SEC and Falcons Recap, World Series Prediction

SEC and Falcons Recap, World Series Prediction

Everyone knows the SEC is the biggest baddest conference in College Football and if you don’t like it suck on some stats:

                -The last 4 National Champions have come from the SEC (Florida, LSU, Florida, and Alabama)

                -The SEC has had the most players drafted into the NFL in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 and only twice since 1998 has the SEC not lead all conferences in players drafted.

                -8 coaches are in the top 20 of highest paid. You could argue that this doesn’t mean they are the best but you’re wrong. The BEST coaches want to coach in the BEST conference (outside of Texas, OK, and USC)

Like most of you I live for Saturdays. Nothing beats sitting around drinking some good ol fashioned American Brewhaha, armchair coaching like your Tom Landry, yelling to your wife “make me a pie woman”  and watching football.

Arkansas vs. Mississippi: I really could care less about this SEC game but I watched it since it’s either that or listen to Dike McGee over on the 4 letter network. “Hi it’s Pam Ward for the noon tilt between Purdue and Ohio State.” Pam Ward should only be doing WNBA and women’s Lacrosse games for obvious reasons. Arkansas is really pretty good. If they could ever improve their D they might make some noise. Mallett can chuck it and did so early leading to a 21-0 lead. Prisoner 245675A led a furious comeback but Ole Miss falls short 38-24.

Auburn vs. LSU: “The Tigers will win today.” Quote from my boy Verne Lundquist. Actually he’s not my boy at all and throws out these stupid little comments all game so he and Gary Danielson can play footsie with their back and forth commenting all game. Anyway, Cam Newton is in full on Beast Mode. The guy is 6’6 and weighs 250, and he’s a freaking QB. He’s clearly going to win the Heisman and he deserves it. He has ALREADY set the single season rushing record for a QB in the SEC in 8 games. That’s pretty decent. LSU is good and all but their offense is bad. How they can’t put together a good offense is beyond me. Russell Shepard if im not mistaken was a top 3 QB and they moved him to WR!?!?! Seems like a good idea. Regardless Auburn ran for like 3 miles so that’s never good when you’re trying to win a football game.  Les Miles is the luckiest bastard I know and it finally ran out on him. “Have a great Day Les”.

Georgia vs. Kentucky: I will be honest I didn’t watch all that much of this game since it was on the same time as the USC/Vandy game. Georgia basically beat the doodoo out of Kentucky like Carolina should have so I give them props on that. Georgia is slowly turning its season around and incredibly is still very much alive for the SEC east title.

Tenn vs. Alabama: “The third Saturday in October” was an absolute beat down in the 2^nd half. Tennessee is pretty awful and will get beat down again next weekend at Carolina. I still can’t figure out why Alabama is still ranked where they are. They should be ranked ahead of Boise and TCU. What a crock of shit.

Vandy vs. S.Carolina: I contemplated watching Pam Ward’s “Call me Lenny DIKEstra” documentary instead of this game. My God was it boring as hell. Outside of watching Steve Spurrier throw his visor a few times this was a total waste of my time.

Miss. State vs. UAB: What a doozy here. Again, the Pam Ward DVD was calling my name but I turned it down. By the way, Miss. State is now ranked for those of you who don’t know.

The Atlanta Falcons returned home after getting drilled by the Eagles last week in Philly. This was a big game as the Falcons could feel good about themselves being 5-2 going in their bye week with a win. I will say that they came out and played the best half of football I have seen a Falcon team play in a while. The offense was unstoppable, the defense was great and everything was running smoothly. What I like most is that when Cincinnati made that frenetic comeback in the 3^rd quarter the Falcons answered when they needed to. Roddy White is a baller. He doesn’t need to send T-shirts to get himself ready to open a can on the DB’s of Cincy. However a “Do Work Bro” T-shirt from Bro Nameth would have been sweet.

Quick World Series Prediction for you:

-Rangers in 6 with Cliff Lee being WS MVP going 2-0 with a 1.43 ERA

                -Josh Hamilton hits 2 dingers and Vlad Guerrero  hits over .300
