Overall  56 - 54



7 - 6 This past week. Overall I guess it was just another typical weekend for me this season. Tons of things to talk about, I feel refreshed, the sky isn't falling....Let's dive into this thing.





                                         Ten Things We Learned



1. Something that needs to be addressed right out the gate here. Although I think Alabama is the best team in the country, they do not deserve to be ranked number 1. Kansas S.T and Bill Snyder IMO, deserves that honor. You want to talk about accomplishments, lets do it then. Kansas S.T went TO Norman and won, they went TO West By God Virginia and won. The resumes of the two schools aren't even comparable at this point. IF you want make a argument that Florida should be number 1, I will listen that. But as far as what has been accomplished on the field, it's not even close. Kansas S.T should be number 1.

2. Are there any gamecock fans alive? I'm checking right now to see if there is any life in cootville. Wow. Nice job Ole ball coach. I say this not as a Clemson fan, but as someone who sees this thing coming. The wheels are about to come off. Not because of the two losses, but I think Spurrier just cant help himself. If he starts rotating these two QB's, there season will go down the drain. Here's the thing. South Carolina has a good team, but I've seen this story before. Florida once again, wins in ugly fashion. They didn't dominate statistically, but they won the game and that's all that really matters.

3. Speaking of ugly. Notre Dame continues to win in the ugliest of ways possible. Did that make any sense? I not sure this team can score 20 points. But, if you dont need to then it dont matter. N.D currently is one of the best defenses in the country. Notice I said currently. Why? When N.D goes to Norman this week, it's gonna get ugly. I think Oklahoma will destroy N.D and it's not even gonna be close. I think the line will come out as Oklahoma being favored by 7 points. I think they will win this game by a minimum of 3 td's. Here is a hint, this is gonna be my 3rd large play of the season.

4. I guess little brother finally got beat. Michigan beating Michigan st yesterday in some ways was Denards final goal. I know he wanted to win the Heisman and other things like that, but this really meant alot to him and the Michigan program. How bad is MSU this year by the way? My goodness. Talk about a team falling flat on their faces this season! Michigan S.T pre season was a dark horse to win the NC. They better get there act in order or they wont even go to a bowl game. Well maybe that's going a little to far, but you get the point.

5. I know most of you guys here in the south and on the east coast dont think they play football out west. But you guys better wake up! Oregon scored 43 points in what, 17 minutes to open the game? They called the dogs off to BTW. Chip Kelly could have scored a 100 if they really really wanted to. As of right now, I think this team will go undefeated and play in the NC game. Probably against a SEC team because even tho I think Kansas S.T should be #1 right now doesn't mean I think they will run the table. There schedule is too hard and at some point I think they will slip up. And we all know that there is no way they would let a one loss Kansas S.t team play in the NC game over a one loss SEC team. Doesn't make it right, but that's just the reality of things.

6. Is Dooley gone in Knoxville? I think now you have to call for the guys head. At some point you have to win a big game. I know beating Alabama isn't likely no matter who you are, but still, you have to start to win some games that matter. If he would have taken Alabama to the 4th quarter and lost a close game I think it would have been more acceptable. But getting blown out like you did and just being a 3 TD underdog in your own house is embarrassing. I thought the guy had potential. But hell, I thought Tommy Bowden had potential years ago.

7. Is Oregon S.T for real? They actually have a pretty winnable schedule down the stretch. Beating Oregon obviously is gonna be very difficult, but they do get them at home. I'm personally still not buying Oregon S.T. At some point there gonna have to score some points and win a game. I know there defense is playing good, but your gonna have to beat Oregon by scoring. You wont hold them down. I like Mike Riley and have always thought he was a very underrated coach. But my money says this team is about to crumble and fall.

8. How far has Auburn fell? Wow. Getting beat by Vandy is about the lowest of low's. Im still waiting on you Auburn fans to get in here an defend your great coach. That's all I heard for the longest time. Gene Chizk needs respect, He won the NC, BLAH...BLAH...BLAH. Look the guy isn't any good. Anybody could have went 14-0 with Cam Newton! But now just like last year, we are seeing the real Gene Chizik. You know, the one who has a losing record as a Head Coach! Yeah that guy! The same guy that just lost to Vandy yesterday and was blown out by Ole miss last week. Yeah, that guy! Good Coach, please.

9. A few things are apparent to me about the Big Ten this year. None of these teams are really any good. Yeah Ohio S.T is undefeated. But there not eligible nor are they really any good IMO. Where are the good teams? Wisconsin although lately they have been good, but really a big disappointment overall. Is Michigan your trophy team? Without question I think that this league overall has been a HUGE disappointment. Normally they get two BCS bids, I just dont see it this year. Could the Big East get Two? Maybe the ACC. Or should we just give the SEC all of them and get this over with. I know that's what EsecPN would like, but yeah...whatever.

10. This past week was pretty rough around here. This forum has changed alot in the past two years. I enjoy what I do but some times it can get exhausting dealing with all the garbage. I feel as if at times people question who I am and what I'm about. I'm gonna tell you guys something about me. I'm about all the right things in life. I'm about doing and treating others the way they should be treated. That's why I get offended when people question my integrity or attack me. I was raised the right way, and some of you know what I mean by that. College football is a big part of my life, but overall it ranks low down the list of priority's. I think this forum can get back to the way it use to, but some things and people need to change. I hope well all have a great week and I look forward to all of your comments. I especially thank all of you that supported me during a few bad days there where things were getting out of hand this past week. If your not having the season yo hoped for, keep you heads up.......The Best Is Yet To Come.                               




