Well, I know this. When I lived at Ft. Sill while in the Army, I came to realize that OSU just doesn't matter in your state. Maybe that's what you're always upset about, that football doesn't exist outside of Norman.
That's odd; I wasn't the first one to mention my team in this thread.Well, the le of the thread is SEC football 2009 and the only reason you're in here is because your team is starting to build some sort of football program and beat an SEC team. Talk about caviler, you're the one that comes off as a y know-it-all.
You know you don't have to come into this thread since it has zero to do with your team.
I guess you should stick to it, tho, as it shows you nothing about football outside of dixie.

UGA v USCAlright Symple, Chili and Brut,
My games this week that I'm interested in:
UGA v USC
I think the Dawgs will win, ok, I hope they will win. Cox will indeed start but I think Grey will play a few series. I also think Caleb King comes back this week to help in the running game. Look for this one to come down to a defensive play, which has been the case in the last few years. Hopefully improvement on the o-line and special teams. 14-7 UGA
UCLA v Tenn.
Very interesting game. We get a look at what the Kiffins will do against real compe ion. Will Crompton actually look as good as last week? Will the Vols be looking ahead to the UF game and lose concentration? I don't think they will. I think Tenn will actually put up good numbers again and win comfortably and get ready for Florida. 30-10 Tenn
Miss St v Auburn
Chizik is back in the SEC and ready to go. I admit I did not get to see either of these teams last week but both look like they started slow and then closed out their respective teams pretty well. Both teams are breaking in new coaching staffs and Miss St gets Dixon back this week. With a win Auburn could be looking at 4-0 and a great start, with a loss Miss St could be looking at 1-3. I think Auburn's defense shuts down Miss St in a low scoring game 17-7 Auburn.
Vandy v LSU
Vandy has improved its doormat standing over the last under Bobby Johnson and is no longer just a checkmark win. This will be a big test for them at Death Valley. Les Miles looks like he could have just rode the coattails of Saban's talent to a national le, because that D-fense has dropped leaps and bounds in the last two years. Washington put up way too many yards against them last week. I would love to call an upset here but I think the fact the game is in Death Valley tips the scales and LSU pulls away late. 34-20 LSU.
Any thoughts? I wish I had more time to do more research but I'm really just f-ing off at work
Go DAWGS!!!!!
I like Georgia in this one, 21-10. The USC defense is quite good, but is doomed to spend most of every game on the field until Spurrier can remember how to coach up the offense again. Dawgs ride emotion and a renewed emphasis on the run to a victory.
UCLA v Tenn
Don't know much about UCLA other than they beat SDSU by 19 last weekend. I did see some of the Tenn game and they looked better than I was expecting. Since this is at Neyland I'll go with the Vols by 10, 30-20. I'd like to add that Lane Kiffin makes me want to throw up every time I see him... What a bag.(Although I respect his father a lot, which begs the question: What happened to Lane?)
Miss St v Auburn
For obvious reasons, this game makes me nervous. Miss St. finally has a coach who knows what offense is. Dan Mullen was the offensive mind behind Urban Meyers undefeated teams. His team lacks the talent Auburn has, but AU will see a much better offensive scheme than they have in the past from the Bulldogs. This one will be a bit more of a score-fest than last years 3-2 affair. I'll go Auburn 28-14.
Vandy v LSU
Vandy is improving, I agree, but not enough to win in Baton Rouge. As for LSU and their performance last week, I tend to give a little more credit to Washington under Sarkisian than others have, meaning I think they're far better than advertised. Add in a long trip and a weird place to play for a bunch of southern kids and that's why that game was what it was. This is a night game and I think LSU will be ready. Vandy has a sop re QB and won't be able to run it like last week. I'll go 23-7 Tigers.
Have a good weekend! WDE
What does that even mean? Of course they were mentioned (in passing I might add) because they played an SEC team last weekend.
Football outside of Dixie?! Its not like UGA wasn't playing football 15 years before that dusty, flat craphole you call a state was even in the union. Got anymore nuggets of football knowledge we should know, all-knowing football guy? Are you done?

Looks like the rumor is actually reality

Georgia quarterback Joe Cox said Friday that he is attempting to play through an injured throwing shoulder.
SEC blog
Low ESPN.com's Chris Low writes about all things SEC in his conference blog.

"It's nerve problems caused by a muscle that protects my rotator cuff," Cox said. "One of the muscles that protects the rotator cuff has wasted away and that puts pressure on the rotator cuff."
Cox said he first felt pain this spring and that his lifting and throwing schedules have been altered.
Cox plans to start against South Carolina on Saturday. Sop re Logan Gray is ready to play if called upon.
"Most of my pain is away from football," Cox said. "At night when I sleep. Picking up a bookbag. Driving with my right hand."
Cox said he does not believe that the injury has affected his velocity. Doctors have told Cox it's unlikely he'll need surgery.
"It might not get better," Cox said. "I might have it forever. I might just have to manage it."
Cox is also recovering from the flu, which affected him last week. Cox said he has lost nine pounds and only regained his appe e on Wednesday.
"I got the IV before the last game," Cox said. "I wasn't breathing well. I was weak. But I'm feeling better now."
Georgia coaches are saying they believe that right now, Cox gives the team the best chance to win.

