Al Davis had a long, multi-faceted history in the NFL...
… and was one of the most formative influences on the development of pro football on the entire west coast.
Being a college football fan first and foremost, however, my most vivid memory of him will be that, between him and Lane Kiffin, Al Davis came out looking like the more calm, rational, and sane one.

Absolutely correct.
Whatever deficiencies Davis had (and we’re all flawed), his criticism and jettisoning of Lane Kiffin was was certainly validated by everyone in the entire known Universe, except for that nutty contingent down in Knoxville.
RIP, Al Davis…you ol’ buzzard.

The NFL just got a little more boring, thats for sure.

I can't possibly be pulling for Gene Chizik again......
But I really didn’t like Bobby Petrino’s stay in the state of Georgia (big Falcon Fail), so I have to pull for Auburn this week. Agghhh, two weeks in a row. Dammit!
Coaches come and go, but Auburn is still Auburn.

Please win this game, so that Boise can have at least one ranked team on its schedule.
TCU has betrayed us, so you have to carry the torch. The most worrying thing is that Georgia hasn’t had a good recent history at Lane Kiffin Probation Stadium.
Everybody on Gameday picked Georgia
We’re screwed.

Here's a live game blog post from the SCe game...
Garcia is hungover. I can tell by the swagger and seeing him hungover before.
Also he just under threw a guy standing ten yards in front of him standing still.
Garcia is #NOTGIVINGASHIT
And that's different from his normal gameday routine because...

I'm not too much
They’ve played nobody. And they have Va Tech, Miami, and Clemson leading up to us. I’m as worried about Tech as I’d imagine Florida fans are about us. They might win, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Cool story bro:
Sir Big Spur is not actually an official mascot for South Carolina; their only school-sponsored mascot is Cocky.
The Sir Big Spur thing got started by some fans (SCAR’s version of the Seiler family) who starting bringing a chicken to their baseball game tailgates for years, and who at some point were encouraged to bring the chicken into the stadium as an unofficial mascot. From that point, he was the unofficial baseball mascot for years, and the family started bringing him to the football tailgates, as well.
The chicken is now allowed inside the stadium and is given a special spot on the field, but the University of South Carolina does not officially endorse Sir Big Spur, nor do they compensate his handlers for his care and upkeep.

And if I'm not mistaken, his handler goes by the nickname of...
Gamecock Jesus.

Truly a majestic yet terrifying beast.

I was thinking just ugly, with that giant head on a long neck
and why is he stretching? Y’all don’t actually play that thing do you? Then again, he might be an improvement over your strikers before Adebayor (who will quit caring soon enough).
http://sportsandgrits.com/
Can't agree with Ade
Can’t disagree with your other statement.
Sacrificing goats, chugging Maker's Mark, and walking underneath The Arch.
Although I'm convinced Crouch is still moonlighting as Chirpy.

We'll see...
Adebayor is good, and when he’s interested, he’s great. But his history shows that interest won’t last long.
http://sportsandgrits.com/
Perhaps
He’s the only show in town for now. If we bring in somebody else during the January transfer window (which I have no faith in us doing) it might become a problem.

That, however, is only a matter of time.

Just had a fun conversation with a buddy of mine
Said Tech’s schedule so far has been harder than Georgia’s. Typical delusion… I guess stereotypes exist for a reason.

Is waaaaaaaay harder than

Connor Shaw has been pretty unimpressive, as well.
Of course, he couldn’t beat out Stephen Garcia without the G-man imploding all over himself… so, yeah.
I heard Stephen Garcia killed Al Davis.
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
Well, indirectly, at least.
Davis was reported to be incredibly distraught over his last few days because the Raiders were doing well, and therefore would not be drafting high enough to get the #1 QB on their draft board (which was, obviously, Garcia).
Meanwhile, back in Bon Temps, Louisiana...
Jamarcus Russell just toasted Al Davis with some purple drank.

Not really.
It’s more of a zombie version of itself now. They had to tear down the upper deck because it had been condemned, and the field is now artificial turf.

UAB gets a player in space and it gains yardage.

-Erk Russell
Whoops, scratch that.
UAB is in field goal range.
So, you know, there’s a 10% chance it won’t be scoreless at halftime.
And on cue...
… UAB gets 3 points! (Not in the soccer sense of the term, though… yet.)
Your halftime score: UAB 3, Mississippi State 0.
I don't worry because Dan Mullen is a genius.

Kentucky football is so bad...
… not only would they fail to win the Sun Belt conference this year, they might not even win the Southern Conference.
Their defense is only mediocre.
But their offense. Ooooo. Their offense. That’s some bad stuff, there.
True...
… but I’m betting that if they played Georgia Southern, the final score might be GSU 7, UK 0.
You'd almost have to try

I really don't know why UK even tried to score there
they would have been better off just running the ball 3 times and letting the clock expire
EDSBS analyzed UK's last game from the standpoint they called the "Spike Factor."
The “spike factor” is what percentage of plays the offense would have been better off just spiking the ball.
I don’t remember the exact number, but Kentucky’s spike factor against LSU was something like 20%.
And fumbles it to them with :23 left in the half at their own 23.
this is hilariously bad

Andre Ware, astute as always...
… says he cannot wait to call next week’s SEC Network game between Mississippi State and Kentucky.
That would be Mississippi State, who is currently losing to UAB 3-0 at the half, and Kentucky, who almost couldn’t beat Western Kentucky.
You know what? I’m looking forward to that game, too, because nobody will be watching that game, so no one will be subjected to the announcing incompetence that is Andre Ware.

is Howardesque (as in Desmond) in it’s Musburgian banality.

