NCAA Battlezone

Go Hogs!

Auburn game -- what a nail-biter!

The quacks are whacked!

Skunky, I heard that Les is begging for Jefferson to be reinstated for their first game and has agreed to two requirements. First that Jefferson go barefoot (should be use to that) and second that Les agree not to eat the turf during the game.

Regardless, I hope that ya'll have some great turducken made with that Oregon ducky after your win!

Love that commercial on ESPN. Well even though the deal fell through and JJ didn't play and Les DID eat grass, glad you ended up enjoying your Oregon Turducken.....Go SEC, except for Awwwbarn..

I get to work early, and the security guard and I talk football. He advised me to take the points because he didn't think on the first weekend many teams would run up the scores. I should have taken his advice on a couple of them.

He advised me to take Maryland over Miami. He told me about all of the stuff going on at Miami which I had been too busy to research.

Good luck to all tonight!

The main thing I noticed is that two VOL fans are up on top..............just as it should be.

You are right EastTennWaterDog, I am a Vol fan also and the mother of Fulmer4senate and never can get at the top.

Is USC a must win game for Richt?

That's what some of the talking heads were saying today.

Many think that Auburn won't be a playa unless they beat their first SEC team, Mississippi State. Ditto for Auburn.

Thanks a lot Morris and Miami. If you would have gotten a TD on the prior drive that would have put you ahead by 5 instead of 2 you might have won the game. And then you have to try and come back again and throw a pick for a Maryland TD, crap! Now I have to settle for a 9-6 finish on the pick'em.

Thoughts after week one:

SEC West:

Alabama: Solid Defense, still questions on the O side...
Auburn: Lucky period. Soon to run out...
Arkansas: Tune up scrimmage. QB solid, Defense much improved...counting the days to Bama..
LSU: Enjoyed Oregon Turducken....looking very good at all positions. Les is one with the grass.
Miss St: The scary one in the bunch. They could be very strong and create a lot of headaches with upper West.
Ole Miss: You've been nutted (again) Recruiting the cheerleaders for a RB

SEC East:

Florida: Scrimmage game. Few mistakes, too early to have an opinion. The fans were well organized with the chomp.
Georgia: Ugggah. Look like a re-run of last year except the neon uniforms. Probably would play better under blacklight conditions.
Kentucky: When does basketball season start?
Tenn: Seems balanced, but played a team full of ranchers that love Brokeback Mtn....
S.Carolina: Better figure out your QB situation or you may not meet this year's hype.
Vandy: Looking forward to playing UK

I'm thinking Auburn is better than they showed. Utah State is not awful and they threw everything they had at the Aubs and it still was not enough. I watched the whole game and the guy doing color kept wondering when Auburn would start passing, and once they did, there was little Utah State could do to stop them. I think Auburn really wanted to see what they had and figured they better get their act together at some point in the fourth. I bacame a fan of US's QB-True freshman, first start ever on the road at Auburn, and he looked better than any QB LSU has suited up since 2007.

The biggest losers were the Auburn fans bailing with three and a half minutes left in the game...for goodness sake, they had raised their National Championship flag a few hours earlier!

And true story, I was at a party watching the LSU-Oregon game without the sound. A highlight of the UGA-Boise game comes on, and I'm saying "who the heck is that?". "Arena ball?" came a guess from the crowd, then we saw it was the Georgia Dome, but honestly, we saw the whole highlight and had NO idea which team was which. But then when you thought you have seen the worst uniform ever, Maryland took to the field last night!!! Egads! I'm dreading LSU sporting their special Nike unis later this year...it could be a disaster.

Go Cocks! One of my alma maters.

"Florida's field noise won't be a problem. I'm a better quarterback on the road, I love the opposing fans. It motivates me and gets me going even more. Me, Da'Rick, Justin, and our offense can't wait to see all of the doubters and haters down there and all week." [video]http://youtu.be/Mor3ZBsKINI[/video]

I told ya the Aubbies were not as bad as advertised. That said, I couldn't figure out why so many people were jumping on the Starkville Express bandwagon before the season began. We're about to find out alot about Tennessee and Florida this week. And LSU who I feel could comfortably beat MSU without throwing a single pass (they will pass, of course, but MSU run defense is terrible) will continue to roll. Georgia is ready for the proverbial fork stickin'. Bring on week three!

Urban, get out of the ESPN booth and give your advice Chizik! I picked AU, hubby picked Clemson.

Death Valley is a scary place from my experiences as a spectator there.

Want to change your opinion now? Way to go Clemson!

Great job Vandy deNutting the Black Bears!!!!

Now if UCLA can beat the shorthorns...

Hubby's flight to Barcelona just left. I emailed him a pdf of all of the scores from cbssportsline right before Delta made everyone turn off electronics. I wish he were not incommunicado.Bobby J, I know that your daughter knows Chris Rainey. She must be really happy, especially after Chris has performed so well after he was disparaged on ESPN.

Welcome to life under the "Reverend" Nutt.....it will only go south from here....Hottie Toddy

Saturday 9/17/11: Vandy 30 Ole Miss 7


From the Ole Miss AD Pete Boone a couple hours after the loss

“It’s unacceptable,” he said when reminded the Rebels are now 1-9 in their last 10 SEC football games. “That’s not Ole Miss, and we’ve got to find a way to change that. This is just not the kind of football Ole Miss is supposed to play or is going to play.”



Email sent on 9/18/11 from the AD to the donors.....

"Dear ,
The Rebel Family is the most important part of Ole Miss Athletics. Without your generous support month after month, year after year and generation after generation, Ole Miss would not be what it is today - a destination university for Mississippians as well as the nation. The richness of tradition and pride that encompasses Ole Miss fans all over the world is unparalleled. The fullness of the Ole Miss football experience that you deserve and have generously invested in, has not lived up to expectations recently. Coach Nutt and I met today and discussed the current state of Ole Miss football. Both of us are extremely disappointed in our performance this year. We agreed that to be successful, this disappointment must be met head on with solutions for improvement. We discussed several areas that needed improvement and I support Coach Nutt in his effort to correct those areas.

As I have said, Saturday's performance and our running two-season SEC record are unacceptable. Our commitment to compete at a championship level is as strong as ever and we will succeed! We need your continued support of the team as Saturday is another SEC weekend and we need you here!

Sincerely,

Pete Boone Director of Athletics"


In short.....

Well, that game was just so surprising I did a spit take and spewed my Dom Perignon into the Beluga caviar. Luckily the dog wasn't startled - would hate for her to have knocked over her Waterford dish that was a gift from the Shah of Persia. :roll:

Noles. Before the game.
