Southern Miss barely lost to Marshall, only by 7. That was one I had a hard time deciding on along with about 2 or 3 others. It's harder to pick when there are 12 games in one week or 15. But I like it though.

Go with your first gut feeling. That's how I'd play it (if I were in pick 'em). Oh, and always pick Bama.

Pretty much I went with Vegas odds, except in situations where my common sense knew better. Such as in as much as I think UNC is a great school, they don't do football. But on the other hand, I guess I'll have to rethink Vandy.

I need to research what's going on there. I mean, Vandy used to be like Tulane. We only went to the games to socialize.

Go Dawgs!!!
Good game yesterday Tide.
We'll see you next week 'tween the hedges.
Should be a good one!

I hate those 7:45 game times. I'm already tired before the game even begins.
Stay tuned. If I have a couple of lovely cocktails tonite I will regale you all with the story of the 1976 (or was is 1975)Alabama/Georgia game.

My husband hates this story

But then I stayed up and watched the Auburn/LSU game and then watched SNL to see if there was going to be a Palin skit (there wasn't). Yesterday morning we saw people an hour south of the Atlanta airport at 8:30 AM headed to Auburn game. We commented on how tired and inebriated they were gonna be after tailgating that many hours.

Fulmer4senate · 09-21-2008, 09:51 AM

I've been doing some thinking, instead of my sn being fulmer4senate, maybe it should be utneedsanewcoach. Granted the game yesterday wasn't AS ugly looking as last years game of 59-20. But, we still did lose and scoring only 6 points. Geezus, we looked like a bunch of pee wee football players, and they could probably do better than us.

It was pretty sad when the fans were booing.

BTW Skunky, I don't understand the meaning of the sign in your photo.

Illustrating PAC-10 snobbery. By the way, throw out USC and the PAC-10 is about on par with the WAC or Sun Belt. They like to point out the feasting SEC teams do on cupcakes but fail to understand that their conference schedule is a cupcake buffet.

Now that I look at it, it does look that way amelia. New coach and sane coach would be fine with me though.

They do need a new coach.

Thats a serious understatement for sure. Maybe we should trade Fulmer for Richt from Georgia. Lets do a even trade, Georgia can have Fulmer and we can have Richt.

Against Georgia???

I've gone with my gut feeling on certain games. BTW, why did you not get into the pick'em?

gotothebeachmom · 09-21-2008, 10:22 PM

We are ACC fans since Ga. Tech is the predominant team we root for (sorry daddy, you knew this when i married him)!

However, it's so hard to not like Richt, it's disgusting. Not his team, but the man. He's got all the right moves. On and off the field. He's got all the right moves.

Isn't there a commercial on tv with him and his wife??? It may have been on the CSS channel. I saw it the other night. They appear so down to earth.

Yeah, they were hawking merchandise from some store in Dalton. Looks like a Badcock. Maybe he's a good friend of the owner or a donor and couldn't say no?

dgsevier · 09-23-2008, 03:46 PM

Vandy's making strides. Looks like the SEC may have to find some other team to kick around. I suggest MS ST and/or KY. Go Dores!!!

Yeah, maybe Mississippi State. We had a blast seeing Georgia Tech whomp up on them.

Here's a photo from the game taken from my cell phone. The message on the white board doesn't show up in the photo, but it says, "Keep your composure." How inspiring!

But Love, #95, was so cute when he got down on his knees and prayed before the game.

He was the only one on his team doing that.

Meyer should get crucified for not attempting a 47-yard game winner. Talk about arrogant, bonehead decisions.

Well no upset for the Vols, they just can't get their act together.

Thankfully, I'm surrounded by UGA fans here is Nashville. It's going to be a fun week.

I'll be at the Vandy-Auburn game next week so maybe another upset? We can only hope, right.

I love the logic that Georgia is beaten by the new #2 and plummets out of the top 10 while USC is beaten by a NOBODY and hangs around at #9

ameliaj · 09-28-2008, 06:15 PM

OK, I'm home from Athens, had to fix a drink to get back on here and check the chat. What a debacle. Tide looks strong. They oughta be #2. Ouch. I'm having a little trouble sitting down after that major arse whooping.

Skunky, next time you smell upset in the air, I'll sure believe it.
Go get 'em Tide. I'm a believer. Maybe we'll regroup see you in the SEC championship game for a rematch.

Weird how that works isn't it Skunky? This year of college football is awesome so far though, lots and lots of upsets. That always makes for a good year of college football. Feeling any upsets this week Skunky?

STL Don · 09-29-2008, 08:11 AM

I know this is supposed to be all about the SEC, but did anybody notice that the Big 12 has 4 of the top 7 teams in the lastest rankings?

As the title of the thread implies, this is about the NCAA, not the SEC. I did notice it. We will see if Oklahoma can maintain and whether Missouri can beat Oklahoma.

Fulmer4senate · 09-29-2008, 08:43 AM

I think that we all have to agree that there are alot of good teams in NCAA football this year. Whether its SEC, Big 12, or any other division. I think the collegiate level of football is alot better to watch most of the time than NFL. And its more entertaining too.
