Yep, and before that I think it was FSU at the '99 game.

Any chance Spurrier and USC (E) don't hang 50 on Auburn?

Auburn will be lucky to get out with only 50 scored against them, IMO! Their defense hasn't been on the field yet! No reason to think it will show up this weekend. Really embarrassing last week to have the most offensive yards ever scored against an SEC team ticked off against Auburn. I think they need to stop worrying the loss of Cam, and get to the police department to report the theft of their defense!

Really?? I would have sworn it was what WVU hung on LSU last weekend, lol.

As for me I am gonna go and have beers with my buddy Bill 86 in Nash Vegas, and crawl home
and catch the game on CBS, capping a fine day of fall enjoyment. If I don't get arrested on
the way home.

Don't get arrested, Brad!

Hey, I know this is the SEC thread, but us Clemson folk have opinions.

USC hasn't covered but once this year (against UGA), so I'm again taking Auburn with 11.5. Spurrier is still the best quarterback on the team and he should play at least one quarter tomorrow. He better be looking ahead to next year and who is going to lead the team.

I agree if Bama can play the game they have in the book, they will stomp Florida, which is also fine with me. Key is no turnovers.

Depending on which Les Miles shows up, the 28.5 spread is causing me some worry. I think I'll take them anyway, as Kentucky is not firing on all cylinders this year.

One would hope UGA cover cover 8.5 with Miss St. I betting on it. They'll be between the hedges, so that should give them more confidence.

I'm also taking my Tigers at +7.5. A victory will be sweet for the Tiger Nation who have suffered much inconsistency over the past years.

Go Orange (the Real one)!!!



Ok, I'll share the flag site for all you SEC fans!

We'll consider you about 1/2 SEC, Jamie. Good to see you around , brother, and good luck this weekend. Your Tigers made me do a little happy dance a couple weeks ago. I'm not sure I like all your picks this weekend, but hey, I went 2-8 last weekend in my pool and 1-1 with the bookie. I think I'll stick with my day job, which ain't much better.

Carolina didnt cover against UGA, they did cover the spread against Vandy though.

[emopunker2004]

Can't wait til Saturday Night. Go Gators!

[OLS]

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo.

Jordan Jefferson had his charges reduced to misdemeanor simple battery and was
re-instated to the LSU Tiger roster.

Now thankfully, Jarrett lee has played SO WELL that surely he is the starter EVERY
SATURDAY, but I know Les Miles, and if he wants to mix it up and give the defense
something different to react to, he will put JJ in the game....and for the first time
in 4 weeks, I will once again feel like at any time, LSU could lose a football game.

[Powers]

My prediction:



Go Gators!

Auburn vs South Carolina....lil late but my money's on the safe bet. Auburn all the way. 7th time is not the charm for the Gamecocks.

[OLS]

That's a Crocodile, Michael, hahahahaha.

WHEW LSU lets Jordan Jefferson handle the ball and they still win. Got a lot of kids into the ball game in preps for
the TOUGH Gators.
Man, NOW I see what you SC fans are all upset about. That's harder to watch than the LSU teams of yore.

[Fordman4ever]

The ending to the Auburn game was ridiculous. There was still 2 seconds left on the clock.

[OLS]

There is always a "continuation" with human referrees and clock operators. It was a stupid passing decision to
throw to that receiver at that spot on the field with that little time on the clock. Plain and Simple. If you are
going to do that stupid kind of thing, you make up your mind and throw the ball quickly, down yourself quicker,
and hurry to the line for the FEW ticks you have left after the chains move and get another pass.
Just another of the bad decisions Garcia and the Ole' ball Coach made on the day. When he called that last time
out I almost came out of my skin. You spike the ball. You don't have TIME for four downs, who cares if you lose one.
but a LOT of stuff happens really fast. It happens to everyone.

[jjirons69]

Exactly, Brad. They shouldn't have put themselves in that predicament to start with. Spurrier should have told them in the time out - no longer than a 3 count before passing and hit the deck when you catch it. Breaks my heart none, though!
