Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC Week IV

Cuzzin Bailey
This is a great week for College Football. Our selections involve 3 of the plethora of National Championship scenarios that exist as of last weekend. If Bama loses, that could also spell trouble for UF no matter what happens this weekend or in the SECCG. If UF loses to the Noles this weekend, then Bama’s possibilities remain unchanged, but UF has no shot at the NC game. Oklahoma is looking to win, force a three way tie, and leave their fate in the hands of the voters. Texas may get bypassed even with the win over OU in the Red River Rivalry a few weeks ago. Sucks if that happens. You know what else sucks? An all Big 12 national championship game…it could happen sports fans. But now that let’s go to the Home Depot UF/FSU quick points…UF is flying high, and FSU is coming off a huge win. Since when did beating Maryland constitute a “huge win”? Well, ever since the Noles have become marginalized. If FSU plays the best they’ve played all year, and we play half as good as we can, this will just be a 2 score game in favor of the Good Guys…

El Gran Mono
Rivalry Week, doesn’t get any better than that. The week itself says one thing to me: UF-FSU. I’ve been to a bunch of these games but I have never been to a Gator W at Joke Shamble. I guess that’s a good that I’m not going because people have accused me of fucking things up on that note. Perhaps the scene of friends and family at Tommy M’s is the way to go. I imagine that’s always the way to go. Let’s do it…

Gobble Gobble!!! It looks like it is a fight for second place between me and the Monkey. Cuz’ has run away with the title. I can’t believe another regular season is almost in the books. Football season flies by. We actually have some decent games after last week’s snooze-fest. The Gators travel up to and west on I10 to Tallacrappy to take on the hated Noles. There are rumors that Bubby will announce that this is his last game at Ron Zook Field. Normally this would make me worried, but after witnessing his latest oral presentation skills (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIn17ufE7ZM), not so much!!!!

Mississippi State at Ole Miss (-13.5) 12:30

The Battle of the GOLDEN EGG!!! This may be my favorite of all “rivalry games.” Could there be a bigger contrast between the two fan bases? Ole Miss fans are prim and proper, fancy themselves as the Hah-vud of the South. Whereas MSU fans are unapologetic rednecks. In 1926 the former MSU (Mississippi A&M) had been dominating the series, but a 7-6 Ole Miss victory led to some of their fans rushing the field and trying to tear down the goal posts. A&M fans “didn’t take too kindly” and a fight broke out. Some A&M fans defended the goal posts with wooden chairs, and several injuries were reported. The students, in genteel fashion, vowed that this would never happen again, and thus was born the “Golden Egg.” It was designed to cool the heat of battle and replace goalposts as the winners’ reward. It took the shape of the older form of the football, which closely resembles today’s rugby ball, or an egg. I predict that most readers will find the story of the birth of the Golden Egg much more interesting than this game, I know I will

WOOOHOOO! Big game folks, the real question that’s on everybody’s mind this week is, how many pick 6s will Jarrett Lee throw this weekend?? On second thought, a better question is, will he even start? I wish this were more like the NFL in that we would totally know who is starting this weekend. LSU’s back up back up started out strong last weekend against Ole Miss but quickly showed his stripes (get it, he’s a “tiger”)…ugh God that was terrible. Anyways, Arkansas lost to Miss State last weekend, they clearly blow…the question will be who will play worse and let the other team hang around…

Good Ol Fashioned Hate. Does anyone that likes Georgia actually read this blog? Lot of hate, lot of shit talk. And from the there it only gets worse. Shane Shitty Hair is going pro. Knowhson going pro. Bad news dog fans. Can you even name the backup QB? Earlier this year I was rightfully criticized for hammering Ga Tech’s wing T. Johnson is a stud coach and he’ll stick to his guns in this game. Unfortunately, Tech’s D is gonna have a tough time stopping Shane/Knowshon’s last chance. I’ll take the points though and bet on Richt spending too much time in the tanning booth this week.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarn Bowl!!!! The Plainsmen currently carry a 6 game winning streak and an awful record into this week’s Iron Bowl. The Tide roll in as the #1 ranked team in the nation for the first time in a long time. During the Bear heyday Bama managed to reel off 9 in a row, and desperately need to snap Auburn’s winning streak to stay in the hunt for a national title. On paper, this should be a mismatch. Auburn’s quarterback play has been awful all year. Who would have thought they’d be longing for Brandon Cox. As an aside and an illustration of how old I now feel. I remember being 5 or 6 years old and my uncle, a former bama football player, replaying the famous game winning field goal by Van Tiffin. Now his son is the current kicker for the Tide. They won’t need him to win whis game

FSU’s defense is extremely underrated and UF has the weapons to take care of that. If you watched last year’s game. Expect a lot of the same thing. Tebow going nuts. Percy blowing up. FSU sucking. How’s five in a row sound, bitch?

Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC Week XIII

Malt Licker
Good lord, I haven’t seen cocks abused like that since I was in Lorena Bobbitt’s bedroom. Oh wait, that wasn’t me, nevermind. Our Gators are looking so good it is scary. In fact, I am hoping for a letdown this week against the mighty Citadel. Maybe we’ll only win by 50. It was great making the trek up to Gville for my last home game of the season. Time flies so fast. A lackluster slate of games this week, as half the conference is taking the week off.

El Gran Mono
Not a lot going on in college football this week outside of Tejas Tech-Oklahoma and lethargy has attacked the Bourbon Boys. Lack of “reply all” emails has caused internal strife. As usual, I am to blame but I’m sure its nothing a few hundred Coors Lights over Thanksgiving break can’t cure. Here come the myriad of off weeks and crapbag games.

Cuzzin Bailey
Last weekend seems so long ago. Its like all I hear now is how lame the Gators are for scheduling the Citadel, and how its an embarrassment and “how can they get away with that shit?” Its hilarious how quickly people forget how great UF is playing and how half of them think we are the best team. How no one remembers that we played MIAMI in the second week of the season. I hate those people. Of course personally I find it stupid that we are play the Citadel, but I can say what I want about my team cause I really care about them (the “only you can talk shit about your family” rule), professional talking heads are stupid. Oh yea, almost Thanksgiving. But then exam time…yikes.

Tennessee at Vanderbilt (-3), 12:30

Vanderbilt is favored this week. Stop the fucking presses. This is the kind of scenario that would happen in Bizzaro world. Vandy is finally bowl eligible, first time since 1982, and the Vols have no shot. It would absolutely absurd of me to not pick the ‘Dores. Right? I mean its clear that Phat Phil is content on mailing it in the rest of the year, so he can live the good life of sitting around eating McRibwiches talking about how he got screwed mumbling to himself how he should have beaten Spurrier one more time HAHA. Sorry that’s actually pretty sad. Poor bastard. Anyways, as I said, its pretty certain that the Vols don’t stand a chance to Vandy…right?

Of course they probably have a better defense than we’ve seen…you know what? I’m doing it, I’m looking ahead, against Coach’s orders…I think that’s a pretty safe move this week. I’m just glad there isn’t a line so I don’t have to determine how much we are going to destroy them by…I’m sure the Bulldogs are just going to be anxious to get their half a mill, and bounce out of Gainesville.

LSU almost lost to Troy. Their QB has thrown 7 pick sixes and has hair like your typical Ole Miss Epsilon semi-moron. Their defense can’t stop the pass. But they do know how to get hammered before a game. So they got that going for them. The Rebs have a pretty decent passing attack but like most of the season, they will lose in another heartbreaker. Does a person get any comfort after leaving Louisiana and heading into Mississippi? Or is that the moment when you finally decide to kill yourself?

Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC Week XII

Cuzzin Bailey
The Gators have clinched the East and there is still so much to do. They can’t look past the Gamecocks this weekend, they can look past Citadel, and then they have to concentrate on Free Shoes University. THEN they play Bama in Hot-lanta, THEN play for the National Championship! Oh wait, I just got a memo from Urban, “no more talk about the future, just focus on the next week’s opponent.” Riiiiiight. That’s fine and good for the players, but the absurdly aware fan is always looking at the big picture. Gators giving 21 points this weekend, speaking of absurd. Hold on…I just had another vision. Another big win? Wait for it, damn that was the TV, the CMAs, ah Carrie Underwood. Anyways, the BCS has a big opportunity to get bailed out again this year damnit. Oh well, if UF makes it to the championship game, it’ll be hard to complain.