"Its Saturday in Athens"!!
They should bring back Stafford to play for UGA on Saturdays. He could travel back to Detroit or where ever after the game and be ready for his NFL games on Sunday.
Bama looked good
Pretty boring couple weeks until I think the big meet up with Ole Miss...
That game's in Oxford but I think Alabama pulls that one out. Bama looks too good and imo the best team in the sec.Bama looked good
Pretty boring couple weeks until I think the big meet up with Ole Miss...
I hope your right, I'd love to roady it to the Championship game.
UCLA is tied with Tennessee 10-10 in the 2nd quarter. Pac-10 > SEC
Dragons! I drank many a beer and stared at many a saggy boob in that hole. Most of the time it was filled with Marines(of course).
Really? E Washington is tied with Cal 7-7 in the first quarter. Big Sky > Pac-10
lol every team in the Pac-10 except USC and Cal
Oregon got the beat out of them by Boise State
MW>>>>> PAC 10
lol TLong going into a Texas forum and an SEC forum and acting like the Pac-10 is better than either the SEC or Big 12
lol anyone disagreeing with me.
Shouldn't lol at yourself sunshine.
So I guess by TLong's dumb ass logic, the MAC is better than the Big 10, considering Central Michigan beat Michigan State.
lol Tennessee. Good win UCLA!
Glad to see Kiffin lose as well.
Georgia is looking like a very likely win for Arkansas if they keep playing like this.
Garcia is awwwwful. That was a fun game to watch.
Auburn fans have to like what Gus is doing with the offense.
I think I had a heart attack during the UGA game. It looked eerily similar to last year's game against SC, except with a lot more scoring.
Auburn looked very, very good with the exception of a 10 minute stretch from the end of the first into the second quarter. Over 2 games the Tigers have rolled up over 1100 yards, most of which has come on the ground. Tate and McCalebb both rushed for over 100 yards again, the first time in Auburn history where two backs have rushed for over a hundred in back to back games. Impressive considering the great backs that have been on "The Plains". The defense played well except for the previously mentioned 10 minute stretch.
The offensive line is shaping up to be a dominant one. This could still end quickly with an injury, due to a lack of depth.
Special teams continues to be a problem, with the Bulldogs blocking and then running back a punt for a TD.
Chris Todd was unimpressive yet again (as far as I'm concerned) throwing the ball. 10/23 will not get it done against top notch opponents.
Kodi Burns scores 4 TDs (3 running, 1 passing) out of the wildcat offense.
Emergence of Darvin Adams at WR is encouraging. 5 catches for 116 yards, most on balls that were poorly thrown.
Antonio Coleman scores on a pick six. That's what the Tigers need from their defensive leader.
No turnovers on offense.
I continue to be cautiously optimistic about this team. TOP hasn't been a problem like I thought. Big play ability always seems just around the corner. Coaching staff seems dialed in concerning adjustments/playcalling.
However, special teams coverage/blocking MUST improve. Defense will have to get better. Pass coverage improved from last week, but the rush defense regressed. D is also still showing an ap ude for making a dumb penalty at the worst time. Chris Todd also took a step back concerning throwing the ball. Under 50% completion, and many that were completed were inaccurate or under-thrown.
All in all a good game that still leaves room for improvement. WVA will provide a better test, and one that will let me know a lot more about what this team is capable of. War Damn Eagle!
Couple more thoughts.
Tennessee looks to me like one of those teams with a jekyll/hyde persona. Might be good one week and then piss-poor the next. Props to UCLA and their defense however. Neuheisel knows what he's doing.
USC/UGA game must have caused palpitations for some of you guys(Romad/chili dog). Every time I looked over from the Auburn game the score was changing. uva offensive turnaround for both teams, but what does this say about the Georgia D? Looking forward to your comments.
LSU got it done. Glancing at the box score it seems the LSU defense decided it was indeed from the SEC. Offense looks to be a bigger problem for them going forward. They did have a nice day on the ground though, but through the air it was a different story. LSU had 148 passing to Vandy's 88. Yuck. Commodore D is stout, and since I didn't see any of it I really don't know why those numbers were so low.
Enjoy the NFL guys, and I look forward to your comments!
It did give me chest pains, for sure.
I'll have some comments soon, but it can't be til at least tomorrow. I'm about to go pregame for the Cowboys, and then I'm heading to Arkansas for a funeral right after the game. I'll be back in Dallas tomorrow evening and I'll leave some comments about it. Go Dawgs!
