Hey everyone. Everyone who had "night game" in the AU/UT pool is feeling mighty good about things right now.ESPN has picked up the game and will televise it beginning at 6:45 p.m. CDT on Oct. 3. The game will be played in Neyland Stadium, a large facility that holds lots of fans, and should provide an intriguing matchup.
Tennessee's power-run game could be an issue for the Tigers' defensive front.
Auburn's multi-dimensional offense could be an issue for Tennessee's linebackers.
one?
ReplyDeleteno missed tackles
ReplyDeleteblast, well Im at school so I should get a handicap
ReplyDeleteshenanigans
ReplyDeleteno fruit sucks like the big orange.
ReplyDeleteregardless of the time...
ReplyDeleteBTW the new prototype helmet is 3-0. It's got to be the helmet ... and a focused team and coaching staff. But I'm goin with the helmet for right now.
ReplyDeleteSomething to consider for the Arkansas game on Oct. 10:
ReplyDeleteCBS has a doubleheader that day. That means Fox Sports gets an 11 a.m. game to go along with the regular 11 a.m. SEC Network game.
Here's your SEC lineup that weekend:
*Auburn at Arkansas
*Florida at LSU
*Ole Miss at Alabama
*Tennessee at Georgia
*Houston at MSU
*Kentucky at USC
I predict Auburn will be in one of those early slots that week. That's my hope.
That's an awesome day of football
ReplyDelete"Tennessee's power-run game could be an issue for the Tigers' defensive front."
ReplyDeleteTHIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've seen that oct 10th sched before, what a glorious day
ReplyDeleteThey low-down, they dirty, they some snitches ...
ReplyDeletePulling that classic out of the archives JAY G!
ReplyDeleteMy concern with Tennessee is them wearing out our linebackers. I think we are okay depth wise on the defensive line.
ReplyDeleteI am counting on us simply outscoring Tennessee.
That, Steve, is entirely possible.
ReplyDeleteWho hates pumpkins?
ReplyDeleteI will have to 2nd or third Michael's sentiment about D Adams no-look catch. Definitely one of the greatest catches I've EVER seen.
ReplyDeleteUT is going to be able to power run all over us...we just have to score more points, and against Monte im not so sure about that
ReplyDeleteWe could end up playing on ESPNU for Arkansas. I bet sportswriter Tate is getting very sick of night games.
ReplyDeletei thought you were supposed to be unusually optimistic...false advertising
ReplyDeletemytommyd - for real. When you realize where he was in his route when the ball was thrown, it just doesn't get any more precise than that. I know I haven't seen it all, but I have never seen a route like that run even in the pros. Usually timing routes involve quick stops or outs, not skinny posts 1 yard from the back of the endzone. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteMonte Kiffin > Gus Malzhan in my book.
ReplyDeleteExperience matters.
I would pay someone $100 to play an early game on the 10th.
ReplyDeleteI need an early game there. So badly
Florida's offense isn't the same without Percy Harvey:) They rely too much on Tebow running and without a go to receiver, they had issues.
ReplyDeleteWe will have to be able to pass against Tennessee and FAH may have a good game in that one.
Does ESPN have two night games planned for the Arky / AU game week? If so, I'm fairly sure ESPN gets the next two after CBS, and I would have to imagine we would make the top 4 games that week list. If ESPN only gets one game, then we will be a lock for an 11am time slot.
ReplyDeleteI missed the UT game. So all of a sudden they have a for real offense? Because for all our D's trouble, it is hard to imagine they are that far below the level of UCLA.
ReplyDeleteAnd I doubt UT and their fans will be as up for a game this year as they were for the Florida game.
Do you have a fancy dinner party the night of the 10th, Jay?
ReplyDeleteJay G. that is a classic KI wonder how he really feels about Tennvols
ReplyDeleteI fly out of Tulsa at 6 a.m. the next morning.
ReplyDeleteFayetteville to Tulsa is 2.5 hours.
