So when is the Pick 'em board gettin updated?

[Hardie]

I was just curious to when the pick 'em board was going to be updated for both SEC and NFL. I find it kinda interestin to see how my picks stack up against others on this site. I was just curious :D

Who did you pick for the SEC Hardie?

[Hardie]

I believed i picked Tennessee, Georgia , and LSU , thats just off the top of my head. I think those was the only three SEC games played this week.

I picked Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas and MSU.

[Hardie]

I picked Ole Miss over Miss St , I just went and relooked at my picks. Hey I might can actually gain some ground on ya this week lol

Yep...we should be tied after today.

[Hardie]

Any Idea when they going to update them both ? I know the NFL one is close to 2 weeks behind.

Usually Chris I believe updates them within a few days. He's a real busy man. He'll get to it probably by Tuesday.

[Hardie]

I figured thats what it was. I know dude is busy and all. I wasnt tryin to be pushy or nuffin i was just a curious. So if we go into the SEC game tied maybe you should pick Tennessee so i can pick Auburn and win the board lol :p ... Just a thought lmao

YOU MUST BE CRAZY! LOL There's no way I would bet on Tennessee beating Auburn. To do that, you would have to convince me to play a game of "Russian Roulette" with my semi-automatic Glock 31. (.357 Sig) :D

[Hardie]

LoL i guess we might need an SEC pick 'ems plus one game to break our tie at the top or maybe we can be co-national pick 'em champions lol

I don't get to talk to him that much anymore. He has a few sites that he works on, goes to school, works full-time and raises a family. WHEW!

I PM'd him earlier today about the BOTD feature. I have tons of CD's full of willing models :) that I would like to contribute. heh heh

[Hardie]

A friend of mine told me about this site , his name is Ryan and hes from Tuscaloosa and he got me to join it months ago. I am all for the BOTD comin back lol. Thats alot of things to be juggling and Im just glad its him doing it and not me lol. I really like this site tho, actually Ive come to be a lil addicted to it lol.

Dude...for me...addicted is a nice way of putting it. Lately things haven't been going well here with the wifey and I have been spending more time on here because it's one of the few places where I can enjoy myself and talk to other SEC fans considering I live in ACC/UNC territory.

I really LOVE this site. That's why I signed up to be a News Writer. I love this site/college football and I wanted to be a part of it and watch it grow.

We still have the bowl games to predict. I forgot all about that!!!!

[Hardie]

Sorry things arent going well at the moment with the wife but we all know how women are sometimes. I do about the same thing tho. Ill come online and post stuff in here and read stuff just to get away from things here. It used to be the sports chat rooms that got me but chat rooms arent really my thing anymore. I tell ya man you are very informitive and a nice guy and Im glad you are part of the site. Your posts and a few others are pretty much what keeps this place going and expanding as well as it has lately. We still got the bowl games to pick too , I forgot about that myself lol Are ya watchin the USC / Notre Dame game on ABC now? USC is startin to pull away from the Irish.

Yep! I'm watching it on WSOC-4 out of Charlotte.

Well, I used to go to collegefootballnews.com all the time until RW-13 recommended this site to me. Since I came here for the first time, I do not care to go anywhere else. I look at it this way, Chris made me audition so to speak for the News Writer position and one way I can show my appreciation to him is by helping his site and it's members. Last time I checked, I already have 15 referrals and I am constantly advertising this site and telling people about it. The more people, the more money he makes, the more features and such he can add.

I also try not to report on just USC stuff. I try to spead it around and report news on all teams. Sometimes, that isn't always possible though. Let me tell ya this, if it wasn't for this site keeping me busy, I would have already gone "Holy Bat-Pee" on my wife at times. LOL!

[Hardie]

LoL I know what you mean there man. I dont understand all the features on this site and all just yet but I havent really tried to do anything but start new threads and pick games lol. Like the rep thingy it dont move i dont reackon and the referrals confuse me but its all good. I get to pick games and make replies so im good to go lol. I think you do a great job on reportin news on all the SEC teams. Like I said i really enjoy readin ya posts and look fwd to new ones. Im a big fan of discussions and debating things and this site does that very well and is right up my alley.

Ditto! I may be a USC fan but, I was rooting for Alabama when I went to the Sugar Bowl back in 92 I think it was. The Alabama/Miami showdown. My uncle was CEO of SuperValu before he retired and he had a skybox in the Sugar Bowl. He invited my sister and I to that game and it was one of the most exciting I have ever seen.

The best play was when DB George Teague stripped that Miami WR of the ball and ran it back. WHEW!

