In an effort to keep our discussions focused on other posts, I thought I’d throw this up in case you want to talk trash.
I think we all join in hoping that Georgia will rise up and smite the Tigers so that BAMA will be excluded from BCS bowl contention. I just love those things on which we all agree.
I’ve said this seldom in my lifetime, but “Go Bulldogs.”
Forget it Dave. Your dreams of the Independence Bowl for the SABANATION will go unfulfilled. LSU will win by at least 14 points if not more.
A guy can hope.
Georgia up 3. Call the game now – slaughter rule.
Dave, I do want to take this break from the LSU-GA game now at 28-10 LSU to say thank you for this serious post. Yu guys have had some very light hearted posts in the last few days. Stuff like second tier issues dividing the church, forgiveness for sexual deviants, bigotry among believers, etc. I love a serious post like this wherein a guy can stretch his cognitive skills to the limit in research and analysis of gathered data in order to predict things of great importance to the whole FOOTBALL UNIVERSE. Thank you Dave. You are a scholar’s friend… Read more »
I still say they should have called the game when GA was up by 10.
Houston is getting exposed right now. Now way in this world were they ever a top 10 team. Southern Miss is beating them 42-21 in the 4th! Houston would be beaten by 3 TD’s by Arkansas, and Houston would probably never even score a point against the defenses of Bama and LSU. So, all of those people, who thought Houston should get a chance to play for the National Championship just because they were undefeated should take note that the schedule you play DOES matter.
David
You know I’m no SEC fan, but I agree about those little conference schools. If you want to gain credibility, you have to play some big boys in your non-conference schedule (like Boise State does).
Who did Boise St. play besides Georgia? Tulsa, Toledo, Nevada, and Fresno St. That’s hardly a tough schedule. I mean, their conference is a weak schedule to begin with…then they add teams that are very similar to the teams in their weak conference.
Now, if they were playing Bama, Oregon St., Oklahoma St., Tennessee, and Iowa…then, I’d agree. 🙂
David
Guys,
Boise State has a ‘blue’ football field. What is that? Huh? FOOTBALL fields are green. Skies are blue. Easter Eggs are blue. Blue Birds are blue. Of course, Boise State would be blue (and black) if they ever play a SEC NATION, especially the CRIMSON TIDE!
Vol, Your analysis is correct. Houston was never a top ten team. The broadcasters are now promoting their ideas as to how the BCS should operate. You know fellows, the only reason they are having this conversation is because of the SEC. Were it not for the power NATIONS of the SEC, there would be no glitch in the BCS to argue about. That just proves there are only two real FOOTBALL CONFERENCES in existence, the NFL and the SEC. If raw truth was demanded in FOOTBALL, the winner of the SEC Championship would have to play the winner of… Read more »
Dave, May I take just a moment to reflect upon the self-destruction of the Texas Aggies? In the span of a week or so, they (1) lost the final game of their former 118-year in-state rivalry, (2) lost their in-state rival referenced repeatedly in their now outdated fight song, (3) played their final game in a conference they promised just last year to participate in, (4) fired their head football coach, (5) lost a prized wide receiver recruit to the afore-mentioned former rival, and (6) are now making preparations, as a 6-6 team in the Big Twelve, to enter the… Read more »
But we don’t get our brand leveraged to promote the University of Texas. And for that, we will pay any price. And feel it is worth it. In a decade, A&M will be competitive in the SEC. We graduate over 10,000 per year and they’re loyal to the brand and (mostly) to the unique traditions that set A&M apart from the rest. We’re quirky but faithful. Sherman was a good guy, but he let too many close games slip through his fingers this year and didn’t know what to do to change that. I regret the way his firing was… Read more »
“In a decade, A&M will be competitive in the SEC.”
Greg, why wait until then? They can be just as competitive in the SEC only a few hours from now…in your sweet dreams.
If A&M wins the SEC title in the next ten years, I’ll become a Methodist and take up drinking.
In the words of me:
“I’m a Baptist, and one religion is enough for me.”
🙂 <–that's like saying "Bless their hearts".
Robert Griffin, III of the former Baptist Baylor Bears is one awesome player to watch….I’m watching him disect the cows with long horns right now….awesome, incredible player.
David
I can’t see the stupid score of the game because they are running the winter weather alerts (which is stupid – I can look outside and see that it is snowing!).
It’s like I’ve got a TV screen and I can see things…like Texas coming back and scoring against Baylor to end the first quarter. Some of you can see these things too…because they’re true and really happening on a genuine, G-rated TV screen!
Rick,
I see it, too!!
🙂
I see on my television screen the Texas Longhorns tying the game at 14-14 early in the second quarter.
And my revelation is not a false one.
Rick and Vol are nerds.
