Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

If I were an LSU fan, I would rather see Tebow play. I would want to go undefeated knowing the team beat the best, not that Tebow being out was a big factor. But, that's me. I figure to be the best, you gotta beat the best.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Very good point

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Gonna have to pull for those Bayou Boys this weekend :fu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

You're dead to me, Joey.


:fu :r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Imagine if Ole Miss had beat South Carolina. We'd have 2 Top 5 sec matchups in the same weekend (#1 vs #5 and #3 vs #4)! Bet it would have been the first time that ever happened in any conference.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

so how 'bout some predictions for the UF-LSU game?

i got Meyer over Miles, 31-17

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

hahahaha myself.

BUT, let me remind ALL of the FLA faithful, that if you put Tebow in the game,
we ARE going to take him OUT of the game. I do not mean this in a
'gunnin for tebow' mindset, I mean that a concussion is a serious thing, and
sports coaches and trainers have LONG been known for putting players in
games they should not be in, given what we know about the brain today.
And there is no way in hell the Tigers are going to treat him like some kind of
tender baby that needs to some extra deference. He is going to go down on
his a$$ and stay there if we can get to him and hit him, like any QB on any
team.

And on the subject of a win 'the right way', I tend to agree, but there will be
no asterisk by this game in the record books if Florida fields an 'inferior QB'
and LSU wins. Teams play teams, not scenarios or wish lists.

ALL That said, LSU has a tough challenge ahead. NO turnovers, a decent running
attack, and WHOEVER the QB is, we need to hit him, get him rattled and KEEP him
rattled. We need to keep the score low and manageable. Our chances are lower than 50-50.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Actually, had that happened, Ole Miss would still be No.4 and LSU would likely be out of the top 5.
WE took the Rebels' spot. Can't have it both ways, lol.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Wow! Rick Flair is here!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Ole Miss would be #4 but LSU would most likely be #5 (maybe #6 at worse). Only team that might have took the 5th spot from them was Boise State and I doubt that. All the other teams in contention are 1 loss teams.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Don't Think Tebow will Play, But Fl. Still Wins, 21-14.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Very true

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Rings true, whether for wrestling or football....don't you agree?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

WOOOOO!!!

Ric Flair is a Gator fan by the way :banger

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Hopefully cleared to play soon. :)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Sorry Bro that was at South Carolina

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

minor thread jack....
Speaking of SEC football and wrestling, I was sort of surprised to see Kevin Green is now an assistant coach with Green Bay. I was wondering what he did following his short stint in the WCW.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Gators will win whether or not Tebows in. Lsu doesn't have a convincing win yet and they were one penalty away from overtime with Georgia. John Brantley is probably more accurate a passer than Tebow and gets the ball out quicker. This should be a fun game to watch. :tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

yeah that was at USC but Flair personally is a Gator fan, he's been to several games at the Swamp on the sideline.

Here's the proof:

look under "other celebrity Gator fans"

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I am hoping for the best, as we'll be in Baton Rouge. Maybe that will help. We shall see. I am hoping for a nail biter with an LSU victory. Ummm, I need to find a place that serves a nice alligator po-boy! mmmmmm:banger

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

ESPN.com reporting that Tebow's status will be a "game time decision".

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I pray he plays because if he doesn't, and LSU wins, they will say it's because Tebrow didn't play.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

If I were an LSU fan, I would want Tebow to play too, Jimmy... "To be the best, you gotta beat the best".

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

This is what I keep hearing everywhere, but I am not sure how this argument
sets up. Penalty or no penalty, you can't discount a LONG runback of the kickoff from Speedy Jones,
Trindon Holliday, and LSU drove the field on the ensuing drive. All the Tigers NEEDED was a field goal
to WIN. We scored a TD instead. You are telling me that 15 yards makes a difference? I don't get it.
YES, the penalty was unfair, but the Tigers are playing the bulldogs in their home stadium. This sounds
like the gripe of a fan who came into Tiger Stadium and got penalized unfairly. (And there was a
'make-up call" given)
What difference does 15 yards make when a kid runs back a kick 40 yards?
What difference does 15 yards make when all of our receivers are blanketed
and our QB rips off 26 yards in a run (setting up a chip shot field goal win?
What difference does 15 yards make when we could have kicked a winning field
goal on 3rd down and ended the game?
Was the penalty for Excessive Celebration a hose-job? Sure. Is it why LSU won?
Not the way I see it. LSU has a great ability that no one can take away from them.
We win games late bacause we want it more. We take
complacent teams who score in the last two minutes and their fans are peeing
on themselves in joyous exuberance and we turn them into crying teenagers felt up
on prom night. I felt sorry for the GA fans they were close-upping in
the final minute on CBS, even as I was laughing my a$$ off. I can hear Vern Lundquist now,
"All he ever wanted since he was a kid was to be the quarterback at UGA, and now he has
won the biggest game of his life in convincing style."