[Hardie]

Heck yeah man , that play is legendary around these parts lol. I tell ya I was 12 yrs old when that game was being played and that was and still is the greatest Non Play ive ever seen in my entire life.

You should have been there! It was crazy! We were in a skybox and we almost had to holler at each other just to hear.

Man I love going to college games live. There is nuffin better in the world to me than a Saturday night in Tuscaloosa watchin the Tide play. Win , Lose or whatever you know you have experienced Tradition by the time the game is over. Im sure you feel the same way about goin to an SC game too. I totally decided next year I will be in Auburn for the BAma / Auburn game. going to start puttin back ticket money now lol

Yeah that was my first taste of Alabama football. USC games are pretty loud at Williams Bryce too. I used to do Security for the stadium during football season so I got to see the games for free. hehehe That is when I wasn't doing something else.

[Hardie]

LoL I heard that man. I think thats a huge diffrence in NFL and college too... fan support. My friend Carrie used to do vendin at Legion Field in Bham and she got to go to her fair share of games back then. She's usualy my football watchin buddy and is pretty much the only person ive gone to the games with for the past 3 yrs. Anything involvin Alabama athletics we'll sit and watch even if its something like checkers lol

Typical LACK OF CLASS by Mr. Pete Carroll. You were up by 24 with 6 mins left to play and you run a fake punt and score another TD. They are just wanting to run up the score and make a statement.

I've been to Legion Field before. Whenever I used to go visit my grandma in Indianola, MS I used to stop in Birmingham and fill up with gasoline. I think it was an EXXON right across the street from Legion Field.

[Hardie]

Yup , hes pullin a Stoops. I guess its like Herbstreet said on ESPN game day this morning, USC is goign to come out make a statement and run up the score to hush all the critics of them being #1. I still say AUburn could whoop them in a straight up game.

Yep I believe that Auburn would take em in a straight up game. Hopefully Auburn won't get the shaft!

Auburn really gonna have to put a hurtin on Tennessee in my opinion to be able to vault Oklahoma but never know how the Big 12 game is going to come out either. I believe Oklahoma is playin Colorado if I'm not mistaken.

Oklahoma is playing Colorado in the Big XII. The guys earlier were saying that Colorado actually could upset Oklahoma. Colorado has some top notch talent and some big playmakers on it's team this year.

[Hardie]

I think its going to take a Colorado upset to get Auburn into the title game. Colorado is one of them teams that I think can jsut come up and beat anyone on any given Saturday. YOu never know what Colorado team you going to be playin , they either gonna be really good or really bad.

I'll make a "Oklahoma Jason White" voodoo doll and stick pins in him all through the game. LOL Do you think it will work?

LOL it just might but dont forget about that Adrian Mcpherson running back they got.

[Neo]

Ok...gotcha! White and McPherson. I'll look up there numbers tonight on ESPN.

[Hardie]

Only downside to Auburn winnin the championship is that they are our arch rivals and they are going to hold this over our head for years lol. Thats ok tho we got 12 national titles ( 5 more that arent really mentioned ) and over 20 somethign SEC titles so I guess I can live off of that for a few more years unless they get on roll and start gettin close to us lol.

I look at it this way. I would LOVE it if USC was playing for a NC. Since they aren't and another SEC team is, I will root for the non-USC SEC team anytime, anyday.

[Hardie]

Yeah I get what ya sayin I love the SEC too so i guess i can stomach some pride and rout for Auburn but Imma keep that a secret so the other Bama fans dont kill me lol

LOL yeah but imma have to hear it from my pop and momma cuz they both Auburn fans lol. Matter of fact most of my friends are Auburn fans lol

Most of my friends here are UNC fans so I know what you mean. I still think that USC should schedule UNC every year too. It would revive an OLDDDDD rivalry. They haven't played each other in years!

[Hardie]

Id be a fan of that and maybe add in NC state and Duke some too. Just gives it that area rival type feel yanno.

Yeah...bingo!!! Well, we played NC State in 1999 and the last time we played UNC was 1991.

[Hardie]

i can feel that , I would like to see Alabama and Auburn play some games against Troy and UAB myself. It would help promote all the schools involved and can maybe spawn some new rivalrys and hopefully exciting ballgames.

[Neo]

That's my point. How do you know if it wouldn't be a good rivalry unless you play the game? Scheduling UAB or Troy would be good for the program. It would help yall with in-state recruiting and it would help the smaller schools with exposure. So you in a sense, help each other. I'm all for these smaller schools playing tougher schedules. In my eyes, it gives them credibility. Even if UAB were to lose to Bama 34-10, I would still look at UAB with honor because they tried their best and gave it everything they had.

