Larry's Losers in The SEC Week Five

This past week the Old Ball Coach threw a lot of us in Prognosticatin' Profession an old curve ball this week when he mustered up the Gamecock's to put a peckin' on them Rebels. And Baccardi the Wonder Dog's feelings about his brother dogs almost pullin' off the upset at LSU almost came true.

The little smart smart pill machine dropped another one this week and brought the season record to a 30-5 record and with the upsets that came so far this season, we're still left hopin' for another chance at smart pill perfection.

So with a new prescription here we go for week five near the middle of the heart of the SEC season.

Alabama at Kentucky

The Wildcats are still smarting from the chewin' they got from the hands of the Gators last week and they hope they're at least still good enough to cause some problems for the pachyderms when they come a callin'.

I hope they didn't use up all their band-aids last week 'cause after the Trampling Tuscaloosans finish up the game, they're gonna need another box or two. Larry's loser - Ketucky.

Arkansas and Texas A&M

Bobby Petrino may have led the hogs to a slaughter last week when they stumbled into to T-town to test the Tide, but this week they're hoping the Aggie's from A&M prove to be more to their liking.

The top pigskin passer Mallet wants to show that last week's game was just a misstep on the road to road to post season perfection and it would seem that the Aggies are just the team to help them out. A&M has stood for almost mediocre for a while now and this may adversary they need to get them back to Hog Heaven. Larry's loser - Texas A&M

Auburn at Tennessee

Little Lord Loudmouth up in Knoxville has proved his old Tennessee hound dog Volunteers are all bark and no bite this year, so naturally Gene Chizik wants to take his Tigers up Ol' Rocky Top to get his boys another win while the gettin's good.

Monte Kiffin is sure to lay or trap or two to try and ground those War Eagles and he may just slow them down and keep 'em in the game. Unfortunately, his young 'un Lane with only lay an egg with his offense and in the end, the only ones glad they went up on Rocky Top will be Tigers.  Larry's loser - Tennessee

LSU at Georiga

Somebody near the top gets knocked off each week and Mark Richt has his barkin' Bulldogs welcome LSU and they will try and serve up this week's shocker against Les the Hat's cats.

Them swamp kitties almost almost got dog bit last week, and only a deflected pass kept them from being a pound puppies prize. They hope they continue their dog trainin' lessons this week and avoid one more dog disaster.

Baccardi the Wonder Dog done said this was the week the dogs have the last bark over the cats and I'm goin' along with him this week. Larry's loser - LSU

Ole Miss at Vanderbilt

The little smart pill machine was telling everyone before the season started that Houston gets his nut cracked every time he's a front runner. Vandy is hopin' that the Johnny Reb's are still reelin' when they come down South for a little visit. 

Unfortunately for the Commodores, they ain't get the same caliber of cannon on defense that the Old Ball Coach brought with him, and if it gets into a shoot out that would be playin' into the Rebel's hands.

This is a nut that cracks under pressure but fortunately for the home team Vandy can't give that much pressure. Larry's loser - Vanderbilt

Ga. Tech at Mississippi State

Dan Mullen's mutts have been shampooed and cut this season and are lookin' more like pedigreed pooches every week but this week the Ramblin' Wreck from Ga. Tech rumbles into Starkville and sure don't want these dogs raisin' a leg on their hubcaps.

Baccardi's barkin' that these dogs are due, but I just don't see it this week. Ga. Tech's got a runnin' game that just causes a little too much trouble for most teams and in the end, it's gonna be just another sad old story about a dog that got run over.  Larry's loser - Mississippi State

South Carolina State at South Carolina

Fresh off a big win the Old Ball Coach entertains his neighbors up the street when the South Carolina State Bulldogs come for a friendly visit. However the Gamecocks have no intention of being hospitable hosts and they won't be rubbing their bellies when the dogs roll over.

And ain't this just what the football world needs? Another danged Bulldog team? Even Bacardi's gettin' tired of talkin' about this breed and he tells me these ain't purebreds, their just mutts that are Bulldog wanna bees. Larry's loser - South Carolina State

That's all for this week, fetch my slipper's Baccardi, it's been a long weekend and I'm ready for bed, get me outta here!

With fondest tribute to Leonard “Postoasties” Postero, 1922 - 2001.
