I'm glad someone else finds Ricky Stanzi as funny as me. his USA short speech after last years Orange Bowl was epic. I watch this youtube clip once a week

what a great way for Fox to leave their atrocious run of commentating and producing the BCS games. its like that commentator thinks that the Midwest hasn't even seen running water yet. do you think everyone in the Midwest was rooting for Iowa (as that is Big 12 country, hell no). do you think that the South was rooting for Georgia Tech? again, hell no. it seems that the South would like to kick Tech out of its region entirely

for myself, Ricky Stanzi stands as a true American in an ocean of red communistic bastards
 
Bama scared me a little in the first half. Allowing Tenn to score first? What the fuck. That habit really needs to be broken. Second half we looked a lot better. If we would play the whole game like we did the second half, we would be a badass team again.
BTW, props the Julio Jones. He doesn't get the ball as much since the focus is on Ingram and Richardson, but proved he has the skills when he gets the nod.

As much as I despise Auburn, there is no denying that Cam Newton is amazing. That cocky bastard is instrumental in their winning season. Fucking bullshit that they are ranked #1 in the BCS polls. (I just hate them. It is probably deserved.)

Oh how I love it when the #1 team falls. As long as it isn't us. Sorry Okies. That was a great game. We flipped back and forth between them and Bama.

it's frustrating because we really are talented. we're just young, no depth, blah blah blah blah.

I'm already buzzing about a possible victory at the cocktail party.

yeah I'd rather bet on UGA than FL right now. although the Gaytors have a good defense, they don't have any momentum right now. at least the Dawgs are starting to play impressively

UGA on a 3 game win streak, FLA on a 3 game losing streak....I'm not very confident in this game from a FLA perspective, even with the extra week to heal up and prepare. That statement makes my stomach queezy....

I didn't watch much football this weekend, and that felt good (because we didn't lose, mostly). Though I did catch the back end of the OU-MIZZ game, and greatly enjoyed that. I loved getting updates on my iPhone about TX losing, at home, to who??? Oh yeah, ISU 8) :D The updates on MSU-NW were decieving :\ I thought NW might pull the upset! Local radio only gave me choices of PITT-RUT (blech), PSU-MINN (ugh), or ND-NAVY (double ugh on ND, but Go Midshipmen!!....word is that game will be in Dublin, Ireland in an upcoming season?). I completely missed the good SEC games of ARK-MISS and LSU-AU :\ But was able to catch a good bit of the WISC-IA game (Great GAME!) and glimpses of NEB-OSU (high scoring....meh).

To be honest, I was hoping some teams ranked 20-25 would lose and allow us to back into the rankings during an off week....its sad when you hope for a ranking that way :\


Seems we still have a shot at an SEC NC again (AU? ALA?)....but I really don't think it will happen. I fully expect BSU or TCU to be in the NC somehow (with BCS conference teams losing along the to move those two up). I could even see a BSU-TCU matchup (oh, the humanity! ;) ). Hell, with as many games as are left, I could see a lot of teams in the NC. But right now, mostly, I see FLA headed to some crap bowl and possibly winning ugly (against an ACC team like GT) or losing uglier (against a Big10 team). Is it basketball season yet?




TCU on Tuesday night? Okay :shrug:
 
yeah but I think FSU is headed in the right direction with Jimbo Fisher.

which reminds me of Bobby Bowden, which reminds me of Joe Paterno. it seems that Joe Pa has really aged this season. is he going to pass away on the football field :( I hope not, but it seems that the death of a true college football warrior would be most fitting for him

Yeah I was at the UGA- UK game this weekend. I would say Ealy and the offense in general was looking alot better. And I won 100 bucks with that AUburn win, so good weekend
 
"right now we're like the Germans in World War II. here comes the boats, they're coming. you have the binoculars, and it's like, 'oh, my God, the invasion is coming'" said Chris Dooley head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers on the status of his team

when will coaches learn that metaphors between their teams and wars or disasters simply do not mix? I find them always hilarious, but you know somebody is going to get offended somewhere out there in the world

c'mon man
 
LSU Freak's animated gifs for the weekend were excellent.

I would take these over box scores any day of the week.
 
I was actually at the UK-GA game this weekend. While ealy looked good he only does when he plays teams with shitty run defenses. If UGA wants to beat FL a whole more things will have to align. Though I like how the line is even right now and I am still believe the dawgs can take the east.
 
Georgia is the best team in the SEC East, IMO. South Carolina managed to get up for the game against Bama, but other than that are as mistake-prone as usual. Aaron Murray is a very good quarterback too... I can't wait to see him mature a bit.
 
Agreed on Murray-- I hope we get 4 years out of him.

As for the game in Jacksonville: Florida will play up, and ya, Ealey wont have a 5 TD game-- he'll be lucky to have two. If the Dawgs are up to it, the win will look a lot more like the games against tennessee or vandy. I just hope the defense can stifle Florida's inexperienced brantley.
 
Uuggghhhhhh...weak..week 9... let's get it over with.

THU
7:30 PM ET No. 16 Florida State at North Carolina State (+4) - Thursday night fodder. FSU should win, NCST could make it a fight....appropriate Thursday night fodder. I'll go with FSU, not to boost FLA's SOS, but simply because it feels likely to happen.

FRI
8:00 PM ET West Virginia at Connecticut (+6.5) - BigEasy, nobody cares, WVU just dropped from the rankings last week ... if you can't find anything better to do, you can watch UCONN get beat, again. But there has to be something better to do on a Friday night.

