THAT'S fuckING HILLARIOUS!!

Yeah, it was bad with this other center (I don't remember the guy's name). There were a bunch of sacks, and I'm surprised Cox didn't get hurt worse with that bad knee. He wore a brace during the game.

There was some miscommunication at the line, and a couple of bad snaps. Auburn just wasn't playing the same, and there isn't too much of an excuse about the score. I haven't even watched any post game comments by Tubberville yet, don't know if I want to see it. If my girlfriend makes one more damned smart ass remark about the game, that DS is going the way of EB for Wii credit.
 
Well, Auburn plays Florida tomorrow. The old #2 plays the new #2. Should be a great game. I really hope Auburn grows a pair and plays Auburn football. What sucks is that Irons, Cox, and Cope are still hurt. This game could get ugly. I think Auburn can win if they bring their A game. Hopefully they will.
 
WAR DAMN EAGLE!

I can't talk I screamed so much at the game. Wow. What a great game! Auburn's D really stepped it up in the 2nd half. There are still some questions on offense, zero touchdowns, but we drove up and down the field when we needed to. But it doesn't matter now! We're back up there now!

And, there are now NO undefeated teams in the SEC. I think this reinforces Tuberville's idea that an SEC team will probably never win a BCS championship because it's close to impossible to go undefeated in the SEC. That's the price you pay when you play in the greatest conference in the land!
 
[quote name='gofishn']Fantastic game! I love watching UF lose. I do think the SEC folks need to get over themselves though.[/QUOTE]

Why, because what we say is true?
 
You play each other and lose and say it's because you're all so great. Case in point - last year everybody said West Virginia didn't deserve to be in a bowl game and Georgia, of the mighty SEC would blow them out. End result - 2005 Sugar Bowl: West Virginia 38 - Georgia 35.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']What does War Eagle mean anyway?[/QUOTE]

War Eagle is really a battle cry. I think someone said that a long time ago Auburn was playing either Georgia or Alabama and an Eagle came into the stadium when Auburn was down. When that happened the team got pumped up and came from behind and one.

Our Mascot is the tiger, but we say, "War Eagle" to each other. Also, one of the greatest pre-game events takes place in our stadium when a Bald Eagle flies around our stadium.

I don't know if I answered your question or not, but I think I can sum it up with it's not a mascot, but kind of is, but is really just meant for us to yell to get each other fired up.
 
I don't want you to think that I feel the SEC isn't the most solid conference in the NCAA, because it clearly is. I'm just trying to say that their are other elite teams out there that could wipe the floor with the best the SEC currently has to offer.

And no, FSU is not one of those elite teams...this year.

While that is true, that doesn't change the point. From top to bottom the SEC has the toughest conference. I don't think anyone can argue that. Take Florida. The played 4 teams in Conference that were ranked in the top #10 at one time or another (Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Auburn). Who else has to do that? Add in that they play teams like South Carolina and Alabama, you can see my point.

And anyone who actually watched WVU/Georgia game would never call it a blowout. Are you retarded? When was the last time 3 points made a blow out? WVU certainly blew them out in the 1st quarter, but UGA blew them out the next 3. WVU is a great. They struggled against MSU last weekend. They would not go undefeated in the SEC. You know that.

But that's not the point. I'm not saying the best team is the SEC. That's Ohio State. But the best group of teams in one place is the SEC.

Read a little closer. He said other people said it would be a blowout before the game, but it wasn't. ;)

The tough conference is the downfall of most of the teams in the SEC to have a chance at the NCAA championship.

I appreciate you pointing that out. Again, I'm not saying that the SEC isn't the overall toughest conference in NCAA football. I'm just not buying Tuberville's argument that an SEC team can never win the national championship because the conference is too touch. While that does make it more difficult, I have no doubt in my mind that a team of Ohio State's caliber would romp through the SEC. SEC teams have won many national championships in the past, so I fail to see how his argument holds water. Hell, Munch, your own Auburn, although they were robbed by the media, made it through the SEC unscathed a couple years ago and clearly deserved to play in the national championship instead of Oklahoma!

Munch, please take note that I'm not trying to argue with you. I just think that if an SEC team feels they deserve to play in the national championship, they better be damn good, a.k.a. 2006 Ohio State good.

EDIT: Just saw your apology, I appreciate it! Thanks for humbling those folks down in Gainesville too!

Yeah, again my bad. I hope you accept my apology. I didn't read it right.

Tuberville isn't saying that the SEC would be guaranteed to win. He's saying that the only way they'd get a chance to win is if there's a playoff system, which certaily is valid in today's system where you pretty much have to undefeated to go the big game.

