Sounds good for the most part…
My differences…
G-Tech over Irish…
Wake over BC…
Memphis over Ole Miss…
Okie St. over Dawgs…
And…
Bowden Jr. over Bowden Sr…
you really think florida beats WKU w/o Brandon James? Lets puton our gator game jerseys, buy some weed from a cop, and smoke some weed
Gators should be in control for the last 60 minutes…
the cal ut pick is interesting. It could be the “starkville-esque” home field advantage by Cal that decisive edge
I have to agree with the Memphis over Ole Miss. Memphis will be storming back this year and be a factor in Conference USA which the Gender…errr… Mascot confused Rebels would not be.
Confusing thing is…
I read not too long ago that per capita the state of Mississippi has produced more NFL talent than any other state…
Why is that their CFB sux so bad?
It could be the home field advantage, but it also might be the Volunteers terrible-esque receiving core.
It’s pretty funny the colleges that some teams have to dig up for a tune up game… I won’t point any fingers at any blue and gold wearing hillbillies playing “Directional U”
Mississippi is just bad as place. They all want to leave
Gatorhippy, its simple math really…
Mississippi may have all that talent but what isn’t raped in pillaged from out of state colleges is left to be divvied up between 3 Division 1A schools that are roughly at the same playing level as each other.
Smaller population divided but more major schools = less talent to go around. Its not like Florida where there are only three real 1A schools and a huge population base (USF, FAU, and the rest of them don’t count).
There are the Delta State’s of the world that scoop up a lot of the talent.
Also there is the economic factor… I believe Ole Miss and MSU have the smallest athletic budgets in the SEC (Vandy doesn’t disclose their information though).
Right on, TBST…
But it was more a rhetorical question…
My bad. I just wanted to type something kinda long in a word doc to make my boss think I was actually doing some work.
LOL…
Nice concept TBST
Best team in Mississippi by far is Mississippi University for Women (offering men admission since 1982). They pick up all of the big girls…
Actually the best CFB team in Mississippi is at Pearl River Community college…

Yeah, FSU started sending their recruits that couldn’t make grades to PRCC a few years ago. Before that, Free Shoes University sent their future Neurologists to Northwest CC in MS.
GT exposes the Irish
there should be a ass-load of Cal posts this week
USF not a factor? They will be when they beat WVU again this year. A broken clock is right twice a day.
I believe the proper satirical nonmenclature for FSU is now:
Fat Severance University…
FSU or USF, I can only list 2 florida schools. It’s in the Bible
