Week 11 SEC Picks!!

 

(Pick-et Fence...see what I did there?) 

Florida @ South Carolina:  This game scares me simply because it's Florida, and we're South Carolina.  But you know what?  We're a better football team, forget our histories, we are currently, this year, a better team (sorry Trip).  We should win this game, but I fear we will find a way to not win.  BUT working in the Gamecocks favor is that we lost last week and dropped outside the top 10.  That means people aren't paying attention to us anymore so that means we should play well.  That and I still can't get on board with John Brantley, but he's probably due for a 500 yard, Case Keenum-type game.  The best news though?  Kickoff is scheduled for noon, before the Georgia game so our level of play won't be affected by the outcome of the UGA/Auburn game.  OUR PICK:  Carolina

Kentucky @ Uncle Ned:  You'll notice I didn't call the Wildcats by their common Bagmen nickname.  That's because I respect Kentucky and I respect Joker Phillips, immensely.  I mean Gamblin' Boss weddings and great football, that's what Kentucky does baby!!  In all seriousness I'm trying to respect them because Gamecock fans may need them next week vs Georgia.  God help us if it comes down to that, but in the event that it does I say simply, "C A T S Cats Cats Cats!!!!"  OUR PICK:  Uncle Ned...come on now, I'm respecting Kentucky but I'm not a idiot.

Auburn @ Georgia:  Auburn is a great program, there's no doubt about that.  They've earned all their success in the last two years the good, hard working, HONEST way.  Absolutely nothing sketchy has gone on or contributed to any success they've had.  Gene Chizik was a great hire.  I said it at the time they hired him...just a great hire, a visionary hire!  (In case you are wondering, the same principle from the Kentucky/Uncle Ned game is applying to this game as well...really need Auburn here).  OUR PICK: Georgia...damnit.

Tennessee @ Arkansas:  Arkansas fans are prayin to Mike Huckabee that they don't lose this game.  that way they can continue the charade that they still have a chance to play for the national championship.  Or at least pretend they can beat LSU in two weeks.  Stop Arkansas, just stop.  You're annoying everyone.  No truth to the rumor that Derek Dooley is trying to change the term to "Orange pants-Freshman," to honor his pants...seen below:

                                                         

(Which pair has the three month wait? Hmmmmm???)

The only way I would watch this game is to see if Dooley decides to needlessly burn someone else's redshirt, i meant, burn someone else's orangepants.  OUR PICK:  Arkansas

Western Kentucky @ LSU:  I know Carolina plays The Citadel next week which is even worse than this game but I hate this game cause it's happening this week.  I have nothing else to say about this game.  OUR PICK:  LSU

Louisiana Tech @ Aunt Kathy:  Good news Rebel fans!!  The end has officially commenced.  Houston Nutt is out at the end of the year (and the AD too, but who the hell cares about him), so next year you can be irrelevant under a different coaching staff!!  HOORAY!!!!  Just had to get ride of Coach Cutcliffe didn't you?  Here are some fun facts about Louisiana Tech so you can impress your friends:

1). Terry Bradshaw went there

2). Their Coach's name is Sonny Dykes, his father's name is Spyke Dykes (really) which makes them the best father/son coaching name combo in college football.

3).  Karl Malone went there

That is all, those are the only fun facts about Louisiana Tech.  OUR PICK:  Aunt Kathy...somehow.

Alabama @ Mississippi State:  Dan Mullen is fighting for a bowl game again.  But sadly he is gonna get no help in this game.  Alabama is gonna roll through this team.  The game being in Starkville adds only slight intrigue, but the lack of ability to move the ball on Alabama kiiiiinda negates that intrigue.  Bama is a better team so game over.  Sorry Dan.  OUR PICK:  Tide will roll (damnit I did it again).