It's cool. I'm fired up right now myself just seeing UF lose. They have some of the most arrogant fans and alumni I've ever seen. Someone once said they have the arrogance of Notre Dame with the tradition of Wake Forest. Hell, they refer to themselves as the "Harvard of the south." Who are they kidding? I'm in law school at FSU and I'd say a good 50% of the students here are UF alumni. You don't know how many times I've heard them say that they will win national championships in football and baseball to go with their damn basketball championship this year. They talk up Tim Tebow like he'll win 6 Heismans. I'm still waiting on the 4 they promised me Leak would get, hell I'm still waiting for Brock Berlin to pick up his Heismans for UF! Anyway, I'm pulling for Auburn to win the SEC because I can't stand UF, UGA, or UT. Go Tigers!

UF fans were pretty bad today. In the student section they were talking all kinds of shit. After the blocked punt when Auburn went up, they became crybabies (I say they, it was really one guy. But I like to genearlize and stereotype). He kept on saying that we needed to stop talking shit. We apologized and said we'd stop (which we did). He then came back over and talked shit! Then he got mad because we were telling him to shut up. Weird, weird, weird.

And 'Harvard of the South'? :rofl:
 
Well, BCS rankings came out for the first time today. Here's how the top five stand:

1) Ohio State
2) USC
3) Michigan
4) Auburn
5) West Virginia

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/BCSStandings

Should be interesting to see what happens since we know one of the top three are going to lose by season's end. And the way Auburn and USC have been playing, they might drop too (Hopefully not Auburn, though :)). Add in that WVU has a chance to get beat by Lousville, we might be seeing a crazy 2006 season.
 
Anyone with a conference championship game (the SEC in particular) is at a disadvantage because they get downgraded by the BCS if they play the same team again. If you're not going to require every conference to have a championship, then you need to eliminate the penalty given to teams that have to play the same team twice. Personally, I want to see the Pac-10 and Big-11 have championship games, because it eliminates the 'You weren't the best because you didn't play us' BS arguements that teams like Iowa have had.

And WVU is the most overrated team by far. Why? Check the schedule. Marshall (C-USA) 1-5
Eastern Washington (Big Sky - I-AA) 2-5
Maryland (ACC) 4-2
East Carolina (C-USA) 2-4
Mississippi State (SEC) 2-5
Syracuse (Big east) 3-4
UConn (Big east) 3-3
Louisville (Big east) 6-0
Cincinnati (Big east) 3-4
Pitt (Big east) 6-1
S Florida (Big east) 5-2
Rutgers (Big east) 6-0

Five whole teams on their schedule have winning records up to this point. They beat up on the dregs of other conferences (Marshall, ECU, EWU) and they expect us to take their perfect record seriously. Come on. I really do hope the voters take a close look at who they've beaten if they do end up going undefeated. They would have beaten three decent teams the whole year.


And don't even get on me about my team. We sucked hard this weekend. All my sports teams this year have sucked it up big time. Good win for Auburn.
 
Yeah, I've wondered what's been going on with UGA this year. It sucks that they lost to Vandy. This years Auburn/UGA games is still going to be awesome, though. It's always crazy when those two teams play.
 
Wake Forest and Rutgers are ranked. That sound you hear is hell freezing over. :lol:

Kidding aside, it's nice to see new blood in the top 25.
 
Yeah. The BCS rankings were in may ways shocking. I couldn't believe Auburn was that high. And I would put Michigan ahead of USC at this point.
 
[quote name='GuilewasNK']The NCAA needs to have a damn playoff for the national title. There isn't any good reason not to have one.[/QUOTE]

Sure there is. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

That's all they care about. It's the same reason why we have Conference championship games. One more game, a lot more hype, and a whole lot more money.

Yep.

The thing is that they can still make money on bowl games being part of the playoff format. They can still have bowl games for thos not in the title playoffs.
 
I just watched the Miami-FIU brawl. Miami REALLY needs to get their shit together. They said they have been involved in brawls in 3 of the last 7 games and almost started another one against Louisville. It was was nothing but plain thuggery out there.

Tuberville got blasted in the blogs and articles about calling for a playoff system before the Arkansas game. I'm GLAD he's saying someting about it again.. and honestly, he can say it because he's in a position to. The NCAA will NEVER give up the bowl system.. too much money goes to the NCAA and the schools to let it go. I'm sorry, but there is such a thing as a better team with one loss than one that is undefeated. It's absolutely sad that corporate sponsorship and money have taken such a strong hold onto the sport that teams do not have the right to compete on the level they deserve to. Tuberville is right.. you won't see an SEC national champion, until the system is fixed. The conference is way too competitive, and a great deal of talent is spread around all of the schools. Of course it isn't like that in the case of something like the PAC 10, where USC gets a shitload of money and star power to lure in kids. I'm glad that Tuberville is speaking out finally (he should've done this more in 2004), and hopefully more SEC coaches will follow suit. Besides, how many pollsters actually see SEC games? Aren't most of them concentrated on the East and West coasts?


