anyone know where I can listen to it on the net?
Broadcasting from cell phones. Audio is choppy.

You Penn State fans ... yeesh. No confidence in your team going into the game vs Michigan. How do you feel now?
Congrats on the W against Mich. Now, stroll into the Shoe, drop 50+, 40+, 30+, 20+, heck, just win and make my prediction true.

This is the game that could most likely prove to be a stumbling block. I know their offense has stunk up the joint this year, but Auburn and Alabama is always a dog fight. Always.
Nothing is written in stone until the game is played, especially between bitter rivals.
However, of the 5 teams I listed, Auburn is the least of Bama's concern IMO. I expect Tenn to put up a bigger fight.
I have no idea of what you know regarding Auburns problems, but Auburn's offensive woes run much deeper than a mere learning curve. The problem is coaching and/or higher, and is threatening to put the entire program in chaos.
Recent events have put the Tigers stuck between a rock and a hard place. Tuberville says he is committed to the spread offense, but the only guy on Auburn's staff that had implemented and ran such an offense was Franklin, and Franklin got shown the door. If Tuberville continues trying to incorporate the spread, Auburn's offense will continue to be pathetic, and there is a real chance the Tigers could go 1-4 down the stretch with no bowl appearance of any kind. Certain people in lower AL will NOT be happy.
On the other hand, if Auburn returns to some type of power running team, they increase their chance of winning games and a bowl appearance. However, doing that risks losing the recruits Tuberville has already gotten commitments from. As it is, based on the recent events, there has already been a handful of Auburn recruits publicly declaring they are no longer fully committed to Auburn and will look at other options. One of them, DE Montez Robinson, is now being wooed by Bama. If Auburn starts losing recruits to Bama: Certain people in lower AL will NOT be happy.
Damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.

1. West coast team travels cross-country to play a 10am game against an up-start team that is 4-1 and fresh off a bye.
2. Coach Jauron is a great game-planner and has had two weeks to prepare.
3. After two road games and a bye, rabid fans hungry for a home game will rock the building.
4. The return of Trent and Roscoe.
5. Chargers have the 31st ranked pass defense.
6. Our pass defense is ranked 8th, which is good going up against Rivers.
7. LT is still hobbled and hurtin.
8. We're still number one in the NFL on 3rd down defense.
9. Norv Turner is their HC.
Spliced a couple of posts together, and did some editing. Key points are in bold.
The Bills can pull out a victory here. Let's not give up.

There's a need to get a better starter than Ellison on the field, but there's no need to cut him or get rid of him. Ellison is a solid backup LB/coverage LB. And for a 6th round pick, i'll take that in any draft.
Sorry. I was not trying to imply they should get rid of the guy, but they would be looking to replace Ellison in the starting line up with somebody else. Ellison is clearly a back up LB, and to call him a "starter" in order to promote the idea a certain draft was good is dubious.
-
Ellison, Simpson, Kyle Williams, and to a certain degree Butler are fringe starters at best. I'd argue that Youboty is the best of the bunch, aside from Donte of course.
Of course, claiming Ellison is a "starter" is a stretch to begin with. If it was not for Crowell's surgery/non-surgery, and subsequent placement on IR, Ellison is riding the bench this year. At this point, I think it's obvious Ellison is on the short list to be replaced this upcoming off-season.
-
Some people will never be able to be reached. I don't see how anyone can blame any problems from the Donahoe era on this front office. If the guy who had your job before you at work really sucked should you be blamed for his mistakes?
Tell that to a customer standing in front of you complaining your company failed to honor it's service contract or sold him a faulty product. Do you think he really cares which employees fault it was?

I wouldnt put it past either saban or petrino to bolt for auburn. Both are classless pieces of trash and despicable lying scumbag humans.
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.
As for fisher, he's got a guarantee that he'll be the next coach at FSU by the end of the 2010 or 2011 (i can't remember which) season in his contract. If that time comes and goes, FSU owes him 2.5 mil i believe. If Fisher bolts before then, he owes FSU the same amount.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.
-
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.
As a QB who does Edwards most remind you of

D. Trent Edwards
Answer: D
If he continues to progress, he'll make a name for himself. In the future, we will not compare Edwards to anybody else, everybody else will be compared to Trent Edwards.