If I leave the press box at 1 a.m., you can do the math. It wouldn't be a fun morning.
I really hope Ohio wears out that Tennessee team. Who am I kidding? I wish we played them this week instead of Ball State. Both teams should be rested in two weeks.
ReplyDeleteUT can run the ball at least fairly well. Their big problem is passing.
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone so worried about UT all of a sudden?
ReplyDeleteThis is how I see Oct 10:
ReplyDelete*Auburn at Arkansas -7:00 ESPNU
*Florida at LSU -3:30 CBS
*Ole Miss at Alabama -7:45 ESPN
*Tennessee at Georgia -8:00 CBS
*Houston at MSU -11:00 am FoxSports
*Kentucky at USC - 11:30 SECNetwork
Michael, I thought they had two different routes going, until all of a sudden he hits to the inside and the ball is right there. AWESOME!!
ReplyDeletetheir problem is named C-R-O-M-P-T-O-N.
ReplyDeleteI want an early game on the 10th too, since I'm going to a concert that night.
ReplyDeleteUT's D and it being our 1st road game has me worried about the trip up there. I know their passing game is bad, but this team hasn't played on the road yet and definately hasn't played against a D that good.
Ball State @ Auburn could be the most lopsided game I've ever covered.
ReplyDeleteAs far as predictions go, Clubber Lang would say: ``Pain."
UT's running game can control the clock if we don't tackle better, and make that a much shorter game for our offense.
ReplyDeletePeter- I agree with that list except flip the Bama/Ole Miss game with the UT/UGA game.
ReplyDeleteJay G,
ReplyDeleteEven worse than the 73-7 game vs LaMonroe?
Cause that's what we do Sean :)
ReplyDeleteI think we get the pleasure of worrying about games until November.
Problem with Tennessee hmmmm UF put up 23 on them...uhhh they ran the ball well on UF...WVU ran the ball amazingly against us...
ReplyDeletei hope you're right. you think we hit 70? and if so, does the North EZ scoreboard short-circuit? i think the HD board could handle it, but the North one....BOOM!
ReplyDeleteI am not as worried about Tennessee as I am Arakansas, even though Arkansas doesn't have a defense. We play them after Tennessee and we will likely be beat up. Arkansas is one of the teams that might match us score for score and our depth issues may come into play then.
ReplyDeletei'm worried to death about Tennessee b/c i freakin' live here. my goodness, do i want to beat the snot outta them agai! ok, i had to get that off my chest.
ReplyDeleteTennessee's running game is a different monster than WV. WV was all about speed and the added threat of Brown running. I will try not to have nightmares of Crompton running.
ReplyDeleteDifferent sort of problems, Jhag. Apples and Oranges. Florida ran all day over UT, UF's passing game is not that good, and it showed Saturday. I daresay we will matchup better offensively.
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at Ball State, and they are bad bad bad. I hope to see Caudle getting some meaningful reps early and often in that game.
ReplyDeleteoh, True, Eddie. Flip those two. Either way, Jay G's screwed with a sucktastic late postgame trip to Tulsa.
ReplyDeletewith Todd's heel/ankle or adjacent body part wounded, why not see Caudle play the entire game?
ReplyDeleteI was at that La Mo beatdown.
ReplyDeleteMichael Owens of Deshler High fame finally made the field and had a game.
First date for me and Mrs. Sensi as well.
Good times.
I heart early away games.
ReplyDeleteHope it works out for Ark.
BTW, HABOTN caps are now IN THE MAIL for those who didn't pick them up on saturday. you will have them for the huge BALL STATE matchup this weekend!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI will be in Fayetteville on Oct 10th also. 11:00 games are just terrible for everybody, except idiots. I could handle 2:30
ReplyDeleteI am worried about the Tenn game, but I worry about all SEC games. I don't think Tenn will bring the intensity to the Auburn game that they brought to the FLa. game. IF the BIG IF we improve on tackling we should win a close game against them.