I see RGIII scoring on a keeper – right up on my screen.
I perceive that thou art a prophet, sir, for thy prophecy is true.
However, I holdeth forth a future hope that yet another McCoy shall throw and yet another Shipley shall receive that which is thrown, and I will never give up hope, as the song says….

Rick,
Are you an A&M graduate?

That’s not something you should admit in public, Rick.
Knew I smelled a tea-sip.
If Georgia would just catch a pass, they could be beating LSU 14-0 right now….c’mon, Dawgs…catch the ball.
David
It’s 10-0. Total GA domination. Call it now. Mercy rule. Call the game at the end of the first quarter. Don’t let GA humiliate the Tigers.
“Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.” (2 Kings 2:24)
Congratulations, Baylor!!
Better switch channels now. The OSU is fixing to kick the snot out of the “poor sooners”.
AGain, we can all join in hoping for that.
Well that’s it. 42-10 LSU.
Wait. I hear something. what is it? It is coming form down T’town way. I can hear it plain now. It’s the Crimson Elephant arising from his rest and screaming “Bring on the Swamp Lizards. The Tide is about to ROLL TIDE ROLL!!”
OSU has a grudge to settle with LSU…..tell that pink elephant to wait on the sidelines.
Jake,
I will say that had the SABANATION had the luck of Oklahoma’s field goal kicker tonight a couple of weeks ago, there would be no question as to who the best team in the country is right now.
CB,
We all know who the best is….O(klahoma)S(tate)U(university)…bring on the swamp lizards, I have a hankerin’ for fried gator chunks. Don’t worry about your poor sickly pink elephant….got my BMG50 crosshairs right behind and slightly above his right ear….he won’t feel a thing (promise).
Don’t blink my brother. That Elephant can turn on a dime and be upon you like the waves of the ocean. That’s why they call him the Crimson Tide.
I will say OSU handled themselves well tonight…… But not that well. ROLL TIDE! 🙂
May God’s grace be upon you and yours tomorrow Jake, as you go to worship our King.
70% of Americans in an ESPN poll believe that LSU should play OK State, not Alabama in the BCS national championship.
DUH! 70% of Americans don’t live in Alabama
ON WISCONSIN!!!
Okay, I definitely do not like the Crimson Tide…BUT, Bama’s only loss was an extremely close loss to LSU. Oklahoma St. ‘s loss was to who??????
David
The only reason we (OSU) lost was we were in shock over the loss of the womens BB head coach & asst coach in a plane crash, to the day 10 years after we lost nearly the entire team in a plane crash. Get over it Biff…..WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!!!
If it had been football coaches who died in the crash you would have a point.
As it is, let them settle it on the field against LSU as I think OSU will jump Bama in the polls and play for the championship.
I wish, but not gonna happen. I’ll be thrilled to be wrong.
OSU made quite the statement last night! They got me to change my mind. Of course, I don’t have a vote.
Just saw this at ESPN.com: Alabama remained No. 2 behind LSU and ahead of Oklahoma State in the latest USA Today Coaches’ and Associated Press college football polls.
CB, did you see Wade’s “suggestion” that Alabama boosters bought off the announcers to promote Alabama on the air?
No evidence of course. And corruption, in Alabama football? Why, I never…
Don Quixote making accusations with no evidence? Surely you jest. That is unthinkable!!!
(/sarcasm)
Cue the WDF (Wade Defense Force) in 5, 4, 3….
I was trying to figure out if that was some kind of joke or a conspiracy theory type thing. Still not really sure.
It wasn’t a joke I’m sure
Hopelessly Narcissistic Personality Disorder bloggers who live in a Lesser Conference with wild-eyed, grandiose, delusional, conspiracy theories aside, Here is the deal. 1. For the sixth (6), count ’em, 6th consecutive year (that means one-after-another for six (6) years), the greatest known FOOTBALL CONFERENCE in the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE will be the FOOTBALL CONFERENCE of which the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBALL NATION comes from. That’s reality. Take it or leave it. That is reality. Now, what is yet to be determined is which of the elite FOOTBALL NATIONS will it be. Will it be the SWAMP LIZARDS of the LSU NATION? ___________________or_____________________________… Read more »
Let LSU beat down OSU. Then Bama can finish #2 in the AP poll, the SEC shows its dominance again, and the Hog will rise next year and beat you all.
If LSU doesn’t get to play one of these other conference, they’ll whine until next year about not getting the chance, that the SEC run of championships is tainted because biased voters wouldn’t give OSU the chance…
Fried gator chunks, BBQ whole hog, roasted elephant……man it don’t get no better!!!
Two Words: Tim Tebow.
Didn’t he play in the SEC.
Yes, I believe he did.
Hmmmm….
