Week 9 Rewind! (I missed the preview...)

I knkow y'all were heart broken, but sadly I missed a preview of games this weekend.  I have no excuse folks,  I just flat out didn't write one.  I thought I would write one Thursday night, but I chose to rip Frank McCourt instead.  I thought it was appropriate due to his claim that a victim beaten within an inch of his life at his stadium, was at fault.  I figured I'd write one Friday night instead...yeah I jsut got lazy and didn't write one.  With that in mind, I will write a rewind of the SEC weekend!  Here we go...


(This is a real movie, I promise you.  See what I did here?)

Arkansas @ Uncle Ned:  God this was gut wrenching.  Uncle Ned came out (of a silly inflatable tube tunnel thingy) and played inspired.  Aaron's little brother Jordan played very well, running and passing the Commodores to a 28-20 second half lead.  Then...disaster struck.  Running Back Zac Stacy (two first names??) fumbled, untouched at the Arkansas 4 yard line.  Naturally it bounced right to a Razorback linebacker, who ran 96 yards (escorted by two teammates for good measure) for a touchdown.  THEN, Vandy drives 80 somethin yards for a game tying 27 yard field goal with :08 left.  Aaaaaaand the kicker missed it.  (Insert facepalm).  Here's to hopin Vandy can grab two more wins and go to a bowl game.

Georgia @ Florida:  Wow thanks Gators, really could've helped us out by winning this one.  I mean really could've helped us.  But that's fine, ya know what that's fine.  Also while we're at it, can we stop with the charade that this game isn't called the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.  Attention administrators of both schools; jsut because you don't call it the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, doesn't mean people aren't going to drink.  It's the same thing as not calling the Oklahoma/Texas game the "Red River Shootout" anymore.  Yeah cause everyone knows if you call it that, people will jsut start randomly shooting each other.  Anyway back to the Cocktail Party, John Brantley's first game back improved the offense, but it still wasn't enough.  Hey, anyone hear people calling for Richt to be fired?  Haven't heard from those folks in awhile.

Aunt Kathy @ Auburn:  The Rebels hung tough for a half.  And then they remembered, "Oh yeah, we're not that good."  I gotta root for Auburn next week now.  Please, please, please, beat Georgia in "The South's Oldest Rivalry."  I get the distinct feeling, the Gamecocks are gonna need that extra loss to win the division.  (More on that in this week's preview).  Just remember Rebel fans, four more weeks and your season is over.  Well, unless you win out and then can go to a bowl ga...haha nevermind I couldn't finish that sentence.

Mississippi State @ Herp Derp Nation:  I'm gonna be honest, I didn't even know this game was being played.  No idea what to say about it.  The Bulldogs won (against another generic mascot) so I guess that's good for Dan Mullen...not so good for Joker Phillips.  If you know anything about this game, please contact your local ESPN affiliate, otherwise this game will dissapear from the history books for all time.

South Carolina @ Tennessee:  Whew, thank god that one's over.  It's a little concerning that our offense has been pretty bad the last two weeks but hey at least we won.  As expected, Brandon Wilds had a good game, which was encouraging.  Also, I know I couldn't have been the only person to scream some variation of "What the hell are we doin?!?!?!" when we went for it on 4th and 1 down by 3 instead of kicking the field goal...only to then immediately jump up and say "Good Call!!" when Rory Anderson hauled in the go ahead touchdown.  For Tennessee, good call burning the redshirt of your "Quarterback of the Future"  only to pull him from the game the next week.  Seriously, good call Derek Dooley.  You pulled him for Matt Simms, who you clearly think is terrible or you wouldn't have inserted Worley last week.  But I guess we shouldn't expect anything less from a guy who dresses like this:


(Three month waiting list for these pants folks...three months)

I'll be back with a preview this week!  So everyone can rest easy this week (I know everyone's been worried) your favorite SEC/Sun Belt/Service Academy preview will return for week 10!!
