Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC Week IX
El Gran Mono
As I sit down on this Thursday night, I am discovering that my football knowledge is lacking when it comes to the ACC. How can Clemson look so good and be down at the half to Va Tech. Oh well, they’ll put it together. The Hammer of Thor lock is at stake. As for the SEC games, UF-UGA should be a sleeper but Spurrier against Fulmer is always classic. And uh, Tubs plays his old team, that should be…uh…“great”…
Cuzzin’ Bailey
Hmm…how do I do a recap on a weekend after an off week? Well I guess I could talk about how awesome it was to see everyone (including the other Bourbon Boys) at our buddy’s wedding. Also I could mention that I went 6-2 last week picking games … now if I only gambled for real I probably would have made a shit load of money … oh well…oh yea … we all drank a lot this weekend, Texas dodged a bullet, Bama lost a heartbreaker, and oh yea this weekend is The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party!!! I understand that the UF and the UGA Presidents have asked ESPN and CBS to NOT refer to the game as such…what a bunch of FUCKING LOSERS! If everyone there is like me and most of my cronies, they don’t like being told what to do, and should react appropriately and drink more … What the hell does Machen (UF’s Prez) think he is doing? Doesn’t he realize that back in the early 90s we were throwing cups of piss on the UT fans? The school has curbed that behavior, and now he just wants to 86 drinking all together … I hate him with a passion… but I love the Gators!!!

This will be ultra-brief. I enjoyed meeting up with my Bboys cohorts at the Big Dumb Animal’s wedding. I don’t remember saying goodbye…hope you forgive me…

Its tough not to mention the sick amounts of southern, craptastic hair that will be flowing around Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. Additionally, the annual “Best Damn Tall Wallet” Competition will be held all weekend long. As for the game, Ole Piss sucks and the Plainsmen are shooting for a BCS birth. Tubs run up the score? No, no, never…

Speaking of cups of piss, Ole Miss is just fucking terrible … They were (as predicted) just smoked last week by Pseudo-Kansas and show no signs of progress.

Battle of the dorks. No other way to put it. I’m sure everyone will be partying at the expansive Duke library with coffee and crumpets in order to get that in that extra hour of studying time change allows. Puke almost beat Thug U last week but the Doremats bring another element to the table: ridiculous ability to cover on the road. No home library to fuck up your heads for the game but the temptation of the Duke extra hour studyfest does linger. I’m betting that the Doremat players will be too scared of perjurious strippers on the

Well lookie what we have here…the two biggest nerd-fest schools in the south and, aw how cute, they get to pway each other. This should be quite the battle. Both schools are fighting the calls of their invalidity in their respected conferences, in some capacity, by either coming up with big wins this year or playing (former) powerhouses really tough. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the Commodores are favored in this contest. They beat Georgia AT Georgia and Duke is fucking Duke…I say “go landlocked sailors”…

THE WORLD’S LARGEST COCKTAIL PARTY! UGA has nothing going for them these days. No QB’s, dropsie receivers, injured tailbacks, and a defense on the decline doesn’t equal a Dawg victory. In fact, they will take any win they can get down the stretch. The Mighty Gators aren’t so mighty on offense but with UGA’s shit QB’s they should take at least two to the house.

UF has been spanking UGA for like 16 years now (minus the Jamie Richardson incident and the Zooker firing year) … but as my dad always told me, you can never underestimate the Bulldogs. He was watching since the 60s and shit, basically when it was a real rivalry, and he’s always tries to keep me grounded when it comes to being over confident. So while I’m looking at the Vegasites and loving to see that 14 point spread, I’m also cautious cause I don’t want to get “Auburned” this weekend … of course I won’t be there, so it’s a guaranteed WIN!! … Sorry pop … I’m taking the points and I hope we make the UGA fans so upset they will be too pissed to light up their joints …

The Redskins, the Ravens, the Orioles, and ESPECIALLY the Terrapins. I heard their fans rival the Noles fans for “classiness.” The angst is intense, and they fuck your cars up too during games… but the chicks aren’t nearly as hot as FSU’s … that’s not a good thing. As much as I hate Bobby and his pedophile family, I have a feeling that the Criminoles will come up with a win this week, just to confuse the boosters even more …

I would rather put my money on a chimpanzee knife fight than bet on cracktastic Reggie Ball. Believe it or not, the Cokeheads still have a shot in the putrid ACC and this is somewhat of a “big” game. The question is whether the Cokeheads can put together a couple of quality hours in between yeyo benders to play some football. I really don’t think the Cokeheads will win but I just don’t see the Techsters laying six on anyone with reasonable talent. Especially after getting rolled by a Clemson team that SUCKS.