If that is true, they probably got killed.
and that’s a weird bowl – same conference.

The problem is K State is in Hutchinson, which is just a couple of hours away.
And there is no reason to visit that city.
In Wichita, we have the WSU Shockers, who have a decent baseball team and stadium, and are trying to get better at basketball. I would support my local team, but they wear yellow and black – so I don’t adorn their clothing.

Defense is frightening. We really lucked out on missing them and Bama this year!

Unfortunately, Sakerlina avoids both of them as well
Gonna have to hope that either Arkansas or da Gators give them their 2nd loss.

The LSU/Bama game...
might just open up a black hole or something. It’ll be epic.

Obviously lots of time left in this game
But as far as I’m concerned, ‘Bama and LSU are 1A and 1B and there’s a hell of a drop off to #3 in the country. Oklahoma may be the only team in the country that can play with these two.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
Oklahoma has a hard time holding onto the ball at the end of the game. And until this game, a lack of second half O.
"The ball ain't heavy." - Herschel Walker
And to be honest with you
I wouldn’t be surprised if Boise could play with Bama or LSU in a bowl scenario. I think too many people believe that they just cakewalk over bad competition (somewhat true), but they blow everybody out. It’s not like they’re squeaking by those guys. I think they could give either team a game in a bowl situation.
http://hobnailboot.wordpress.com/
I can see your point -
but the one thing BSU hasnt faced is teams that would put pain on Kellen Moore, and Bama/LSU would hit him often and hard, which would change their game dramatically.
"The ball ain't heavy." - Herschel Walker
They also haven't faced a BCS Team with a competent OC
Sacrificing goats, chugging Maker's Mark, and walking underneath The Arch.
OU would get it's teeth kicked in by either of these teams.
This OU team is just like the Sooners of the last 5 years. They can beat up on the terrible Big 12 competition but crumble against good physical teams. Also the continued reassessment of FSU’s ability is making that “quality” win worth nothing.

If you are ever in the ATL and looking for great ribs, these are my top spots:
(1) Thompson Bros – in Marietta so a bit of trek, but so worth it
(2) DBA – In the trendy Va-Hi area, but some great ribs as well as sides.

Good ribs are harder to find in the ATL than one would think it should be.
Thanks for the recommendations.
By the way, Fat Matt’s is totally overrated, IMO.
Dont be putting down Fatt Matt! Its a good standby, not the best, but a good go to.
And Matt and Kelly are friends of mine and gave me keys to their mansion back in the day – full bar, swimming pool, huge tv (back when that was rare). Matt is also plugged into the Atlanta blues scene and does a lot to support it.

I think BBQ can very day to day at any decent place.
I have had great BBQ at Fat Matt’s, and I have average. It could be the meat, a bad day, bad smoke, new hires. It’s a tough business where consistency is so important.
AuditDawg, please tell me you have ate at the Colonade, which is just around the corner.
"The ball ain't heavy." - Herschel Walker
I'll agree that it's a serviceable standby.
But if that’s all it is, then it’s overrated. It’s constantly billed as the “best BBQ in Atlanta” by people who don’t know what BBQ should be.
Those are yankees writing for their yankee rags. We get it, they don't.
Now if I can only get Matt to let me borrow his Cabin for a week. ) Also,I think the quality went down as te massive fanfare went up, thats a lot of food to sling every day.

Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win.

That would have been much more satisfying if it happened with Urban as the coach.

That ladies and gents, is why I watch LSU and hope Les Miles stays there -
the level of crazy is just so much fun. It’s a box of chocolates!

That doesn't sound like AC/DC
Sounds like a cheap rip-off of Hell’s Bells.

8 minutes to go KS 24, Mizzou 10 after a TD, KState returns they kickoff.

If Agnes Scott played 'em
they’d have a chance.

1st and bomb into double coverage - dumb, dumb, dumb. With a 3rd string QB against one of the best CBs in the nation.
Just dumb Florida. Stupid dumb. That was a Bobo call.
"The ball ain't heavy." - Herschel Walker
Let me go on some more about this:
This is exactly the crap Bobo does that I have been so pissed at for years. Bad QB throwing 1st and bomb against a good team without setting anything up. Just stupid. LSU’s bomb came after setting up the play action and on 2nd down.

I will say this...
we’ve been better at just picking up consistent positive yardage on 1st down (when we’re actually playing out of the “I” and lining up Figgins, etc).
"If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose."
-Erk Russell
I was going to pen that at some point
We havent been doing the 1st bomb much lately. My question is, why did it take 3 years to adjust?

I'd like to think
this blog was the catalyst for change. Maybe he’s been lurking ;-)

That flat route to Figgins out of the I
Feels like we’re stealing when they run that.

It is stealing
when Murray actually, you know, completes the pass.

LSU is a good team, but they aren't the machine that Alabama is.
The crystal ball will reside in T-Towns Walmart come January.
"The ball ain't heavy." - Herschel Walker
Either way, I think we can all agree...
… that the winner of the LSU/Alabama game will be playing in the BCS National Championship Game and the loser will be playing in the Sugar Bowl.
Why on earth is Charlie asking this young man to throw 20 yards further than he is capable of?

If we were
to wind up playing LSU in Atlanta, I wouldn’t necessarily ignore our chances. They’d be favored, and rightly so…but LSU is far from perfect.

Mizzou scores, 17 MO, 24 KState, KState has the ball with 4 to go.

UM has come back
on VT, 35-31 with 2:00 to go.

KState converts another 3rd down with 3 minutes to go and looking to win.
