Getting back to the music for a moment, a little "did you know?"


ESPN Bottom 10
The Bottom 10 inspirational thought of the week:


"Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of death surrounds you."
-- "That Smell," Lynyrd Skynyrd

Leonard Skinner was the kind of coach who would probably turn around the fortunes of some Bottom 10 teams.

The flat-topped and no-nonsense basketball coach and P.E. teacher from Jacksonville, Fla., was a strict disciplinarian and Army veteran.

At Robert E. Lee High School in the late 1960s, Skinner often sent male students to the principal's office because their hair was too long. One of those students was Gary Rossington, a guitarist in a rock band. Rossington's band was eventually named Lynyrd Skynyrd as a tribute to his former P.E. teacher.

Skinner passed away at the age of 77 in Jacksonville on Monday. He and his former students eventually patched things up, and Skinner even introduced Lynyrd Skynyrd at a concert in their hometown.

And tOSU does not get a shutout, not against a MAC team. :p


EDIT - maybe they will. I didn't realize EMU was 0-3 and in the bottom 10 :\ Though, so is Marshall, and Ohio University is on the waiting list to get in. FBS teams, but scraping the bottom, aren't we? Care to comment again on other (SEC) teams/conferences playing FCS teams? FCS teams that may hold their own with bottom-bottom-bottom level FBS squads?

this is the week they might get a shutout, EMU is not a very good football team. as good as Jim Tressel's defenses usually are (and as much as I am a HUGE fan of this current defense), I largely agree. OSU plays their backups all the time, even when they are only two touchdowns ahead. that's Tresselball for ya...

the SEC has some great matchups. I have been a pretty big fan of Ryan Mallet, although he seems kinda douchey the guy is big and built for NFL ball.

Alabama still looks like the best football team in the nation, but it wouldn't be so surprising to see them upset by Arkansas. hell, it could be a possibility that Arkansas could win the SEC upright. possibility.

and I was never a believer in the Gamecocks, as evidenced in a couple pages behind. I agree with what you are saying about them, Reed. I think teams FLA would beat them by a hair, thanks to good defensive play
 
You guys can keep dreaming Arkansas is gonna get run out the stadium. Nick Saban and Kirby Smart are gonna throw the kitchen sink at mallet who is not very mobile at all. On the other side of the ball Bama has at least 4 players that will go in the top 3 rounds of the draft WR Maze,Julio Jones, Trent richardson Mark Ingram Arkansas defence is not up to the challenge. On top of that its a "red out" lol does anyone remember Georgias Blackout 2 years ago how did that go oh yeah it was over in the 1st quarter. Yea im a bama fan but I love football this is the best offence Bama has ever had period and with nick Saban you know the D will be well coachd and disiplined. Bama 35-17.
 
I'm interested to see how bama's secondary handles a quarterback who stands up tall enough to unload the ball fast to WRs before the pocket collapses.

I still expect the Tide to win, but I think that this is the trap game of the season for them.

Trap? Try toughest game of the season for them. Petrino can motherfuckin' coach.

In my weekly report on the Miami Hurricanes, they played an awful, penalty ridden, two turnover game against a decent Pitt team and still won 31-3. The U is back baby.
 
Bama should win, but Ryan Mallet has enough pocket poise to take them down. it's not like Bamas's offense is unstoppable. pretty straightforward, stop the run game and you have a chance

how is that not evidence that beating Pitt nis not an indicator that you're back (baby)?

That is UM football at its finest. Historically UM's best teams have led the nation in penalties and played very sloppy, getting by simply because we have the best athletes on the field. It looked like the U out there again today, playing that sloppy and still kicking the shit out of the other team.

Pitt is still first or second in the lousy big east. When talking about the ACC, at least we can say that the Big East is worse. It shouldn't even be a BCS conference anymore it has gotten so bad.
 
the LSU game tonite is a night game, in Death Valley, so despite a weak start this season (and it has been), I don't think West Virginia will win in that circumstance. No one else has in 10 years.


I kind of really want Arkansas to win this one. I think it would startle and breathe some fresh air into the SEC, which, sadly, is usually dominated by a handful of teams. Also, it would be nice if *both* my home teams won today. :)

ESPN says it's fucking cold in Fayetville today :(
 
is this a sign of the apocalypse? since when could Big Ten teams score, on average, approximately 45 points on one Saturday?!
 
Wow TLB...SO disappointed with your comments on UCLA/Texas above. :D

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I gotta say I LOVE the city of Austin. :)
 
valid point, but one must understand that scoring +70 points in a Jim Tressel offense is akin to scoring two times that much in an offense heralded by someone like Urban Meyer
 
it wouldn't surprise me if Coach Tress made him take a knee instead of going for an easy run TD... just because the Buckeyes were "beating them by too much" ;) joking, but kinda serious
 
Axl, you do realize that every single Big Ten team was playing a Div I AA opponent this weekend, right? ;)
 
jeez. can't a guy just be happy that the most conservative, tradition-blinded college football conference scored points after points after points?

I bet Joe Pa was shitting brix

1 - my comments that UCLA/TEX was blah? What would any football fan think when looking at a perrenial BCS bowl team, at home, ranked #7, and facing a perrenial disappointment? :\ I stand by the idea that my expectations were warranted - at that time. Hindight says different.

2 - Tell my you, or anyone, was expecting a team that was 1-2 (Lost @ Kan St 31-22, Lost at home to STAN 35-0 with the coach apologizing to fans after the game?, got past #23 at home 31-13....sitting at 0-1 at the bottom of the Pac-10)....was going to go into TEX and deliver that kind of ass whooping. I doubt it.

3 - Where would you be if UCLA had lost like was expected? Shrugging and saying again well, maybe next year....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

UGA, wtf are you doing this year? Saving all your hopes for a game with us, or GT (which I also think you'll lose), hinging a 'savable' season on that shite? And that relates to GT as well...wtf is up with them?

And USCe vs AUB....better than I expected. And with the wrong team winning for my tastes but I'll not quibble.

Seems I overestimated most of my picked losing teams (they were worse than I expected), except for Cinci and Oregon St, both making their games much more interesting to watch. Meh, for your entertainment, I'll continue to make horrible picks for free, and keep my day job. :\
