Official SEC Football Thread 2009

[macpappy]

What a great day! Here's the lineup according to the tv guide on my satellite:

Georgia vs Tennessee
Alabama vs Ole Miss
and then....
Florida vs LSU

[OLS]

OH, Bessie, the bulldog fans have that look on their faces again, and THIS time, I really
feel for them. I am not TN fan, but I have to admit it is nice t see them not limping towards oblivion
again this week. The band girl they just showed that was past crying, more like her best friend
was just removed from a car with the jaws of life...kind of a sad shock.
CMON DAWGS, lets make the 4th quarter count.

[OLS]

Some interesting facts on this one, mostly DUH stuff, but LSU and FLA have won the
national championship twice this decade and the winner of THIS game each year has
gone on to win it all. YUM.

Not so well known...the last time Tiger stadium saw a battle of top 5 teams?
None other than LSU-Ole Miss on halloween night 1958. And anyone outside
of LSU fans that knows the name Billy Cannon will probably roll their eyes at
that one, the famous galloping ghost punt return for a touchdown. "Billy Cannon's Run"
is all it's called in LA. But it has stood the test of time, showing up every year on TV
stations throughout the state on Halloween, and popping up on quite a few big game
broadcasts in Death valley. Don't be surprised if CBS doesn't show it tonight.

Boys and girls, it ain't never gonna get any bigger than THIS ONE.


btw, If you want to see Billy Cannon's run, here it is:

Gonna be a long year for us I fear.

RTR!!! Heck of a job by our defense.

Time for a Master Blends II victory smoke

[OLS]

That Gary Danielson has some good eyes, and I guess it only happened if they call it. Tebow's roomate grabs the LSU defender's jersey and gets him all out of whack and catches the easy TD pass. Still, that's football, and the karmic wheel DOES turn. And it's nice to see LSU is not the pushover America thinks they are at #4. 10-7, not too bad. BUT, Cooper WILL pay for his ***** move , by Grabthar's hammer, we will be revenged!

If we tackle, we have a chance. Right now we are not tackling.

That Florida/LSU game was a battle of defense. Offense on both sides were more than sub par, they were almost unbearable to watch. You can say that tug was a difference maker all day, but know one will EVER know the true outcome. That's one thing that annoys me when people say "Oh they wouldn't have own with out that play". You take that play away, then something else will happen, but we just don't know what will happen exactly. That being said, I still think it will be Alabama and Florida in the SEC championship game.

I don't think I said that Florida wouldn't have won without that play. I think it was just a bad call on the part of the officials. That being said, bad calls or non-calls happen in every game.

I can't see anyone in the SEC East except Florida being in the championship game. I think the East is still wide open. Don't annoint Alabama the SEC West champs yet...

I was trying to direct what I said to any ONE person, merely a statement of dislike to those who are all about arguing that changing one play can change the outcome of the entire game. Case in point, Twins vs. Yankees, game two where the ump called a hit to left line foul instead of fair. Maybe a new pitcher will be introduced, maybe a different set of calls. You know what I mean?

You are correct. Seldom is it one play that makes the difference. Just don't tell that to any Seahawks fans that were robbed in the Superbowl a couple of years ago. The replay showed it wasn't a touchdown, but the officials let it stand.

Despite that call, I believe LSU would have lost anyway because they couldn't get the offense moving.

[longknocker]

Great Game & Pics, Michael! Hopefully, BAMA Will Get A Rematch With Your Gators!

[OLS]

I will own up to it...I think that FLA does not win without that cheat.
I think you are correct, one play being reversed cannot possibly infer that everything else carries on the same,
in fact, it's more likely that everything changes. But I do say that if FLA does not get that pass on third down,
they punt and the fact that LSU holds for a third drive makes LSU get riled up and fired up and they score two
TDs. Lol. What can I say, I am a homer for the Tigers.

But I think that was LSU's only ticket to the SEC Champ. in Atlanta. Florida is tough, but highly beatable.
Alabama is much more complete. If we have 25% better QB action, we rip FLA a new one and expose them
for what they are, a GREAT defense and a good offense. Alabama is almost perfect on both sides of the ball.
That said, I am still going to homer up on the Tigers and say that we beat Alabama. Look how far it got me
with Fla!

Hope You're Wrong, But You Have To Stand Up For Your Team! Should Be A Barn Burner! Roll Tide!

Thats why I'm taking the Cocks with no points against you my friend!

Well it's easy to speculate about plays, but like icehog said that stuff happens every game. We won that game on defense and played with obvious limited offense so if y'all are going to pull it off against Bama you'd best put something special together.

Same thing for S. Carolina, I'm sure Spurrier's working hard after Kentucky's game last week. They'll need a lot, esp. playing at Alabama.

Yes, that stuff may happen every game, and there is no DOUBT that Florida WON THE GAME.

Lowest points scored in the Urban Meyer era. Gives me DEEP satisfaction.
NO touchdowns scored except for a cheat play. Makes me feel MUCH better.
Gators noted twice on National TV for cheating, hehe, that is just perfect.


Best play of the game for me, personally. When the nose tackle busted the Florida center's chops and set him
on his A$$ for moving his head repeatedly. Call that LSU Def. Coord. a chump for being an ex-Tennessee reject, but
I like his advice on that particular situation. I laughed for 45 seconds on that one.

There is no reconciling this really. Everybody hates Florida but Florida fans.
It's because of the smell of their wins, and the sting of the losses they hang on people. You can't get over it.
But I am proud of my Tigers for showing the way for Arkansas to whip their ever-lovin A$$ this weekend.
You won't be treating Ryan Mallett the way you treated Jordan Jefferson, I can promise you that. I am not
sure how much defense the Hogs are going to bring, but they can go TD for TD with Florida.
All the rest of us can hope for is that the Gators go down.

I do not feel animosity towards any FLA fans, though. You have a winning team to cheer for, and it's not like
you don't feel for your Gators the same way I feel for my Tigers. It's just that most people feel sorry for you
for the choice you have, lol.

I am not sure what the rules on other campuses are, but one thing you can count on

you do not mind drinking ever-warmer beer. And if you want to be treated properly at
tailgate time in Baton Rouge, a Tiger fan should be able to look past your attire to what
is really important, mainly that you are there to party. "Have some Jambalaya, bra
it's got Gator in it."

You try to serve TIGER at some other venue, the federal government would shut you down.

[icehog3]

Great scenario. Brad. I imagine that Florida gets angered by the penalty call, gets so fired up they end up beating them 72-3. But it's all conjecture now.

That tug got highlighted...but that stuff is going on all game, every game....just stands out when it happens on a play that ends up with the football in the end zone.
