And then there was one.
And FSU better hurry. A bigger portion of the Auburn world is getting pissed off with Tuberville. Apparently, questions regarding job security have been asked during interviews.
Some of the replacement names being tossed about in the delusional minds of Auburn fans:
Butch Davis
Brian Kelly
Dennis Francione (sp)
Bill Cowher
Lane Kiffin
Nick Saban
Bobby Petrino
Jimbo Fisher

50 points, that part was out there! Bama is pretty good! What was he drinking?
The Mizzou Kool-Aid, heavily sweetened with UB, Nevada, and Nebraska.
Both Gordio and I tried to warn him, but he did not want to listen.

Follow college football long enough and you learn that the natural order of things lasts until next the next game.
If you want in the BCS and you have to lose a game, do it early (USC and Florida) not late.
Missouri took a pounding in the polls for their loss.
USC and Florida look primed to climb back up the rankings. Florida and Alabama are headed for a classic.
The potential of having Bama in the SEC CG is a nice thought. However, I would rather not think that far ahead.
Bama still has to play Ole Miss, Miss St, Tenn, LSU, and Auburn.
Ole Miss and Miss St are not great teams, but are being coached by Nutt and Croom. While those two screw balls can make some of the stupidest football decisions known to mankind, both can motivate their teams and spoil the plans of their better opponents (see Ole Miss vs Florida, and Miss St vs Vandy)
LSU got buried by Florida, but is still only 1 game behind the SEC West leader Alabama. If LSU were to run the table from here out, LSU makes the CG. And do not think that is impossible. 4 of their last 6 are at home, and that includes the game vs. Bama.
While I like Bama's chances vs. Tenn and Auburn, both schools are Alabama's biggest rivals. Anything can happen.

You are sounding a little like Stl Bills!
Maybe. But then again I'm not saying Penn St is going to stroll into Columbus and drop 50+ points on the Buckeyes.
Penn St is playing good ball, and IMO, when the dust settles in the Shoe, Penn St will walk out with the "W".
As for the score of the game, who scores what, and whether or not the spread is covered, that's for y'all to figure out.
-
Penn St still has not played anyone. Wisky stinks. Where do they play Ohio St this year? I have a feeling that game is going to have national implications for both teams. Isnt college football great!!!!!!
IIRC, at the Shoe in Columbus.
Too bad for the Buckeyes, it will not matter.

