Battle for the West

October has just begun, but...on November 8, defending national champion LSU hosts the Crimson Tide and former Tigers coach, Nick Saban. In the atermath, both teams play two inferior conference opponents (Bama: Home vs Miss State and Auburn. LSU: Home vs Ole Miss, then @ Arkansas). This game will be very pivotal in the quest to win the west.
LSU is led by a powerful and dominant defense. So is Bama. The Tigers' offensive line is one of the premier units in the nation. So is Bama's. On special teams, Trindon Holliday is sensational for LSU. Javier Arenas, one of best nation's best return men, is a Crimson Tide highlight reel waiting to erupt. This could be the game of the year in the SEC. IF both squads are undefeated entering this contest, the battle for the west will be the game of the year in all of college football! The victor will be favored in the chase for two very prized championship rings (SEC and NC). If you love college football, DO NOT MISS THIS GAME!

Ouch!

#3 Georgia and #4 Florida both got knocked out of the top 10 on Saturday. I wasn't expecting either team to lose. I'm still puzzled by the Gators' loss to Ole Miss...IN THE SWAMP! Ouch! Both teams still have a shot to win the east, but it ain't gonna be easy. After a trip to Arkansas, Florida returns to Gainesville and hosts national champion LSU. Georgia is off, but must find a way to beat Tennessee on October 11. The Dawgs host Vandy the following week. Then, Georgia must travel to Death Valley (the real DV).
During a post game press conference, Florida QB Tim Tebow apologized to Gator fans and vowed to play harder and with more focus and intensity than any other division 1 athlete. Georgia is looking to regain their confidence and remember what it means to play "Bulldog Football." These rivals square off on October 25 in Jacksonville. The victor could become a factor in the race for the national championship, but they'll need some serious help along the way.

C.J.'s Perspective

Written by C.J. Cribbs III:

Ala-dam-bama. We just lost to Alabama! Unbelievable!! (Pounds fist on table). What a bunch of (expletive). Willie Martinez, your defense is a freakin joke. You shoulda been blitzin in the FIRST HALF! Our chances of winning a national championship are ruined thanks to you. Your lucky to still have a job! I have NEVER seen a worst Defensive Coordinator in my life! Absolute (expletive, follow up expletive).

-There was too much profanity in the rest of this article. Therefore, that portion was deemed "unpostable." I wanted to provide C.J. with a forum to express his disappointment, but as he usually does, Cribbs went too far.-

Introducing C.J. Cribbs

My good friend, C.J. Cribbs III, often loses his temper during football games. Especially when "his Dawgs" are trailing or have just lost. This Saturday, I had to step in between him and an irritated Ohio State fan. As Alabama began to destroy the Dawgs, Cribbs lost his cool.
"Dude, it's just a game. Chill out!" hollered the Buckeye.
"Just a game? Are you (expletive) serious? In the SEC, it ain't NEVER just a freakin game!!" Cribbs completed his tirade by standing up and emphatically throwing his beer can across the back porch. That's when I decided to step in. The situation settled down, but piqued my curiosity as well. C.J. Cribbs III may be a little extreme/hardcore, but I'm sure he ain't alone. Are you, or anyone you know, a sports psycho? If so, do you have any advice? Cribbs is a good friend, but I'd like to help him tone it down a little.

Rushing Tide

Through the first 4 games of 2008, the Alabama Crimson Tide are leading the SEC in rushing, with 236.8 yards per game. The Alabama offense is led by RB Glen Coffee, who boasts an average of 8.6 yards per carry. The Junior from Fort Walton Beach, Florida is coming off a stellar performance against Arkansas. Last Saturday, Coffee ran for 162 yards on just 10 carries versus the Razorbacks defense. Glen had a long run of 87 yards and scored two touchdowns, as Alabama routed Petrino's pigs 49-14. Joining him in the running back rotation are rising stars, Mark Ingram (Junior) and Roy Upchurch (Freshman). Ingram has 263 yards rushing and averages an impressive 6.1 yards per carry. Upchurch has gained 181 yards on 26 attempts, for an average of 7.0 yards per carry. This trio has combined to produce the most explosive rushing attack in the SEC. Throughout the first 4 games of the 2008 season, they have gained 848 yards on the ground and scored 7 touchdowns.
Alabama is playing extremely well in three major aspects of the game. First, they are dominating opponents with a strong rushing attack. Secondly, the Crimson Tide has showcased spectacular special teams play, sparked by the athleticism of Javier Arenas. And finally, the Alabama defense has been stout, fast, and nasty. Opponents beware: The Tide is rising fast!
