VOLS BITCH
Vols, Bitch. - Powered by vBulletinBull Gators will pony up and fix this. Slive saves face, Meyer made his point, and Jimmy Hyams still has our “Scoop” Award Hyams still sucks
It’s that time again, another week of CFB prognostication. The Locks went 2-2 ATS last week for a 3rd week in a row bringing the overall total to 15-17 ATS (13-7 the last 5 weeks). The 2 winners last week were Cincy -15 and GT -11.5 both covering easily (GT had a scare going into the 4th quarter but ended up winning by 25). The 2 losers were UGA +15.5 and Idaho -3. The Dawgs got stomped in the Cocktail party and the Vandals won by 1. Still trying to get above the .500 mark and this week there is a good slate of games highlighted by a few titanic match-ups including Bama/LSU, Penn St/O$U and Okla/Neb. I really like this board and hopefully have chosen the rights ones to play.
Lots of controversy in CFB this week involving the anointed ones …..the Florida Gates. AA LB Brandon Spikes was involved in an eye gouging incident that led HC Herban Meyer to announce that this was a “teaching moment” for his team, and he followed that up with a stiff penalty for Spikes of a suspension from the Vandy game for the 1st half. Spikes later announced he was suspending himself for the entire game. Damn, those Gates are tough on discipline down in Gunsville. Like Herban says “the top 1 % of the top 1%.” Herban made more news by criticizing the SEC officials in the UGA/Fla game for a hit Teabag took on a play that Herban thought was against the rules. This will be interesting to see how the SEC office handles this statement now that Mike Slive (SEC Commissioner) has put out a “zero tolerance” policy on HCs complaining about the officials. Since Slive is clearly Jeremy Foley’s (Fla AD) organ monkey, I highly doubt any action will be taken. I think all the pressure of trying to repeat as NC is getting to Herban and the Gates. We will see how they handle it coming down the stretch. Not a ton of movement in the top teams in the BCS Poll last week as the Iowa Luckeyes continue to win ugly. The Locks Lucky 7 this week is as follows: 1. Texas, 1. Fla., 1. Bama, 4. Cincy, 5. TCU, 6. Iowa and 7. Oregon. Some really strange line movement this week on several game. Hou. opened up as a 2.5 point favorite at Tulsa and the line has moved to Tulsa being a 1 point favorite ….What? Also, Okla. opened as a 6.5 point favorite at Neb. and that initially made the short list for the Locks. Now that line has gone to Okla being favored by only 4.5 ….somebody must know something I don’t. So what games made the cut?
1. BAMA -7.5 v. LSU A titanic clash in T-town that will for all intents and purposes determine the SECW champ, and a trip to ATL to face the Gates. The SEC Bye Week Theory (4-3 ATS this year, and 70% ATS over past 3 years) is in play as Bama is coming off a bye. This line opened with Bama being favored by 9 and was bet down to 7.5 early in the week. Some places have it at as much as 8.5, but I will take the best line available ….-7.5 (also buy the half point down to 7, a critical number). In looking for a mis-match in this game, one need look no further than the trenches. Bama has a decided advantage in OL versus LSU’s DL. LSU is last in the SEC in sacks and is not its usual self in stopping the run. We all know Bama can run the ball (#13 rushing O in nation) led by RB M. Ingram, but when Bama QB McElroy has time to throw he is very efficient. The play action pass plays should be there for Bama. Now LSU’s D is very good especially at LB (K. Sheppard) and DB (C. Jones and P. Peterson), but if Bama can establish the run, then it is game over. On the opposite side of the ball is where the real advantage lies for the Tide. LSU’s OL is not very good in the run game (LSU #100 in total O and #69 in rush O) and is even worse at pass protection (allowed 23 sacks and #96 pass O). Bama’s DL is scary good and leads the SEC in sacks getting consistent pressure from DE M. Dareus as well as coming up with complex blitz packages from the Li’l General Nicky Saban. Bama’s D numbers are off the chart (#4 in total D, #5 in scoring D, #2 in rush D and #20 in pass D) and if LSU has a chance it will be on the back of QB J. Jefferson. Sorry, I cannot trust him in a hostile environment. As much as I hate to say it, Bama wins here. BAMA 23 LSU 10
