Official SEC Football Thread 2009

[OLS]

OH, Bessie, the bulldog fans have that look on their faces again, and THIS time, I really
feel for them. I am not TN fan, but I have to admit it is nice t see them not limping towards oblivion
again this week. The band girl they just showed that was past crying, more like her best friend
was just removed from a car with the jaws of life...kind of a sad shock.
CMON DAWGS, lets make the 4th quarter count.

[OLS]

Some interesting facts on this one, mostly DUH stuff, but LSU and FLA have won the
national championship twice this decade and the winner of THIS game each year has
gone on to win it all. YUM.

Not so well known...the last time Tiger stadium saw a battle of top 5 teams?
None other than LSU-Ole Miss on halloween night 1958. And anyone outside
of LSU fans that knows the name Billy Cannon will probably roll their eyes at
that one, the famous galloping ghost punt return for a touchdown. "Billy Cannon's Run"
is all it's called in LA. But it has stood the test of time, showing up every year on TV
stations throughout the state on Halloween, and popping up on quite a few big game
broadcasts in Death valley. Don't be surprised if CBS doesn't show it tonight.

Boys and girls, it ain't never gonna get any bigger than THIS ONE.


btw, If you want to see Billy Cannon's run, here it is:

Gonna be a long year for us I fear.

RTR!!! Heck of a job by our defense.

Time for a Master Blends II victory smoke

[OLS]

That Gary Danielson has some good eyes, and I guess it only happened if they call it. Tebow's roomate grabs the LSU defender's jersey and gets him all out of whack and catches the easy TD pass. Still, that's football, and the karmic wheel DOES turn. And it's nice to see LSU is not the pushover America thinks they are at #4. 10-7, not too bad. BUT, Cooper WILL pay for his ***** move , by Grabthar's hammer, we will be revenged!

If we tackle, we have a chance. Right now we are not tackling.

[macpappy]

Good first half but Florida got lucky on that touchdown. Cooper should have been flagged for offensive pass interference when he pulled the back of the cornerback's jersey. But, if the ref doesn't see it, it didn't happen...

[OLS]

What did Les Miles say to Jefferson at the half, "don't try to RUN?"
I thought running QBs didn't GET deer in the headlights feet.

Jefferson could have avoided the first sack in the second half if he would have taken off.
LSU is still in the game, but I don't know how.

[OLS]

Funny, gary Danielsen says "the fans don't like this looking at the sideline
and calling the play" and MAN, neither do I! It is so high school, and I think it demeans and distracts every team that does it. it is the worst thing to
come along in football since Deion Sanders.

[macpappy]

So far the LSU has no offense in this game. Other than a few nice runs by Scott, Florida's defense is just outplaying LSU.

[macpappy]

I hate to say it but LSU is not going to win this game. Jefferson's inexperience is really showing how costly it is in big games.

On the other hand, the LSU defense is showing some good signs of life. That was a nice interception by Eugene.

[OLS]

Florida fans are lucky that their team kicked that second field goal, because
if the margin of victory was that BS cheat touchdown, I would be pretty
embarassed about my win. Now at least they are three points better than LSU.
That is if LSU pulls their head out of their A and scores on this drive. AAAaaannd,
they Don't. Well, I guess Tebow won't throw again in the last 2 mins...darn.
ARGH, stop showing our depressed fans, we look like UGA fans, lol.

Haha, look at Urban and Tebow. "if you didn't have that facemask, I could kiss you easier."
I think he is still hurt...he didin't mention God til the end.

Looks like a fiver for FLPower. Send me your details.

[macpappy]

Congratulations Florida. LSU may have lost but I think they did good on defense to make it a close game until the last two minutes. Hopefully we'll see you again in the SEC Championship game.

[OLS]

Definitely, Macpappy, congrats Florida.
Two things that shocked me, especially with 2/3 of a QB, barely a whisper
of Dickson, I mean don't tight ends usually bail out QBs in trouble?
Secondly, I though for SURE Randle would be catching passes. They could have
taken out 80 after the first half. Talk about the dropsies.
I will take Jefferson's performance tonight over the kid we played last year..yikes.

Good luck FLA.

I went to Naw Lens just to enjoy the atmosphere, eat a po boy and muffaletta and get on bourbon street. It was a BLAST!

Unexpectedly, my buddy's Bull Gator uncle came across four tickets to the game! So for face value I was able to go to Baton Rogue! There is a God in heaven. Just like I experienced two years ago, LSU fans were great and some invited us to eat some awesome gumbo and

As for the game, Tebow was the story but Brandon Spikes (our All-Star linebacker) brought home the W more than any other player. 11 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks. Defensively we made Jefferson beat us and Offensively we were gonna run and play conservative until we had to do otherwise.

Awesome game and an amazing time in the Big Easy and Baton Rogue

[OLS]

I think the problem with seeing it live is that you don't have the advantage of Gary Danielsen,
who spotted the jersey tug while he was saying that the LSU DB had played the TD catch poorly,
and as he was saying it, he saw the foul. It has been more than a decade since I was in Tiger
Stadium, but I don't think there is a very big replay screen, so maybe fans didn't catch it either.
I was kind of disappointed that that kind of technique was even used, and more disappointed that
it went unnoticed by the official. It was subtle, but very effective, and just made the LSU DB look
like a bum. LSU's defense was certainly good enough to stop all the other big catch opportunities
by FLA, and good enough to stop all their other drives cold. And everyone knows LSU's DBs are
more than fast enough to keep up with FLA's receivers. Maybe Tebow's roomate thought that was
the only way they were ever going to score a TD. That and a couple of field goals.
Impressive win. FLA's lowest point total in years, probably. I feel like crap about the outcome,
but I have made my comments on fair play twice, so I might as well admit FLA won the game.


Bet winnings sent.


I tell ya, GGainey is alot better of a sport than ME!

[DavenportESQ]

Bama...SC!!! woot

[Poe]

Bama is favored by 17, I feel very confident in winning the game but I'm not sure we can cover due to SC's defense. Not sure if its true but I heard the other day that Saban has never beat Spurrier. If thats true then you know he is going to be very motivated going into this one.

How have SC's special teams looked this year? I think that is the key to beating us/keeping it close as we have gave up way too many big kick/punt returns.