I mean this game is serious … UM also only has one loss in the conference and barring some crazy turn of events, the winner here will most likely face off against Clemson … or BC or Maryland or even the DEMON DEACONS….Vegas is totally “dissin” the hoodrats from Coral Gables … and I like it … Coker has no control over his team and any school whose president is that fucking ugly looking should lose their accreditation … sorry I don’t know where that came from … but let’s be honest, she looks like an ape…

Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC Week VIII
Malt Licker
So much for getting through the gauntlet unscathed…Luckily I didn’t make the trip, facing that drive Sunday knowing what happened the day before and knowing that it was the last day of lazy Malt Licker, I may have killed myself. That’s right Ol’ ML is now a…gasp…professional. No more going to class when I feel like it, no more boozing it up on the weekends. In a nutshell, my life is over. I hope it doesn’t affect my musings on this blog. On second thought, given my recent performances, that may be a good thing. I see I’m tied with Cuzzin’ Bailey. However, I settle for nothing less than 60%.

So according to the SEC, Chris Leak fumbled right? … I mean is that what they are saying? … Cause if so, they are fucking morons … anyways, that’s all I wanted to say about that … The atmosphere was intense in Auburn, the game sucked total ass … but whatever … SO, the Gators have an off week to prepare to protect their SEC East lead starting with Georgia …but this week, we have a few games that could be very interesting despite the double digit spreads … Bama/UT for instance is an establishment in the SEC so hopefully the Tide (who have apparently given up on the season) can come to play … anyways … prepare yourself for a lackluster version of “The Bourbon Boys”…

Mr. McFadden will have a big ass hog of a day. Nutt’s boys average over 230 yards on the ground, and the O’s Rebs give up more on the ground than the Polish army in 1940.

Yes, the Plainsmen did beat the Mighty Gators and I’m not going to make any excuses. But can the Plaismen continue to refuse to throw the ball downfield and expect to win the SEC? I doubt it.

I don’t know … I mean Vandy just went to Sanford Stadium and beat UGA for the first time in like 12 years when Gerry DiNardeaux was the head coach, you’d think they would get a little bit more respect at home against an average team. Well maybe USC isn’t just average. This game is probably going to be one of the better ones this week.

The Third Saturday in October. Great name for a rivalry. It really shows the originality that the typical Bama/Vol fan brings to the table. I have some great quotes regarding the Tide that I received from Plainmen’ fans last week but I’m going to wait until Iron Bowl week to release them. As for the Vols, they gobbled up UGA two weeks ago much like Fulmer takes down boneless chicken wings. Ainge is red hot and the running game appears to be better with Foster back in the lineup. No one wants to play UT right now, no one. John Parker Average seems to be the only option in big games for the Tide these days because Ken Darby fell into a black hole. The Vols will give up some points but there is no stopping their stud tandem of wideouts. Is it bad if Shula’s plays are written in crayon?

Hypocrisy and Hatred of Fun
The real funny part lies in Generalisimo Shalala's quest to root alcohol from Miami's campus. Accept multiple offenders? No problem. Slap on the wrists for embarrassing the university? No problem. Drink a beer legally with friends on campus? Absolutely unacceptable.
And yes, I'm bitter. Its the whole anti-college life mentality that is taking over everywhere, including my beloved University of Florida. Where does it stop, piss tests every Monday morning? I'm tired of elitist assholes like Shalala and Machen.
October 16, 2006
To the University Community:
Saturday's on-field melee has no place at the University of Miami.
What happened Saturday night at the Orange Bowl was outrageous. Regardless of who started it, this was an embarrassing display of unsportsmanlike behavior. Fortunately there were no injuries.
FIU President Mitch Maidique and I talked by phone shortly after the incident on Saturday night. We both expressed deep disappointment and apologized to each other on behalf of our institutions.
What was envisioned as an opportunity for two hometown teams to provide an evening of athletic competition resulted in a brawl that brought embarrassment to the teams, our universities, and our community.
The University of Miami simply will not tolerate or condone this type of behavior. Period. We expect the best from our students. Indeed we hold all of them to a high standard of personal conduct.
The one bright light is that the thousands of students from both institutions who attended the game behaved in exemplary fashion and kept their seats and their heads.
On Sunday the Atlantic Coast Conference conducted an independent review of the incident. As a result of that review, last night the ACC and the University of Miami announced that 13 student-athletes have been suspended for the game this coming weekend.
The ACC maintains rigorous behavioral and academic standards for student-athletes. We are satisfied with their decision.
Sincerely,
Donna E. Shalala

Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC – Week VII
Well in my return to the Swamp ’06, we celebrated another fan-fucking-tastic time. It made me remember the good ol’ days of college … sometimes I wish I were back, most of the time I realize, however, that I doubt I could handle it these days haha … Anyways, another realization that occurred to me was why we generally stayed away from the Salty Dog on the Friday nights before games…that place was like a zoo…a fucking claustrophobic’s nightmare….anyways…the game was phenomenal, and now I’m rolling the dice and heading to Aww-burn this weekend to see if the Gators can continue the trend…GO GATORS!!!

