SEC
 

Just wanted to make a thread where I could talk about how badass this conference is.

Kentucky just took Kent St. to the woodshed 56-20.

South Carolina, or should I say Team Spurrier, just beat a Dawgs squad that looks like they're coached by Dr. Heimlich.

Mississippi got dusted at home by Missouri. No surprise since they are the doormat.

Florida is dusting Troy St.

LSU is currently working on dusting Virginia Tech.

And the greatest football program of all time...The Alabama Crimson Tide, dominated Vandy.

boy you can tell a difference!! the o-line is playing some serious football! the 2 rbs doing all the damage, shula wouldn't even play last year.
ROLL TIDE !!

Hey 24-3 is pretty dominant. The last TD was during junk time.

Looks like it's going to be a good season.

Roll Tide!

Yes, And Tommy Tuberville Is A F%%%%%%%% Loser Mo Fo!!!!

Tubby's lost a lot of weight...

Didn't help Auburn tonight, though. LOL

how 'bout them tigers?!?! looked great against vatech.

yeh, cost me a straight up 3 teamer!

Auburn gets beat by So. Florida and Georgia loses to the Ol' Ball Coach?
Six undefeated teams, and 6 that are already lookin for next year!
Suck Egg Conference to me!:p

Go Bulls
 

If USF had a Division 1 kicker, that game shouldn't/wouldn't have even gone to overtime. 3 consecutive misses in the 3rd quarter alone....sheesh.

Auburn is going to lose a lot of games with that offense.

your right Bigs, that game should have been 10pts or more. the barner o-line can run block but can't pass protect a lick, that qb will never make it through the year with the beating he's taken.
nice job by your bulls ! mike ford doesn't look to bad.

I bet Tuberville is regretting scheduling that one. 5yrs or so ago, a game against USF probably looked like a nice tune up for the SEC season....oops.


Next up for the Bulls, GPK's Tar Heels.....

Pillow,

I agree with you about the SEC, but what in the hell happened to AUBURN?

Bragging about wins over the likes of Kent St and Troy St are not the things I would be talkng when discusssing how good the SEC is.

The Chickens will get put in their place as soon as the Tigers come to town...

The rest of you post isn't half bad, except for the "greatest football program" thing....but I agree, 'Bama is one hell of a program...

The above is pretty funny stuff, Timm...

Let's see, there were three in conference losses so far:

Mississippi State lost to LSU in week 1, Georgia lost to South Carolina and Vandy lost to Bama (in week 2.) Three teams had to lose there because we all know you can't have two winners. :p The three losses OUT of conference were Tennessee to California in week 1, Auburn to South Florida and Ole Miss to Missouri (in week 2.) While I don't particularly care for Auburn, Ole Miss or Tennessee, I still want the SEC to win all of their out of conference games, so it's disappointing. I still believe they're the best conference in the land, though. :D

Not recently... it oughtta be interesting to see what happens there. I love that game... such a great rivalry. Should be a good game, although not as good as the one where we get to watch Nick Saban cry like a baby when LSU destroys the Tide. :)

Saban's first year objectives
 

1. Win games you are supposed to win with Mike Shula's recruits.

2. Beat Auburn

3. Don't get embarassed by LSU

Nick Saban is too professional to not understand that he will not beat LSU with current talent. In 2009, when LSU returns to Tuscalossa, LSU should be afraid, be very afraid. Because all of Saban's talent will have departed LSU and all of the skill positions of Crimson Tide will be HIS recruits.

but i think miles recruiting, with the strength of a top notch program behind him, will more than match up to sabans skills at getting players. les has certainly shown that he and his staff can get the guys. man that team is deep right now. and don't forget, when saban was at lsu, the school was the big fish in a small pond. alabama is a big fish in a big pond populated by other big fish.

Kentucky beat Clemson last year. HAHA!

This is Les Miles' last year at LSU. He'll be Michigan's head coach next year.

