UT loves Freddie Kitchens. I am glad to see he is doing so well.

Can you believe they actually give the phone numbers and personal email on the North Texas website? I don't think that would fly in the SEC.

Did you watch Miami play this weekend Dunadan? We know that Texas will blow it at some point. OU doesn't have the running game to finish the job. I don't know if we're better than advertised or if OU is worse, but OU looks beatable.
dayhiker

Well, don't count out the Sooners, just yet. They should get better as the season progresses.
I hate to say this, but I don't think Florida showed up for the Miami game. Therefore, I don't think Miami got the test that Oklahoma got.
Hey, Violin! The Jayhawks want to know if Rutgers already has a patent on that "Wounded Amoebas" name.

dayhiker I was so hoping the SEC could add another W to their non-conference schedule. But OU is terrible. After watching several of the scoring highlights, neither team had a sustained drive and every score was the result of major mistakes and/or busted plays. Everybody has mentioned OU offensive woes but even the defensive line looked way too porous to compete for a National Title.

There is a team whose fight song is "Lyra, Lyra, pants on Fyra!".

Actually, Bama did have some sustained drives in the 2nd half. I do think that they were suprised at the strength of our offensive line.

ohmigosh, that's the best fight song ever! hownever, although i do appreciate the "liar" pronunciation, i prefer the one that sounds like "lyric." as in "Lyra, Lyra, kick 'em in the rear-a!" LOL, i'm so lame... but this IS a football thread, so when in Rome...

Let's face it, Bama is coming back in a big way. I don't sell them short, why are all of you SEC folks doing that? With Fran at the helm, there is good things in store for the Crimson Tide. I think they gave OU real trouble for a reason. They have a good team that was fired up.
Florida probably has a good team, but I don't think they were pumped for Miami, at least enough to stick with it when their balloon got punctured.
Here's how deluded I am. I think Texas will be very strong this year. It's too bad they have to play the Sooners in the regular season.
I'm sticking with the Big 12. You SEC types are just too afraid of Miami.
Dunadan

Dayhiker, I stand corrected 1 sustained drive for 66 yds with 12 plays. 10 of which were on the ground.

Dunadan you can't tell me a team that give up 70 pts in 2 games against bad offensive teams is going to be a dominant force in the SEC.

Well, just run and hide before you have to play them. They are so big and scary.
I'll bet the Razorbacks wouldn't be scared of Miami.
Dunadan

I think we had more drives than that. We scored 21 points in the second half. 7 came on a blocked punt. 7 came on a short drive of about 45 yards. 7 came on a decent drive. We also had a really nice drive where we scored, but had holding. We wound up missing a 22 yard field goal. We actually moved the ball fairly well.

As a side note: Oklahoma is currently in negotiations to buy out next years game in Tuscaloosa. We must have really spooked them.

I see things through Crimson glasses, but I feel Bama will surprise people this year. Before the season started I predicted 10-3. I still feel that way.

Bad offensive teams? MTSU was 5th in the nation last year. You're seeing everything through an orange haze. Bams will beat UT in Knoxville this year. You heard it here first.

Tell you what. Now that I know that all of you that picked Bammy over Okie are gonna keep me good and drunk, here is my proposal.
If the Big 12 fails to produce the national football champion this season, I will keep the haiku thread current for one month straight.
Top that!!!!

Who did MTSU play last year besides LSU and Ole Miss. The sunbelt is not exactly a football conference.

That's true, but I believe that RB of theirs put 100 yds on each of those teams. We held him to around 40. Our defense will definately not remind anyone of the 92 group, but we're improving. Most of OU's first half offense came on 3 plays against the same DB. He was benched and I don't recall OU getting any more deep balls. They really only had 2 plays in the second half. Unfortunately, that was enough.

Bama won't beat the Vols.

Remember what happened in '85 when Miami was supposed to beat the snot out of UT in the Sugar Bowl????

I'm choosing to remember the 90 UA-UT game at Knoxville. The one where Lee Corso came out and said that there was no way that high school team can beat UT.

I'm certainly not going to predict a UT win yet. UT's question for the season is who and how many are we going to get injured in the stretch between Florida and Georgia. But I will say that we will play a BCS bowl game.

Let me get this straight, Arc. You want me to keep the haiku thread going for three months?
I say, at this point in this YOUNG season, that Tennessee looks like the flagship team for the SEC. Why isn't Chili predicting national championship? No guts?
Heck, the deluded Dayhiker has already stuck his neck out and predicted a win IN KNOXVILLE. I guess he has become the new and improved Arc.

Top Ten Reasons why the OSU Buckeyes will be #1

10. Most of our players are from Ohio, the breadbasket and birthplace of FOOTBALL.

9. Jim Tressel

8. Our cheerleaders are much hotter than SEC or Big 12 cheerleaders.

7. Only 15% of our players are criminals, as opposed to FSU at 90%, Florida at 50%, etc.

6. Competition. Everyone knows the Big Ten is the Best Division.

5. Mo Clarrett

4. Steve Bellasorry is a distant nightmare (BTW, I'll take fries with that Steve, and hurry up b!tch, I don't want my burger to get cold)

3. When we beat perennially overrated Michigan, we'll jump up a few spots.

2. SEC, PAC-10 & Big 12 teams - overrated.

1. When daddy puts a hurtin' on ya, we don't send daddy to jail here, instead, on his helment we shall place.....

Thanks Dunadan. I think you just said that I'm like arc, but with balls!

Big-11 cheerleaders are hotter than SEC cheerleaders? After how many drinks?

Only the Northern media knows that the Big-11 is the best league. The rest of us think yall are pansies.
dayhiker

BB, no one, and I mean no one, in the rest of the nation can take a conference that can't count to eleven seriously. Get real.
By the way, I think Dayhiker has a point about the cheerleaders. I love the Midwest, but them Southern girls are....well, just watch some games on TV and you will see what I mean.
Of course, we have the Texas girls in our conference, and they ain't got no flys on them, neither.

"Why isn't Chili predicting national championship?"

Well, gee, I don't know,,,,maybe it's because we will have play teams like Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, and probably LSU.

Here is a taste of SEC reality for you.
Florida has not recruited the kind of players needed to stay at the top of the national picture for the last few years. It has been catching up with them.
Miami comes to town and whips the pants off of them and the rest of the conference is ready to bow at their feet.
What's not to understand?
Dunadan
5:36:38 PM
9/11/02

Obviously you don't appreciate the grit of the Vols, the Dawgs, the Tigers, the Tide or heck for that matter, I don't think you appreciate the grit of the Commodores (not the group you listened to in your younger years).

Nobody is ready to lay down at Miami's feet......

My daddy taught me something when I was a kid....

He said "Son, it's not the barking dogs you need to be worried about, a barking dog doesn't have a lot of time to bite. Now a dog laying in the tall grass, snarling and growling at you,,,,that's the kind of dog that bites".


I hear alot of teams growling in the SEC. I don't see much other than barking dogs in other conferences.

Chili, I didn't know that Prairie View A&M was in the SEC. You definately have a shot (if it wasn't for the Buckeyes) at the national championship. You guys should certainly win the SEC. Don't be so hard on yourself bro!
