:idea: Terry's right. Oregon looks like a monster...a very fast monster. Saturday in Eugene is where the rubber duck meets the road. Good luck! Eugene, Oregon is where the Yellow Brick Road ends. It's the place where Elmer Fudd, Bambi, D.B. Cooper and Snoop Dog all come together in a gigantic, marijuana-laced, purple pumpkin smash-up. Even the National Park Service doesn't go there any more. Kids who have disappeared from the L.A. Unified School District often show up on their roster... <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/yLotgXLy-2E?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Actually this is the guy that the Vols have to watch out for...he plays dirty. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nkbKjtuNJhQ" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I don't envy the Vols this week. Oregon looks pretty damned good so far. I wonder if Butch Jones is scheming and planning for the Gators this week with secret trick plays, hours of film study.....etc. :lol:
I see the spread is Ducks minus 27.5 points so I stand by my litmus test for the worry-about-Tenn meter. If the Vols hang within 14 and do it legit then I'll officially be worried on the 21st when they come callin to the Swamp. If they don't cover the spread then I say check off the "not ready"..... like in the Cheezits commercial. :wink:
while I've got you on the line... if Oregon smokes or handily beats UT, and then UT beats Florida.. does that make the entire SEC East irrelevant for the rest of the year?
The SEC East certainly is not, nor will it be, irrelevant. HOWEVER, at this early stage of the season, with the score ACC 2, SEC 0, it's obvious that the ACC is relevant. Right, Corey? :wink: I kept waiting for "somebody" to point that out, but the silence was deafening. :lol:
Obviously UF would be even more irrelevant than they already are... ( would write the Gators off entirely except for that defense.. ) .... but.... Georgia? Win them all the rest of the way including a win over a tough LSU squad and the Dawgs are hardly irrelevant. SC almost the same except the sched may not be as hard. Anyone winning the East with one loss will get that big bounce at the end if they manage to beat whomever represents the West in Atlanta. Big if.....
Sid, I have no completed my ACC training portion of the course, ergo, I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm trolling with heavy test line early in the year. I did mention the ACC in the other subject though Dave, Can we get a hard number at what point in time a team is out of the title talk?
Corey..... the hard number for any of the SEC "haves" would be 2 losses.... unless there was sheer chaos like when LSU went with 2 losses. So..... 2 is the hard number.