ReplyDeleteSensi,
ReplyDeleteI was at that La Monroe 73-7 game as well.
Me and a friend of mine tried to get a "Marshall Thornton" chant going when we got down to the goalline late in the game. He carried it once and was stopped before the endzone and someone else scored.
Auburn scored a touchdown on every possession the last time Ball State played in J-H.
ReplyDeleteAuburn's offense is better now. Ball State's defense is worse now.
Pain.
thanks scottie...looking forward to my package.
ReplyDeletere: living in Kville...i understand your pain, and wish braggin rights galore for you.
Jay G.
ReplyDeleteSpeculation on crowd size?
I hate early games, but in this case I will pull for it for Jay G. Besides, I want to see some of those later games too.
ReplyDeleteCrowd: "87,000"
ReplyDeleteis there another season when we have had more night games? i can't remember one.
ReplyDeleteWes- Next Season :)
ReplyDeleteScottie,
ReplyDeleteI'm with you. Living in TN, I don't want to lose to them. Since I live on the corner of TN, GA & AL I really have three teams whose fans all live in this area.
I was at the last Ball State game as well, fun for the first few minutes... then got boring.
ReplyDeleteI feel better about the UT game than I did the WVU game. UT's running backs are more comparable to Dixon than they are two Devine, we controlled MSU's running game for most of that game.
I would love to see Caudle or Kodi get lots of snaps at QB versus Ball State. We can beat Ball State with the RFYLK offense, but not Tennessee.
ReplyDeleteJG with the crowd size humor. nice.
ReplyDeleteANOTHER ticket alert: i'm not going to be able to go to the game this weekend. if anyone wants my tickets please let me know. i can't afford 4 straight weekends on the road. bummer. :(
Thanks Scottie B!!
ReplyDeleteI personally love all the night games, even the Ball State game coming up. The night crowd is just so much better than the day crowd.
ReplyDeleteI'm bring the wife and kids for this one. Can't wait.
Wow I'm and idiot and a half. Comparable to Devine, not two Devine.
ReplyDeleteIf it keeps raining, they will have to change Atlanta's name to Atlantis.
ReplyDeletei love the night games (particularly at home), but then again I don't have to work them like JGT.
ReplyDeleteSean- I swear somebody has built an Ark. My truck was flooded this morning. I had water in the cab. Not good. Going to the shop this afternoon. It's vibrating now.
ReplyDeleteArkansas has announced an unprecedented 9:30 AM kickoff, just for Harrison.
ReplyDeleteI was watching a replay of Mario Fannin's TD catch on the screen play ... big block from Travante Stallworth on that play.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea he was playing.
my wife noticed that the WVU fans seemed to be "calling the hogs" at several point during the game. i had another explanation which is inappropriate to post. anyone see this and know what they were actually doing?
ReplyDeleteWhen WV thought they had them all covered Gus springs Fanin on them. That is waht I like about this Auburn offfense.
ReplyDeleteI'd like a day game in Fayetteville, too. That way, I can get a tad more sleep before flying home. Jay G, is it that much more expensive to fly into NW Ark?
ReplyDeleteAt one point they were also doing the Gator Chomp. Do they think they are as good as Fla?
ReplyDeleteLooked like jazz hands to me, wes.
ReplyDeleteGetting from ATL to XNA is a 700-1k dollar trip.
ReplyDeleteTHT and 2.0 better stay outta my way!
ReplyDeleteHello all. My boys and I are still drying out from Saturday. It was worth it for that game.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the defensive challenges UT presents, my belief is that they are not in the same league as WVU by any stretch. I think WVU is the best offense AU will face all year.
Go ahead, call me a meshuggana, but barring an injury to that man-child QB and his team of fleet footed smurfs, WVU will win the Big East and dominate the rest of their 2009 opponents.
Comm'r pulling out the Yiddish.
