Excellent hire for UT.

These Bowl games take way too ****ing long.

He took care of his business.

Mizzou kept the trolls away

He was referring to bottom of the conference, but it's pretty obvious the top teams in the SEC aren't what they have been. A mediocre OU team spanked Bama and Auburn is a heavy dog in the title game. Even the 3rd best SEC team went down to the wire against the 3rd Big 12 team. The SEC is very good and maybe the best conference, but no longer head and shoulder above the rest.

If it's not KU trolls, it will be a few Mizzou trolls.


Nobody wins.

I think the breaks and halftime might take longer.

Although nobody playing a lick of defense in any of these BCS games isn't helping either.

Indeed he did. Had he stated Alabama was overrated he would be justified in what he said as he backed it up. He spoke down on another conference when the Top 4 representatives of his conference go a collective 1-3 he looks silly.

I heard him reference that the bottom half of the SEC was 0-32 against the top of the conference. He was stating that the conference as a whole was over hyped and he's correct.

I also think he did a pretty good job of pushing himself into the lime light with this whole thing. Good publicity.

Agree. They might not have been better from top to bottom than the Pac-12 this year.

If tahj Boyd is available in the third, we should take him

How's that record compared to the Big 12 out of curiosity?

He did and he deserves to. His team beat up a team that many thought was the best in the country. They were given no chance and the line for the game showed that. He has every right to gloat.

The record of the bottom half of the SEC against the Big 12 or the bottom half the of the Big 12 vs the top half of the big 12?

Either way I have no clue and am not looking it up tonight :D

Of course, the SEC is looking pretty good, though.

bottom half the of the Big 12 vs the top half of the big 12

Yeah, he pretty much played Rocky vs Ivan Drago.

The bottom five teams in the Big 12 won 0 games against the Top 4 teams in the Big 12.

So it sounds like the Big 12 and SEC are pretty similar in depth which was his point. Nicely done.

Good analogy, but unlike Rocky OU dominated from start to finish. No miracle comeback in the last five minutes or so.

The pick-6 that wasn't....

I am not going to take the time but I imagine you will find similar results in the Pac-12 and the Big 10.

Ok I lied..the Big 10 bottom teams had 0 wins and the Pac-12 had 2

Right. So most of the conferences are pretty similar in depth and the SEC isn't some machine with 10 teams that kick ass. You should forward him that info to use during his next interview to help back up his position.

Yeah, I was more referencing the whole "“He’s worried! You cut him! You hurt him! You see? You see? He’s not a machine, he’s a man!” with Drago being the SEC.

The best way to tell is how the middle to bottom teams did against opponents from other conferences.

Amazing post...perfection.

David Chesher @ZouDave
#Mizzou is currently, simultaneously, the most recent Big XII school and SEC school to win the #CottonBowl. Fact.

I was wondering about that earlier. Didn't realize they were the most recent of both conferences ROFL

92 percent of his yards were after the catch. Clay would have a stroke lol

Except the Big 12 could not even fill all of its bowl slots, the SEC is 6-2 this bowl season (with wins from the bottom half), and with KU being one of the worst, if not the worst school in Div. 1 football, I do not think that argument applies.

Well, as SaulGood likes to point out to Prison Bitch repeatedly, Ole Miss ( the #9 or #10 team in the SEC) put a hurting on Texas, in Austin this season.

It helps when you have more teams.

But like I said I think the SEC may still be the top conference, but if FSU takes down Auburn it's pretty obvious the conference was taken a step back this year compared to what it used to be. If that's blip or a trend will have to wait and see.

Yeah, a team from the SEC finishing as the runner-up as opposed to winning the national title for the eighth year in a row....that is a major step back.

If FSU beats Auburn, it more likely means that FSU put together a team that can beat SEC talent, as opposed to the conference taking a major step back.

Let's go Bison 3rd straight BCS championship win.