Bama's got skill people! Grant and Coffee are doin the damage from the RB spot and shula wouldn't play them last year. shula didn't recruit linemen! IF Bama lineman start to go down, on either side of the ball, the season will go up in FLAMES FAST! they are thin and under-sized at LB too. i said 7-5, 8-4 at best, this year.

les miles will be gone from lsu after this season to take the michigan job. when he leaves Saban will rule the gulf coast in recruiting. shula GAVE AWAY Mobile and that was Saban's first trip after he accepted the job.
the SEC should be very afraid. ROLL TIDE !

i hope the speculation about miles is wrong...but we'll see. lsu is a damn good program, but michigan is special to him.

sigh

miles was a michigan lineman and played for coach bo.

yeah, i know...an asst coach there as well. lsu bound to be special to him too, tho....right??
can't help wondering if he'd go if they do what they're projected to do--how DOES one walk away from a national title winner (if indeed they win it this year)?

lsu is just a stop along the way. he was only 3-4 years at okie st before baton rouge. he goes back to michigan, wins and is king for life.
lsu jrs & srs are still saban's players, most of miles guys aren't making an impact yet.

That would be the American Football conference I believe

Money talks & BS walks!
 

Disclaimer: although I live in Louisiana, I am NOT LSU fan. As much as it currently hurts, I am Ole Miss fan.

LSU is top 5 program. Why? They pay the BIG BUCKS to their head coach and assistant coaches. Before LSU supporters put real money out, they were merely giving lip service to being bigtime program. Saban brought credibility, class, discipline and structure into football rich region. And he delivered national championship. He cashed his chips in short NFL stay and has returned to his true calling.

I agree with earlier poster than 'Bama has talent -- just too little talent. Once Saban machine recruits two classes, watch out SEC & BCS!

Les Miles is interesting subject. He was OK at Okie State, but didn't set world on fire there. His Michigan roots might come calling. But, money talks & BS walks! Big Two (officially known as Big Ten) does not generate enough revenue to compete with SEC, Big 12, ACC, and even Pac 10 for best coaches. Les can play his hand out at LSU and then head north.

SEC will continue as NUMBER ONE football conference.

An unbiased opinion is that the SEC is probably not as good as you may have thought it is from top to bottom though LSU looks like a superior team. Tennessee, Georgia, Auburn, Miss st., Ol Miss, Vandy are all flawed teams that are very ordinary especially in light of previous sucess. S. Carolina, Ark, and FL are still in the air, Alabama looks better and KY is pretty good. Outside of LSU this may be a down year for the SEC.

Auburn has a bad QB and was simply outrun to the ball on many occasions by a decent S. FL team. Georgia has been masquerading as a top 25 team for 2 years but they have no offense. Miis St stinks, Vandy was never in it yesterday (though Alabama may be much improved) Ol Miss is not very good, Tennessee struggled with a very mediocre S.Miss team before adding a late gimme TD. I keep hearing about how many players that FL lost and its hard to judge from the 2 spring training games they have played so far but I believe they are dangerous and may be the only team to give LSU a run. KY will beat Louisville this week unless the Cards start tackling people.

The fact is that as coaches learn that big is not better and that speed is the #1 factor to success, the smaller teams will turn to spread offenses and recruit unpolished players that can run. The entire upper echlon of Big East has done this and it is how teams like Louisville and Rutgers became top 20 teams seemingly overnight. Plus the added exposure that the smaller conferences have now that virtually every game is on tv somewhere allows the 2nd tier prospect to go somewhere where they will play because they know they will get exposure. The truth is that only a few teams like USC and LSU have both speed and power. Watching a Michigan the last 2 weeks and in the Rose Bowl it is readily apparent that they just lack the team speed to be really good. I dont know if any team has as many individual talents at skill postions as they do but they cant overpower teams with their big lines anymore. I guess what I am saying is that parity is coming to the college game like it did to the NFL and the power conferences are not going to just waltz in and dominate all the time. Of course the unwanted side effect is teams deciding to schedule division III non conference games as to avoid an early season loss.

I dont know what brought that on....

i don't know either, but it's very good. making up for being gone a few days? altho the sec has been a top notch conference, they can't be the top dog every year. no conference can, and we all know that there are ups and downs.

but truly, only two teams get much attention from me in the sec. lsu, and i cheer on whoever plays arkansas.

Saban almost won game with Shula's talent and did not get embarassed by LSU. Auburn ahead for successful season...

i think saban and co will handle tuberville and the other tigers.

maybe tubby hears the red-elephants stirring. look for him to hightail it to Tam.

one thing i'll bet for sure, the barners won't run over Bama in the 1st qter the way they have the last couple years.

'
yeah, i hear talk that several vacancies in the sec are in the offing...tuberville bailing would'nt surprise me in the least, especially when they wanted to dump tommy a few years ago.

i expect the tide will win this match up.