2. A&M -3 @ COLO The Dan Hawkins era at Colorado is unofficially over with the Buffs last two losses to KST and Mizzou. The Buffs are 2-6 and going nowhere fast. The Aggies have turned it around with 2 straight wins (out scoring their opponents 87-40) over T Tech and Iowa St. In looking at this game, the thing that pops out at you is that the Aggies have an O (#3 total O, #8 scoring O, #23 rush O and # 12 pass O) while the Buffs do not (#113 total O, #96 scoring O, #114 rush O and #71 pass O). While neither team has a very good defense, A&M has been able to generate a pass rush in recent games which should help against new Buff QB T. Hanson. In another note of bad news for Colorado, heralded RB D. Scott announced this week he was leaving the team and transferring. Scott has been banged up all year and has not contributed as expected, but it cannot be good news for Hawkins. A&M is led by QB J. Johnson who is on fire lately completing almost 70% of his passes the past 3 weeks. The Aggies also have found a running game lately as RB C. Gray has rushed for 250 yds the past 2 games. While Colo is flaky enough to play great this week (remember Kansas 3 weeks ago), it appears that Hawkins (“this is D-1 football, man”) has lost the team. There is no way Colorado can keep up in a score fest with the Aggies, and if A&M can not have a ton of TOs, this one could be over at half time. Remember to buy the half point here down to -2.5, as 3 is a critical number. A&M 37 COLO 21
3. ORE ST +7 AT CAL This game pits 2 teams playing their best of the season and should determine bowl pecking order in the PAC-10. The Beavers (gotta love them Beavers) are 3-1 in their last 4 games beating Ariz. St, Stanford and UCLA, with the only loss coming at the hands of U$C in a close one. Cal enters this one on a 3 game winning streak after imploding against Oregon and U$C. Both teams have prolific offenses and bad pass defenses, so it should be a high scoring affair (take the over). This tilt also features the best 2 RBs in the Pac-10 in J. Best for Cal and J. Rogers for Ore. St. In capping this game, the thing that caught my attention was the QBs. The Beaver QB S. Canfield is #3 in QB efficiency in the PAC-10 and has been lights out the past month as Oregon St. has averaged over 30 points a game with the emergence of WRs J. Rogers (brother of RB) and D. Adeniji . Cal’s QB K. Riley is like a hotel shower …. all hot or all cold. He has been hot lately as Cal has scored 117 points in the last 3 games, but I expect him to go back to cold sooner rather than later. Both teams are pretty stout against the run (Ore St = #27 rush D and Cal = #30 rush D) so this game appears to be on the QBs. I will side with the more efficient Canfield catching a TD. For insurance buy the half point to make it +7.5.
ORE ST 35 CAL 34
OBSCURE GAME DEGENERATE SPECIAL (UTEP -7 @ Tulane) The Miners come into this game after a bad loss to UAB where they outgained the Blazers by over 150 yds. Tulane is just a bad team and the Miners will look to get healthy in an almost empty Superdome. Miner QB Vittatoe and RB D. Buckram should put up a ton of points here.
Good Luck!

While we await Draconian-esque Mike Slive’s historical ruling and subsequent suspension of Herban Meyer for critical comments of SEC officiating (Slive said to knock that shit off), lets look at the facts that must be wearing on the Mike:
When the reward is $34 million to the conference the conspiracy to make sure two teams are in the BCS is very plausible, I’m saying they planned on these two teams and they considered LSU as well but to a lesser extent.
Yeah, there’s an unavoidable conflict of interest with the refs being hired by the conferences. They might not have been told “Fix this game for Bama” or “turn a blind eye to Florida (get it??), but these refs know in the back of their minds that a call against Florida or Alabama it could come back to bite them in the ass if it keeps Florida or Bama out of the BCS Championship Game.
So this might be the conversation between Florida AD and SEC “Commissioner” Mike Slive:
Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Mike Slive? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Spikes and you curse Percy Harvin. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Spike’s suspension, while timely, will probably win a ball game. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, wins ballgames…You don’t want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about at Club Juana titty bar gatherings, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
Gators use words like 1% of 1%, class, denial…we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use ‘em as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very tradition I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it! I’d rather you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a helmet, fill the 2 gap and pancake a tailback. Either way, I don’t give a damn what you think you’re entitled to!

