Gotcha. I don't know many yanks with UT ties, that's why I asked.

Being born and raised a Bama fan, the rivalry with UT has always been a special one. Growing up, UT was my second favorite team behind Bama. The third Saturday in October has always been a day I look forward to. Unfortunately, Phat Phil took a lot of luster off the historic rivalry and replaced it with some pretty nasty venom. Time tends to heal most wounds though, and I hope in time the Bama-UT rivalry can get back to what it once was. But for now, I hope we kick the living dog shite out of y'all come October. :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Come on...you still like me, right? :) I still like you, just not your football team! :tg ;) One of my closest friends is actually a Florida alum (works for them at some capacity now) and we sure have fun ribbin' each other...actually I'm sure it's been more fun for him for a good while now!
Your feelings toward Fulmer are similar to mine for Spurrier. Man, I can't stand that guy.

My Dad is originally from the Western part of NC, so I do have some southern ties. A lot (lot) of family is still in Western NC (Statesville area). My Uncle moved to Knoxville and his son went to UT and is now a professor there, so I have some semblance of a tie to UT. That may be why I first became a fan, but it was a while ago, so I'm not sure.

What's the difference between Steve Spurrier and God?



God doesn't think he's Steve Spurrier.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

And God never won a National Championship.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Are you kidding? Everyone knows he rushed for 1.76 to the 567th power his freshman season.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Now that IS impressive! :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Answer: For Gator fans there is no difference b/w the two

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

You see... God didn't actually rush the ball for all of those yards... he stood still and moved the universe around him.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

SOS isn't God... but he tells it just like it is. That is why lots of people don't like him. It is the same reason some don't like God!!!

I still love the ol' ball coach and what he did to bring the Gators from a "wait 'til next year" team to one that has won more games since 1990 than any other college team. Years ago we would have sold our souls for a 10 win season. Now it is fully expected. Long live SOS!!!!

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Gator offense is just miserable today...Yes offense to Pouncey, new CENTER PLEASE!! It's unbearable to watch

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

:tpd:

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

26 yards combined passing and rushing through 3 quarters? :hn

Thank goodness for Janoris Jenkins.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Jacksonville State beat Ole Miss 49-48 in double OT... And the final TD and conversion were epic!

Also my Hogs trounced Tenn Tech (no surprise).

Gators looked pretty awful today.... I expected much better. Hopefully they'll clean it up for the real games.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Hope not :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Hope you don't get another goiter. :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

SEC play of the week for me was Julio Jones' one-handed touchdown grab :jd

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=302470333

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

I most definitely agree on this point ROLL TIDE!!!

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

:tu:D:banger

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Nah. The play of the week was Kevyn Cooper's catch on that 4th and 15 long ball for Jacksonville State which delivered a 1-footed touchdown landing and subsequent set up for the defeat of Ole Miss on the conversion.

...I mean c'mon. Jacksonville State!?! Anyone beating up Hootie Dale Nutt is great in my book... But a div2 rent-a-win cupcake school?? It was GLORIOUS.

Oh and it was a great catch!

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

I was disappointed in Ole Miss. But of the two coaches in the SEC who I am never surprised if they blow one, Les Miles and Houston Nutt, one blew it and the other came close.

As Richie says, "Houston Nut is crazier than a bag of weasels." and it is undoubtedly true :2

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Mike, I hope you don't mind a small pictorial tribute to Houston Dale...just kind of seems appropriate at this juncture.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

I guess it looked like that, and it can certainly be argued, but I am not sure who let off
the gas. Miles is not a real 'let off the gas' guy, so I think the play calling or the execution got
sloppy and LSU flirted with losing to, no rent-a-win for sure, BUT a self-depleted team that
played extremely tough. Those two formerly not-scheduled-to-play linebackers were a
couple of black tornados, weren't they?! THAT'S when things tightened up for LSU for sure.
Those two came in and proceeded to pop some leather. But for all the poof scheduling, first
game of the season drek on display in the SEC, it was nice to see a real game. I'll say this to
our lost in the wrong thread ACC lovers, "it ain't gonna be no cakewalk gettin by the Tarheels
in ought-ten.":D

HOW in the HELL did J State embarass the rebels like that? WOW, good for them.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Those are all favorite photos for chopping and general satire over at the Woopig. They crack me up...

...Oh how I LOATHE Hootie Dale.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Week 2 notable matchups:

Auburn at Mississippi State

Penn State at Alabama

Oregon at Tennessee

Georgia at South Carolina

USF at Florida

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

The game of the week in the SEC for me is Georgia at USC saturday. The outcome of that game could have big implications as I think the SEC east will come down b/w UF or USC. I got Spurrier's boys winning by 10

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Penn State vs Bama might be a decent game but im interested to see how the Gaytors do against USF, thats not going to be a pushover game IMO. Esp after how terrible they looked last week.

