Florida will beat Ole Miss. Mark my word.
And this is bold of me- I never do this.
They have the corners to shut down UMiss' big play ability but do they have the offense?
Did vh3 play after he hurt his back? Florida has to have him
Vandy has one of the worst offenses in college football. You saw what happened tonight at home. The swamp is craving for a huge win against a "really good team" at home- I just have a feeling they beat North Ms
They have the defense to do it. I'm not sure they have the offense.
I'm sure they have them circled on the calendar.Quote:

BAMA@UGA and UMN @UF (a month ago I would have included UPIG/UT)
Vandy is improved. Just not enough. The box score of their games with UGA and UNM are similar.
Revenge for The Tebow "We won't lose the rest of the season" game??? That would be sweet!Quote:

But, I head all this past week that NMU had "arrived"*****Quote:

The most impressive thing about the last 2 weeks has been HOW they won. At Kentucky they got a lead and went a little conservative on offense but clamped down on defense. This week they needed the offense to make some plays to win and they did. QB Will Grier was the definition of clutch going 5-5 on 4th down.
I'm not sure I'm prepared to call for the upset as I haven't dived in to the match-ups yet but I am comfortable saying this game will be a monster atmosphere in The Swamp and they are playing with a ton of confidence. This was a game preseason that looked like an easy win for the Rebels but the complexion has changed tremendously.
Agree beast. Bears will struggle to run the ball, Kelly will be under duress and this will be the best secondary bears have seen. It just sets up for a really tough matchup for bears.
I officially picked Florida to win the game against TN in my Pigskin Picks in the Commercial Dispatch. I did really well this week in college games. I think I went 5 for 5Quote:

OM can spin it any way they want, but they don't have the defense they had last year. Not counting the FCS team, they're giving up almost 27 ppg this year, to last year's 16 (regular season, not counting FCS). And as flashy as they've looked on offense, they've also shown that they struggle to drive the length of the field against decent defenses. If Florida can score in the 20's and avoid turnovers, I think they win.Quote:

Trap game is correct. If they escape UF, they will be focused on a possible Game Day match up with AM the next week. Not Tiger High.Quote:

Memphis's entire season is focused in around this game. They believe they can win.
Too bad their defense is a personification of the Maginot Line....Quote:

I saw Memphis give up like 600 yards to Cincy the other night. That defense isn't beating Mississippi. They will keep it close for a half or so, but unless the Bears trip over the dick, they will win by two or three TD's.
As someone who follows Memphis sports almost as closely as ours, I wasn't giving it a chance in hell prior to this weekend, but I now think it could happen if the stars align just right. Memphis would beat Vandy this year.Quote:

If Florida can keep it within a score and commit to the run, I think they have a decent shot. Not just ready to call an upset though
Personally, I think this is wishful thinking... besides Georgia the East is just horrible guys... But here's to hoping for the upset!
Considering the worst team in the east took OM to the 4th quarter in Oxford, I don't think it's wishful thinking.Quote:

Everyone laughed at me when I called a close win over vandy too. This will be even closer.
Btw... You sure take up for OM
Womack was the best O-Lineman to ever play at state. His down field blocking in the BYU game was a thing of beauty. If I was a high school coach I would show that play before every game to my O-Lineman.Quote:

Haha and once again my objectivity has brought out the "you're a troll" comment. That's laughable. I just call it like I see it. I hope you don't bet on games... I'm not taking up for OM I am just still of the opinion that outside of Georgia the East is just really bad... And no, Jack, it's not a slam.. Like you said one of the best O lineman to ever play at state.. Also, beats out Pig Prather for the best nickname..Quote:

Or else he would have the same opinion as you. He has been more of a minority voice on calling for an upset for them against Florida for a while. And that's kind of a cop out. Someone calls someone else out and they go to to the I'm just being real or seeing it how I see it or seeing things for what they really are. Those statements are nothing more than your perception. It's no more the truth than his perception. The truth, as always, lie elsewhere.Quote:
