I've enjoyed reading your thoughts.

You're right that he needs big numbers. "The Juke" really helped him, but all eyes will be watching the Who game. The west coast and northeast voters will have to be won over and right now they’re lovin’ some Luck. If they see the TR we know and love it may sway some votes.

Yep. After Kent State I was concerned. After Penn State I was hopeful. After Arky I was feeling good. After the Gators (who was coming in on a roll and in the Swamp) I felt we were watching a very good QB form before our eyes.

My thoughts on Mizzou is ….meh. I prefer a North Carolina team but that’s probably remote. If it is Mizzou I hope you are correct, they go to the east. At any rate it will be way too many tiggers.

Before the Bama game I was really impressed with the job Muschamp had done. But after about 7 minutes playing with the gator toy, Bama took the wheels off the gator wagon took their lunch money.

Before the season I couldn’t figure out why the media was so high on Jimbo & FSU. He’s recruited well for 2 years now and they will likely be better in a few years but Jimbo is no Nick Saban.

I respect CMR but he has trouble keeping everyone around him out of trouble. From the AD to his coaches to his players. He needs to man up and take control of his program.

I think Nick has been underrated. When he’s in, it seems like he is always disrupting the QB. I’ve been impressed by his play last year and this year. It just goes back to the depth this defense has.

Poole seems like a fine young man. A lot of guys would have taken those questions and talked trash but he was refreshingly honest. He’s not backing down, just knows it will take everything they have to stay in the game. He even seemed concerned about the future of the rivalry if 10RC keeps getting blown out. Unusual coming from a Vol. We’ve come to expect only thugs who can’t spell their own name, much less the word orange. I wish him well.

That said, Poole is the one who broke Bama’s string of games not allowing a 100 yard runner. I hope the “D” remembers that.

"Alabama at Mississippi: To make sure Alabama's players are appropriately dressed for Saturday's visit to Ole Miss and The Grove, T-Town Menswear is giving a 100 percent discount on all merchandise accompanied by a player's autograph. In other words: it's business as usual. Alabama -25"

Who is this brett butthead? Is he a barner or something? He certainly don’t mind pulling his pants down and showing his jealousy....and ignorance.

I was asked once what constitutes a motel down in boogerland. It’s really a trick question but here’s the proper answer:
If the trailers are shoved up against each other end to end, then it’s a motel. If the trailers are stacked on top of each other, then it’s condos.

The only question I have is, how many 2x4s does it take to buy an NZAA investigator?

Maybe the barn bank records aren’t the only ones that need reviewing.

 

"I expect everyone else around him to play well with him."


For some reason I find this amusing. 

Yep. I hope we’ve seen the only let down of the season.

45 - 0

Could be worse but coach calls off the dogs to start the 4th.

The only way Ole Miss scores is off a turnover or long kick return.

WV is correct. How can they survive that kind of logistics when a “sellout crowd” is like 50k.
I still maintain Boise’s best fit would be the Big 12...er..10..uhh 9. But, the one thing they have in common is they are both talking big but looking for minor competition.

 

^^^^This^^^^
Anything that gets them TV time is a win for them. To get ignored is the worst thing that can happen for them.

One can hope.

I think if Missouri comes to the SEC then Boise should go to the Big 12. They’ve hung their hat on beating OU for what, 7 years or so? Play them every year, right after playing Texas and Okie St. Then we’ll take them seriously. 

3. Oklahoma 4-0; Texas State Fair pregame menu includes funnel cake and "Bevo on a stick."

 
Now THAT"S funny!!!

Good points, especially about Conference USA. Southern Miss used to be a great 2nd tier team until they joined C-USA.
And I love North Carolina, it’s a great market, TV and recruiting.
