Week One

Ok, so let me be the first to admit that Bama's win wasn't pretty, but I'll take it. We had no groove for all but the last 10 minutes of the game. I have NO IDEA why Saban kept running the wildcat when CLEARLY our center has issues with the long snap...and by issues, I mean he keeps snapping the ball into his ass. We ran the wildcat, what, like 15 times during the game and it only worked twice?!? Once for a gain of a yard and once for a gain of six. Yeah, Nick. Grrreeeaaattt idea to stick with it.

I'm also completely baffled by Rolando McClain's outburst. I don't care if that Hokie said he'd slept with your momma, you are NOT GOOD ENOUGH to cost the Tide 30 yards with one act. I don't care if you're Joe Namath. Even Broadway Joe would have gotten read the riot act by the Bear for getting 2 personal fouls at one time. Rolando, you're supposed to be a leader for our boys; you KNOW better!! I don't like being mad at you, so knock it off already!!

Regardless of all the nonsense, Bama played well enough to get the W in their column, and I happened to be tailgating with 7 people who happened to make me have more fun tailgating all day than I have since my days at Bama!

SEC EAST:

Well, no shocker that Florida won. They played a D-2 team whose stadium is smaller than my high school's (got some love for the Bucs though, seein' as how it's my hometown and all).

UT. Ugh. I can't wait for Lane Kiffin to play an actual opponent so he can get his ass handed to him. So I'm looking forward to this Saturday (GO BRUINS!!).

Carolina. Yeah, finished watching that game on Thursday -- it wasn't the greatest showing but the Gamecocks had more points when the clock ran out, so woo hoo!! Eric Norwood's gonna be a game-changer for sure! Keep an eye on him...

Georgia. Ouch. I mean, OSU is ranked and all but....damn.

Vandy. Awwww, Vandy. I love Vandy...when they're not playing Bama. But I didn't manage to catch the game, so I don't really have much to say on this one. I'll be cheering for the Commodores this week though!

Kentucky. Kentucky played? Oh yeah, I remember seeing highlights of them beating the snot out of Miami Ohio. Apparently Kentucky plays sports other than basketball. Go figure.

SEC WEST:

So Arkansas beat Missouri State. Yawn. The next 3 weeks for you is gonna be tough though. Get ready!

Auburn, your game was much like Bama's -- not pretty, but you'll take it, right? I still miss Tommy though...

LSU, I'd love to say something about your game, but I was too busy enjoying my tailgating buddies' company at the time to really pay attention to your game. Sorry dude. Don't beat up on Vandy too bad this week, k?

Miss. State. Did you REALLY let Jax State hold you to one touchdown for an entire half of a game?? THEY'RE A D-2 SCHOOL! I mean, I know that you're not like, a contender for winning the west and all, but still...

Ole Miss. Fun times! Maybe I just have a soft spot for Houston Knutt, but I love watching the Rebs play. Can you please teach Bama how to run the wildcat--er, I mean Wild Rebel--since Nick seems hell-bent on incorporating it into our offensive MO??? Pretty please?? Teheheheheh, can I just say how amused I am that you're ranked 6th?!? I can't say I'd hate it if you went all the way this year...

OTHER GAMES:

Shock me, shock me, shock me. Texas beat UL-Monroe. Way to beat up on the little guys.

Oklahoma. Get well soon, Sam! I'm really glad to hear it's not a separated left shoulder and just a sprained AC joint. Still a little shocked that BYU beat the Sooners though...even with Bradford out...wow.

Ok...that's kinda all I can remember at this point from the weekend. The highlight of the weekend was really all of the hilarity at IHOP at 3am. Thank you to Jonathan, Mandy, Jason, Kimberly, Keri and Steven!!! You guys rock!!!
