Guest Tigrinum Major Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I think there's little doubt the Tigers will win the West again, whether it's or LSwho. In the East, UGA is still the team to beat imo. Still don't believe in the hype and USC won't win it...yet.Also, wanted to call Jenny on our victory in Red Stick...it was actually 1999, the Year of the Cigar. 234244[/snapback] UGA has a new QB and lost another offensive weapon in the mammoth tight end whose name escapes me. While they will still be good, don't discount early season games at South Carolina and UT as easy wins. Also, correcting Jenny will not earn you any bonus points. If she says 2000, then it was 2000.

quietfan 233 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hope Bama goes 0-12.I hate Alabama and want you to hate them too...... We need the Defense to play like champs from day 1. Am interested in hearing what everyone thinks of that. We can't get pushed around inside like Wisconson did. 234240[/snapback] Oh, trust me, I hate 'em! And wouldn't complain about 0-12.But lately I find myself leaning toward a different kind of torture for 'em: With Shula's new raise and contract extention, I'd like to see them go on for the six years of his contract always finishing in the 7-5 to 9-3 range, (with us and Tennessee or LSU always contributing in the "L" column, of course)--just enough to get their hopes up, then leave them frustrated wondering why their "NFL bound" coach and "Heisman quality" recruiting can never quite get the job done. I'm afraid 0-12 might cause them to dump Flipper and stumble into a good coach. Plus, the Bama Excuse Show is one of the best comedy routines going, and watching them flirt with real success only to fall just short guarantees great laughs for years to come.

I know it pains you to admit I have feet of clay, but get over the heroine worship, dude. In this case, I was part right and part wrong. We WERE the last away team to win the game, and it WAS on my hubby's birthday, but it was in 1999, not 2000. We did win again in 2000, but it was in Jordan Hare. While I was looking at the score record, I noticed that LSU and Auburn have played 10 times in the month of September since 1992. All games occurred between Sept 16 and 21. My hubby's birthday is September 18. Auburn is 7-4 against LSU in September for that weekend closest to September 18th. Here's to tradition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All they needed was one last TD against UT in 2004. But I wouldn't be surprised if our trip to Columbia this year turns out to be an SECCG preview. Also, thanks Jenny for letting me keep my head resting firmly on my shoulders, I rather like it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLink02 8 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 UF being picked to win the East is nothing new. Outside of 2004, UGA has never really been picked by a majority (some in 2003). UF is the kind apparently of wrapping up the Pre-Season SEC East Title. I dunno, UGA loses a lot but we lost our entire OL in 2003 and still won the East. Lost Pollack, Greene, Gibson, ext in 2005 and still won the East. I think we have a good shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA was supposed to be in a MAJOR rebuilding mode last year and look what they did. I'm not sold on UF or UT just yet, so I think UGA goes to the SECCG again this year. Richt and co always seem to be able to reload (as has Auburn the last few years). I'm sorry Slink, as good as I think UGA will be this year, will send them back from the SECCG with a buttwhoopin' (so there's my pick from the West; as if I'd pick someone else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarTim 3,456 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 LSU's losses at OL/DL will hurt them tremendously, imo. In addition, do they do a QB switch or stick to one QB? That could have a real effect on the team....ask DJ/Greene about that.I still think in 2006 it is 1. AU 2. LSU 3. UA 234143[/snapback] I agree with slink. (That is if UA is for ARKANSAS!)

JB33 1 Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Without disputing any of the foregoing, a couple additional points to consider: 1. Alabama travels to Fayetteville (and early - READ: little time for Mary Tyler What's-Her-Name to mature at QB). 2. From the SEC East, Alabama plays UF and UT, both on the road; Arkansas doesn't play UF or UGA, and gets UT at home. (Both also play Vandy, so that's a push.) ADVANTAGE: Hogs. 1. - Great talent; friendly schedule. (Could Muschamp be to '06 what Borges was to '04? If so, look out . . . ) 2. - Great talent; tougher schedule. (And I'm sure they've got some linemen who are ready to go, but can they get some consistency from all that backfield talent? And can they keep them healthy?) 3. See above. 4. Ditto 5. Mostly because they're not MSU. 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KunzelTiger 0 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Look Engineering in Bama must be really sad if you can't understand this..so i'm going to break it down. "Running the table" is a colloquialism that originates from billiards. A person in billiards "runs the table" when they break and then proceed to pocket every ball without giving his opponent a chance. When the game is over the person who "ran the table" has no balls left on the table. The person who had the table run on them has all of their balls left. NOW, this doesn't REALLY correlate to college football. If the game of football was played as each time you scored you kept the ball and the winner won at 7 touchdowns then, yes, a team could actually "run the table" against another team. When discussing "running the table" in terms of a season, the closest corollary would be a team going undefeated thus leaving all of their opponents with all of their "balls" left on the field. lol . If you wanted to be an ECE, you shoulda went to AU to get a real education. now..."running a train" is completely different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be done on teh break or after the opponent misses a shot. Therefore, "running the table" has come to mean "undefeated" in the context of other sports. Have you ever heard of a baseball team "running the table"? No, because it is impossible. Hence, Auburn (and Utah) "ran the table" in 2004 and did not win the MNC because they did not win the BCS game. USC "ran the table" and the won the BCS game, so they were MNCs. USC did not "run that table" in 2003, but still was awarded the MNC by the AP, while LSU also did not "run the table" but won the BCS game in 2003. By the way, running over to Crimson Tusks and whining about Auburn fans being closeminded because we are correcting you on your misuse of a term is not very becoming of you.