Malt Licker
Pretty bluke-ish (bogus and fluke) slate of games this week. Auburn/UGA can’t even garner the ESPN night game. When was the last time the 3 Dave’s did that game? This week is so…weak…that ESPN Gameday is covering the Hampton FAMU game. Will Barack be there?

El Gran Mono
Suddenly, all is right in college football. It stands to be the Big 12 winner versus the SEC winner in the only meaningful bowl game. Nothing could screw that up, except for actually playing the remainder of the schedule. I really hate the BCS, so I’m hoping only the winner of the SEC makes it and there is a huge controversy.

Georgia at Auburn (+8.5), 12:30
CB
The oldest rivalry in the South! Well that’s it here’s my pick. Just kidding of course. Aubs has 5 losses, and played Tennessee-Martin close last weekend. Hell even if it was regular Tennessee that score would be inexcusable this year. Tuberville is probably on the pseudo hot seat, with Bobby Lowder looking for a light. They say that Auburn just doesn’t have the “talent” this year; that would make for at least 3 decent (2 good) teams in the SEC that don’t have it this year personnel-wise, and that is ridiculous. I mean don’t get me wrong, I’m glad when these shitty Tigers are playing like shit, but they are representing the SEC so sometimes its embarrassing. You know like that drunk of a cousin you have…sure he’s a dick and you hate him, but he’s still family. Huh? So UGA just snuck out of Lexington with a W last Saturday. Embarrassing. Of course the Dawgs will win this week, but with everyone else knowing their season is over, if they do, this could be closer than it should be.

I just watched it again, the clip of clips…Jarvis Moss’ right paw that saved a season. It’s that time of year again, and SpurDog says he has his best team thus far in Columbia. To say I was anything other than terrified would be an understatement. However, the Gators can accomplish all things through Tebow, who strengthens them. (Lick. 4:16) I know I am probably going to hell for that, but it is the truth. With that said, 3 TD’s is way too much to lay to the Cocks.

Let me tell you about a statistic that, if you haven’t heard it yet, will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up. The LSU QB has thrown 6 interceptions that were returned FOR TDs THIS YEAR!!! I just read an article about this other day where he was referred to as the “Benedict Arnold, or the Hanoi Jane” of the team. I love that analogy. He is the guy that is ratting out his players to the NVA. They trust him with secret notes to bring back to the US (the Ball) and he hands it over the Vietcong (the opposing team)…wait a second, one of those was for the Gators, this similarity has gone awry. HAHA, Jarrett Lee, a traitor. That’s funny. This game is freaking ridiculous, about as shitty as playing the Citadel next we….you know what? I praise LSU for having the guts to schedule a team of this caliber this late in the season. It takes balls. Yea AMERICA!

Bourbon Boys Pick The SEC Week XI

El Gran Mono
COMRADES! What a week of highs and lows! Up with the Gators, down with the free market! The Gators hammered UGA and seemed to make everything right in the world. However, this was followed by BARACK! winning and nationalizing thousands of my tax dollars while simultaneously scrapping the Constitution in favor of “fairness.” Even worse, one of my favorite authors, Michael Crichton died. I guess you take the good with the bad. Another bad note, I’ve been on a brutal slide in the picks. I’m going bold this week, mixing in some Ayn Rand and some upset specials. We’ll see if that’s the CHANGE! I need.

Malt Licker
In the spirit of the coming Administration, and to prepare our readers for the institution of the Orwellian “Fairness” doctrine, the Malt Licker is going to personally provide “an alternative viewpoint” and ghost-write for a fan of the much-maligned Big Ten. But not without first saying how great it was to smash Georgia.