Can any of you older gentlemen remember a worse season for a bowl schedule? This is downright horrendous. I think college football is over this season for me.
Blake,
The bowl schedules in my memory that were “downright horrendous” were those years wherein the Crimson Tide was not scheduled to play in one.
I realize that is a shock to your system as it would be to anyone in the FOOTBALL UNIVERSE, but there have been a few years when the great Tide was left to the side.
There are some excellent posts presently from the fellows who write for this blog. Very impressive.
Nonetheless, Don’t forget 01-09-12. That is the date of an important event none of you want to miss.
If you do not know what the event taking place on that date is, ask Dave Miller.He can tell you. He thinks about it often….and with tears.
It’s the day that the folly of the BCS selection process will begin th dismantling of the stupidity of the BCS.
Hey Sports Fans! I am sure you all got up out of bed and ran to the calender to check the date and saw that today is 12-09-11. Then you jumped up and down and sang: HAPPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY!! to the top of your voices. The thrill of knowing 01-09-12 is exactly a month away, was almost more than your hearts could bear! Right?….Me too! But be patient, it’s coming. Oh Yes! And remember when you wrap your Christmas presents in Crimson wrapping paper with pictures of Raging Elephants and Trent Richardson on it; With each fold of the… Read more »
What’s nice is that I can sleep at night the whole next month knowing that the Football Championship will at least remain in the Conference to which it belongs. Nay, the division of the conference to which it belongs.
We will get in on the rotation soon enough. WOO PIG!
Honor yourself tonight with a good Pulled Pork B-B-Q feast there my SEC brother for your ability at deductive reasoning. This year the Swamp Lizards or the Elite Elephant Tribe of the Crimson Tide will bring it home. But next year; Who knows? The RAZORBACK NATION may bring it all home. And of course, that will make eight years in a row! Hey all you Lesser Conference fans. Did you hear that? EIGHT IN A ROW!! the SEC rules FOOTBALL! But we are humble and hope you enjoy the sport as do we, but of course to a lesser degree… Read more »
There is one game that Elite Fans of the SEC always respect and enjoy even though it is not of our CONFERENCE. That is the ARMY – NAVY game. Tomorrow the USMA Cadets will meet the Midshipmen of the USNA on the gridiron in Landover, Maryland for the 112th time at 2:30 ET. CBS carries the game. Navy has won the last eight games. The Black Nights from West Point are hungry for a win. Maybe tomorrow they will get one. But whoever wins, I hope they all have a grand day………. Because you know…….The next time some of those… Read more »
Many things have happened this day to cause deep thinkers to think deeply.
One thing the deep thinkers are thinking deeply about is the fact that the SEC has 9 NATIONS playing in Bowl Games and if they think about it existentially, there are 10 SEC NATIONS in Bowl Games this season.
Deep thinkers generally do not come out of the SEC. For instance, in the Big 10, student athletes are actually required to attend classes.
It is reported that 5 out of 4 people in the SEC can’t do fractions…..
SBC In Pioneer State,
SEC grads do not use fractions. They get paid in whole dollars.
Why haven’t we taken Ohio State into the SEC yet?
Oh yeah…they got caught.
Dave, That just show us how uninformed you are Dave. In the SEC student athletes never miss classes. They are all required to be in lab (weight room) at six in the morning. They do not leave lab before ten. They go to virtual class (watch game film) at 10:15. Lunch break is from 12-1:30. Afterwards they are in class (on the field) until 5:30. Then the eat supper and do homework (watch game film). They go to bed at 9:45. All that SEC students do is go to class, eat and sleep. They live in class. After three years… Read more »
Hey Sports Fans! Today is 12-16-2011. I realize that the Davids, one and all: Miller, Rogers, and Worley and all other good little boys and girls are going to sleep each night with visions of sugar plums dancin’ in their heads. They all can’t wait ’till Christmas Eve. Yet, they all need to realize that the theological giants who frequent SBC Voices have been most ardent in proving that the little red clad elf known as Saint Nicholas is a mythical character and that Christmas trees should be climbed with extreme care because falling out of one can be a… Read more »
Hey Sports Fans! I am sure all of you have your sermons or teaching outlines well prepared for tomorrow, because only lazy guys wait ’till Saturday to get ready to teach and preach. Right? But there is another reason I am sure you are ready for Sunday. The COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL GAMES begin today!! There are, if I am correct, 35 Bowl Games this year. HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY!! Today you can take your pick: 1. Gildan New Mexico Bowl–THE TACO BOWL, or the: WITH THE RIGHT HOT SAUCE, TACOS ARE GREAT MAN-FOOD FOR FOOTBALL GAMES BOWL between Temple and… Read more »
Hey Sports Fans! The Bowl Season is in full swing. HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY!! There are thirty-two Bowl Games left. For your ‘consumption’ tonight it is a good one for all you beef eaters out there who like to make your Bowl Game Man-Food match the the name of the Bowl. It is a goody: The Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl- or the “HONEY GET OUT THE GRILL AND MAKE MINE RARE WHILE I PUT NEW BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE BOWL” between Florida International and Marshall. And in case you are wondering, the BIG ONE is still 01-09-12. Merry Christmas Sports… Read more »
Hey Sports Fans!
