tigers. NO, my friend,
we are coming for YOU.......;)

Don't miss this chance to make some money off your bookie.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Talk about a toss up - I'm taking Florida as the dog. Hate UGA and the Gators. It's like choosing between poison ivy and chiggers.

Then there's the Cocks and the Vols. Like picking a lady to dance at the old folks home...

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I at least have a bit of fun with USC-UT today. I like the cocktail party, too, This is rough when your team is idle.
Hard to say if one or both teams will be affected by it next week. I NEED ENTERTAINMENT THIS WEEKEND! I am
not even smoking meat this weekend cause I am SO FAT! I am trying to take every indulgence off the table and
work through this. Man I miss my cigarettes!!!

I am gonna go with Chiggers this weekend, believe it or not. Not just Lattimore being out, but D. Dooley is desparate.
(Bet LSU while you can.) ;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

SC 24 TN 10

Lattimore is out, but they do have some depth left on the running game with Brandon Wilds. Plus, without Lattimore, TN will not be stacking the box so hard. Hopefully, we'll see some more of the air game.

Another spot to watch closely is SC's Clowney vs TN's Worley. Clowney went to South Pointe High and Worley went to Northwester (my AlmaMater). They are cross town rivals and had a HUGE game last year to determine who goes to state. Northwester won. Clowney will be looking for some revenge. I am seeing a big game for him today.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I hope I get to see it tonight on CBS...if not I guess I miss it....lemme check the schedules of both teams...
Damn...it's on the douche.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Am I the only one that HATES this 'new' style of celebration that everyone seems to have to do now where they
risk broken ankles everytime they go up??
It's not going away, people jump up and bump in mid-air. You'd think the coaches would put a stop to it, it's very
dangerous. Land wrong, land on the other guy's foot or calf or ankle....It's the equivalent of playing off-
season touch football....oops, I broke my tibia, sorry coach.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Well, we knew Richt was awful. It now appears that Muschamp was woefully unprepared for a job of this magnitude. That was just an abomination of a game.

And yes, Brad, Bama is gonna whip that ass for your beloved Tigers. Book it.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I am not so sure he is over-matched, I think there has been so little continuity and a lack of a decent break,
he is just stuck in a bad cycle right now. I think he is gonna get it together. Of course, not in 2011, lol. He is in
EXACTLY the same sitcho as Derek Dooley, I think.

Bama loses....

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Gators gave that one away.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Clemson looked horrid last night against Ga Tech :td :td

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I was shocked to see Brantley in the game, I thought that was gonna be the nail in UGA's coffin.
I am guessing that's why he HAD TO play, to make sure you didn't lose the cocktail party game.
But it didn't work out that way. Personally I would have stayed with the backup guy that
had two or three games under his belt. But ehhh, it happened.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I think it is more of a case of playing a team that has a defense.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I was pulling hard for them. GA looks a lot better than 5 weeks ago..

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

That's the damn truth!

Oh, Yeah! :su

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Not a good week for either of my teams :sh

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Bama +4.5 this morning. Interesting to see if it moves by the end of the week.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

You still drunk from drowning your sorrows? Or did it swing that much?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

;s, BUT THIS IS THE TRUTH!!!:D:sl

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

The sheet I'm looking at says +4.5 from Vegas and +4.52 from the supercomputer used to figure out small country GNPs.

And for your info, Ritchie, I did "fall asleep" on the floor with the Beagle Sat night. For the life of me I couldn't figure out going to bed. The wife reminded me on the way to church.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

The most satisfying thing will be the line of people forming outside my imaginary in-thread office to humbly say,
"Damn,you were right...A.) bama just wasn't tough ENOUGH, and B.) I SHOULD have put money on LSU." ;)

We'll Know The Truth Soon Enough, Brother; I Wouldn't Bet The Mortgage On LSU If I Were You; Just Sayin'. ;) :D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Beagles need loving too, bro. ;)

Opening line was Bama -6, now -5. So if any of you want to give me Bama +4 1/2 or 5, the line forms here. -(P

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Sad that the whuppin has to take place in Tuscaloosa. That is going to be SO difficult to take. But at least they'll
all look good with their blank stares in their houndstooth check attire. ;) But GOD do you guys have the finest women
in the South. This has been a tough ten days or less. It's gonna be a tougher 4-5 days to go.



Bama loses.........:r