The Malt Licker would love to make an appearance on the Plains. However, he is starting a new career on Monday and feels it would be unwise to start it off after a bender-weekend.

I don’t like the fact that Vegas seems to think this is a new Bulldog team…are they fucking stupid? … Anyways, Vandy lost to Ole Miss last week so I’m not saying they are going to upset Georgia IN Athens, but I do think they will be in this game longer than they should …

Wow…so much for that vaunted UGA defense. Nice 51 bomb…I wonder if it harkens back memories to Spur-Dog dropping the hammer on them and Ray Goff. Had the pRicht not been the benefit of 2 kick returns, it would have been as ugly as that time. As it stands now, I think the Dawgs might be supremely pissed off, and they’ll take it out on the Doremats.

I had a sneaky suspicion that the Vols were a lot better than people thought and that UGA was really overrated. The only thing worse than the Dawgs passing game is Richt’s haircut. Please tell me how Floppy Stafford is better than TEBOW (must be spelled in all caps, lest ye anger the TEBOW). JT III is absolutely terrible and Firecrotch isn’t any better. Good thing the Dawgs have some stud tailbacks or else they probably would have lost a couple games before the UT debacle. As for Vandy, they pretty much have nothing going for them except a decent tailback with a hyphenated name. UGA will force the issue with their defense, special teams and all around bad haircuts in order to cover up the points.

Bama is an enigma wrapped in a riddle rapped in an enigma. They can look absolutely fantastic for two seconds and then almost lose to Vanderbilt the next. Ole Miss has bookended victories around four terrible losses. For some reason, the Crimson Slack Tide can’t seem to put anyone away and the running game has gone nonexistent. All of those things spell no cover.

Can the impossible trip through the gauntlet continue???? The Plainsmen are coming off a major beating at home, and the beloved Gators are coming off a huge and emotional victory against a “more talented” team at home. Seems like the set-up game of all set-up games. However, the Gators have an extremely solid defense that trumps all. I honestly don’t believe that

I must admit, I really wish the Plainsmen were undefeated. But instead they decided not to play any defense for an entire game and somehow expect to win. So here’s how this game goes, The Plainsmen can’t throw and want to run the ball real bad, Florida can stop anyone from running the ball, the Plainsmen defense is weak, Leak-TEBOW-Wynn-Baker-Caldwell-Pastor Cornelius-PERCY! and the most important matchup, 2/3 of the Bourbon Boys with the Gator krew in tow versus the pussy ass, tall walleted, alcohol hating town that is AWBUUUUNN. I can’t wait to take my seat in JERDAN-Hare Stadium, stare down the Bobby Lowder wannabes and destroy their season. Pray for a 30 knot wind bitches.

The Boobs Bowl. Chuck Amato’s vs Bobby Bowden’s. NC State is usually a pretty average team. I take that back, they are usually an underachieving team. But something happens when they play FSU…its like Amato’s man boobs have special powers against the Nole$. The Criminoles have no ability to run and aren’t that good at passing. The good part is that NC State isn’t good at those things either. I’m basing my prediction on superior thugs.

NC State lost to Alcorn …or Akron or who gives a shit … that’s how important that game was to me … all I know is this: NC State lost to that shitty team AT HOME, then beat BC …BC beat Clemson, Clemzin in turn beat FSU … there is something to be said when there is that much conformity between teams in a conference … either A) they are all that good that one team is going to HAVE to lose (see SEC)… or B) all of them are that awful that one of them HAS to win … I think that’s the case in the ACC these days… they all suck crank to the point that fucking Wake Forest is the only undefeated team in there … I love how FSU is playing Thursday games now … that pretty much solidifies your status as a bush league team … I fucking hate the Noles …GO PACK!

The Worldwide Leader has decided that it would be absurd to plant Gameday at a spot other than God’s Country. Kirk gets to show some lucky coed patrons at the Swamp his kirk, Fowler can show off his yachting technique, and Corso can show off his new eyelift. This is the biggest game at the Swamp since I was a Senior (5th year) in 2001. The Gators are home underdogs, as everyone seems to expect the Tigers D to hold us back. The key to the game, with Wynn gimpy, is whether Percy Mutha-Fuckin’ Harvin can play at full strength. If he can, and provides 2 or 3 big plays, the Gators will win.