Matthew 5:29-30 (New International Version)
29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
With all the negative attention “weighing heavy on his heart,” Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes asked to serve a full-game suspension for apparently trying to gouge the eyes of a Georgia running back. Florida increases Spikes suspension to full game – GloucesterTimes.com, Gloucester, MA
I mean, it’s not like he tried to kill the President. It’s a dadgum crying shame when a player like Brandon Spikes is forced to sit out a game because of a minor indiscretion. I mean, who hasn’t blind someone? In a move that makes Mike Shula and JuWan Simpson eat an ice cream cone Monday marks last Florida State-Miami season opener – College Football – ESPN Suspended Simpson (guns and weed) …. started the game and played well in Alabama’s 25-17 victory. When Simpson was asked during training camp what he would do about his punishment, the senior replied, “I would give him an ice cream cone.” Who thought Shula would add hot fudge and nuts? . Now Spikes is going to have play extra hard to get boosters to remember him. Great players should be able to play no matter what their criminal record. Coaches have no right to take away their god given gifts to be FOOTBALL PLAYERS!
Many of the Florida faithful believe that Meyer is a great man. He is the best coach Florida has had since the Spurrier left to join Lou Holtz at the coaching graveyard of South Carolina. He is gonna lead the Gators to this year’s National Championship (right Mike Slive?). You call us idiots because we like to make fun of Slive, Tebow, Meyer and the rest of the Gator Cuckolds/Dullards. I can’t wait for this weeks game against Vanderbilt University as the Gators struggle to win, I hope you people are happy.
Ironically, this was on TV last night. Tebow is truly amazing if you let him into your heart.
Mike Slive I recommend that you proceed with caution. Herban Meyer can be a sneaky SOB. He parades many intruders on as Gators. Do you think Tebow is real? Are you kidding me?! Nobody could ever be that damned stupid as hell as tebow is. he has to be some sorta bad act. and Herban has him on to talk about Brandon Spikes like he is a child. I swear I read the comments Tebow had spoke has talked about the passion of Brandon after he tried wipe the spit off of his hand on that Georgia boys face-mask and if it’s me I think Coach Meyer should just slap the shit out of Slive cause he don’t know football like a football royalty like the boys that are wirting the checks.
I think Meyer is safe from Slive
Commissioner Mike Slive was given full discretion by the league’s athletic directors and presidents to hand out the punishment. He will determine the amount of fines and lengths of suspensions on a case-by-case basis.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida coach Urban Meyer believes Southeastern Conference officials missed a late hit on Tim Tebow in Saturday’s game against Georgia.
Meyer said Wednesday the crew calling the game should have flagged Bulldogs linebacker Nick Williams for knocking his quarterback to the ground well after he had gotten rid of the football.
Florida coach Urban Meyer says SEC officials missed late hit on quarterback Tim Tebow – ESPN
Anyone listen to Bill King this morning? He was talking today, in this moment, not historical, in his opinion Lane Kiffin is the second best coach in the SEC East. In my opinion, that would make Kiffin the third best in the SEC. Which makes him the 3rd best coach in the whole wide world!!
King also stuck his finger in Mark Richt’s lazy eye, and implied that the Old Ball Sack Coach was past his prime.
Read the beginning of the end of Herban Meyer:
Gators coach Urban Meyer (4) reviewed the video and used it as a teaching moment. The lesson Meyer delivered: Nothing, not even thuggish behavior, will be allowed to substantively interfere with our pursuit of a repeat national title.
- Alabama If I was a professional betting man, I would bet the house on the Bammeroids to win a close over LSU. This is pre-destiny. The UF-SPUAT SEC-CG matchup was decided a long time ago.
- Florida. I wish that with all of the hubub of the Brandon Spikes suspension, that the SEC Office could make a better effort to hide their love of Florida a bit better.
- LSU. Sorry Lester. Your checks didn’t clear the Bank of Slive.
- My beloved Vols. Name a QB that is playing better football than MDVs? Bama’s Mark Ingram can’t carry Montario Hardstey’s jock strap. Dispute those two statements, I DARE YOU. Here you go, let me make this real simple:
What other QB would you want to be leading your team down the field with 1:30 left to make a score?Colt McCoy?John Elway?
Jon Crompton?
Sorry, the correct answer is always Jon Crompton
- Everyone else is the bottom of the vat. This includes South Carolina. The best part of Tennessee curbstomping the gaspumpers was when South Carolina realized that they were South Carolina.
if so, how did I miss this photo? I literally laughed out loud. Golden Tate is punk ass, eye gouging bitch.