  

Couldn't agree more about the upcoming Notre Dame/OU game. Biggest home game in Norman since Nebraska came to town in 2000. They were selling tickets outside the stadium for this game before the Kansas game yesterday (as high as $400 for end zone tickets).  OU should have a serious edge in speed and quickness.......my main concern would be that Notre Dame is quite physical (not unlike Kansas State) but their offensive deficiencies should be their downfall. Keep doing what you do.......thick skin is the key.  Best of Luck!!

On statement number 1 . I agree that Kansas st shoulld be number 1 followed by oregon then alabama. Alabama is really good but not as good as last year.

 

statement 2  I was wrong bad in thinking that South Carolina was the best team in the S.E.C which I posted in on of my threads a couple weeks ago. South Carolina folded up like a cheap umbrella yesterday . They quit against florida and i.m not sure they will recover from it this year.

swtatement 3 It is a great assumption that Dolley is gone. Tennessee has a bifg ego and wont put up with mediocrity any longer. Look for them to go after Tubberville, Petrino or someone of that nature.

Statement 4. Auburn has fallen from greatnest to crappy in 2 years. Cam was worth every penny they paid for him.

Good write ups. Best of luck next week. Get ready to unload on boomer sooner this week. ND is a fraud.

Boom_boom posts the morning after....good stuff.

Look i could never understand why people complain one way or another about someone's oppions..........

Good luck this week 

My first read every Sunday morning. I like to view it as the Saturday games are fresh in my mind. Thanks for consistently taking your time to do the write up.

Boom,

 

You cant be serious about not having Bama #1  They would beat K state by 30 come on

 

 

Whoever thinks that Bama will loose this year is just tring to be different and will ultimately look like an idiot. They turn simple plays into 60 yard td's and they will shut you down whenever they want. Not one team  can stay within 10 points BOOK THAT

Oregon vs Oregon St should be a good game 

glad to see you back buddy.

1. I see where you are coming from on this point. How great would it be if we had the 4 team playoff this year. Maybe Bama, KSU Oregon and Florida. That would be can't miss TV.

3. totally agree, ND gets routed this week end of story.

4. This Oregon team is a well oiled machine and I think they win big in two weeks vs USC.

6. Ah Dooley. I supported you longer than most. You did a great job cleaning up an awful mess and even did well recruiting some great players to UT. But after a while you need to win. plain and simple. I thikn he needed 8 wins to buy himself another year or a win over Bama or Florida or UGA. But atlas, none of that will happen. It is time for Tenn to move on. There are a lot of good coaches out there to bring to Knoxville lets go get one.

8. The worse it gets in Auburn the more I appreicate what Cam did that year. Holy shit, to make Gene look that good that year, Cam must have been immaculate.

10. The best is yet to come, enough said

a few thoughts of my own for this coming week:

-Bama will absolutely destroy Miss St this Saturday.
-Kansas St will blow the fighting tubervilles out of the building.
-Georgia Florida will be ugly, maybe under is the play?
-The 1H over in the Oregon game should be money, I feel the 1H total is a spot where the books are stuck between a rock and hard place setting the line. Colorado cant stop anyone, Ducks should cover it easily.
-Also give me the over in the TCU/OSU game
-I'll be curious to see the line on the OSU/Washington game but my lean is Washington. That game last night was ugly.


cant wait for the lines to come out

Boom,   I'll be steady checking Bookmaker this afternoon to get on that Sooner band wagon.I seldom bet more than a unit on anything but this could be my exception. My account is healthy and it's just money to have fun with any way.  

Whats up Boom.

Great write up boom.

When it comes to talkin resumes, your right... Kstate is probably higher than 4, especially if they  if they win most of their games in what is a very tough schedule. It is clear that the top 4 right now are very interchangable, however I still give Bama the edge, I do think they would be beat Kstate and oregon and florida when it came down to the line.

No need to say anything about the big 10... Weve all been talking about it since earlier this season...it is truly shit this year. As for OSU, you mentioned Meyer is gonna take the program the right way which I completely agree with, but man this team has squeeked out some undeserving wins, and by very low margins. If they play a real football school, they'd probably get pumped, and this is the "highlight" of the big 10....ouch, whoevers in the rosebowl is in for it.

Agree with ND. The reason why they will probably lose next week is that they dont have an offensive glamour. Only thing that scares me is that they can play D, and thats a special x-factor they have that makes them win these ugly games. Im a ND fan in its respect for the game, but in Norman id take the Sooners up to -10 probably. Agree with you on going larger for that game.

Finally, im a defensive minded guy... We all know thats what wins. But a part of me inside would love to see the Ducks win it all. Your right, these guys packed it in at the half, and why wouldnt they. 43 points against a somewhat respectable az st club way before halftime. its incredible, and a part of me wants to see that exciting, incredibly fast offense take the NC, although I dont think itll happen.

Over the next 2-3 weeks were going to see some changes in the BCS, everyones starting to get the idea of whos gonna fade and unfortunately Kstate will have a loss that will put them out, but were going to see oregon/bama/florida left in the running....hell maybe oklahoma if they keep winning theyre really starting to find their form and they look good. BOL keep goin hard!

does calling someone a "fucking idiot" line up with this statement? Just over a difference of opinion. Yeah nice recovery statement, "servant"

Kansas S.T and Bill Snyder IMO, deserves that honor. You want to talk about accomplishments, lets do it then. Kansas S.T went TO Norman and won, they went TO West By God Virginia and won



Haha. You know how I know you like to hear yourself talk.?!
