Official SEC Football Thread 2009

I don't know if it will be this week (although I'm hoping the Vols beat the Tide), but I'd be surprised if Bama and the Gators both finished the season undefeated. The SEC is just soooo friggin' tough week in week out. I admit I haven't looked at the remaining schedules for either team.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida (No. 1 BCS, No. 2 AP) could be without three defensive starters against Mississippi State.

Linebacker Brandon Spikes and defensive tackles Jaye Howard and Lawrence Marsh practiced sparingly this week. Coach Urban Meyer doesn't know if any of them will play Saturday night in Starkville, Miss.

Spikes re-injured his left groin last week against Arkansas and sat out much of the game. The Razorbacks ran for 133 yards and finished with 357 yards -- the most against the Gators this season.

Meyer says Howard, who has an injured knee, and Marsh, who hurt his ankle, are doubtful.

The Gators already are thin on the defensive line because Justin Trattou has a biceps injury that could keep him sidelined for weeks.

I don't think Bama's scaring anybody, that's their problem. Florida certainly has proven to be
less than terrorizing. Problem is, they keep winning. Hopefully "officials on the verge of a
nervous breakdown 2009" will level the playing field just in time. Funny to hear local sportscasters
talk as if most of them take for granted an unofficial-official scheme to keep undefeateds undefeated.
Sounds a little far fetched to me, but wherever money is involved, look out. I have been outspoken
about officiating, but I thought it was incompetence and home field bias working into the calls.

Good Point! Would Same The Same Thing About BAMA, Admiral.

Oh it's an excellent point, I just prefer the Tide so I give em cover. Of course me pullng for them is not
a good endorsement by any means, lol. I am trying not to reduce the SEC season to that at this point, however.
I want it to last as long as it can, cause it's over so fast. Then I have yard work on Saturdays. I hopefully have
quite a few joys and pains left watching LSU. I hope Auburn doesn't re-animate from the grave on us tonight.
