I told my dad that I was picking Tennessee....he was happy....

He grew up just about 40 miles north of Knoxville give or take....

[MikefromOhio]

At the half

South Carolina 3

Mississippi State 0

Yep...good game.I like low scoring defensive struggles.
I'm enjoying this game.

[MikefromOhio]

yeah me too...

I'm just glad to see Mississippi State competitive again.

The SEC is better because of it.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

That Fake Punt was straight Spurrier LOL

Consider yourself fortunate. I hate being at work at times like this...I'm stuck with Boise State completely destroying Sacramento State. 28-0 BSU. To be expected against the team picked to finish dead last in a I-AA conference I suppose.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

I'm indulging in a fine glass of California wine...very nice.

[scott says]

No Catch!!!

" Subtle,yet obnoxious..."

So...if it had glasses, it would be Harry Reid? :)

[Michael.SF.]

unless their QB situation degenerates....

Booty's back up is no slouch himself. I also think their LB group will have the speed to be effective against the run.

[commish]

It's one thing to schedule a good team in your first game.

But a conference opponent?

And South Carolina has to play Georgia next week.

SO they open up with back to back conference games.

[scott says]

Oh man...now I really need a drink! ;)

[GOP_Raider]

SEC footbal itself has fascinated me, always has. One of these days, I'll get to see one in person. It's on my "to do" list.

[GOP_Raider]

For 3 1/2 years he was one of my Senators. The bars in Nevada stay open 24 hrs for a reason. :)

[MikefromOhio]

No he isn't, but even USC can't survive a two headed QB monster....

[MikefromOhio]

Yeah that's a very interesting schedule that they have there...

I'm glad you guys enjoyed that game. For me, it was two not very good teams playing to a draw for a half and then depth and Darth Visor winning out in the end. To my SEC trained eyes, MSU is no better than last year and will win 3 games (4 would be a great year) as they simply do not have enough SEC level talent on offense. USC will likely win at least 6 due to the easy schedule: MSU, Wofford, MTSU, Florida Atlantic, Kentucky and Vanderbilt). A make or break game for them will be next week hosting Georgia. UGA is going to be interesting with Joe Terishinski III at QB. He was simply dreadful last year in his only start. Methinks Richt will veer from the FSU style chuck'n'duck offense and actually focus on running the ball this year. Anyway, USC has 10 days to prepare, gets them at home, with an unproven QB at UGA. Could be interesting...

We (Auburn) get MSU next week in Starkville. Unless they improve dramatically, that game shouldn't be close. We will not win by 40+ because Tuberville calls off the dogs and will try and build some experience. JMHO of course...

[Wyatt's Torch]

I would highly recommend making it to the Auburn-Alabama game in Auburn; Georgia-Florida in Jacksonville; Tennessee-Florida either place; or Auburn-Georgia in either place. SEC football is a religion in the south. Nothing like it anywhere else.

Pretty boring for a Steve Spurrier coached game.

Typical BC. Looks good for a while then they fall asleep.