ReplyDeleteIt did look like King Kong and the Brigade of smurffs
ReplyDeletePerhaps they thought they would stirke fear into the hearts of the Auburn faithful with the Gator champ. Evidently they also don't keep up with recent history.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what the fans were yelling when they were doing that yelling thing. I just know their band was VERY loud. (I'm a band guy, I take notice)

ReplyDeletePF - huh? I haven't been keeping up today. I hate work. Whachootalkinbout?
ReplyDeleteBeasley!!!!!
ReplyDeleteoh, crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BANHAMMER ME NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteOops, Fail. THT's gonna be mad.
ReplyDeleteyeah, that, THT.
ReplyDeleteDropsie THT
ReplyDeleteLOL at THT
ReplyDeleteWisner had a block that turned Fannin's big gain into a touchdown. I love how our receivers are blocking down field this year.
ReplyDeleteAs far as UT's running game, I think our d tackles and Bynes are different from what we have been fielding in the past at those positions. I think they will fair much better against a traditional power running game than they did against W Va. In the past, when we had 200 lb middle linebackers, this would not have been the case.
I am more worried about their defense. In the old days, I would have said good D always gets the best of good O. In this topsy turvy world though, I am not sure. I have no idea what to expect in that game.
Also, mad props to #96 Chris Humphries. On our first kickoff, dude ran down like a mad man and demolished someone. He wasn't even going for the ball carrier. W Va figured it out and then proceeded to knock him down the next couple of kickoffs until he was finally knocked out cold. I hope he is alright.
ReplyDeleteBut I rewound every kickoff and said "Check out 96! Dude has guts!" So I looked up his name, and now I have a warm spot in my heart for him. Go Chris Humphries!
Michael - I loved your 50 lb post earlier today which I just stumbled upon.
ReplyDeleteAnd to answer your question, we would have had to use 1,176 footballs per play for each of the 87,000 game balls to have been "official."
Now y'all excuse me while I get back to work. I'm obviously no good to HABOTN anymore. What a failure.
One thing we know is that the UT practice offense will in no way be able to replicate the speed of our offense. I think a quarter and a half of our offense will have any and every team gasping. It even eventually wore down WVU. And I think it took THEM until the 4th quarter because they get to practice against it
ReplyDeleteTHT - thanks for crunching the numbers on that one. I knew I could count on you!
ReplyDelete(of course, I don't believe in any of these numbers since I have never counted to them before, but that is a whole 'nother deal)
Gus > Monte.
ReplyDeleteMonte uses the Tampa 2, but Gus uses the South Beach 3. Works every time,
I suspect Saturday will be canktaculously ugly. Hopefully we can get a 3 TD lead and get the reserves out there. No need to use this game to build a poll resume. Regardless of UT's station in life, we'll get in the poll if we win there. The poll is not my worry.
These Auburn-W Va highlights from the auburner are hilarious/exhilarating. What a complete video:
ReplyDeletehttp://theauburner.com/?p=53
If you look at my 50 lb post again, you will see that immediately after it, rk said, "I wouldn't care if Warren Moon said the same thing."
ReplyDeleteNow, he was in mid convo with something else, but I thought it was still pretty fitting and pretty funny. After people tell me something from now on, if they take too long, I will say, "I wouldn't care if Warren Moon said the same thing" and walk away. What a phrase!
THT ,,,
ReplyDeleteDid you call me @ home on Friday night?
the "South Beach 3".
ReplyDeletethis blog needs a reality show!
This blog is a reality show.
ReplyDeleteHarrison's face is a reality show. Ohhh!!!! BUUURRRNNN!!!
ReplyDeleteJet, i had forgotten about our pledge to burn couches saturday nite. we never hit 50, but we got close.
ReplyDeletelucky couches.
Maybe my Warren Moon thing will start a new catch phrase.
ReplyDeleteSomebody rescue THT..he's about to go all low self-esteem on us. Give him a heads up on the double Beasley
ReplyDeleteJet...canktaculously? 3 times I've considered that term and 3 times.... over my head. Can someone spell it out slowly for me?
you're just jealous of my sweer moustache Michael. there's your reality!
