Official SEC Football 2009

[romad_20]

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!

I was actually pretty calm during the game, considering the craziness that had been going on the first part of the day, I just figured this one would follow the same pattern.

I got a bunch of homework today and I'm picking up a new truck tomorrow in Friendswood? so I probably won't get to gather my thoughts on such a crazy night in the SEC until late tomorrow. Really just a bizarro day in college football. I'll take the win!


Go Dawgs!

[Brutalis]

Been a tough bye week as a fan watching everyone else play. But I'm sure most of us watched that Georgia game.

Happy to see that Georgia defense bend to a poor Carolina offense in my opinion. Petrino and the offense ran a basic scheme against Mo. State last weekend and as everyone knows they have been preparing since Spring. They hope to open up the offense next Saturday, something they haven't done since BP has been here. Haven't had the cohesive bond and time to learn as a team until now hopefully.

From the sound of it if Georgia follows any game tape of Arkansas beating up on Mo. State they should not take it too seriously. I think the Hogs have been working on some things for this game as it is in no doubt the game of the year for us.

5-7 last year could have easily been 8-4

Squeaking out a win vs Auburn 25-22 started the turn around last year for the Hogs. The following weekend it was a kicker missing twice to lose to Kentucky 20-21, and a phantom PI call, then a phantom no PI call decided the 21-23 loss to . Later lost to MSU 28-31 in a heart breaker.

7-38 loss to Florida was close until late in the game the depth showed and the Gators piled on some points in the end. Beating LSU to finish it off was the best thing for recruiting that could have happened.

Well when Georgia comes to The Hill next weekend they will be facing a team that is ready and fired up for this game. I'm not going to get homer and call for a 28 point win but I would not be surprised if it came out 42-21 or 45-17 like in favor of the Hogs.

However the anticipation might be whats breaks the Razorbacks. Georgia will either beat the Hogs who are backed into a corner it seems, or be mauled by them. Also hope that there is no looming mental collapse because Arkansas has had the most luck against Georgia for whatever reasons. I say Nutt but got damn they always have had our number. Recently and even back when we were the powerhouse.

Anyways there will be twice as much emotion and tension during an SEC game than normal. Which was already pretty high. I don't believe this young Georgia squad will have the legs to keep up with Arkansas. Hope I am right.

Gus is doing wonders with Auburn. Props to them. LSU got it done against Vandy but I am still not sold on them. I just don't think they have the level of talent over there they have had in recent years. Arkansas has slammed the door in their face two years in a row.

What is the deal with Florida? Someone told me they play another cupcake next week, if that's true then wtf? I hope they get their ass handed to them this season by more than a fluke Ole Miss game.

NEXT WEEKEND is going to be THE !

Tenn @ Florida
Georgia @ Arkansas
Bama @ Piss

my watchers.

Hey any of you living in SEC states? The is up with this espn/sec deal? I only get one game on ESPNU, a game on ESPN and that's that. Two weeks in a row. Thought ALL the games were on?

[Texas Chili Dog]

It pains me to watch UGA play Arkansas because I love both teams. I'm still holding out hope I'll get up to Fayetteville for this one. Here's to a good one Brutalis.

Auburn running game hot, Crompton not
September 14, 2009 10:19 PM

Posted by ESPN.com's Chris Low

Who’s hot and who’s not in the SEC? It’s that time again to find out:

En Fuego

Auburn’s running game: Running the football at a high level is as much a part of the Auburn football program as the flight of the eagle prior to kickoff at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers have done it with the I-formation. They’ve done it with Bo Jackson, Joe Cribbs, James Brooks, Stephen Davis, Carnell Williams and Ronnie Brown. Now they’re doing it with Gus Malzahn’s version of the spread offense, which proves yet again that running the spread doesn’t necessarily mean you’re slinging the ball all over the ballpark. The Tigers have rushed for 300 yards in both of their games, with Ben Tate and Onterio McCalebb each topping 100 yards. It’s the first time in Auburn history that two players have rushed for 100 yards in back-to-back games. Running Back U. is alive and well.

Hot

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow: The Man of Steel is now up to 45 career rushing touchdowns, tying him for third place all-time in the SEC with Carnell Williams, and is just four away from tying Herschel Walker for the SEC career record.

Not

Mississippi State’s defense: Not only did the Bulldogs give up 589 yards of total offense in their 49-24 loss to Auburn, but they also didn’t make many adjustments to stop the bleeding. And that comes straight from their head coach.

Hot

Tennessee’s recruiting: The Vols got some sweet consolation from their disappointing loss to UCLA on Saturday when three ESPNU 150 prospects committed the next day – defensive line teammates Corey Miller and Brandon Willis of Duncan, S.C., and receiver/athlete DeMarco Cobbs of Tulsa, Okla.