Based on what? I was not at all impressed. A ton of his yards yesterday were handoffs that were treated as forward passes or quick outside screens to Sammy Watkins. He is a running qb and a very so so passing qb. If I'm in the third, take a guy who can actually throw from the pocket like Murray or mettenberger.

What's interesting is that without the add of two big 12 teams, the SEC would have been brought back down to earth. The SEC is still bar none the best, but it was an off year. Even auburn... Just doesn't feel as dominant as previous SEC national championship game reps. If a&m and mizzou stayed in the big 12, wonder if they had a right to claim they were the best conference.

And no, I don't think close wins against really bad bottom of the conference big 10 teams validates anything.

The SEC will get back to form, especially with lsu and uga having healthy qbs. But this year was not one of their better showings.

That would mean the top 2 teams bit the dust and third place team sleeked one out. Not a huge step back but it is for a weaker conference this year than others especially is Auburn gets blown out. To say otherwise is sticking your head in the sand.

Oh shit, just saw the highlites from last night. Rough last few weeks for the Pokes. damn

The PI on the pick-6 was just atrocious last night.


It completely changed the game.

Explain how it wasn't at least illegal contact or at least GKY.

Absolutely. OSU still choked though

Why did the flag come out after the TD?


Didn't the receiver initiate contact?


Mizzou is by far a better team, but that play was bizarre, and the ref must have had the flag tucked in his socks to take that long to throw it.

FYI, I flew 4 people to the game, and they said the Mizzou fans in the crowd were laughing about how screwed up the penalty was.


The flag flew after OSU was celebrating FFS.

It was somewhat fitting that OSU lost on a questionable call.


They got a couple of wins this year directly from home-cooking. **** em'

Today's the big day. Florida State v. Auburn.

Who y'all got?

FSU, but I'm not putting any money on it.

FSU in a route. Big Game Bob exposed the S E C!

I haven't seen FSU in any games this year. How good are they? Is there anyone in the ACC besides Clemson? Duke never impressed me all that much.

There isn't, but FSU ended most of their games in the first quarter. Their toughest challenge was Boston College, if I remember correctly.

Good call. Eight years of dominance was exposed by the outcome of a single game.

SEC lays waste to the rest of college football for nearly a decade? Luck/Fluke/Overrated

SEC loses a game? This was a referendum!

Well yeah. Obviously my post was in regard to this season, but I under the need to be defensive. We shall find out soon enough this evening.

Defensive? Mizzou just beat Diet Ok by 10.

Yeah, you were defensive in your reply. I'll just give you credit that you assumed by "Exposed" you thought I meant the duration the conference has been in existence and not just this season though.

The SEC has been exposed...what does that mean, then?

It's easily the best conference this year...just like it has been for several years. The tenth place team just won a bowl game by five touchdowns. Seven teams have already won bowl games, and another is playing for the national championship in a few hours.

A good team got beat in a big bowl by the best program in the Big 12. The fact that people treat it like it was the Miracle on Ice part two tells you just how dominant the SEC is and has been.

FSU 44-28.

FSU by 2 TDs. Hoping Andy is watching the game. Next year's chant -

"Flameus for Jameis".

Hoping it will be a good game.

I will be honest and say that I know virtually nothing about these two teams aside from the fact that Auburn runs the ball well and Jameis Winston allegedly raped a girl and got the Heisman as punishment.

Just hoping for an entertaining game. I am a KU fan, which means I don't really get into college football...which sucks.

FSU may very well win in a route, but it would have absolutely nothing to do with the Sugar Bowl.

I think FSU wins by 17 points. Where Auburn's defense is weakest is precisely where FSU's offense is strongest. It would not surprise me to see a complete massacre.

It would also not surprise me to see Auburn win this game. Their running game is an extraordinary machine that can abuse FSU's undersized linebackers and block the piss out of the edges of the play. FSU has a theoretical advantage because they've been able to practice the option for three weeks. But simulation only goes so far against a team this disciplined and a scheme this smart.