ReplyDeletesweet moustache
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteIt sure has been nice to not have to consider kicker-on-a-stick.
ReplyDeleteHoopie...
ReplyDeleteI believe jet's word is a clever derivative of the root word "cankle".
Harrison, what I said wasn't meant to be offensive. It was a compliment. When I yelled "burn", it was because I thought you would be burning with happiness that I like your sweer mustache so much I would put it in its own reality show.
ReplyDeleteI know, the internets sometimes make it hard to get your point across. My bad.
ehyou....I was thinkin cankers, but cankles is more germain to the HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteWhich is uglier cankers or cankles?
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletehoopie,
ReplyDeleteI saw you say that at one point in your life you traveled from Naples to Auburn for games. Is that a thing of the past, or do you still live down there?
Get ready for some Bammer junk. Finebaum 'callers' are throwing around that Trooper was using the 'N-Word' during the WVU game.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what he said. I don't care. I haven't heard it, but steal your nerves up for the sh*t storm acoming.
WDE
Ummmm, Trooper's black. While I don't necessarily condone him saying that, it's not exactly the same as Tre Smith using it.
ReplyDeleteshutup, whitey.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts PF. I thought the rule was it's OK for him.
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteyes. and again Sat. a.m.
Some yankee from Michigan who doesn't like the fans of the school he attends in Knoxville, and who was wearing someone else's clothes, well, I'm sure he was glad you didn't answer the phone.
Race talks on the HABOTN.
ReplyDeleteJay G's current mood: nervous
Love that highlight Video Michael, but people look at me funny when I try to sing along to Meatloaf songs.
ReplyDeleteWhat is wrong with saying Neapolitan?
ReplyDeleteIf it was on the PF show, it gets no credence from me. Discussion over.
ReplyDeletePF = PF???
ReplyDeletePeter, are you actually Finebaum posing as a Hottie?
umm...meatloaf. navy beans, navy beans, navy beans.
ReplyDeleteregarding the race issues, i will have to consult with my heritage and get back with you.
Why does Chizz keep saying 87,000? doesn't he know how many J-H holds?
ReplyDeleteHe's just rounding to the nearest thousandth, jhag. I'm all for brevity.
ReplyDeleteI would rather him say 88k =(
ReplyDeleteexcept in your 50 pounder, right?
ReplyDeleteI just learned AU Women's soccer team visited the Southern Part of Heaven and battled to a draw against the storied UNC Women's soccer team yesterday. Unfortunately, I spent the day on I-85 and didn't get to see the match. Congrats to the AU ladies!!!
ReplyDeletePF..that was in the early 80's. I built The Bell Tower Shopping Center in Ft. Myers, the Savoy condo on Naples Beach and The Promenade in Sarasota. After 3-4 years in So Fla we moved closer to home.
ReplyDeleteThere were a lot of rumors yesterday that Troop dropped the N-bomb during pre-game warmups in a brotherhood type manner. I would prefer such didn't happen...causes too much confusion.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't doubt that the Bammers are jumping on it.
This too shall pass.
Hoopie I have heard that...Do you post on TD?
ReplyDeleteJHAg...I swing thru TD once a week. I know you are there a lot, but the banter is too young for my taste. It was also on AUN and the Scout free site.
ReplyDeleteYeah, all people do is argue...it gets very annoying but they all know their stuff...whats your username?
ReplyDeleteJHag...If I posted, it would be as Hoopie. I just read a few threads that interest me and don't even know if I have ever posted.
ReplyDeleteYa won't see "Hoopie" on Al.com. He got banhammered in 2007 when he recounted a first-hand account of a drunk Bear Bryant. The Bammer-controlled Al.com mafia promptly banned Hoopie.
drunk Bear Bryant? why Hoopie, how could you? anarchy!!!!
