Then won't the Bulldogs be pregnant?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

What we hear locally, and I am sure this is old news to you guys, but its that Nicky holds back his
horses when he is playing a friend and cuts it all loose when he is playing an enemy or just anyone.
Former coaching partners, mentors, pals, butt-buddies, they all get the easy treatment. Not sure if
that is true, but a lot of what I hear in Memphis is a load of hooey anyway.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I believe it...Held back from tearing FIU a new one supposedly bc Nick coached with Bo Pelini at LSU. FIUs HC is Pelinis brother.

So your telling me Nick Saban has the capacity for human emotion? ;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

For those certain of us who were accused of sour grapes last year for calling Mathieu a punk, I'll go ahead and humbly accept the apology for the rest of us.

Carry on.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

One word - idiot

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Rizzle, I am not sure you are due an apology yet, I mean he is nothing but a "student" at that university. :)
Have you apologized to me over the Tea-bagging incident at Krystal on Bourbon? :r

Couple that with the fact that his idiot friend came down all the way from Canada to hang out and buss up,
it's more Canada's fault than anything else. And of course, Punk and stupid are not the same thing always.

And if you check the transcripts, I never said he wasn't a PUNK, I said he was OUR punk.
ANYONE who does illegal things while also making a disturbance is an idiot, no matter where they go
to school. When you are getting high in your apartment, you do not turn up the tunes to 11 and you
damn sure don't try to break in through a security gate. These morons have a false sense of 'above-it-all-ness"
and people like that will always fall hard and find that they have very few ACTUAL friends or supporters
when the music stops.

I always liked Jordan Jefferson because he was from the same parish I grew up in even though he played
for the cross-the-river rival. But as a football player for LSU, I was rather embarrassed by him, at least
around here. It is VERY hard to go through a game with that feeling of impending disaster constantly
eating away your stomach lining.

---------
But in the end, YES, I DO apologize, at least for the implied feeling of superiority I get from NOT being a bama fan. :D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Good, cause the other one that called him a punk is dead to me. And also,
you were redeemed from that opinion on the night of the BCS CG if I recall.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Quick long story....

I was filming a documentary in Mississippi at a bluegrass festival. There was NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED.
But of course I was a college kid, and while filming a few segments before the festival, the mayor assured
me that if I kept the ice chest in my tent and filled soft drink cups from MickeyDs with the beer, no one
would ever care or find out.

Flash forward a few days to the festival, We have an ice chest full of beer in the tent,
our beers in cups, etc. But of course, I had to Honey Badger it all up. I took the speakers
out of my car and put them on the roof and cranked up my tunes, because I wanted to attract
chicks to my beer collection and have sex with them in my tent. But of course, the cops came through
the campground, and drawn in by my awesome tuneage like a moth to a beer, proceeded to bust up our
little three-man party, take our beer away and give it to the firehouse. My weak protestations of "but
the mayor told us we would be FINE" were ignored by the police and my grand, alcoholic plan was dashed,
despite me having enough actual common sense to know better than what it seemed from the outside that I did.

DO NOT PARTY ILLEGALLY while at the same time drawing attention to yourself.

Thank you.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Accepted.

But I didn't know that was you I had my junk on at Krystal. My bad. I apologize. :tu

I'm still mad at my Gamecocks. Just do not care about the game today. Bad fan, I know. I think I'll cut the grass and do some projects around the house.

Good luck to everyone today. Bama is on upset watch.

Why does the St. Johns River flow north? Cause Georgia sucks!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I tuned in to the SEC game of the week this morning, and was a little surprised to see their ONLY item on
the "news from around the SEC" this week was the arrest of Mathieu and Jefferson. WTF?
Neither one of them has been on the LSU squad for 7-8 months, and one for almost a year.
How does this pertain to LSU? The SEC? I know that people have an interest in seeing this train wreck,
But I found it a real stretch to call it news from around the league. How does it affect the league in any way?
What does it have to do with any games being played in the league today? I guess I should not be surprised
by anything RAYCOM does. Or is it Jefferson Pilot? Or is it Lincoln Financial? Having worked for Raycom for
7 years, I am hardly surprised. They sucked then and suck now. RinKy Dink. Messed with my 401k 3 times/
They kept bumping my contribution up to 15% everytime I would reset it to ZERO. I finally had to complain
to the Montgomery home office, and even then they did it a fourth time. Should have reported them to the FTC
or SEC or whomever. F Raycom and everything they do.

