What type of S&C does Bama have?
Bye Bye Brett - Pre super bowl talk
hang it up man. go back down to southern mississippi and deer hunt, fish, hang out at the local gas station and let people tell you how good you are. cause thats what its all about itsnt it brett? dont you just want to feel wanted. dont you just want programs to go out of their way, to put jobs on the line, to cause all kind of controvsy just for you? thats what its all about aint it brett? are you going to go on fox news this year? how many times are you going to lie between now and the beginning of next season brett? oh, you dont want to talk about it right now? ok, my bad. since you are brett favre i guess what ever you say goes. but before you ride off to do your next wrangler commercial can i ask you what it feels like to be in the NFC championship game twice in 3 years and end both games the exacte same way... with a pick? i guess you wouldnt have it any other way would you brett? i mean who else are you going to let win or lose the game? well brett, you can rest assured that i dont give 2 shits whether you come back, retire, go on greta, or coach a high school team. i could care less brett, because im sick of you. im sick of hearing about you. im sick of seeing you. and maybe, just maybe, the vikings are sick of you also. i mean hell, you have burned every bridge you have ever crossed so be sure not to let this one pass you by.
So lets talk about the big one. im sure we will have plenty of talk about which side to be on in this game and intially what im looking at is the point movement. what made the points move from 4 to 5 1/2? and why so fast? and whats up with the total? it drops from 56 to 55 1/2 and then climbs back up to 56 1/2. so the early money is obvioulsy going on Colts and Under and then others are jumping on the over to move it back up. I do like the fact that the colts have the "been there done that" on their side and playing a super bowl virgin. The saints didnt handle the pressure that good towards the end of the season when they were still undeffeated. but 5 1/2? the colts seem to be really good and after watching the saints/vikings game you really had to have the feeling that the vikings lost the game more than the saints won it. plus i spoke to a guy today that was at the game and he said, "joe, it was the loudest i had ever heard that place. i go to 3 or 4 lsu games a year and death valley has never been that loud." wow, saints had a huge home field advantage, playing a 40 year old qb that they put on the ground every other play (it seemed), plus the vikings turned the ball over 15 times (again, it seemed), and the saints still had to go in over time to win... i love dogs and i love them even more in the super bowl but im leaning towards the colts early. stay tuned for either a change of heart or a stronger feeling...

March Madness or BCS National Champ
Championship weekend.. i want to see some picks. The lines we are using on picks are Indy -8 & 39 and NO -3 1/2 & 53. you dont have to pick a side and you dont even have to pick every game but i want to see some picks damn it.
also, this morning on mike and mike i heard that the colts were behind in 9 games this year. when you go back and see how close they won most of their games it makes the 8 point line look almost crazy. something is going on with this line. its been a heavy favorite playoff and it seems like vegas is begging you to bet on the dog. Most of you guys know how much i love dogs but stay with the heavy favorites here and then take the dog in the big one.

Cod Lock cont..
Its not a Perdiction when its Guaranteed...Its a COD LOCK
AFC Championship. The Colts played the J.E.T.S. Jets! Jets! Jets! and the Jets! Jets! Jets! Lost! Lost! Lost! Bad! Bad! Bad! Peyton Manning demonstrated again why defenses do not fair well when Peyton sees them twice in a months time. Peyton connected with 3 different targets for touchdowns while Sanchez looked like... well, a rookie. This looked just like the Colts team that went to the Super Bowl a few years back. Their D was horrible against the run in the regular season and then just flat out shut down running teams in the playoffs. If you think for one second that the Jets play better D than the Ravens then you obviously didn't watch the game this weekend. The Colts totally dismantled the Jets D and watching Rex Ryan's face towards the end of the game looked just like that deer i almost hit with my car.
Colts 28 New York 10
NFC Championship was next and I will share my thoughts on that game in a little while. It was a little closer than the AFC game but with 7 min. to go in the 4th Qt you had no doubt who would cover.

