Something other than our "game" to talk about...

[Pantone4515]

I know, we just played terribly and can't be talking about how any other team is bad, but as a distraction from our "game" this afternoon and a way to make me feel like my voice is heard on this issue, I climb atop my soap box...



Does anyone else see how bad OVER HALF of the SEC is?!

Arkansas - awful... was getting destroyed regularly until they met...

Auburn - more awful... and still ranked until tomorrow (what a joke... SEC bias anyone?); their offensive woes are well-documented, and their defense looked suspect against [see above]

Tennessee - awful AND ugly. nice highlighter orange. and their running back is a pterodactyl (see here)...

Mississippi State - 38-7. awful.

Kentucky - ok, awful may be a stretch this early. their losses have been respectable, but good? not so much.

Ole Miss and South Carolina - the ACC teams of the SEC - one week they look like a championship contender, then they lose to Vandy... which leads me to...

Vandy - the feel-good story of 2008 is a bad (albeit less-bad-than-previous-years) team that has had the ball bounce its way a few times against some bad teams (see 3 of the above, and see what happens when it doesn't bounce their way)

This leaves Alabama, ugag, Florida, and LSU. Honestly, I'm not sold on LSU being great yet, but they're good at least.

Before today's display of inneptitude, I would have gladly put Tech up against any of the first 8 teams (maybe with the exception of Ole Miss or SCeast on one of their good days).

Sure, the SEC is good, probably still the best conference, but I wish some of their fans could see how truly awful some of those bottom teams are, even if their helmet has an AU or a big, highlighter-orange T on the side.

It's not good defenses shutting them down... their offenses are awful.

Ok, I step off my soap box now. I feel better.

Thanks for the intermission from our horrible game yesterday. The only comment that I have for you is that LSU is definitely not half as good as the past few years. They lost big to the same UF that lost to Ole Miss at UF two weeks ago. They also have beaten nobody ... except that incredible Auburn team (sarcasm).

LSU's defense misses Bo Pellini bad. I've been saying it for two weeks now when I realized that MSU and Auburn had their best offensive performances of the season against LSU and Florida finally held a sign high for everybody to see.

That LSU offense is pretty tough, but their D, albeit athletic, is highly suspect.

Totally agree with you on this. That is what they are lacking this year. Bo Pellini was an EXCELLENT defensive coordinator. Les Miles' trick plays won't keep them in games this year like they have for the past few.