What was I talking about again?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Brutal start for the Gators.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Surprised To See This. Still A Long Game Left.:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Go Dawgs. Both of them. UGA and MSU

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Looks like the Gators are giving the Dawgs the same breaks that the Gamecocks gave the Gators last week. This whole SEC East championship is FUBAR right now.


I guess the swamp IS where "Dreams go to die"

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

If you had left that middle sentence out they might not have lost.:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Roll Tide!!!

"LESS COWBELL!!!"

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

WOW, I am so sorry for my Gamecock brethren, and I know that sounds kinda messed up while HE ends up on TV
looking worse than Theisman. But I do not know him, and I know a lot of you. You have my condolences.
As for the young man himself, I am heartbroken. You play your whole life, looking for that big payday in the NFL.
You get badly hurt and yet you come back again, not wanting to waste a lifetime of effort towards that goal.
And this is the reward for that young man. Just heartbreaking. I doubt seriously he is going to have the heart to
say, I HAVE to rehab and get myself ready for the NFL. And who knows if he has the collegiate training to actually
BE anything in life, from the college/career perspective. I know that in these situations, someone somewhere should
end up basically giving him a paying career for what he tried to do for USC, but its just so sad. My thoughts go out
to him and his family. Poor kid's leg looked like a sock full of marbles.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Lattimore's injury was definitely heartbreaking, I hope it wasn't as serious as it looked, though I don't see how it couldn't be. He's in my prayers for sure.

Florida's meltdown was sad as well, although not in the same caliber. I hate to see a game decided by so many penalties. Florida beat themselves no question, but gotta give Georgia credit for capitalizing. Even though they were rough around the edges as well.

Auburn's loss was predictable, but the degree of the loss was just embarrassing. I'm a lifelong Alabama fan, I don't think I've ever had sympathy for the Tigers, but this season is pitiful, really pitiful.

Alabama beat Mississippi State, by a lot. I think the second string would have beaten them had they been in all game. All the talk about Mississippi State has been nice, in a "root for the underdog" sort of way. But honestly they were 7-0 #11 because of a very lucky schedule, against some teams who are traditionally good, but are terrible this season. Alabama was the real test to see if they were good, or just better than the worst teams in the SEC (Seriously, they've played the bottom 3 teams.). After today I can honestly say I think A&M are going to beat them, then LSU, then probably Ole Miss, Arkansas maybe not.

Next week Alabama gets their real test. I really can't wait to watch an Alabama game without my wife falling asleep at half time. Hopefully it will be a good game.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Lattimore is out indefinitely. Tore even ligament in his knee, broke the femur and chipped his kneecap.

As for the Florida meltdown, I feel like they played they same way SC played last week. They beat themselves. FL had 29yards of offense at halftime last week and were up 21 points. That speaks volumes. The SC defense was holding them down again in 2nd half until they simply gave up because of the offense being so horrible. After a while, I suppose they just through up their hands and said "why bother?". I still do not know what to make of Florida. The SEC East is a mess right now. Really does not matter a whole lot because I do not think either SC, FL or GA could beat Bama right now.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I didn't get to watch any football last week, so I can't say much about last weeks SC game. This week I was sad to see Tennessee lose, I know they lose a lot but they fight so hard and they've lost so many SEC games the last few years I'd just like to see them pull off one big win. As long as it isn't against Alabama.

Going into this Saturday I honestly thought Florida and Bama should be switched, seeing as how Bama hadn't beaten anybody yet. After this week I'm happy to say I feel my team is deserving of the #1 spot. Next week could be a different story.

no kidding. I know he has not used his red shirt yet, so maybe he can get 2 more years and prep for the 2015 draft.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

That Florida-Georgia game was a bitter pill to swallow let me tell ya. I did not recognize the Gator team that showed up! Textbook rivalry game though - throw records and previous tendencies out the window. Murray and Driskel were trying to out Sanchez each other all day with the turnovers. I agree with you, Chip that the beginning was similar to the Florida-USC game but w/the Gators on the short side of the stick.