ReplyDeletei can't help but give u a big WDE when i drive by Cartersville. you, and Ronnie B. :)
Well they have to find something to get on us about.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I'm going to Atlanta, I have to point out that Cartersville (home of the Purple Hurricane) is where Ronnie Brown is from.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there!
ReplyDeletethe Purple Hurricane? really? cool.
ReplyDeletenow i get to point out Kennesaw, GA, home of AU leading receiver DARVIN ADAMS!!!! i lived with my aunt & uncle for a year after graduation in kennesaw. good times.
but RK, when you do it you've gotta yell it out like Jim Fyffe used to do. 'HELLO CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA!!!!' that's what i do anyways. my wife just rolls her eyes.
ReplyDeleteScottie B - do they still have the law there that you must own a gun?
ReplyDeletehope not. i'd be in violation. miss scottie no likey guns.
ReplyDeleteYes Ronnie Brown's HS team name is the Purple Hurricane.
ReplyDeleteThat's strange, Fitzgerald is also the Purple Hurricanes. I didn't realize it was that popular of a mascot in GA.
ReplyDeleteScottie B -- How fired up is the Hornet that the UT game is a night game???? Next weekend has "potential" -- and I'm bringing my gun so warn Mrs B (I really want to fit in in TN)
ReplyDeletehornet-then don't bathe or wear shoes.
ReplyDeletewait....Wes, u talking bout me homes??????
ReplyDeletej/k. i'm not from here so i'm cool. there are some i know, though....kinda scary.
Hornet, you down for a little Vol Navy action?
ReplyDeleteoh, and are you staying with me?
Wes - the presence of 32 teeth in my head hurts my cause as well
ReplyDeleteScottie -- I'm staying with the west coast cowboy...but I'm definitely joining the Navy
By the way, just a word of advice, never order anything from FYE.com.
ReplyDeleteI pre-ordered the Beatles stereo box set in August for the 9/9 release. I still haven't gotten it and it's on back order and they might not have it in the next 30 days.
I wrongly assumed if I pre-ordered something that it reserved it for me and it wouldn't go on back order.
i have a feeling it's gonna get ugly up here in east tennessee next weekend.
ReplyDeleteprotect all your women & children.
you would think so RK. bummer.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4jhHoHpFXc&feature=related
ReplyDeleteIf there are HOTTIES on the water in Knoxville, I'd gladly join you ... even if it's for a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteI'll even bring goodies.
Now Hoopie, you should never accuse Bear Bryant of being drunk. Every state trooper in the state of Alabama back then knew Bear wasn't drunk. I believe it was official departmental policy.
ReplyDeleteWill you settle for a corndog in Columbia, Jay?
ReplyDeleteJGT - I will be at the game but not on the water. Driving from Bmore!! Staying by a Dam on a lake.
ReplyDeleteIn-laws went to UT.
Hoooottttties on the water
ReplyDeleteFire in the sky.
If anyone is interested Mid TN State is on ESPNU showing the last few of the MD game who they beat
ReplyDeleteThe C-ville Purple Hurricane is hurting this year. We've made the playoffs 10 of the last 11 years. The only year we didn't was when we moved up to 3A. We're spoiled and won't make the playoffs this year. A lot of the football talent now gets siphoned off to play only baseball at the HS level and it is catching up with us.
ReplyDeleteFitzgerald is the Purple Hurricanes(plural).
My Dad was a Bammer. I was a kid and witnessed the inebriation after a gathering in Bham. This was around 1967.
I like how Rece Davis was talking about how positive of a week it was for the ACC with Va. Tech beating Nebraska and FSU taking apart BYU. True enough I suppose, but he neglected to say that MTSU beat Maryland and Southern Miss beat Virginia. No surpise at that last one, but the fact remains that ACC schools have lost to at least four non-BCS schools that I know of, and two of those were 1-AA.
ReplyDeleteThe ACC needs the U to win its next two games against Va. Tech and Oklahome...badly.