Cuzzin’ Bailey
I can’t tell you what a relief it is that the Gators trounced UGA last week. I have to admit it was causing a little grief in my household, well right up until Friday night when I had a vision. Some call it a drunken delusion; I choose to call it a vision. I had a cold most of last week so I was a little lightheaded. Some friends came in town for the Cocktail Party and so I felt the need to throw back a few brewjacks Friday night. In the course of the evening I had my share and proceeded to hit the hay a bit after 1 am. (Not too late, but I can drink fast so…). Anyways, I lay my head down on my pillow and I thought to myself. “(Cuzzin Bailey), I can feel a blow out coming.” Some people, in my situation, may have considered that a sign to go pray to the porcelain God, but not me…When I awoke the next morning I expressed this thought to my comrades but no one believed me. Looks like in this case, drinking WAS the answer…Oh yea, RIP Michael Crichton, RIP Capitalism…

Years and years ago, people joked that Steve Spurrier was going to run Phat Phil right out of Knox-vegas because of how badly the Gators owned UT. The semi-prophetic comments came to fruition this week, as the Vols fired Fulmer on the heels of a humiliating loss at South Carolina. Basically, what I’m telling you is, if these pathetic Gamecocks can drive the nail in the coffin for a seasoned veteran coaching a (once) elite team in the SEC East, then what hope in holy hell does Arkansas have this week? They are terrible, awful, worthless, and they are coached by a guy who would better deal his kids soccer match if he thought it was more lucrative to watch the T-ball game down the street. He is already headed to his worst season ever as a head coach…maybe the Ol’ Ball Coach has it in him for one more kill…

This guy is a total badass when it comes to coaching and if they (and by they I of course mean Bobby Lowder) scorn Tuberville, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he boarded an orange and white jet right after the Bama game and landed in Knoxville. How lucky am I that I got to talk about two of the biggest scumbags in the SEC this week (Lowder and Petrino)?!

Nothing can understate how huge this game is to both teams. The stadium will harbor hate for both coaches because LSU fans are not even behind their own guy Les Miles. The game itself will feature two very talented defensive/offensive lines, two subpar QBs, a bevy of stud WRs (only one of them on Bama) and tons of overall speed. The two difference makers will be LSU's homefield advantage and Bama's one dimensional attack. LSU will force Bamer to pass after they sell out to stop the run and I'm fully counting on a JPW meltdown after he takes a couple of hits. Bama's conventional running attack doesn't match up well to the strength of the LSU D-line. Both UGA and UF destroyed LSU by exploiting the perimeter of the Cajun defense and then throwing over the top. Bama doesn't have the same kind of attack and Saban typically likes to play ball control and let his huge O-Line wear you down. For LSU on offense, the key is keeping Bama's defense on the field multiple sets of downs. The huge fat ass they count on to stop the run tires easily and LSU has an excellent line and stud TBs that can take advantage of that weakness. Will Miles abandon the run as usual and play into the Saban trap? For once, I'll say no.

You Southerners are so impetuous, is it the hot weather? We stick with our coaches until they are convicted of DUIs (Gary Moeller), are near death (JoePa), actually die (Randy Walker), or lose to Michigan all the time (John Cooper). We do not like to shake things up too much. Rich Rodriguez’ performance in Ann Arbor is the case in point. His crazy spread option will never work. We grow our grass 6 inches high and all that running and stuff will not work. If you are going to do an option, there must be 2 fullbacks and 3 tight ends at all times.

The majority of the pix are of the UGA side of the stadium in Jax circa middle of the 3rd quarter, EMPTY. It was quite the site. Well I heard it looks like most Jags games, but that is beside the point. Anyways, with that huge win, the Gators have a chance to clinch the SEC East this weekend by defeating a pretty tough Vandy team. I have to give them respect this week even though I hate them, cause I’m trying to follow Urban’s lead. (Is it really that big of a stretch to blindly follow one man’s advice and rhetoric?

By the time we find out whether they have a good body or not, its too late and we are “pot-committed.” I love the accents too. It is much better than the “oooooh sure” and “don’t ya knows” we get up here.

Mississippi State – OFF

If you could spend an off week anywhere, I have to believe Starkvegas has to top the list places NOT TO GO.

Oklahoma State at Tejas Tech (-3), 8
EGM
Tejas Tech now enters the gauntlet that Tejas was unable to get through. The Cowboys have a high powered attack and have even been known to play a little defense. They get strong QB play for Zac Robinson and have an effective running game. However, Tejas Tech is pretty studly at home as proven last week. Harrell to Crabtree is quite a hard combination to stop and the Red Raiders actually have a defense this year. This game has trap written all over it for the highly ranked Techsters but they play fantastic at home and will pull away at some point. I really hope Mike Leach goes to Clemson rather than Tennessee, life would be even tougher if he was in the SEC.
