SEC Predictions: Larry's Losers in the SEC, Week 8

Larry Burton (Syndicated Writer) Well folks, living in lizard land down here in Florida I get all sorts of "inside" information and it ain't all good. I was told that one of the two injured Florida football flingers would be back in the saddle for the Auburn game, but that just wasn't the case and we suffered with that loss because of it.

That loss gets us to 47-9 for the year with Auburn and Ole Miss being the two top culprits in the incorrect column and just barely holding onto a B average for the year.

So let's just jump right in and get to gabbing and grab some goodies to garner good game results.

Army at Vanderbilt

Over hill over dale, they have hit the dusty trail, but these caissons won't keep rolling along once they get to Song City to take on the Commodores of Vanderbilt.

Vandy may have just landed a goodie with Coach Franklin who's got these usually soggy sailors sailing straight and narrow this season.

This may not be Army vs. Navy, but these Commodores outrank a cadet and the boys from Army ain't going to like the marching orders they'll get this week.

Larry's Loser: Army

Tennessee at Alabama

Last week Derek Dooley and his Duddley Dowrong Volunteers got mauled in a cat fight with a Bayou Bengal and aim to take it out on the tusked ones from Tuscaloosa.

But Nick Saban ain't about to give up the high ground in his home stadium to a bunch of pumpkin-colored coon-skin cappers and aims to give them a good old "what for" in front of over 100,000 witnesses.

If the Vols were sore after last week's Louisiana lashing, they'll discover they didn't know what sore was until they get trampled by a herd of elephants.

Larry's Loser: Tennessee

Jacksonville State vs. Kentucky

This year's Kentucky cat convention ain't what it used to be and these cats have looked like road kill for most of the season.

Thank God somebody in scheduling loves them though, because this group of young Jacksonville State boys may be just what the Kitties need to get back on the winning ways of things.

There's a difference between a bad team from a good league and a good team from a bad league and the boys from 'Bama will learn that lesson well.

Larry's Loser: Jacksonville State

Arkansas at Ole Miss

Ole Miss is an Old Mess this season and it's not getting better because they are getting gored by Hogs from Arkansas this weekend.

Houston Nutt should just run up the white flag early in this one and maybe for the rest of the season too, and he'd better not ignore Gus Malzahn's wife taking a look at houses as he may be the Nutt that falls from this tree at the end of the year.

Larry's Loser: Ole Miss

Auburn at LSU

Some of Les Miles' boys figure if Les can eat it, they should be able to smoke it, but Ol' Les didn't see it that way and sat them down to contemplate that poor decision.

Now in comes the luckiest litter of cats who hopes that fate and 85 rabbit feet can pull it out of the fire for them one more time, while the bayou boys bellyache over blown weed.

But in the end, there's enough nonsmokers in the Louisiana locker room to handle these lucky tabbies from down wire grass way and they'll send them home scurrying.

Larry's Loser: Auburn

Well that's it for this week folks.

Me and the Pooch are running a day late on the picks due to doctors diagnosing me and giving me the green light to pursue my past particulars without warning. So with all that behind us, let me thank each and every one of the well-wishers wistfully sending wondrous warmth my way.

It meant a lot.

So until next week, keep the TV on, put some new batteries in the remote control and hang on for a few more fantastic football weeks to be played out.