That's why I support what Central Florida does. For the last few years, their OOC games have been against Top-25 opponents. They are trying to legitimize their program. You will only get better when you play the best. Look at USC for instance. When they joined the SEC 12 years ago, they were horrible. They now have a fighting chance.

Like I said earlier, when you play the best, you will only get better in time.

[Hardie]

I agree with ya 100% on that. I think alot of other teams would benefit from interstate rivals with smaller schools. Like you said it would help them legit their programs and it would also help with keepin key recruits in state at atleast one of the states schools. Plus you never know when one of these lil teams will come up and upset one of the big boys and that will totally bring respect to their program.

When you multiple instate rivalries, more recruits will stay instate. I guarantee you that. The state of Alabama is lucky though. They have multiple Div. I teams. South Carolina does not.

The only Div. I teams in SC are USC and Clemson.

[Hardie]

I think we got a total of 4 ... Bama , Auburn , Troy and UAB. We got other teams like Tuskegee and Alabama STate and such but yanno what I'm saying.

I do not condone Div. I teams scheduling a THRASHING of a Div. II team. The only way I would condone that is if it were a scheduling emergency. Sorta like what Auburn had to do this year by scheduling The Citadel. It's virtually no different than a 10th grade student beating up on someone in Kindergarden.

Example: Kansas State vs. Alabama A&M

Kansas State is notorous for scheduling pansies!

[Hardie]

I think Mississippi State had to do that this year too when they scheduled Maine but look how that turned out lol . Maine ended up kickin their butt.

[Neo]

Yep...USC had to do it too because of Sept. 11th. They ended up scheduling Wofford. Except Wofford didn't kick USC's butt! <<Snicker>>

As for Mississippi State, I think Mr. Croom has done a great job. This guy inherited a bunch of turds and he did what he could. It's going to take time to build that program, but I think he has it going in the right direction.

[Hardie]

I agree with ya there, I think within 5 yrs Miss St will be back to where they was in the mid 90s when they was one of the toughest teams in the SEC. Overall with the direction the SEC is going it looks like the whole confrence is going to be even tougher than what it already is. I dont think Mr. Stoops nor Mr. Carroll would be going undefeated this year had they played in the SEC.

If ol' Mr. Carroll would play even half of an SEC schedule, he would get his butt stomped. Everyone says that the SEC isn't as good as it has been and that is partially true. I think the weaker teams are just getting better. The SEC is in my humble opinion, is just becoming more and more competitive. The top teams aren't losing per say, the weaker teams are just getting better and are close to being on par with the big guys!

[Hardie]

I agree with ya on that. Its gettin to where just about every SEC team is competitive and could go and play another confrences best and give them a run for their money. Im very interested to see how we do in the bowl games. Id love to see a clean SEC sweep of the bowls we are in and I think thats very possible.

Yes it is possible and btw, speaking of conferences, am I the only one that thinks Nebraska should NOT have fired Mr. Frank Solich? I have been a USC/Nebraska fan since I was knee high and I could not believe my ears when I heard that. Here's a guy that goes 7-7. He's told to make changes or he's gone. So he fires all of his staff, hires a new staff and goes 9-3. Then what does the AD do? They fire him. I still cannot understand the rationale behind that. For the first time in 35 years, Nebraska will NOT be going to a bowl. I think what kept Nebraska on top was continuity in the program.

[Hardie]

Yeah I think that was a bludner on the part of the Nebraska decision makers. Frank was doing a great job but seein as Nebraska has that winnin tradition they felt a 9 - 3 season was gettin away from what they wanted. In firing Frank they plumited the program down to medicrocy. I think they are going to have to hav ea strong recruitin year and discover this thing called the forward pass to get Nebraska back to where it needs to go. I wasnt a big fan of them hirin Bill Calahan either. Nebraska is a long way from the days of Tom Osborne and the option offense.

Don't fix it if it's not BROKEN! Continuity is the key. If you do the math, Solich's first few years were better than Osborne's.

Osborne was Devany's asst.
Solich was Osborne's asst.
and so on and so forth. That's 30+ years of continuity.

Callahan is a PUTZ!

[Hardie]

Kinda like at Alabama where we keep tryin to hire our head coaches from "the family". I agree with doing that too cuz its ppl that know the school and the system and keep continue the winning ways of the program.

Well it looks good for the program. I mean all these Moms and Dads that send their kids to school, they want to know that the coach that recruited their kid is going to take care of him the whole time he's there. It reflects positively on the school when they pass the torch down like that.

[Hardie]

You are correct plus also it keeps some of them kids of former players at the same school as their parents went too.