Whats up HOTTIES!!! Got my tickets for the AU Old Miss game can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAnyone hear Trooper Taylor drop the "N" word (allegedly) on ESPN last Saturday?
ReplyDeleteFinebaum has the UAT villagers out with the pitch forks and they are looking for Trooper.
Yep, Bammers are beginning to worry.
ReplyDeleteE Bro...Methinks the ACC is teetering and will fall into mediocrity again.
ReplyDeleteFBomb always uses the Racial thing to fire people up, and get a bunch of callers in to sound so stupid.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't surprise me at all that he is making a big deal out of it.
Wade, I tried. I really did. I just can't care too much about Troop dropping the N word.
ReplyDeleteI thought I heard Troop say that, but figured there was no way ESPN would show that (because it was a taped segment) if he really did say that. But yes, it did sound like he used that word.
ReplyDeleteBEASLEY!!!BEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteDouble your Beasley!!!
Words don't kill people, people do. Context matters too, so will somebody tell Finebaum to please STFU in the nicest way possible.
ReplyDeletewell, that only made me feel a wee bit better, but I guess that's better than not feeling a wee bit better.
ReplyDeletesteve, my thoughts are if the players don't care why should anyone els.
ReplyDeleteI hate night games, I hate espn, not too fond of TN. Oughta be a lot of fun that weekend. I just hope the ARK game doesn't wind up on espnu; that's the only network that carries sec games that isn't HD on DTV.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking now that it will be week 8 before we play a ranked team. If you have to beat a ranked team to deserve to be ranked, we may have a long wait. Guess it doesn't really matter.
I think our defense can deal with TN much better than they did WV. I feel much more optimistic today about our season for some reason. I said before the season started that I thought we had better first string players than 8 of the teams we would play. Anybody agree with me now?
Which four teams have better players in you opinion?
ReplyDeleteI think our D can deal with UT better than WVU, but I think the UT D can also deal with us much better than anyone we've faced yet.
ReplyDeletePlus it's on the road.
Agreed RK, I would imagine that our defensive plan for UT will be similar to WVU's plan against us. Stop the run and make 'em pass to beat us.
ReplyDeleteOur offensive strategy will be to stay away from #14.
ReplyDeleteIf UT does stop the run and we have to beat them with the pass, probably gonna be a long night for our offense. I don't want to HAVE to throw to win against Eric Berry and that Tampa 2 secondary.
ReplyDeleteYou crackers need to lighten up on the N-word. It is actually one of the funniest words in the world. Want proof?
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is interested, I'm trying to sell my Ball State, Ole Miss, and Furman tickets. I can't go to the Ole Miss game and really can't afford to travel for the others. Make me an offer if you're interested.
ReplyDeleteJay G, I met a former Advertiser man today. I was in Tallassee Tribune and met with Mr. Kevin Taylor. Auburn Graduate. Good man.
ReplyDeleteEddie's Bro,
ReplyDeleteThat's why that game scares me.
Schofunk,
ReplyDeleteHow many tickets do you have for each game?
I feel better about our chances to beat Ark than UT. Our offense is as good as UGA and our defense is better.
ReplyDeleteIV,
ReplyDeleteI have a pair for each game
At this point I think we are better than Georgia. I also think Arkansas is better than Tennessee, but it would be one of the weirdest games ever. A great offense meets a great defense, while a crappy offense meets a crappy defense.
ReplyDeleteChevy Chase and Richard Pryor were young in that vid...
ReplyDeleteWould the PC police even allow that vid now?
Probably not. Is is sad because people take life way to seriously these days. It ain't like it's life or death, or maybe it is.
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think that skit will be allowed today.
ReplyDeleteSo close to turning the page...
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at SEC statistics. Did you know that Chris Todd has the two longest touchdown passes of the year so far? Of course, we all know they didn't travel too far in the air, but would you have penciled his name in for that or any related statistic at the start of the year?
ReplyDeleteHere I go.
ReplyDeletewell hurry up
ReplyDeleteTurn the page.
ReplyDelete
