Alabama is having a “bye week” this week, but even so, a big day of SEC football is about to get underway. As the ESPN guys are about to make their predictions, I’ll make mine:
1. Arkansas at Auburn. I want to see Arkansas win (no, actually, I want to see Auburn LOSE) but I’m afraid I have to predict that Auburn will win. 🙁 Watching, hoping for a miracle from Arkansas.
2. LSU at Florida, in the Swamp! I’m hoping for Florida, and I’m picking Florida! 🙂 Very anxious to see the outcome of this game.
3. Georgia at South Carolina. I don’t really have a horse in this race, but since South Carolina ruined Alabama’s perfect streak a few years back, I’m not really a fan of South Carolina. I’ve done a little research and I feel Athens, Georgia might be a nice little town for retirement (lots of time to convince Russ!), so I’m rooting for Georgia. I also think they will, in fact, win.
Well, those are my thoughts before the games get underway. I’ll check back later to report on how it all went!
UPDATE: 9:30PM
Well! It was a pretty good football day. Auburn was handily beaten by Arkansas, to the point that afterwards Coach Chizik issued a public apology to the fans.
LSU had their heads handed to them on a platter by the Florida Gators. This is not the same LSU we faced last year in the National Championship. They have been cut down to size, and today’s Gator chomp did even further damage. Go, Gators!
Not surprisingly, Georgia lost to South Carolina, but it was a surprise how badly they were beat. Still, as I said, I didn’t have a horse in that race, so not that big of a deal to me. After a while that game got boring and I spent some time editing the podcast instead.
Next week Alabama gets back into the action. In the meantime, though, it’s unlikely that anything that happens this weekend will threaten our current #1 ranking.
Roll, Tide! 🙂
