  1. thanks for the pick

  2. My thoughts on the SECCG this Saturday....

    Mount Cody will have little affect as long as Meyer dosent try too many of those delayed hand-offs up the middle..Cody was good against other pound-it football teams like LSU, with Scott running up the middle, etc....but against an extremely spread offense...I see him getting little action.

    I think UF has to many sets of fresh legs, and this is why I think their running game will continue to produces points/yards even against a more dominant defense like Bama's.....Demps, Rainey, Moody, James, ive even heard they are considering using wide-out Louis-Murphy on the counters/sweeps like they do with Percy...that would be interesting because he is very agile and elusive, aswell.

    Bottom-line, with Tebow and their seemingly endless array of backs, there is no-way Bama will get by playing in that 3-4 Defense against FL.....which will open up the field for passes(from the Heisman winner whom can't throw! haha..yea right), and be what I think, the game decider...

    UF 3 TDs + victory

    I would make this into a complete article, but my 4 freaking finals are eating away at me!

  3. Congrats on your first article! I am the Big Ten and Ohio State Community Leader here at B/R and if you ever have any questions feel free to contact me.

    Keep up the good work!

  4. Welcome my friend!

    I was trying to have a friendly debate/conversation with Red today after class. I merely argued the other side of what he thinks to be set in stone, and as you might guess, it didn't turn out well.

    He got mad and started cursing, not at me, but to intensify his remarks about the feelings he has.

    I got to hand it to him, he is very passionate about his BIG-12 and the Sooners.

    His love for his team/conference blinds him. He actually thinks the BIG-12 has been the dominant conference of this decade, which is clearly a biased opinion with little or no support.

    He's a good guy! I think I just got under his skin with the points I made.

    He abruptly ended out conversation with "you guys down here in the south are brainwashed" haha

    Maybe so, I love college football

    Cheers!
