SEC Football Weekly Rundown: Georgia-Alabama Blackout Highlights Week Five

I predicted Bama to meet a resilient Razorback group but come out on top in the end, 29-13. What joy, what joy, when the wrath of the Tide is unleashed on others! I don’t care who you are. If you are in the SEC, you don’t get beat 49-14!

MSU vs. Tech

Sylvester Croom came oh so close to pulling off the upset for the second straight year over Tuberville and the Tigers in Week Three. That had given me reason to believe they would make a game of it with the Yellow Jackets. Boy, was I wrong!

Georgia Tech came in with a mission, and now I’m afraid that for Croom the handwriting is on the wall. A predicted loss of 24-16 seemed respectable, but 38-7 spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E for the Maroons’ leader.

LSU vs. AU

I made it known to several in the B/R community that I would be attending my first game at Jordan-Hare this past weekend. Let me tell you, it was an experience! I’m not sure if it was a good experience or a bad one, but it was an experience.

Tiger Bowl 2008 lived up to all the hype. The fans were so nervous you could almost see the color leaving their skin. For an outsider with no dog in the fight—well, maybe a small dog—I was taken aback by the emotion for some and a lack thereof for others.

I will plan to expound on this in a lengthier manner, dedicating a whole article to this event. It is still in the works, so look for it at my profile page.

The prediction was 20-17 in favor of the Tigers—um, LSU Tigers, not the Plainsmen. It turned out to be not much different in a 26-21 victory for the Bayou Bengals. Only two points off the predicted spread.

So, much like my start, a one-point spread difference in the UGA game, I ended on what I considered a great note (on many levels) with the two-point spread difference for the Tiger Bowl.
