WEEK 5

SEC FOOTBALL

Headliner:
Auburn at Florida
Florida jumps on Auburn early and never takes their foot off the gas. Florida 45 Auburn 24

Your next best options:
Alabama vs Florida State
Major Applewhite continues to make John Parker Wilson look much better than he really is. What a gem Saban found in this guy.
Alabama 34 Florida State 24

Ole Miss at Georgia
Matthew Stafford gets more help from running game than Seth Adams. Balance = Win
Georgia 30 Ole Miss 17

Mississippi State at South Carolina
Poor Quarterback play and stout defenses make this one sloppy. Predicting at least 3 turnovers each. Ol Ball Coach puts Blake Mitchell back in at QB in 4th quarter for game winning drive.
South Carolina 20 MS State 17

"You're playing who?"
LSU 52 Tulane 6
Kentucky 45 Florida Atlantic 28
Arkansas 38 North Texas 17
Vanderbilt 31 Eastern Michigan 13

Oh My!! Will We See Another Upset??


Ok, I was off on my picks from last week, but was close on a few. One thing was for sure...it was a crazy first weekend and I expect nothing less in week two.


Week One: What I Expected and Well, Didn't!


I expected that Ole Miss and Memphis would play another close game - so with that - it's going to be another long disappointing year for Reb Fans.


Now...I knew MS State would lose to LSU but I predicted that it would be closer..and that the Bullduggs would at least score a damn field goal..but...no luck. Poor QB for State....I think him and Coach Carr (Michigan Coach) are a match made in misery. On the other hand, all the free gifts from Henig didn't really show if LSU will be a legitimate threat to win it all this year, but this weekend at VA Tech could be the sign if the Bayou Bengals are fo' real.


Now...the Michigan loss was embarrassing - even though App. State is a powerhouse in D-II..they should not beat the 5th ranked team in the nation...sad...but excited to see the little man kick the big bad wolf in the junk. I say..if Lloyd Carr does not win 10 games and beat MI...he will be looking for a new team (I heard MS State could be open).


My Thoughts


Southern Miss looked a little sloppy - we ran good but did not show much in the passing game. They cannot play like this against Tennessee or it will be embarrassing - not to mention - orange nation is pissed after getting donkey stomped by the boys from Cally.



  • Alabama looked good - if only against a scrub - Vandy will be more of test. A bit.

  • GA Tech also looked good..I mean, they sacked every QB Notre Dame had...twice.

  • Good News: Miami hasn't fought anyone yet & they beat down a sad looking Marshall..bad news...they play Oklahoma this weekend.