Catching up
Speaking of Class, am i the only person that thought that Favre's 4th Qt touchdown with 2 minutes to go on 4th down up 27-3 was the most classless thing i had ever seen. i really felt that blunt's knock out punch to the boise state guy this past year was a more classy thing to do at the end of the game then what Childress and Favre did. I rank it up there with Tyson biting Holifield's ear. That one play made me think even less personally of a person that at one time i had so much respect for. Watching Brooking go over to side lines to tell Favre what he thought about it was a nice touch, just wish i could have heard what he said...
Hypocrite!! yea, thats me. as soon as i talk about how important class is i want to say my favorite player in the NFL is Jared Allen. when brooking did go over to the side lines to talk shit to favre, Allen was there to let him know that he would stomp hiss ass if he came any closer. i love the way he plays the game. when Minn is on defense i watch allen on every single play. even the ones he is not directly involved in he is still so much fun to watch. be sure to check him out against the Aints this weekend.
Play off predictions gone bad. i picked Philly and SD to go to the super bowl and neither one are even playing this weekend. Cod locks stick out again. I also liked the Cardinals and under this past weekend and it almost went over in the first half...
The Dawgs hire a DB's coach from Uconn. maybe he want have another player die on him this year...
Watching the Dallas D was pretty fun this past weekend and hearing Wade phillips say that Grantham was "grossly over quatlified for his postion as D line coach" also made me feel good. If jones fires Phillips i think he is a moron.
Marty ball... while i like Scareface Turner i think the chargers are regreting firing marty. seems it didnt make much of a difference.
i got hammered this weekend. went out to eat at a great place and everything was going great until i got 3 crown and cokes for free... after that i was whiskey bent and hell bound. for real...
Picks for this weekend.. I taking both home teams to win and im not picking Against The Spread.. and i reserve the right to go in and edit this blog after the games and change my picks to both road teams..
is it just me or is Rex Ryan a goofy fat ass? i'm trying to like the guy but he just gets on my damn nerves.
Kentucky got a scare from Auburn this weekend in B Ball... Wait a minute.. who gives a shit?

We finally have a defensve coordinaror
"I look forward to developing an aggressive, physical, attacking style defense that offenses will not look forward to playing against."
Dawg fans, I think we have ourselves a coach that is gonna turn our defense around. Can't wait to see our next year's D already. Gooooo Dawgsssss!!!!!!

Looks like Kirby will stay with Bama

National Title
That said… If McCoy plays in that ball game Texas wins by double digits. With 3 minutes to go in the game down by 3… there is no way that game should have been that close. And that is even after the ridiculous shuttle pass call from Mac Brown then Texas goes in to halftime down 17-6 with life. Especially when Gilbert Grape started coming in to his own and starts completing passes. If they were not trying to dig out of such deep hole I really think that Texas has legitimate chance to win that game. Hell, they had a legitimate chance with a 24-6 hole.
Mack Brown out coached Nick Saban. That’s right. And if any of you Alabama fans don’t admit that then you are wearing Saban colored glasses. I’m not saying Brown is a better coach, I’m saying that Brown was with in 3 points with a freshman QB on a team that is built around the QB on the bench - with 3 minutes to go - with the ball. You cant draw an analogy on the bama side. Bama is a more balanced team and you can basically plug people in (ie Richardson for Ingram). I understand that is due to coaching that is why I just said that I don’t believe that Brown is a BETTER coach than Saban but he did out coach him in that game.
Overall, the SEC just won its 4th straight Title. No other conference has ever won 4 straight titles and this helps all of us SEC teams out. It basically secures us in the Title game in any “controversial” year. If the 04 season is played next year then Auburn plays for the National title and for that every SEC school needs to thank Alabama, Florida, and LSU. Thank you, hopefully one of us can keep the streak going next year.

todd grantham???
As for Richt.. who he hires has a lot to do with how he will go into next season in the minds of the fans. Van Gorder was really a no name and he worked out pretty damn good so richt is really batting .500 while hiring people that are not "proven" in the minds of the fans. Can you imagine how excited we will be with a name like SMART vs. how nervous we will be with a guy named... hold on... yea, Grantham?