I thought you were a bama fan???? No team has a more impressive resume then Alabama right now. The only other team that could come close is Texas. It should be Bama #1, Texas #2, Penn St #3. & you know what, I would take USC over any one of those teams on a neutral field right now. This is going to be alot of fun the next few months.
I am a Bama fan. I am not allowed to be objective? My opinion is not intended to be an insult to Bama, but it is more of an observation of the characteristics of the polls. How many times have we seen teams that were idle get leap frogged in the rankings? I am not saying Penn St SHOULD be #2, but based on the present evidence (Bama idle, Penn St. 7-0, wins big in Madison) I would have not been surprised if they were.
Now, as for me personally wanting Bama to be #3, that is more of a strategic thought. Bama still has 6 games left, and they are a young team. My biggest fear is some of the freshman get caught up in the hype, and allow it to inflate their ego. That would make them ripe for the picking for a team like Ole Miss or Miss St. A loss to one of those teams, and Bama could kiss a NC goodbye.
-
As a Penn State fan I am VERY pleased so far but at this point I do not see how you can put the Lions ahead of Alabama.
Why not? Bama sat out this week, and that has a tendency to work against the team on how it's ranked.
Penn State is now 7-0, and they got the last one by walking into Madison, WI, and blowing out the Badgers.
-
1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Penn State
4. Texas Tech
5. USC
The CBS commentators of tonight's Florida-LSU game mentioned the potential top 3 makes it sound like the 1960's again.
It did'nt take long for USC to get back in the picture again.
Please pollsters, have BYU leapfrog USC!!! Maybe the pollsters will be merciful to Oklahoma and only drop the Sooners to 5.
Actually, I would not be surprised to see Texas and Penn State ranked above Bama. In fact, I hope both teams end up that way. Still too early in the season to be #1. That just puts a big fat target on the teams back.
I agree with you about about BYU. They should definitely be ahead of USC.
The biggest joke is/was Auburn. How does a 4-2 team who beat teams like Miss. St and Tenn with scores like 3-2 and 14-13 even deserve to be in the top 25? Over teams like NC, Mich St, and even Wake Forest?
I suppose with this newest loss to Arky, Auburn will drop to 25.
-
No I just don't think that is as important of a question as you do.
Great! I hope the Mizzou players and coaches feel the exact same way.
Then when the Tigers get their jaw jacked by a real smash mouth team (and it doesn't even have to be Bama), it will be fun watching you trying to explain what happened.
Mizzou hasn't had a single three and out all year......NOT 1!Have they scored every time they touched the ball? No? That means they can be stopped.
It doesn't have to be 3 and out. 5 and out will do. 6 and out will do.
Our defense has not but played great this year but our best player has been hampered all year with foot injury and will be back healthy for Okie State.Unless that player is a DL or LB, it will not matter. Having Moore tackle a RB 5-6 yards past the LOS is NOT a good thing. Smash mouth teams thrive on getting 5-6 yards a crack. That's their intent.
Its obvious we have different opinions but the whole argument is a dumb one unless they somehow meet in the national title game.You are right. We do have a difference of opinion, and the argument is somewhat dumb.
Mizzou ran the scores up on teams like UB and Nevada. Meanwhile, Bama has played 2 (alleged) top 10 teams, both of the wins took place away from Bryant-Denney Stadium.
And you might want to consider those facts before you run your mouth again.
-
Yeah and Clemson or UGA's offense is no where close to Mizzou's offense....
I am not saying Bama would shut down Mizzou, but I seriously doubt Mizzou will hang 40+ points on Bama.
You're to focused on how does anybody stop the Mizzou O. They do not have to stop it. They just need to keep it in check, preventing the shoot out.
The question you seem to miss:
How does the Mizzou D prevent the Bama O from controlling the game, and dictating the tempo?
-
We only need a few seconds on the field to score
Seconds maybe the only thing the Mizzou offense will ever get.
The Bama D "ain't" the UB D.
-
Don't get me wrong I think Alabama is an excellent team from the two games I've seen but I just don't think they have the fire power to score points with Mizzou or OU. Mizzou is leading the nation in scoring and is YET to have a three and out this year.....thats fuggin nuts. I think people need to quit drinking the SEC koolaid and realize in 2008 the best conference in the NCAA is the Big 12.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah ...
I've heard the same thing about Clemson (how will Bama contain Thunder and Lightning - more like Fizzle and Drizzle)
I've heard the same thing about Georgia (how will Bama ever deal with Stafford and Knowshon "NoShow" Moreno)
Bama is playing old school ball.
A punishing running game and strong D.
It would be hard to score when the Mizzou offense is standing on the sidelines watching the Bama offensive line grind that Mizzou defense into the turf.
-
theres more to it than the direct snap. the QB split out wide, the motion and option of the other RB coming across...
I haven't watched any Dolphins game this year, but that sounds pretty similar to Houston Nutt's WildReb (f/k/a WildHog when he was at Arky) offense.
I may have to watch the next Dolphin game to see. Maybe they will bring back the Wishbone and the Veer.
-
that we're 4 and 2
Fixed it.
And I agree with your post. The Bills need to win the division to guarantee a playoff spot.
It does not matter if they do it as 10-6 team or a 14-2 team.
If they do lose to the Chargers (and I am not so sure they will), it will be just another game to learn from, and move forward.
-
My pleasure. I just listened to it again and I just noticed the absolute lack of crowd noise. Back when people used to go to concerts to listen not scream, yell and god forbid talk. Jimi had a way of putting the audience in a trance.
And here I thought it was the drugs that did that.