The Thundering Herd from Marshall lead by Rakeem Cato walked through the wannabe-bad-guys from Florida International 20-10. Cato had 226 yards in the air with two touchdowns.
The cool thing about Marshall is their coach. His name is “Doc Holliday.” Maybe Marshall needs to change the name of the team from the Thundering Herd to the “Thundering Pistoleros” in honor of their coach’s namesake from the Wild West.
Hey Sports Fans!
Tonight we have the:
Poinsettia Bowl-or the BOWL GAME THAT’S NAMED AFTER A FLOWER THAT’S NOT A ROSE BOWL between Louisiana Tech and TCU.
All you Sports Fans will have plenty of time to get home from church and get out your man-food for this one. It will be played in sunny San Diego, CA.
HAPPY, HAPPY, JOY, JOY; Church, Man-Food, and Football and it ain’t even Sunday! Don’t you just love Bowl Season?!!
Hey Sports Fans! As I am sure you all know the TCU Horned Toads edged by Louisiana Tech 31-24, winning in the fourth quarter by scoring 14 points making Poinsettia Bowl history. Tonight is another night of Bowl Game delight as Arizona State and Crybaby Boise State get together in the Las Vegas Bowl – or the WE HAVE TO LET THE BOISE STATE CRYBABIES PLAY SOMEBODY EVEN IF IT IS A 6-6 TEAM SO THEY WILL SHUT-UP BOWL I am sure all of you Sports Fans will be cheering the Sun Devils to victory tonight along with me. BTW,… Read more »
CB,
What are you delusional? So what if those ‘po cajuns get whipped by a case of red tide…..all that will do is even out the score. The REAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP is being played out west, where they have to kick the rattlesnakes off the field. Between, here it comes…..wait on it….THE REAL OSU and the down the list rated, left coast liberals…..stanford.
Jake my brother,
Although we are often at a variance on theological issues, I have always thought you to be an astute man. Obviously, I was wrong.
Nonetheless, I do hope your OSU boys win the Fiesta Bowl, for your sake Jake, ’cause that is about as close as the Little Cowboys are ever going to come to a National Championship. “Cause everybody knows that “National Championship” is just another way to say: SEC PLAY-OFFS.
Sorry Jake, but as you and John Wayne always say, “Close but no cigar.”
CB,
You just went and stepped in a pile of stink. You could have accepted the fact that unlike the egyptians of old, those ‘ol cajuns aren’t allergic to some old stinky red tide. You lose once and then want another beating????? You know the definition of dumb don’t ya? Put the same thing in, expecting a different outcome. Poor ‘ol CB, my heart will bleed for you on THAT day.
Hey Sports Fans! I did not watch the Las Vegas Bowl last evening due to yesterday’s Alabama storms knocking out the electricity in my area for about 14 hours. But that is OK. No one was hurt here and Alabamians are kinda “skidish” about storms since April 27, 2011. So I say, Thank you Lord for you mercy and goodness. Nonetheless, We here at the SBC Voices FOOTBALL PLAYGROUND are back up and running full speed today! DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT?!! As anyone who is even remotely astute in the universe of college football would have discerned, Boise State… Read more »
Hey Sports Fans! Here we are on Christmas Eve. There is one Bowl Game today. Today Nevada plays those bad boys from Southern Mississippi in the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl – or the WHAT A FUN PLACE TO PLAY FOOTBALL BOWL. The Man-Food of the day is Pineapple Upside-Down Cake and Roasted Pig and for all you Polynesian Islander Football Fans, if you want to fry up yourselves 3 or 4 pounds of Spam, have at it. You can forget about that cholesterol count today ’cause it is Christmas Eve and Bowl Season. So enjoy. You can hit that treadmill and… Read more »
Hey Sports Fans! The Wolf Pack could not chew enough feathers off the Golden Eagles from Southern Mississippi to win the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. Southern Miss. squeezed by 24-17. The win gives coach Larry Fedora a feather in his fedora as he leaves to take the head coaching job at North Carolina. Today we have the Independence Bowl – or the WHY DON’T WE GET TO PLAY IN THE SUPER DOME LIKE EVERY OTHER BIG GAME IN LOUISIANA BOWL? between Missouri and North Carolina.