Not

South Carolina’s special teams: For the second straight week, the Game s had their issues on special teams, giving up a kickoff return for a touchdown and having an extra point blocked against Georgia. It’s the reason they’re 1-1 right now and not 2-0.

Hot

The Gator Nation: They don’t want to just beat Lane Kiffin and the Vols. They want to punish them and make that punishment last over four long, steamy quarters. How many points will be enough? That’s hard to say, but something tells me the Gators aren’t practicing their kneel-down plays this week.

Not

Alabama receiver Julio Jones: He wasn’t a big factor in the opener against Virginia Tech and now has a bruised knee after getting hurt on the opening drive against Florida International. Jones has just five catches, and his longest reception has gone for 16 yards.

Hot

Georgia linebacker Rennie Curran: The guy is a tackling machine. He tied a career high with 15 tackles against South Carolina and saved the game for the Bulldogs in the final seconds by tipping away Stephen Garcia’s fourth-down pass at the goal line.

Not

Alabama’s kickoff coverage: At this rate, the Crimson Tide are going to give up more touchdowns on special teams than they do on defense. Two kickoff returns for touchdowns in two weeks? Man, I wouldn’t want to be on those units in practice this week.

Ice, Ice Baby

Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton: The Vols’ fifth-year senior quarterback has certainly been here before. After throwing five touchdown passes in the opener, Crompton reverted to his error-prone ways of a year ago in the 19-15 loss to UCLA. He made some inexplicable throws against the Bruins into coverage on plays where he had other guys running wide open. Against bona-fide defenses in game situations, Crompton simply hasn’t proven he can get it done. But he had help in stinking it up last week. The Vols didn’t do a whole lot up front offensively, and Lane Kiffin’s play-calling in the final minutes down near the goal line was about as unimaginative as it gets. Here’s the really scary part for the Vols: They will play against at least six defenses the rest of the way that are as good, if not better, than UCLA’s.

Doesn't the term, "Gator Nation", make you throw up a little bit in your mouth like it does me? Anything before the word nation in reference to sports is played out. Come up with something new...Please.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

^yes

but yankee and red sox nation are on a different level of repulsiveness

http://rivals.yahoo.com/arkansas/foo...-Frazier-79416 Here ya go Brutalis, regarding AU recruiting in your state. This kid is a junior (QB) and has already been offered. Auburn has offered another junior QB named Jeff Driskel. http://rivals.yahoo.com/floridastate...-Driskel-95229 Very interesting that AU is going after kids this early. Is this something that your guys schools are doing?

[symple19]

Check the Auburn locker room. Big time! Love how they did the Heisman displays. WDE!

Yeah there's rumors BP is checking out younger players. I have no info about it though. That video was interesting, BP did the same here. He got the latest and greatest turf for our new field. Georgia will be the first ever game on it. Lot's of new stuff. BP wants to show off to these kids having the facilities to back it up I suppose. I don't care if it's putting a pink hog on the butt of our pants on our uni's,- if it lands recruits it's worth it. (lol)

It pains me to watch UGA play Arkansas because I love both teams. I'm still holding out hope I'll get up to Fayetteville for this one. Here's to a good one Brutalis.

Man I am thrilled. I have never been so up on a football game in my life. Only 24 but still..

You guys will be the first to play on the new turf in Fayetteville. This game is also ESPN's showcase game Saturday night! High five biotch! The SEC is pwning national tv. As if we didn't already have the best players.

44-27 Arkansas. I will be here within 24 hours of the game regardless if we happen to get our ass handed to us.

There is more meaning to this game for Arkansas since they joined the SEC and began their reign of bad coaches and average teams. The players are excited as in interviews and seem like they have had the game plan set this week and are confident.

Georgia's OLine is weak and our defense needs to step up from last years experience. Offensively for the Hogs we have to do what we know we can do and that's ing score. Tired of hearing about it, it's time to see it. If Georgia puts 7-8 in the box they are getting blown out. If they blitz the middle and don't get to Mallett it will be a 30 yard pass every time.

So my questions entering this game are..

Will Mallett prove why he is on all the awards watch list?
Can our guys block and let us open up the field with the pass and run?
Defense under 20 points?

Yes yes yes = big blow out. Georgia is hurting and from what I have read, heard, and seen they are all in a questioning stage wondering who is going to step up and have been hit hard with injuries. (as several of us have)

BP has been preaching confidence and expecting the best out of your teammate beside you. In week one when these guys did the tradition walk to the stadium from the bus they were clean and focused. Nothing like the s and giggles from Nuttboy. These guys compete daily to out-do each other BP has done a great job getting talent and forming chemistry thus far.

