Hey everyone. We have arrived here at LSU's Tiger Stadium, where a lot of people are outside drinking heavily.Heard on my way in: ``We've finished the Absolut. Now it's time for Seagram's."
PRE-GAME UPDATES:
- Eltoro Freeman is starting at weak-side linebacker.
- Hot Carter is starting at strong end.
- Anthony Gulley now is wearing the No. 8 jersey.
War Eagle!!!
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!
ReplyDeleteFreep,
ReplyDeleteDoes LSU miss your definition of decent as well?
My one weekend 16 game playoff makes a lot of sense. Every single game will be played in the same stadium all on one weekend. Can you imagine? You watch Auburn play. If they win, they may have to play the following game. There are only 15 games in a 16 team playoff, so we could have the entire playoff over in less than 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteYour nuts SteveFC, nuts
ReplyDeletesecond on the nuts motion.
ReplyDeleteWatching this game should further prove that Auburn's offense going downhill is not just a strength of schedule thing. We looked better on O against this team than either UF or Bama has.
ReplyDeleteHey, I may be crazy, but I solved the playoff thing and I handled it without changing the bowls. It is just that the top 16 teams go to one bowl. We could even let them go to the place that needs help the most. Can you imagine the Katrina bowl playoff in New Orleans? It would really stink for the teams that draw the 3a.m. games though.
ReplyDeleteCompare and contrast our offense against Kentucky and Bama's offense against Kentucky. 500 words or less. This is an open book test.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that David Palmer is the closest thing to a Heisman winner that Bama has had. I would have put about half a dozen players from our 2004 team ahead of him.
ReplyDeleteIngram has 72 yards.
ReplyDeleteHeisman front-runner.
Thats easy Steve, Bama scored we didn't
ReplyDeleteIV,
ReplyDeleteI'll answer that question in about 5 hours. . . ;-]
Freep,
ReplyDeleteWhere do you have LSU ranked in the SEC now? Upper half or lower half?
OK, point made.
ReplyDeleteLSU is the only decent team remaining on Bama's schedule.
But they aren't as good a team as they were in, say, 2005. Which was the point of my original post: Bama may not be any better than they were that season, but there's not a 2005-equivalent LSU or AU waiting for them at the end of the year.
Why does Alabama's field look like a sand-box? It looks like they play games 5 days a week at B-D.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many weak links on the UAT defense, but it looks like Kareem Jackson might be one.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great defense. They make you go through hell to get points, and when you think you might get some, they make a big play.
Maybe they have been practicing for Steve's playoff Aufan
ReplyDeleteLOL, '87. I didn't think about that. Steve must have Nikki on speed-dial.
ReplyDeleteJet,
ReplyDeleteTo score on their D, big plays for TD's are a must. They will only have a few plays a game to hit them on, a team will have to be razor-sharp to pull it off. I don't see many long, sustained drives against the Evil Empire.
TN would love to have that missed FG from the first half about now.
ReplyDeleteAUfan ...
ReplyDeleteExactly. You know you've got a heck of defense when you don't have a first down in the second half, and you would be stunned to lose.
UAT's D is scary good. In pains me to say it, but it's true.
ReplyDeleteGulf ...
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I didn't think they'd make this FG, and they didn't. Lincoln is struggling.
Hope to God I am wrong guys but heard directly from a player that Chris Todd is out tonight.
ReplyDeleteThat field goal was huge. I hate games where we are ahead by 6 for most of the game. We had a game against LSU like that known as the earthquake game, I believe.
ReplyDeleteTwo possession game = game over for TN. Might be ugly, but another win for UAT.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sure he is. ;]
ReplyDeleteReemer got a hand around? Are you allowed to say that on TV?
ReplyDeleteI heard T. Cody ate Chris Todd.
ReplyDeleteJayGT - we'll be leaving our hotel and walking over there to join you in just a couple of minutes.
ReplyDeleteI still feel like AU is going to get clobbered. I hope I am so very wrong.
Ingram's numbers are limited based on two facts:
ReplyDelete1) Tennessee has dominated time of possession
2) Tennessee is a top 5 SEC defense
I'd hate to see him win it because it'll be one more thing Bammers never shut up about, but I'm not ready to write him off yet. Tebow hasn't played a great game yet and Tim Brando says it's his to lose.
Go figure.
That was one impressive run by Ingram.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Lane Kiffin may talk a lot, but he is going to be very good at Tennessee. The future their is bright.
ReplyDeleteTHT, I share your sense of impending ugliness.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, we will be pleasantly surprised.
Any chance that Todd and Elroy have been exchanging notes?
ReplyDeleteIngram is very good, but he deserves the Heisman about as much as Obama deserved a Nobel Peace Prize.
ReplyDeleteThe future there is bright? Yep. Bright orange.
ReplyDeleteObama for the Nobel Prize? I didn't know they gave a Nobel Prize in B.S. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou can't convince me that INgram deserves Heisman over CJ Spiller (who probably won't win it either)
ReplyDeleteThat fumble there was important for the Heisman talk.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first game in less than a week that I've expected Auburn to roll.
ReplyDeleteDoes a close win change poll positions?
ReplyDeleteTD UT
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
ReplyDeleteWinning ugly is back.