In other matters, I couldn't believe the game. I was shitfaced by 3rd quarter, throat hoarse from screaming.. but I can't believe that the BCS gave Auburn the #4 slot. I was thinking maybe #7, but damn. As Tuberville said though.. it'll probably be an outside looking in situation. Either Michigan or Ohio State will lose, and it'll take a few upsets to keep Auburn up in the top and move them ahead. Hell, if Arkansas loses, it'll likely be a rematch of Auburn & Florida for the SEC title game.
 
[quote name='T234']CocheseUGA, you think your team was terrible? 49-0 :(((((((((((((((([/QUOTE]


You'll have to fill us (or at least me) on who your team is.

Yes, UGA is terrible right now. We haven't recruited (or landed, either way) good, tall DBs for years. We have hard hitting safties, but we need some CBs who can cover and can shut down these big time receivers that are popping up (Meachem, Johnson just on our schedule alone). Willie Martinez hasn't shown me anything that he isn't riding the coattails of Brian Van Gorder and his defense from a few years ago. Prior to contrary belief in local and national press coverage (mind you, I didn't see the last game) our quarterbacks aren't the problem. We haven't had a trusted receiver since Terrance Edwards left (and even he wasn't that reliable). When your all-time mark for receiving yards in a season is right at 1000, it tells me we are relying on the run too much. We have great running backs, but every defense out there knows they could whisper to our WRs and they'd drop the ball. The problem isn't with the guy throwing, it's with the chumps running the routes. Massaqoui was supposed to be this next great thing, but he's turned into Fred Gibson, a guy with a bunch of hype and he can't catch a cold.

Our OL, DL and RBs are great. Our safties, LBs and QBs are okay, and our WRs and CBs plain suck. We aren't going to beat anyone at this rate, and in the SEC, losing to Vanderbilt is right there with Texas losing to Baylor.

I gotta agree with you on this one. Hell, look at Alabama last year. Their QB was decent (besides being skittish in the pocket and being sacked more than pork and beans at a Winn Dixie grocery store). When Alabama lost their star receiver (Tyrone Prothro), the entire offense fell apart. I also attribute that to Schula's conservative coaching and dependance on one strength in the offense though.

I should be at the Auburn-Georgia game this year. Regardless of the weaker season Georgia is having in comparison to past years, I still think it'll be a good game :)

Cool. I'm in grad school at MSU. I graduated from Auburn, though, and am probably coming up to watch the Auburn Tigers tear it up in that high school stadium of yours :) i kid, i kid.

I really wish you all would have beat alabama. Nothing makes me feel better than watching the Tide lose, well, nothing but watching Auburn win. A perfect day is when Auburn rises in victory and Alabama falls in defeat!
 
[quote name='gofishn']If you guys are done with Richt, we'll gladly take him off your hands to be our offensive coordinator again ;)[/QUOTE]

Aside from some conservative play calling, he's not the problem. I believe he's locked up for at least another five years, with stiff penalties if he goes to another school (like $2M/year).

We need some top-notch WRs and CBs to come our way, and we'll be set. We can trade you a decent QB and RB, we got plenty.
 
And is it just me, or has no one mentioned the foolishness at Miami this weekend? Shalala made herself look like a moron this morning on Mike & Mike.

What did she say this morning? I know she's been making an ass of herself and the Athletics department all weekend long. Ivan Maisel and Pat Forde have good dialgoues on ESPN.com on the UM situation. Coker has no control over his players.

Weatherford is a decent QB, just young still. Lorenzo Booker and Antone Smith were each the #1 RB recruit in the nation when we got them, so that shouldn't be a problem. You guys have any young promising assistant coaches that would like to be the OC of a major D1 program?

It's amazing how much the FSU offense has dropped off since Richt left, since the exact game actually. Richt left immediately prior to the 2000 National Championship game against Oklahoma. FSU managed to put up 2 points in that game! Since then it just hasn't been the same. We used to drop 50 points on top 5 teams with ease. Now we're lucky if we win against the likes of Maryland and Virginia. I have no doubt that FSU will be back on top, but it won't be until Jeff Bowden is replaced, and unfortunately that won't happen until Bobby either retires or dies.
 
just got my tix for the osu um game. I'm so pumped. the last time i went to columbus for a game was in 02 and we beat them behind the magic of Drew Henson.
 
Yeah, the OSU/UM game should be a HUGE game even more this year (assuming both teams win out...I know UM has Iowa this week, after that smooth sailing).

It's almost like a National Championship game
 
[quote name='thehuskerfan']DAMMIT!! That Nebraska/Texas game!!! Ugh!![/QUOTE]

I know. That would have been nice. I'm watching the ND/UCLA games right now. I'm hoping for an upset.

I just back from the Auburn/Tulane game. Auburn won, but Tulane had too many chances. Auburn still hasn't played a complete game all year.
 
[quote name='CocheseUGA']Wow, UGA sucked again. I wonder if Urban will hang another halfahundy on us.[/QUOTE]

Ditto on that entire statement, but replace UGA with FSU.
