Ouch. Okay, last week I predicted that THE University of Alabama Crimson Tide would NOT be upset by the South Carolina Gamecocks. I stand corrected. Carolina was a little sharper, a little more crisp, and seemed to want it more. The TIDE defenders barely missed close interceptions and tackles. Garcia and company barely got their first downs and big plays.
ON to THIS WEEK:
Ole Miss travels to Tuscaloosa's Bryant-Denny Stadium to face an angry and embarrassed Tide in a televised (ESPN2) night game. I won't say it will get ugly, but it could be a looonnng night for the newly-christened "Black Bear Rebels". WTF...? After years of controversy and turmoil, a bunch of bad publicity and finally a campus-and-alumni vote, THIS is the best they could do...?
(Incidentally, click on this to see voting results. Ole Miss is about as swift as auburn!)
Like the saying goes, 'close' only counts in horseshoes and hand-grenades...!
Apparently, the off-week was a bit of an advantage, and BAMA's lack of rest took it's toll. The SC defense was smothering, pressuring Greg McElroy and getting uncharacteristic sacks. Their offense was ON, clicking and making the big plays when they had to. The Cocks beat The TIDE. Flat out. All day. Not by much- except for the score. Hopefully, we'll see 'em again December 4.ON to THIS WEEK:

(Incidentally, click on this to see voting results. Ole Miss is about as swift as auburn!)I STILL like MY "Hotty&Totty" mascot/logo idea better than the "Black Bear Rebels".
At least mine is relevent and incorporates the wishes, both old and new, of the people.
Doesn't matter. The Tide wins this one going away. Ole Miss will pay for the sins of Carolina. BAMA will feel like they have something to prove, and won't take the foot off of the accelerator.
ALABAMA 35, Ole Miss 10 (Could be worse if Tide really gets rolling!)
The REST of the SEC:
In what is arguably the biggest game of the day, the Arkansas Razorbacks travel to auburn to face the plainsmen/tigers/war eagles or whoever. THIS should be an exciting matchup, where whoever is holding the ball last wins. It's really a toss-up, as these two are pretty even. The real difference will unfortunately be home-field advantage.
auburn 49, Arkansas 42
LSU 35, McNeese St 14
S. Carolina 28, Kentucky 20 (Can the 'Cats pull an upset after last week's SC victory?)
Georgia 31, Vanderbilt 17
Florida 21, Mississippi State 20 (Possible Bulldog upset?)
tennessee is yet another opponent with an off week before facing The TIDE next weekend.