Whoops...hold on there, Verno. :D

I KNOW that I am focusing all my anger, for ALL THE PEOPLE who say and think
that a penalty LOST it for UGA, on YOU, or it seems that way, but I am really
not. I am only setting the record straight. No one and I mean NO ONE is
giving the Tigers a chance on Saturday, and I am here to tell you that they
are ALL wrong. I WILL gladly pay my 5 cigar bet off should we lose, and I will be here to take
the abuse should we lose, but at least I get to say it now, NO WAY LSU loses this game.
Sorry Timmy Tebow.

And my good friend Jackie Sherrill said it best. He said "I had a QB named Matt Cavanaugh,
and everyone wanted to know if he was going to play after a concussion, so I asked his father
what he wanted me to do, and he said play him if you want him, so I decided right there NOT
to play him, but I told the press he would play if he was ready. He didn't play, but I forced the
other team to change their entire game plan. He even warmed up on the field
prior to the game, but he didn't play." THAT is what Urban Meyer is doing to
Les Miles, but the trick is, Les Miles doesn't care, he is playing FLA, not Tebow.

Good luck Gator fans.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Have a cigar and a drink, Brad. ;) :r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Oh, I can set it up for you real quick....It's a young gator fan.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

So is this thing still on? I'm still down :su


:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Oh I would never welch on this bet, it was a lot of fun striking it up. Even my previous rant for which Tom told me to
chill out is only based on my intense desire to get it on. I am so ready for this game. It will be tough to get through
a day of awesome football to get to 7pm central. The day is really set up for a SEC football fan. What a lineup on tap.
I do not believe that Tebow will play much. I'd be willng to bet he goes in and delivers a real hit on a LSU defensive back
just to show he is not sitting out out of fear. I also can see a scenario where he just plays, medical condition be damned.
Stupid, but not unlikely. I am not worried about the QB. I am only mildly concerned about the defense which is formidable.
Mostly I think it will be simply the best game of the year. :dr
Look for a breakout game by Randle at WR for LSU ;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Power, I guess we need to determine by Sat afternoon whether this is a
habanos only BET or a NC only bet. Either way is OK with me.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

i'm not quite proficient enough to make it a habanos only bet. i'm good for a couple CCs and the rest NC

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

You dam right, Tom! Might as well put it all out on the line. I don't look forward to the Bama game either, but one week at a time.:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Nah, if you need to split it up, we can keep it all NC. I have some stuff I bought for the troops. Or you can call it.
You have a better chance of winning the bet, so maybe it should be what you want to receive and RISK having to come up
with a certain number of CCs should you be lacking.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

aight bro, lets do CCs then :su

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

as big a game as UF at LSU is lets not forget the other big matchup:

Alabama at Ole Miss

any thought or predictions?

i think it might be a close one w/bama edging it out

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I think Ole Miss stays in it and maybe leads at halftime but Bama pulls away late. I think Bama is a much better team than Ole Miss but Ole Miss has had this game marked on the calendar all year. Also, Houston Nutt has a history of upsetting top 5 teams, he is alot more dangerous as an underdog.

And sorry Gator fans, but the FL vs LSU game just feels more and more like an upset the closer it gets, but I'm sure thats just what Urban wants it to feel like. I still think FL wins but my confidence in that pick is really starting to get shaky.

That should be "aren't", SC Brainiac. :r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

To be honest, I think the boy has people in BR that are likely going to pick him up,
but if not that's a hell of a hitch. OR maybe he's got a suite at the Royal Sonesta with a TV in it.
OR there are bars with TVs and I can guarantee that there will be some ticketless LSU fans
watching in the quarter.