Who is hot and Who is not?
All this talk about recruiting and coaching and all that has got me wondering who are the best coaches and who are the guys that need to go? I will provide you a list of my 5 best, 5 most underrated, and 5 most overrated at this time.
5 best.
1. Nick Saban- As much as it pains me to say this being and Auburn fan I have too. Having that much success at 2 different SEC schools, and turning around a program with no depth and thin on talent that quickly he is actually worth every penny.
2. Pete Carroll- If for no other reason he continually gets the best QB in the nation to come sit on his bench for 2 or 3 years then sends them on their way to the NFL(with this year being the lone exception). Not to mention no one is more consistent in the BCS games, yeah I know he lost a big one but how many has he won?
3. Urban Meyer- The only reason I have Urban behind these two guys is that USC and Alabama were in shambles when they took over and Urban took over a team that already the pieces of a contender put in place. Ron Zook is one of the best recruiters in the nation . Urban was more capable of coaching up the talent that was already there.
4.Mack Brown- Consistently one of the best recruiters and nicest guys in college football. He has had some GREAT players come through there, for years he had trouble converting his on the field talent into actual national championship hopes, I think he has since figured out how to do that.
5. Jim Tressell- I know I know I hate him as much as you guys do, but he owns the Big Ten and even though he doesn't always win the big game he always gets to one. He wins old school with Defense and running the ball and you have to give him credit for changing that a little when he got a QB that could more. The fact he is evolving his offensive strategy ( which has always been the knock on him) means big trouble for the big ten.
5 most underrated.
1. Gary Patterson- I know he is a hot topic lately but news flash this is not the first year that TCU has been a great team. He has always been a few pieces away from being able to compete in any conference and with two great years in a row and some young players to boot, watch out for the frogs to consistently try and push its way in the top 10 year after year.
2. David Cutcliffe- SEC fans know how good this guy is especially UT fans. I don't know if you noticed but Duke mattered in the ACC this year, and yes I do mean in football. I would say that Duke is on the rise and could compete to win their side within the next 4 years, but I won't, because Cutcliffe will have a much better job by then.
3. Mike Leetch- I know this bad timing for old Mike but if you at his track record he shouldn't be jobless for long. Everywhere he has been they were better when he left refer to Valdosta State, Kentucky, and now you can add TT to that list. Athletes, mainly QB's and WR's will come find the guy no matter where he is, and they are smart to do so.
4. Bo Pellini- Nebraska got a steal with this guy as their head coach and the impact was immediate. The only reason he is number 4 on my list instead of 2 is because it takes longer for defensive genius to build his defense than an offensive guru to build and offense, but I think we all saw this year that the black shirts are on their way back.
5. Houston Nutt- He has never really had a superior team in the SEC with the Razorbacks but no one was excited about playing them. I think Snead's bad was a blessing to him still going to and winning the Cotton Bowl and getting Snead back. Give him a few years to stack some recruits and Archie will be proud.
5 most overrated
1. Les Miles- The wheels are slowly starting too fall off at LSU there are so many times you can win games by not knowing how much time is on the clock and throwing hail mary's. LSU is a built in recruiting mecca every player in Louisiana( where there are some outstanding high school football player) dreams of playing for LSU is not hard to get players yet he keeps getting the wrong ones.
2. Paul Johnson- I know, I know back to back ACC championship games, so what! Have you seen the ACC lately? The option out dated you don't need speed, or strength, or even athletes to stop it. Only discipline. I think he has proved he will never win a big bowl game, a month to prepare for the triple option equals complete shutdown of the triple option. Paul will be back in D1AA in 5 years.
3. Mark Richt- This brings me the most pleasure to type, not because of Mark I have met him and he is a great guy, but because of all you obnoxious UGAy fans( thanks Pulley I am using that one now). Every year his recruiting class is surrounded by the likes of Florida, Texas, USC, Oklahoma and LSU. Yet they have one thing UGA does not, a crystal trophy shaped like a football. No team in my opinion has had recruiting classes as good as UGA's for a constant period of time and has no titles to show for it.
4. Bobby Patrino- Yes he had a couple of years at Louisville. Then didn't cut it in the NFL and the reason is against NFL or SEC defenses you can't throw the ball 60 times a game and expect to be consistent. Which is why he ride the Arkansas thing until he sees the the grim future of what he brought to the program and he will bail for a Pac 10 job long before Arkansas crumbles.
5. Steve Spurrier- Yes I know I hate to say it as much as you hate to hear it. Has SC gotten better, yes they have but they didn't bring in the old ball coach to make them better, Lou Holtz did that, they brought him in to win, which he hasn't done in an awful long time I wonder if he forgot how. The days of Danny W and 5 wide are gone he just won't get those players at SC. I give him years before he practicing his swing to try and make the Champions tour.
Not so fast
from Starrett to Pulley
"Bama has the #1 rated class coming in"....
By what service? Not Scout, not rivals, not ESPN. Bamarecruitinginsiderolltideroll? maybe?
Referencing Kirby Smart...what do you think he's going to say? He may or may not leave to come to UGA but here are the facts, UGA has not named a coordinator, is it maybe b/c their #1 target has not coached his final game? If UGA were targeting someone besides Kirby, I think we'd have an announcement by now. We know Muschamp isn't in the picture and I would guess that we aren't looking at Central Michigan or Troy assistants, so I'll assume we are still pursuing Kirby. "Why the hell would he do that?" Well lets think about it logically, first of all he played at UGA. Most people form relationships at college and tend to migrate back to that area if possible. He is good friends with Mike Bobo whom he played with which would mean he and a good friend are coordinators for a traditional SEC power. He would have TOTAL control of the defense. Does he have that at Bama - don't thinks so as Saban is a defensive guy. He'll name two of his own assistants. Like I said, whether or not he comes, I don't know. But for Bama fans to act like its nonsense further proves your original point about their arrogance Joe. No offense to you personally BP, just calling it like I see it.

