Vanderbilt kick is blocked
And that’s why you’re Vanderbilt
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Georgia now leads 49-3, driving on NMSU side of field
Florida leads Vanderbilt 20-7
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Time for Ole Miss-Kentucky!!!
I know everyone is excited for this!
(Ole Miss up 3-0 a few minutes in)
The Battle for Last is important stuff
Going to be charitable and call that a goal-line stand by Kentucky (rather than a massive Ole Miss problem that led to them being 3rd and goal at the 18). Ole Miss goes up 6-0
One involving, say, Iowa
Rather than Michigan State, which is guaranteed to be interesting. Watched them earlier since I couldn’t get Florida-Vandy.
Kentucky fights back
7-6 at the beginning of the second.
oh Tim Brando
why couldn’t CBS have not retained you instead of Gus?
Arkansas is trying hard to keep both of these teams in the game
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
South Carolina 14, Arkansas 10
This game is going to be an interesting one
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
And we are still waiting on LSU-Alabama to actually, you know, begn
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.

LSU forced to punt...
…but kills it on the Bama 5. Jarrett Lee got CLOCKED on 3rd down by Hightower. Battle o’ Titans, in Bryant Denny.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
The Houston Nutt...
…deathwatch continues. Rebs get jackhammered by Kentucky 30-13.`
......Drowning in cool elixir.
We sat behind the Ole Miss bench...
….at Auburn last week. It was as dispirited a sideline as I’ve ever seen there. And I’ve seen Ball State and La. Monroe… Nutt was basically the only one with any energy on that sideline.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
I switch over to watch LSU-Bama for a minute and you show me that play?
I hate CBS
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
For those of you who missed it, that sequence was
4th and 2, timeout, 4th and 2, timeout
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Ick.
….I’m pulling for the Gamecocks. Kill UGA’s hopes before we play ’em next week!
......Drowning in cool elixir.
I think y'all are going to have to do that on your own
We’ll be pulling for you though
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I've admired...
…the Gamecock attitude this season. A lot of things haven’t gone right, but South Carolina is still sitting at 7-1 and atop the Eastern Division. Frankly, my Tigers were very lucky to win in USC’s only loss thus far.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Both teams have roared...
….between the 20s. In scoring position, defenses have risen up. LSU has the special teams edge. Bama has hits on the QB.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Halftime observation
South Carolina could be losing this game by 30 points easily, easily. They get the ball back in the second half. If Arkansas doesn’t stop making mistakes, the Gamecocks might have a chance. If Arkansas pulls itself together, South Carolina could very well get annihilated in the second half
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Disaster for Alabama
FG attempt blocked into the hands of a waiting LSU man
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Bama special teams woes...
….continue. Bama switches kickers, but Shelley is blocked. LSU ball. Still a scoreless deadlock.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
You'd think with all those blue chip recruits Alabama gets
they could sign a decent kicker
d-wade=d-ouche
Most teams won't...
…burn a scholly on an incoming kicker. They have to earn it.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
I think that's a mistake considering how much this single position can affect a game.
I’d rather offer a good kicker then sign a 4th string at another position.

I haven't been watching...
…the USC Arkansas game, but that halftime box score is wild! You’ve got an Arky kick return for a score, and a negative 32 yard pass for Arkansas that resulted in a Gamecock safety. Wow.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
It seems thus far...
…in the defacto BCS Title game (or so ESPN would have us believe…) that Bama’s moving the ball better. LSU special teams have equalized things. Bama’s kickers haven’t gotten them on the board.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Checking the Little Debbie Swiss Roll Scoreboard...
…..Oklahoma State in the gray dumpster-themed unis, having trouble with K-State. The Wildcats take a 24-14 lead on a pick six.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Bama..
…moves again with a big screen to Trent Richardson, first down in the LSU red zone.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
4th and 10.
…..Two runs for a yard each, then a fade to the stands. Bama has a 35 yard attempt staring them in the face again.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Les may...
…be making the correct choice, or is he? Clock’s pretty late in the half. Can’t stay with 5 yard runs. Will run out of time.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Clock and Les Miles in the same comment
I think that could make our site self-destruct

Then Bama gives 'em
….a free first down at midfield on the freeze play.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Arkansas 24, South Carolina 21
I don’t know how this game isn’t over by now, but it isn’t
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
there were like 5 LSU receivers deep
thought they were def. backs
Ritter and the SEC zebras...
…..Holding on Bama. 1st and goal at the 2.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Arkansas 27, South Carolina 21
HOW IS THIS STILL A GAME ANY MORE?!?
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
If I were Petrino...
….I’d be really nervous, if Spurrier is still within a TD late. Y’all’s plan should be to keep turning Clowney loose, and keep hitting Wilson.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Hocker...
…..will hit. Arkansas takes a 30-21 lead on South Carolina. Big stop for the Carolina D, though.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
On to the fourth quarter
I still think that I hate my football team
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Lost your starting QB...
….lost the best RB in the SEC? Still 7-1? Pretty impressive, I’d say.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Not sure about...
…Florida. With Brantley gone, can Weis get another guy ready? They were awful at QB in the game I saw at Auburn.
…..If Richt doesn’t beat us and Ga. Tech, he may be gone, too. How good can UGA be with a depleted tailback corps, and a new system?
......Drowning in cool elixir.
I don't know that Richt gets fired
And if you guys win, that solves our problem anyway as long as we take care of Florida
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
And, yes, that means that there will be no Auburn haterade next week ;)
I don’t care if you paid McCalebb in limousines
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Thanks.
…..none of us orange and blue faithful thought he’d hold up to SEC-level pounding. We weren’t paying for a taxi-squad guy, anyway.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Shaw...
….to the one. Single-wing football, first and goal gamecocks!
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Yer kick...
……is good! The Arkansas lead is cut to 30-28 over South Carolina.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Jarrett Pick Six Lee...
…is nearly back. A huge mistake into double coverage, Bama is first and goal at the 3.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
And Bama...
…nearly has the post for a score. LSU secondary makes the save.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Bama is now..
…3rd and 10. Dicey FG unit will be called on to take the lead.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
LSU is moving the chains...
…with basic 5-yard hitch, pound out the first football.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
And veteran lineman..
…will Blackwell gets the false start flag, likely a drive-killer.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Brad Wing...
….still punting at an All American level. This punt is fair caught at the Bama 10.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Lights out...
…..Broderick Green pounds it in on 3rd down, and Arkansas takes a 43-28 lead late on South Carolina.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Then...
…USC fumbles the kickoff away. Arkansas has it, Jake Hocker with the recovery.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
I had an old school...
…first grade teacher who would beat your hands into a bloody ruin if you didn’t indent your paragraphs. I’ve still got post-traumatic stress from that. Internet hates spaces. I still WILL indent.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
The 3rd quarter of the BCS Title game is over...
…..Bama leads 6-3, but LSU is threatening in the Bama red zone.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
JJ does the wise thing...
…and snakes forward for three. Sets up the tying field goal.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Here's Alleman...
…and he is good. The grudge match for the ages is tied at 6, with 14:13 left.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Your final from Fayetteville...
…Hogs down Gamecocks…44-28. A sack-fumble does in South Carolina.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Yer Wham play..
….and Bama is in deep in LSU territory with Richardson.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Brad Smelley...
…..just killed an LSU tackle on that play, crashing back inside from a wingback position. Richardson went right up the vacated gap.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Wildcat....
and Eric Reed has it taken away on the bomb! LSU has it at the one!
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Correction..
….Reed takes it away on the pick. If the review stands. Should.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
LSU took it away...
…but Bama stops ’em deep. They still have the field position edge. LSU needs a big punt from Brad Wing.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Whoop.
….Just under seven minutes, and Richardson is blown up for a five yard loss on first down. Oops.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Bama calls...
….a screen, and they danged near give up the first. maybe 4 yards short.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
S.C.-Arkansas recap is here. I was actually able to write one this time
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
We've been through..
….a whole lot of those “5-3 wins the West” deals, too. You never know. If Auburn can shut Crowell down, you’d be back in a tie with UGA, and own the tiebreaker.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Beckham has a huge return,
…..but an assassin block from Mathieu gets flagged.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
If Les Miles had recruited a competent quarter two or three years ago
No one would be able to defeat this team
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I wouldn't eat it.
……Even the best pork in this state is less than $5 a pound. Why eat this, for about 20 bucks a pound?
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Ritter and crew...
…missed an out of bounds tackle. Clock’s going to run out. Overtime, with a 6-6 tie.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Tide goes first.
…..Empty. Richardson in. Misses the jailbreak screen. LSU was ready.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
All LSU has to do...
…is not lose yardage. Alleman can hit a 42 yarder.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Back to the line.
…..Alleman in. Bama going for the block. The spot, snap, kick, GOOD!
......Drowning in cool elixir.
I expected LSU QBs..
…and receivers to be the difference. Forgot about the special teams. LSU’s folk made the difference, kicking and punting. Hats off to the big Hat, who’s going back to Atlanta.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
That was...
….a satisfying ole-school slobber-knocker of a game. Gotta smile a bit, when Bama loses, although I hate our state being knocked out of the BCS equation for the first time in two years.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
Neither team could run..
…or get consistent passing. It came down to special teams, and Bama’s deficiencies there caught up with them. I’d say they were better, moving the ball. Gotta hit those FGs, though.
......Drowning in cool elixir.
