Official SEC Football Thread 2012

Powers · 08-18-2012, 11:45 AM

Six consecutive BCS National Champions (Florida 06, LSU 07, Florida 08, Alabama 09, Auburn 10, Alabama 11)

Five teams in the AP Preseason top 10, included #2 Bama & #3 LSU, and six in the preseason top 25.

With the realign of college football conferences, the rest of the nation is trying to catch up with the dominance of the SEC; good luck. "The Zou" of Missouri and the 12th Man of Texas A&M join the likes of coeds in checkered fedoras in Bryant-Denny, Woo Pig Sooie in the Arkansas Ozarks, Mr. Two-Bits in Ben Hill Griffin, and the Cockpit in Carolina.

The history of victory, the geography of supremacy. The SEC is not merely a conference - it's a league of its own.

Fire up the grill, put the beers on ice - its time for some good ol' SEC football

I'm a Gator fan too, but without much hope for being in the mix in 2012. At least hope we beat the Semiholes.

And hoping the 2012 National Champ comes from the greatest division in college football, the SEC!

Happily mistaken, I am.

I was going to place my first smart comment in the other thread, but it really is best ended with the info
pointing it to this thread. I guess I was gonna say "No thanks, I wouldn't fit in at that new thread."

I think I will start it early.

That Roll Tide image is just plain awful. I know it's hard to combine Tide and Elephants, but that is just weird.
Although it does seem a good image for saving African Wildlife from slaughter or something. Nothing against
UA, but their artistic fans need to go back to the drawing board with that one.

OLS · 08-21-2012, 07:47 PM

I was struck to see 25 first place votes (I imagine that's what that means) for USC.
Granted the pre-season is famous for meaning nothing, and likely less than nothing.
But I think Lane Kiffen is not going to be able to field a team talented enough to
overcome his tendency to be a total loser, douchebag, Baby Huey-lookin MF.

Now, I know nothing about football, but I do know how to string a curse word together.
And to me, that's as good as it gets on predicting success or failure in Division 1 football.

Powers · 08-21-2012, 09:51 PM

I gotta agree w/ya Brad, I laughed when I saw USC in the top 5, let alone ranked #1. They might have the talent to be there, but Kiffin has literally accomplished NOTHING. He'll flop big time and I can't wait to watch it.

Similarly, I think Georgia is way overrated. Yeah there schedule is a gift from God but Richt isn't an elite coach and will never get them over the hump. They'll never win a national championship and I highly doubt an SEC one w/him at the helm, even with the advantage of a cupcake schedule.

I'm confident that South Carolina will represent the East in Atlanta and am oscillating b/w LSU or Arkansas to represent the West/win it and go on to play for a national title. The Hawgs, where I have just begun studying for my PhD, have LSU & Bama in Fayetteville.

Prediction for the National Championship game if you put a gun to my head now:

Oklahoma vs LSU

Greg, it's not my searing hatred of the Tide, it's the ridiculous pairing of elephants and red water.

OLS · 08-22-2012, 01:59 PM

Well personally, I prefer an elephant driving a submarine with Denzel Washington.

LSU, Hypnotizing fans since 1860

Gameday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OLS · 08-30-2012, 10:59 AM

I totally forgot you guys were leading off early. Might have to find a TV, since I know it won't be on a local.
Guessing ESPN, home of sports I can't watch.

hammondc · 08-30-2012, 07:47 PM

It's on ESPN. Shitty game though. Looks like Shaw may be out. If so....we need to hang it up.