SAT
12:00 PM ET No. 22 Miami (FL) at Virginia (+15) - UVA getting things turned around, looking for their first ACC win....won't get it here. Even at home, I don't know if they can beat the 15 pt spread. I'll put Harris down for 2-3 INTs, but big numbers overall and another win.

2:30 PM ET Tulsa at Notre Dame (-8.5) - ND needs to win 2 of their last 4 to make a bowl. This isn't going to be one of them. Tulsa to win.

3:30 PM ET No. 5 Michigan State at No. 18 Iowa (-6.5) - Interesting matchup, one of the best of the day, IMO. A win puts MSU in the driver seat for the Big10+2 championship spot. But, I think Iowa wins this one. Sorry Sparty.

3:30 PM ET No. 6 Missouri at No. 14 Nebraska (-7.5) - Winner pretty much owns the Big12-2 North. I'll put this at the top of my 'must see' games for the day, and be fine with whomever wins it. My gut wants to go with Big Red, my head is just way confused. I'll go with Bo.

3:30 PM ET No. 15 Arizona at UCLA (+9) - Can the pistol take down a ranked AZ team? IMO, yes. Not just cover, but win. Go Bruins.

3:30 PM ET Florida vs. Georgia* (-3) - Whens the last time this was played with neither team being ranked? It's been awhile. Hell, most of the time they are both ranked. Shows how far they fell this year, and reflects that pretty much nobody outside of the Jacksonville Landing give a shit. I'm tempted not to give one myself...maybe that's just pre-emptive emotions preparing for a loss. I think UGA is poised to stomp FLA and really cause this FLA team to implode. I've spent too many weeks waiting for FLA to break out and show something, to not only be disappointed with performance, but be handed ugly losses. We're not going to pull a magic rabbit out of our ass this week, not when UGA feels like it is starting to click. UGA wins, 42 - 13 (that is IF we have our kicker back :| ).

6:00 PM ET No. 1 Auburn at Mississippi (+7) - Will #1 fall? No. And I honestly don't get the line being only 7 pts. YES, Ole Miss has improved, but have you seen Cam Newton? AUB wins big, 45 - 10.

7:00 PM ET No. 13 Stanford at Washington (+7) - I'm not sure why I listed this one, other than maybe the close line is trying to tell me STAN is in for an upset. But i don't buy that. STAN 24 - WASH 0.

7:00 PM ET No. 25 Baylor at Texas (-7) - So, when was the last time Baylor played at TX and was ranked? Much less 'ahead' of TX in the polls. I agree with the line this time, BAY 10 - TX 17.

7:30 PM ET No. 8 Utah at Air Force (+7) - Can the Falcons pull the upset and derail one of the BCS busters? This time the 7 pt line is holding me back from my enthusiasm on having AF win...but I'll at least take them to cover. UT 24 - AF 21. (But I want/hope AF pulls out the win)

8:00 PM ET No. 2 Oregon at USC (+6.5) - Why list this one? As much as I want USCw to suck, and they are 5-2 (2-2) and at home. I suppose that's the reasoning for the close line. Everyone has faith in Monte and thinks he can stifle that ORE offense. I say no, and not just because I want to keep ORE ahead of the BCS busters - I have more faith in the Quack Attack than I do in any Lane Kiffen led team. ORE 38 - USCw 20.

8:00 PM ET No. 11 Ohio State at Minnesota (+25.5) - Why is this listed? So the Bucknut fans don't whinge about a lack of respect. But we all knew this was a W before the schedules were announced.

8:00 PM ET Michigan at Penn State (+3) - Close matchup, not a high profile game for anyone's attention outside the Big10+2 faithful. Honestly, I'm expecting the retard to light up PSU. The question then becomes can PSU score enough against a non-existent MICH defense to keep it close. Yes, but they can't win. MICH 31 - PSU 24.
 
I almost expect USC to win this game, even though Oregon has been quite impressive. If Oregon starts the game at their pace, I say they will win. If USC stifles them even a little though, this leaves the window wide open!

Mizzou and Nebraska is also the game I'm most looking forward to... %)
 
Still grinding after the loss to LSU...found this

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

This is the first time that both Florida and Georgia will be unranked in the Associated Press poll entering their matchup since 1979. Georgia won that game 33-10

Feels like old times :\

Not sure how I feel about NCST beating FSU. It doesn't help us, but I never really wish FSU well.... Hell, OU is the best team FSU will face this season, and we saw what happened there.

Actually, the lesson I'll take from this is to never look back....on my predictions. I think I'd starve if I worked in Vegas. :\

what does this even mean? it seems that you are deteriorating by Florida's three back-to-back losses ;) "why is this listed?" as in, why are they playing the game? because they have to, they are both in the same conference

why is it a night game, then? well tOSU only has three night games this year (Miami, Wisco, and Minn). other than that, most of their games have been an early game. I agree in a game between tOSU and Minn isn't going to be that exciting (when is the last time Minn ever bested tOSU?), but TV networks know that the hordes of Buckeyes fans that live all over the globe are going to tune in

they care about money, so a lot of viewers are going to help them out
 
I knew Florida State was going to lose to NC State. As always, Florida State is an uber-talented team that suffers from poor coaching and variable motivation, similar to the Canes. I think it is worse with FSU though. I have never been sold on Jimbo as a good coach. He was basically running things before as they were falling apart under Bowden.

I'm still hoping that the Canes and Randy get things turned around this season and finish 12-2 with an ACC title and BCS bowl win. My head still tells me that we lose to Virginia Tech, however. By beating North Carolina it appears Shannon has done just enough to keep his job this year. Hopefully he wins out the rest of this season and brings some glory back to Miami, he is a very likeable person that I would hate to see fail.
