2008 SEC Football Discussion Thread

[gatorblueyes]

heh... you just expected when someone said "hey lets watch a football game" for the ball to be round and black-n-white-checkered!

It was a great game.



Speaking of great games.... anyone catch the Texas/Texas Tech game? holy cow what a finish!!!!!

No 1 Texas got de-throned!

Question is, can Bama handle beating LSU next week? I hope so, but it'll be a great game!

Right now for the SEC Championship, it looks like this game could decide who goes for the west most likely. Right now Bama is ahead, but if LSU beats them and Auburn beats Bama, then LSU will go. (but Auburn will have to "get their crap together" if they plan on beating Bama this year. But as we've learned in the past, all bets are off on past records when it comes to the Iron Bowl). )


From the East, unless they screw up, Florida will be leading the East to Hot-Lanta to the Georgia Dome...

Ummmm Auburn beating Bama would require a miracle IMO. Auburn has laid an egg this year. Tiger Stadium is going to be insane next weekend. I really hope Bama pulls through even though I am a closet LSU fan lol. I would be so stoked if we end up in the NC since it will be in my backyard!!!

We got up to number five in the BCS...we just need to take care of business.

I only saw the LAST play of the Texas game...and it was the play to see lol.

It was a boring game...

Sorry for ya...wasn't boring for me in the least.

sadly I agree with you. I don't think Auburn will be able to pull out a "7 in a row" win this year over Bama.... They just can't play a game worth a darn this year.

I mean first half this past weekend I don't think they got but 30 yards rushing the entire half... that's pretty bad.

Tiger Stadium is going to be insane next weekend. I really hope Bama pulls through even though I am a closet LSU fan lol. I would be so stoked if we end up in the NC since it will be in my backyard!!!

.

It definately will be the game to watch...

I am so getting the heck out of T-town for the Iron Bowl. Sounds like a good weekend to go diving. I live about five minutes away from the stadium and do NOT want to be here that weekend, lol.

I saw in the paper yesterday that some people were asking $1,000 eah for Iron Bowl tickets.

What really sucks is that I'm probably going to wind up working that game....ugh!

I'll be shocked if this guy isn't at the top of the replacement list:
