I have to say if we lose another poster as good as russ, who provides
valuable information, because somebody just has to start shit with them this place may as well shut it down.
Tmader I don't know what your main problem is but you have a serious case of has beenitis. Save the
revelry about your past accomplishments when you're drinking with your buddies. Some of the best
handicappers have never played a sport at all. Why can't you have a reasonable difference of opinion with out
the personal attacks?
Thanks Russ. Not sure why his reading comprehension is so low. Probably the concussions from his badass days as a real football player!! But seriously, how can anyone say that A&M isn't middle of the road SEC? Regardless of their record in the West....they are among the MIDDLE of the SEC teams? Right? They are likely anywhere from 6th to 9th best...which is the MIDDLE of the SEC (among 14 teams). Sure, even if they are the 9th best team...that's closer to the bottom...but still in the middle. THIS is what that knucklehead wants to argue about. Also, my point about A&M was to point out that they are NOT AS GOOD as people are suggesting! Which backs up HIS point. But he wants to argue with me. Honestly, A&M is better than: UF, Vandy, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Missouri....so even if they lost all of their West games they are STILL in the MIDDLE of the SEC!!
RunLeeRun, please don't mention that clown's name again!!!
Coach, my apologies, no bone to pick with you. In all fairness, A&Sham is not as good as Kentucky or Mizzou, just an SEC's player's perspective. Vandy, yeah, Franklin left town after he had absolutely no recruits this year, next year, yada, yada, etc. I would have left town too. I'm not gonna say another word about Florida, they have enough problems brewing, and S. Carolina, I'm now 60 or so miles from that catastrophe, will be interesting to see how that plays out. Again, please accept my apology.

No worries, thanks for the apology...and I apologize if I came across as an ass (which is common!). I disagree that Kentucky is better (close, but not better) and Mizzou. Mizzou's O is horrible (119 yards vs. UF). And I agree with you....A&M is not that good (the USC game turned heads and now that the season is playing out, that win wasn't so impressive after all). But I still think they are around 7th or 8th best SEC (maybe tied for those spots), which puts them in the middle of the LEAGUE (not the West....you are 100% correct, they are NOT in the middle of the West!)....
LOL, how does one get to be in the middle of the SEC West? I was out of line, but I know how players react to shit, I played three years, been there, done that, etc. Kentucky has a sneaky team, I suggest all watch out for them. Mizzou, come on, I'm a huge Marky, Mauk fan, loved his bro in college, can not help but give him some love, LOL. I'm not playing the SEC right now, too much comp, not like when I played, we were the cellar, no if's, and's, or but's.

Know this is gonna sound stupid, these stories always do. Was invited to a card game, I'm not at liberty to tell where in the City it was, but I show up and Switzer has a pair of panty hose on his head. I'm like, man, I gotta go, this can't be good, but naw, they calmed me down and said game on. This story is true and I approved the message, lol.

By the way just for the record. Speaking of Casady. One of my best memories was when I was a sophomore in HS. We were playing Casady in baseball and I threw out Lance Rentzel stealing second base. I was kind of nervous about it because he was one of the best athletes I ever played against in any sport. He was a senior and after the game he came over and shook my hand. It was one of the classiest things I ever encountered. As far as the Split T goes I remember how one of the owners made a big boo boo and got in some trouble. I drive by VZD's every day.
It's all good, sorry about the "asshole" comment. Notice I stated "owned," as in past tense. Yeah, he had a serious "blow" problem, what do ya expect from a POKE, lol. Got out of that one alive. VZD's was my best investment, Flip couldn't stay away from the smack. GL in all your plays the remainder of the season.

btw, as far as I know, I'm the only guy to have jumped off the balcony onto a table standing, lol.
I keep my copy of phil steele’s college football preview around for a ready reference. I just looked at his list of teams that he had as those who would be most improved. Kind of interesting.
1. TCU (5-1 SU – 6-0 ATS), 2. Florida (3-3 SU – 2-4 ATS), 3. NW (3-4 SU – 2-5 ATS), 4. Air Force (5-2 SU – 3-4 ATS), 5. Nevada (4-3 SU – 4-3 ATS), 6. La Tech (4-3 SU – 5-2 ATS), 7. Memphis (3-3 SU – 4-1-1 ATS), 8. Tenn (3-4 SU – 3-4 ATS), 9. NC ST (4-4 SU – 4-4 ATS), 10. Army (2-5 SU – 2-5 ATS), 11. Akron (4-3 SU – 2-5 ATS), 12. Indiana (3-4 SU – 2-5 ATS).
So only 3 of those teams have winning records ATS (that is what counts right). Florida has been a big disappointment so Steele was not alone there. He was dead on about TCU.
Still like his magazine and his online site. Don’t necessarily follow his picks but he provides a volume of reliable information some of which you can’t find anywhere else. Hard to be right all the time right.

There were two tables pulled together. I told my date and everyone else that I could jump off and land on the two, not fall down. And then some idiot just had to bet me.....not the smart play. Hit both tables, leg on each, had to buy a round obviously, and then was asked to leave....yeah, but I own this place, lol. Ah, to be young again. I'm gonna miss that town, when I moved there in '86, it was freakin dead, now look at it.