ReplyDeleteSensi, I don't think Bama looks as dominant as they did earlier in the year. Their offense seems to be regressing, but the defense is outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThat Bama/UF game looks more and more interesting.
Dion Lewis of Pitt has looked better than Ingram.
ReplyDeleteOf course, Ingram may pad his stats when he plays against our leaky defense.
Holy Julie Jones!!!
ReplyDeleteThey have certainly regressed on offense. Wonder what the issue is?
ReplyDeleteNeed a double move over there.
ReplyDeleteGO VOLS!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnyone hear some toilets flush in Alabama?
ReplyDeleteHe just called Bama Auburn.
ReplyDeleteAnd holy hell if Tenn wins this.
HOLY MOLY!!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, this would be a tough loss for the Tied.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a finish!!!
ReplyDeleteDAMN
ReplyDeleteJeezus, comeon Tenn, you can't do anything right.
ReplyDeleteApparently Eltoro will start.
ReplyDeleteWhat a finish.
ReplyDeleteSurprised??? Of course not!
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time champions won like this. Now we expect high powered offenses putting up big numbers to impress pollsters. This was old fashioned SEC football.
ReplyDeleteOooh Cody, nice man boobs.
ReplyDeleteEltoro is starting tonight.
ReplyDeletewhat is a curmugeon???? And how do you spell it????
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a BS penalty. Game was over. No reason to screw around with a meaningless penalty that didn't decide the game. I wish college football would get rid of some of these BS penalties.
ReplyDeleteEltoro starting? Wow. He must have had a great week of practice.
ReplyDeleteWell time to focus on our game...hopefully we start the turn around tonight.
ReplyDeleteThey may believe that Eltoro will at least be in position to make plays which is better than what had been happening.
ReplyDeleteSo, is it all Todzilla, or does Caudle win it for us?
ReplyDeleteheard something about Herring being dinged up--what say you Jay?
ReplyDeleteIs this why Eltoro is starting?
What I don't understand is why it took so long to locate the ball after the block.
ReplyDeleteWow, just thought of this - if it hadn't gone past the LOS and UT recovered it, then they would have had another chance to kick it with :00 on the clock, and 15 yards closer (with the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty on Cody, of course).
The SEC refs this year can't avoid controversy on the CBS game.
ReplyDeleteI'm disappointed in the outcome to the UT-Bama game.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure ... kick ... ends possession ... UAT recovers ... 15 yard penalty ... one untimed down with UAT's ball is my belief.
ReplyDeleteIt was 3rd down, so if UT had recovered, then it's a different story, but apparently nobody knew where the ball was.
ReplyDeleteSHOOT ME IN THE FACE!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a no call penalty in my mind, but RK, you would be correct if UT recovered the ball -- behind the line of scrimamge.
ReplyDeleteHere's the truth Ruth: deep down, I may have actually been happier to see UT win today than to see Auburn.
ReplyDeleteWhy, with a 1st down, 40 seconds left, and a length challenged kicker, do you not try ot get more yardage/ 45 yard field goal was too long for Lincoln... had to kick it low... you saw what happened. Kills me.
yes--that sounds right. But since they all had no idea where the ball was, it's a moot point.
ReplyDeleteBut I suspect we won't see Cody rip his helmet off again.
Hope the guys can dig down deep tonight--gonna take something special to come away with a win tonight.
WDE!
So I guess we can put to rest the "weak competition" argument for Auburn's first five games.
ReplyDeleteDamn Damn Damn.....UT almost, almost...Our time now!!!!!!!!! Beat the imposter Tigers. War Eagle!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOK AU Tigers = Prove me wrong- I will eat hot sauce on my crow - and like it.
ReplyDeleteYes, as brilliant as UT managed the game in the first 59:15, they screwed the pooch in the final :45.
ReplyDeletePlenty of time to have gotten closer, or at least take a couple of shots at it.
Git'er done Auburn.
ReplyDeleteseriously Michael, WVU is 6-1 and we all just saw what Tenn can do.
ReplyDeleteOT 'Cane's vs. Clem & Son. Hard call.... but since I HATE the U go Tigers.
ReplyDeleteOh Yea.... Nice throw for Clem & Son
ReplyDeleteI'll disagree ... more plays were more opportunities for UT to screw up ... in college, you get the ball inside the 30, needing a FG to win, the offense and the coaches have done their job.
ReplyDeleteHeard a rumor that Todd is out. Can't be true.
ReplyDeleteJay G- How does Chris Todd look in warmpups tonight?
ReplyDeleteDidn't see who it was that made the hit on Stocker on that last UT pass, but he won the game for 'em.
ReplyDeleteThere was nothing between Stocker and the endzone if he'd missed.
Good game, what I saw of it. Let's hope we can take better advantage of our opportunities in Red Stick tonight.
Maybe Todd is out of bad luck - that's all I could imagine. No way he is out.
ReplyDeleteI knew Auburn in white jersey's was too good to be true!
ReplyDeleteIt's time!
ReplyDeleteWhy did this game have to be on ESPN2?
ReplyDeleteAgreed. It's time to whip some bayou tigers!
ReplyDeletebecause we all love Bob Davies.
ReplyDeleteHere's to Chris Todd bouncing back this week.
ReplyDeleteGame thread is UPZ.