Looking on the bright side, if ya'll would have told me in August that Florida would be 7-1 and ranked in the Top 10 I would have been pleasantly surprised. Hey, with Georgia's capacity for utter failures they could get another SEC loss and Florida wins the East anyhow :D

But then all the hunters in FL won't have a good place to hunt...

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I like what you said there Michael, its the same I tell the MSU people here. They had that tired old
"WE BELIEVE" kind of campaign crap running, and right up until about halftime against bama, I guess
they still believed. It is SO EASY to throw out so much in order to make ourselves properly upset about
that kind of loss. Forget that they are 8-1 for the first time since dinosaurs walked the earth.

Like an LSU fan that wants Les Miles' head because they were embarrassed in the BCSCG by bama.
HELLO!?!? You are 13-1....THAT'S what stands the test of time. Sure, it is painful to be embarrassed anywhere,
but that part will fade way faster than 13-1. We had more wins than BAMA, and yet we were not the
BCS champ, lol. What about that? I used to rag Michael until I respected him, "Where is the 'reload" you
used to talk about, pal?" "UF is getting trounced, I thought you just replaced the NFL guys with some
more awesome players." I guess that was all BS. Now the entire SEC is 7-1. Or the entire SEC that matters, lol.
And if anything it makes the BCS and the SEC even more interesting and fun. Its all good...support your team
and be glad it's still fall.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

:r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Crap, I capitalized bama. dammit, my streak is broken.
And I said MSU was 7-1....sorry, they are 8-1. Bowl eligible, lol.
Or as my old man used to say everytime the Saints crossed an
opponents 35...."THEY'RE IN FIELD GOAL RANGE." Seems like common
sense, but what he meant was there was no way they were going to
score a TD, so let's start thinking about the inevitable as soon as its
possible.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Not a Bama or LSU fan - However, I'm going with the opening spread of 10.5. From what I've seen from both teams this year, Bama should have no problem making the spread.

Next.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Nick Saban is going to have a hard time winning a football game if he's on Survivor....

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Anyone up for a Bama/LSU game bet? I'll put up a fiver from my coolers (will give a choice of several to chose from). My bet is Bama wins. No point spread. Simple win-lose bet. Bama loses, I'll send you a fiver. Bama wins, you send a fiver to one of the troop coordinators.

I will accept up to 10 takers. I'll either lose up to 50 sticks and shipping costs, or the troops will gain 50 sticks. Only rule I'll impose, "You have to have at least two positive trade feedbacks.

Members betting LSU will beat Bama:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
.....

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I don't think LSU will win, but I will send a 5'er to the Troops if they lose. It's win-win for me, Cliff. :)

P.S....If LSU does win, I'll thake the BHK 52 fiver. :r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Thanks Tom.

Times running short. I guess nobody else has the courage of their convictions.

Now is the time to "put up, or shut up", as the saying goes!!!!

I'm betting a 20 count sent to the troops by myself that the "talkers" of this thread stay quiet, and fail to "put up", and that I don't get more takers on the bet than the 5 places I have listed.

Tom, since you are a true sportsman, pm me your addy. I'm sending you a fiver regardless. And when you lose the bet, let me know how many you are sending for the troops, and I will match the number.

Still no other takers?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

Man you'd think at least a few haters would take you up on the offer. It's a night game at death valley, LSU can't lose :rolleyes:.

I really hope Bama pulls this off, I'm tired of hearing "LSU hasn't lost a night game, at death valley, on a full moon, blah blah blah."

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I'm hoping for a great game...won by Bama of course. I'd love to go to Miami when/if they make the NC...

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

After watching A&M beat Mississipi State almost as badly as Bama, I'm honestly as worried about that game as the LSU game today. Getting through both A&M and LSU is going to be tough.

Western Carolina seems like a foregone conclusion, but after getting banged up by LSU and A&M who knows.

The Iron Bowl is never a gimme, even if Auburn is worse than I've ever seen them.

Getting to the NC is far from certain, I wouldn't even call it probable at this point.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2012
 

I think 'Bama will win it tonight.

But more importantly, HOTTY TODDY!! :tu
