:tu Gig`Em.

I am hoping that my Ags can show some fight and not get too torn up this year. I am not a fan of the move to the SEC, but it is an exciting time to be a fan. New AD, new coach, and new conference.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Jeff, do you have reasons you would share about why the move is not good for you?
I am excited about the expansion and the hand grenade it throws into the leagues and
what is coming with the Big 12, etc. I am more excited about the Aggies than the Tigers,
but I will learn to love em like I do Vandy. I agree it's a great time to be a fan, SEC or AGgie

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

The move itself is interesting and really shakes things up. I am excited about the new rivalries that form and especially seeing how the new playoff system works out in a couple of years. The only real downside to the move is that we are leaving some long standing rivalries and traditions in the Big12.

I do believe that the move is great for the school from both national exposure and financial aspects, which who can argue with either of those. We will form new rivalries and new traditions. I am all in, and I am ready for football season to start.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I guess I forgot about that part. When I was a kid I never thought for a minute that LSU would ever NOT play Tulane
in a football year. Unthinkable. Today it's not only THINKable, it's almost forgotten that they ever played. But you
actually stand to win as a fan. Those games just became extremely important to those 'left behind'. For every one
that gets played going forward, you should see extra fervor, money, publicity and meaning. Choosing non-
conference is now a LOT harder, too. You want to keep old traditions alive, but playing someone too tough hurts
you when you already play 8 tough SEC games. It takes some getting used to. I like the way LSU was doing it
for many years, taking on tough Non-conference opponents to polish their possible credentials should they be
in the hunt at the end of the season. THIS YEAR it does not look like they have scheduled anyone that tough
out of conference. Shame, since it looks like they "COULD - GO - ALL - THE - WAY... :)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Lord, Michael, I just checked the schedule to find out who our ONE 'tough' out of conference opponent was
(Washington) and I saw that we have to go into the swamp this year....I call it a dangerous toss-up. Talk
about a season-wrecker for LSU and a season cementer for the Gators depending on how it goes.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Didn't You Think That Last Year, Brad? :D;s

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

You need to learn to delete quoted portions, Greg, lol...Do you mean did I think they could go all the way last year?
Of course I did. And they WOULD have, too, if somehow Bama had not been allowed to lose their division,
conference and head to head matchup and still end up in the CG....But I just say that for stats. You know how
I feel about them being in that game. I didn't like it, but I knew it was the only fair matchup. Then of course
it was made clear that they were the better team on that night. So yeah, I did say that last year. It's like Mike
says, its all part of being a fan and having expectations. Or I think he said Faith and Bravado...

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I agree with ya on that one, it'll be an interesting game. Muschamp needs a couple big wins this year to stay outta the hot seat next year, he needs to beat at least one and hopefully at least two of our matchups with LSU, FSU & UGA

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I'm Too Old For "Hi Tech", Brad!:r Looks Like LSU Is In The Driver's Seat Pre- Season. Is Your New Quarterback As Good As They Say?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

He must be good enough to drive that other prospect to Notre Dame....wasn't it Notre Dame?? Gunner Kiel??
I know that few people follow the ins and outs of LSU football. I think we have two hot shots instead of one
idiot and one imperfect winner.

The team I am worried about is FLA after SEC Media Days. How did Muschamp's comment about hoping
to have a QB by the opener go over in FL? Scared me and I am not a fan, lol. One thing I DO KNOW Greg is that
the LSU coaches have proven several times they can take great talent and lose with it, so we'll see. But as you
know, I am boycotting the NFL, so LSU IS my football in 2012, so its on, babay. But any QB is better than what we
strapped ourselves to last year.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Add to that all the boy has to do is be competent, capable of throwing a decent forward pass, and check out
of trouble and I think it's at LEAST a step UP. With the talent LSU has this year, that's all we need, right?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

I Think The Game On 11/03/12 In Baton Rouge Should Be "Very Interesting" To Both Of Us, Brother!:D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Yes Greg, I look forward to saying completely irrational things for 3 months straight,
but mostly I look forward to topping this thread to show off my new avatar.
Only football makes me care enough to have a killer season-avatar...seems like any
other time it's best for the new kids if we keep the same avatar so they'll know who
the hell is who. But during SEC time, it's time to hope and compel and root and boast
and enjoy. And I have Stephen on my ignore list, lol......................hater. :D

Let's go Gamecocks!!!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

We get to see what Spurrier's got now. He's gonna write his legacy with this squad.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2011
 

Not so fast my friend.

His legacy is already written. He's a championship coach who changed the SEC and thus college football forever with his offensive style. AKA his legacy is firmly established as the coach who made his alma mater a 5 star program and a national powerhouse. Secondly, as he's said countless times, he'll always be a Florida Gator first.

Remember, I'm graduating from Clemson for my MA within a week and have gotten into countless verbal altercations that nearly ended up in bar-fights defending Spurrier.

I believe you are getting at what his legacy will be at South Carolina :D