Huge expectations. ESPN knows that. Hopefully they get a win on the big stage.

[Brutalis]

Where you people at?

Hear UGA got their running back healthy and ready to go Saturday night. He was like 4th rated recruit in the nation a couple years ago and has the spotlight now KM is gone. That should help the run game. As they will probably use it a lot to try and hit play action to that awesome receiver they got.

Mark was on Bo Mattingly's show yesterday and said everything right. He is one of those guys that you listen to when he talks and by the time it was over I knew why Georgia had been so good under his command.

He spoke a little about how Petrino has done a great job so far and he expects a tough game. Gave us praise for our young talented receiving core and hinted that Petrino has some and can get talent. Bo told him how he is the dean of the SEC now being the longest tenured coach so far. Not much else.. the middle of the week before a game what could we expect?

Did BP talk to Georgia? I doubt it.. but I still wondered.

[Brutalis]

Well Arkansas is prepared. I'm looking forward to that Vandy/MSU matchup. NOT.

[symple19]

Brut, are ya ready? LOL, I can tell you're hyped. Unfortunately, the AU game is on at the same time, but I'll be on here discussing developments as the games wear on. Will definitely be flipping over during commercials to check out your game.

Here are some thoughts on SEC matchups

Auburn-WVU --- Weather could be rainy and that will probably work in Auburns favor. WVU is a balanced team that throws the ball much better this year than in years past. They have a young O-line and big receivers. Auburn should be able to win the battle in the trenches and that's why I like the Tigers to win. 40-28

Louisville-Kentucky --- Haven't seen these two teams at all. I picked the Cards but after looking at the numbers, I'm thinking I should have picked the Cats. Oh well. UL 28 UK 21

Tenn-Fla --- After all the Kiffin smack, the only question is how many will Florida win by? A lot. UT 10 UF 45

Vandy-Miss St --- Miss St is improving, but I think the Vols are a bit better. Vandy can run it, and Auburn gave them a blueprint. Vandy 24 Miss St 17

Arky-UGA --- I picked Arkansas based on what I've seen from Georgia the past few weeks. Not too sure why, just a hunch. UA 30 UGA 24

[Texas Chili Dog]

I love Arkie, but I have to choose a side... GO JAWJA!

Arky-UGA --- I picked Arkansas based on what I've seen from Georgia the past few weeks. Not too sure why, just a hunch. UA 30 UGA 24

Picking games and predicting games are two different things to me. So I'll give mine..

UF 58 UT 16 - yeah I said fifty ing eight if not more. (i hope) a lot of hog fans hate tenn cause of the fumble in 98 but i respected them till kiffin came along.

UK 28 UL 13 - UL has went back to the basement. kentucky has always fed off of leftover recruits. i really don't know/care who would win this game.

Vandy 34 MSU 21 - i forgot his name already but the vandy coach is doing a lot with a little. lsu took over in the fourth last week but vandy played them good.

UA 38 UGA 24 - i keep changing it as the game gets closer. have no idea what to expect. i have heard georgia fans say the same weary of what good the hogs offense is. guess we'll see.

AU 34 WV 24 - gus will put points on the board and it's up to the mountain hicks to keep up.

I love Arkie, but I have to choose a side... GO JAWJA!

Whatever happens here's to a good game and not being typical asshole fans.

[Brutalis]

Arky-UGA

Man don't call us Arky. I am a sissy little girl about it. Makes me think of Les Miles running his mouth again and again. And you know what LSU/UA think of each other. Lol.

[Texas Chili Dog]

absolutely! I'm glad it's on ESPN so I've had the chance to watch all three UGA games this season on TV even though I'm in Dallas. Hope it keeps going!

I notice you didn't say anything to me about saying that. Is it because I used "ie" rather than "y"?


woo pig sooie

I didn't notice.

jon crompton sucks

[Ghazi]

Very nice gameplan for Tennessee just not enough offensive firepower at the end of the day.

Florida looks mortal though, @ LSU upset?!

Very mortal. UT showed up. Gives hope to everyone that plays Florida. Either that or they were just flat after playing those scrubs to open the season

[Stump]

Ouch. Very bad start to the Auburn game.

[symple19]

Ouch. Very bad start to the Auburn game.

Yeah it was. I was almost ready to jump out the window. Todd makes me nervous as . Hopefully the AU offense can run a little clock in the second half to give the D a break. WVU is very good in the skill positions and I find myself holding my breath every time Devine touches the Ball. Gonna be a close game I think. Need to run the ball better too

[Texas Chili Dog]

ok now I'm settling in to the Auburn game. I'm worn out after watching UGA.