Best of 2009
(of course all you have to do is click on the link to go to that post)
John Starrett tells everyone how to "slay your bookie" with 3 losers - plus some pretty damn good pics on this post
"Steinhatchee" could have been my best post of the year, to bad i did it so early
"Double Digit dog could win outright"... and did. plus the pictures of Ashley Judd helped this make the list
"Why I hate Ga Fans" from Rusty was just a great post. along with "To Rusty, I'm Sorry" together made October 9th the highest ranked blog hits for the year
"Pretty Good Seats" also made the list
and "calling out Meet Joe Black" could be one of my Fav's (be careful for heavy profanity on this post from Pulley)
A big thanks to Reese, Starrett, Pulley, Rusty, Jody, and Culpepper. AND to all of the blogs fan base, "I promise to make this blog the best blog and I promise to not let any other blog out work me and you will never see another blog push his team harder than this blog will push its bloggers. God Bless."

Thoughts
1st - Mike Leach – Adam James is a spoiled rotten little bitch. When I saw him walking around on the sidelines of the TT/Mich St game with his little stocking cap on bobbing his head, like obviously his daddy Craig did when he went down on the chanclor, I got madder and madder. Mike Leach is the best thing to ever happen to the Tech football program and Adam James looks like the bully in karate kid (do you remember how bad you hated Johnny from the first karate kid?)
2nd - Playoffs – I hate the fact that the regular season ended this way with 3 rematches in the first round but it kind of helps my argument against a college playoff. Imagine if Bama had to play Florida again in the quarter final of a playoff bracket. But, as for the teams in the playoffs, I cant remember when this many teams had a really really good shot to win the superbowl. When you start looking at the teams I could make a case for several, but here is what Im thinking, right now… I may have to many upsets.
Wild Card Round
AFC
4 Cinncy over 5 NY jets
6 Balt over 3 NE (UPSET!!!)
NFC
6 Philly over 3 Dallas (UPSET!!!)
5 G Bay over 4 Arizona
Divisional Round
AFC
(SD would have Cinncy since Balt beat NE )
SD over Cinncy
Balt over Indy (UPSET!!!)
NFC
NO over Philly
Gbay over Zona
Conference Championship
New Orleans over Minnesota
San Diego over Baltimore
SUPER BOWL
San Diego over New Orleans as a 6 point Under Dog.
3rd – Big 10 – if the Big 10 adds 2 teams to form a 12 team conference then what will it be called since the Big 12 is already taken. I’m going with the Big North. I know, its good.
4th – Georgia Coaching search – “just a little patience, yeaaaaaa yea. Just a little patience. Yeaaaaaaaa yea. I've been walking these streets at night, Just trying to get it right (Need some patience, yeaaaaaaaaaaaa) It's hard to see with so many around, You know I don't like being stuck in a crowd (Could use some patience, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa) And the streets don't change but maybe the name, I ain't got time for the game!”
all im saying is have a little patience people. If we land smart then it was worth the wait. If we land No Name from No Where University, then we will sing a different song.Sc-Hell