14-13 over Auburn
Beautiful, isn't it?
Auburn nation is now in meltdown mode.
-
"We're two minutes away from being 5-0 and probably ranked No. 2," Tuberville said.
"Heck, we could've gone to No. 1 if we beat LSU. Think about it. They did win the national championship."
Keep dreaming Tubby. As the story points out, you are also only two plays away from being 2-3.
Your "War Chicken" offense is laughable as evident by your "blow out" wins over Miss. St. and Tennessee.
But even you finally figured that out:
-
Why does everybody think he would be sedate?
I remember Levy having a similar demeanor, but when he was miked up, he had no problem throwing out the obscenities.
I distinctly remember one where he kept telling the ref a particular call was a "chickensh!t" call.
-
Outstanding win by Alabama tonight. The Big 12 is looking good right now, but the SEC is still the toughest conference in college football from top-to-bottom. Is Vandy now in first place in the SEC East?
Yep.
-
And now Wisconsin!
And now "JawJa"
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

That would be my point. You're using our opponent's combined record to judge the Bills, yet its the Bills who decide our opponent's combined record.
Circular reasoning.
The Bills only decide a portion of their opponents record (In this case, one third. And to point out the obvious, by the end of the year, it will be 1/16th).
So, remove the Bills influence all together. What's left? Seahawks, Jags, and Raiders are all 1-1, for a combined 3-3 (.500).
Not exactly a gauntlet of a schedule.
It is only week 3, and nothing is written in stone until the end of the year. However, based on what we have seen so far, the Bills have faced some mediocre opponents. Of the 3 teams the Bills faced so far, I think Jacksonville will be the only team that will have a shot at the playoffs.
-
What would their record be if the Bills had lost to them?
If the 2008 Bills had lost all three games to their 2008 counterparts, the opponents record combined would be 6-3, and half this board would be under suicide watch.
-
Weren't two out of three of these teams in the playoffs last year?
Seahawks and Jags. So what?. The 2008 Bills are not playing the 2007 Seahawks and Jags.
As of right now, the three opponents the 2008 Bills have played have a combined record of 3-6.
-
You're right on with what you're saying. We're seemingly always "almost beating" the leaders. The Chargers game, as things stand now, will be a test. You have to believe they're being fully battle tested right now. They lose a heartbreaker Week 1 on a last-second play, and they lose a WTF'er Week 2 on a bad call. They're in a perfect position to make a run right now; they run through the weak stuff: Jets, Raiders, Fish, NE and Bills. I'm sure when the schedule came out, Charger fans were licking their chops. And to be honest, they're not too far from reality. Favre basically knows 3 or 4 plays from the Jets playbook. The Raiders suck, and if we don't beat them handily, then we suck, too. The fish suck, too. NE hasn't done anything to impress me with Cassell except barely escape the games they needed to barely escape against two shiitty teams. I think SD kicks the living shiiit out of them.
So assume the Chargers go on a 4-0 run, and take out the Jets, Raiders, Fish and NE, and then have to play on the road in Buffalo? If this team is real, the Bills win the game, and yes, that's when people in passing, in the office or on the phone, will suddenly say something to you like "Hey, you're Bills are looking pretty good lately."
Let's take it one step further. Assume the Chargers only go 3-1, losing only to the Pats*. Would the Chargers still be considered "the test"?
How about if the Chargers go 2-2? Losses to NE and the Jets (Favre now knows 8 plays).
Personally, the Bills are contenders NOW. With the loss of Brady, NE no longer has a lock on the division title, and the soft schedule being dealt to the Bills, a wildcard spot is practically being handed to us. Anything less, a certain HC of a certain Buffalo team needs to be shown the door. Excuse time is over.

Temper, temper, Ramius. The FSU "Return to Glory" is not happening fast enough for you?
You're clueless if you think Saban will leave Bama for Auburn. Auburn cannot match the recruiting clout Alabama brings to the table. Besides, the financial aspects alone pretty much rule that option out. There are a lot of other coaches they could get for cheaper.
Tuberville has a $6m buyout clause. If Auburn does part ways with Tubby, and becomes seriously interested in Fisher, I doubt another $2.5m will get in their way.
Look on the bright side, if that does happen, Tuberville will be available.
