October 3 in the SEC

Alabama @ Kentucky. 12:21 on ESPN360.com, ESPN Game Plan and possibly on SEC Network. Kats begin looking forward to basketball season.

LSU @ Georgia. 3:30 on CBS. I'm about to toss a coin. Heads is for LSU, tails means Dawgs win. Drum roll....Didn't like the first bounce. Decided to go 2 out of 3. Heads landed twice, so I'm picking the Tigers to upset Georgia in Athens.

Ole Miss @ Vanderbilt. 7:00 on ESPNU. Rebels win. If Vandy hadn't burned me a couple times, I might have called for an upset.

South Carolina State @ Sloth Carolina. 7:OO, no coverage or prediction.

Arkansas vs Texas A&M. 7:30 on ESPN2 and ESPN360.com. Don't know much about the Aggies, so I'll take the Hogs to win this one.

Georgia Tech @ Miss State. 7:30 on ESPN360.com and ESPN Game Plan package. Jackets defeat Dan Mullen's Dogs.

Auburn @ Tennessee. 7:45 on ESPN, ESPN360.com. UT desperately needs this win. But, they ain't gonna get it. War Eagle!

Florida has a bye.

SEC Today

In what is becoming a rainy day throughout the southeast, a couple of SEC teams have already kicked off.

LSU is leading Mississippi State 23-14 in the 3rd quarter in Starkville. Game is being shown on SEC Network (WPCH in metro Atlanta area).

At 3:30, Arkansas travels to Alabama to take on the Crimson Tide. The game will be shown on CBS. Tide barbecues Petrino's Pigs.

Kentucky hosts the Flu fightin' Gators at 6:00 PM on ESPN2. Kats will feel sick after Florida stomps 'em.

Ohio University takes on the Vols in Knoxville at 7 PM on ESPN30.com. Kiffin can sing Rocky Top tonight. Vols will win.

Auburn is home versus Ball State at 7PM on ESPN360.com. Auburn will have the game won by halftime.

Arizona State battles the Dawgs in Athens at 7 PM on ESPNU. Jawja wins.

Vanderbilt is at Rice. Kickoff is set for 8PM. There is no coverage of the game.

Notes:

I guess I should mention that South Carolina pulled of a huge upset Thursday night, when the Gamecocks beat Ole Miss 16-10.

In ACC action, FSU has looked lousy all day, but true freshman Greg Reid just returned a punt deep into South Florida territory. 2 plays later, FSU has scored. USF leads 14-7 with 12 minutes to play in Tallahassee.

On the flats, GT leads UNC 17-7. Jackets have the ball with about 9 minutes left in 4th quarter. Roddy Jones just got a 1st down. Jackets are at midfield.

North Texas @ Bama. 12:20 on ESPN360.com and SEC Network. NP.

Tennessee @ Florida. 3:30 on CBS. Vols win!! Just kidding. I ain't wearing the "crazy hat" this week. If UT can beat Florida, then I can date Paris Hilton. Sorry, Lame Kiffin (and self), it ain't happenin! Gators win 357- 7. And, the only song Kiffin will be singin' is the Rocky Top Blues.

*NP = No prediction.

Happy Birthday, Sammy!

September 12 in the SEC

Florida International @ Bama. 7PM on ESPN360.com. No prediction. We already know the outcome.

Mississippi State @ Auburn. 7PM on ESPN360.com Tigers go 2-0.

Troy @ UF. 12:21 on ESPN360.com. (Not sure about this, but there are rumors that TBS might carry the game throughout the south) No pick. Ain't necessary.

South Carolina @ UGA. 7PM on ESPN2 and ESPN360.com. After their poor showing vs Oklahoma State, I'm very nervous about predicting these Dawgs to beat anyone. If that subpar performance is a true indicator of what UGA is capable of, then I'd be afraid of Marietta High School. But, Georgia never goes 0-2 to start the season. So, (deep breath) I'm picking the Bulldogs to win an ugly game.

Vandy @ LSU. 7PM on ESPNU. Look out for the upset. Commodores ain't 'sposed to win. So, they will. This is a reach, but I'm willing to say that LSU's season begins to unravel in Death Valley. Sorry, JD. If I'm wrong, you can call me crazy.

UCLA @ Tennessee. 4PM on ESPN and ESPN360.com. Kiffin's Vols are vastly improved from the un-UT-like squad we saw in '08. Tennessee will be singing Rocky Top all night long. Will the coach save his energy for Florida? Doesn't matter. Vols win.

Arkansas (hosts UGA on 9/19/09), Kentucky, and Ole Miss have a bye this week.

Saturday is just hours away. It's time for some teams (UGA are you listening?) to MAN UP!! Click on the title of this post. Here's a hint. Steve Spurrier is coming to Athens.

UGA @ Oklahoma State. 3:30 ET on ABC. Dawgs destroy Cowboys.

LSU @ Washington. 10:30 ET on ESPN and ESPN 360.com. LSU slaughters Huskies.

Missouri State @ Arkansas. 7:00 ET on ESPN 360.com. I'll refrain from making a prediction. Too easy.

Louisiana Tech @ Auburn. 7:00 ET on ESPNU. Dooley's Dogs upset the Tigers.

Charleston Southern @ UF. 7:00 ET on ESPN360.com No prediction. Once again, too easy.

Kentucky @ Miami of Ohio. 12:00 ET on ESPNU. Kats win.

Western Kentucky @ Tennessee. 12:21 ET on ESPN360.com Kiffin gets 1st win.

South Carolina Vs NC State

The 2009 college football season has officially begun. It's early, but Sloth Carolina leads NC State 7-0. After they stopped Sloth Carolina's first drive of the game, NC State took possession of the ball. Unfortunately, the Wolfpack didn't hold onto it very long. On the first play from scrimmage, RB Toney Baker got blasted by a Gamecock defender, and put the ball on the turf. Sloth Carolina DB, Darian Stewart recovered the fumble. Then, Sloth Carolina ran right through the Wolfpack defense for a cheap score.

Following the gift TD, NC State went 3 and out. The Sloth Carolina special teams unit blocked the ensuing punt. But, after an offensive interference penalty nullified a Sloth Carolina touchdown, the Gamecocks were forced to punt. NC State took the field from their own 20. Russell Wilson and company looked a bit shell shocked. At the moment, NC State is LUCKY to be trailing by just 7 little points.

As I'm typing these words, NC State just missed a huge gain on 3rd and short. Sloth Carolina safety, Devonte Holloman (True Freshman) made a nice play on the ball to break up a long pass from Russell Wilson to a Wolfpack WR, whose name I don't remember. 1st quarter is history. South Carolina 7. NC State 0. Stephen Garcia just got sacked on 3rd and 18. But the Gamecocks downed a 51 yard punt inside the 5 yard line.

To be honest, I would love to see this game go to 25 overtimes. That won't happen, but UGA plays Sloth Carolina on September 12 in Athens.

I'll be posting updates throughout the remainder of this game. Check the comments section for more details.