But i will be at the Cocks vs Dawgs Battle. :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

If Miss State could've had just a little more maturity on their side of the ball Auburn would not have stood a chance last night. Overall a good game. Now just waiting for the Tide to come in WOOT

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

MY MAN!!!!! :tu

Go Gamecocks! I am a die hard Gamecock fan. Only 2 games ever matter to me--Clemson & Georgia. I think my might mighty gamecocks will take down both teams this year.

It is crazy some how Clemson fans* refuse to give any credit, ever. When S.C. wins a game, it is because the other team sucked or had a bad day. When S.C. loses, it is because they suck. Those same Clemson fans also refuse to believe they would get nowhere if they were in SEC, instead of ACC. A prime example of how weak ACC is was last year when the ACC #1 & #2 ranked teams (Georgia Tech & Clemson) were both beaten by mid/low ranked SEC teams (Georgia & S.C.).

:wnr



*I said some fans, not all (even though it is most :r )

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Agreed. Dan Mullen coached a great game. Agreed that with a little more maturity and or play execution they had Auburn in their sights. Nevertheless, I think Mullen is gonna get 'em to a bowl game this year

I'm going to grad school in Clemson and know what ya mean. I would think its a two way street though. Thats part of the deal with big rivalries, to discount the wins of the other. I know thats what I always do w/UGA and Tennessee ;)

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

I sorta agree about the 2 way street. Clemson fans seem to really really really REAAAAAALLLLLLLLLY hate when the Gamecocks do well.

On another note. Clemson has an amazing campus. Damn good cheese and ice cream too. I used to bring home blocks of Blue Cheese when I visited friends there.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Miami and FSU getting the @ss kicked out of 'em plus the Gators handling teams they're supposed to = great day to bleed Orange n' Blue! :tu

Lookin' forward to watchin' Bama take care of business! Send Joe Pa to the retirement home :D

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

The Gators finally started coming around in the second half. There were certainly some good things to build upon.

Loved seeing SOS lead the Cocks to a victory over the Dogs!!

I NEVER EVER want Miami to win a game... but I hated to see Half Ass U get used like they did against OK.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Bama is making PSU look like an ACC team:r:r:r

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Go Gamecocks. That is all....

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Razorback O isn't looking so swooft tonight. D has been solid up until this final ULM drive where they made a few stupid mistakes. Otherwise, D has been a wall. Our famed high scoring offense has been anything but. Ughhhhh.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Oh, don't worry...they'll probably wake up against us in a couple weeks. For a team that has only given up 6 points and no touchdowns so far, something about this defense still concerns me.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Speakin' of ACC, JMU beating Virginia Tech was the best performance by James Madison since the Federalist Papers :r :r

(pardon my nerdy history jokes)

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Honestly, it probably shouldn't. I mean, you HAVE seen Richardson run, right? I've got a sneaking suspicion that that guy is going to make us hurt. Ingram doesn't scare me as much as Trent. We'll see how our new defense really is against GA on Saturday. If our O doesn't step it up and start syncing then we don't stand a hopes prayer against Bama. Of course, if we do sync up... better hope your secondary stays strong or it'll be a shoot out.

I'm just glad this is a home game for us. God help us if it was in Tuscaloosa.

Yessir....go Gamecocks...

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Gamecocks looking pretty good so far, better than the Gators through 2.

+1 and these guys don't hurt either..... :D

Yeah they have unfortunately, Lattimore is an amazing player. But Jeff Demps ain't so bad himself. Gators need better offensive playcalling among other things

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

On a positive note, Major Wright has looked very good for the Bears so far.

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Don't know if ya'll heard yet but one of Florida's stud players, Chris Rainey, got arrested for aggravated stalking:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5570905

I've got a little more info on the story in that I was good friends with a chick at UF who happened to live in Chris Rainey's dorm when they were both freshmen (in 2006). She is a smokin' hot blonde and Rainey took a liking to her. After turning him down several times Rainey got creepy and starting leaving sexually inappropriate voicemails and text messages. A couple times he knocked on her dorm room wanting to come in and talk, which of course she did not open.
While he never left threatening messages like he did in this current instance, it was definitely an issue of sexual harassment and this friend of mine nearly contacted the UFPD when finally Rainey dropped it and left her alone.
Point of the story is that this is a character trait for Rainey and one I think that is all too susceptible for athletes.
Don't care how good of a player he is, Meyer and the Gators do not want or need guys like this wearing an orange n' blue uniform

Re: Offcial SEC Football Thread 2010
 

Only if Duke suddenly recruited Peyton Manning. :r
