Alabama for me

[SilverBritches]

Tennessee for me. I always love going up there for games.

Is it a home game for you? PAY ATTENTION!
:D

[JerryBeeds]

I'd have to say Clemson or Florida. I can't decide between those two... On the one hand you have SOS's first game against our biggest rival, the game is huge for in-state recruiting. On the other hand you have SOS's first game against his former team. I guess I would have to give the edge to Florida though because I've been to a ton of USC v. Clemson games, but I've only been to a Florida game once.

[The Hawg of Honors]

South Carolina in FAYETTEVILLE!!!!!!!!
to see the ole ball coach, and finally getting to play SC in a stadium that doesnt look as if it about to fall to pieces is pretty exciting.


That and everone else on the schedule, I have already seen or don't care about (Vanderbilt).

Yeah, and THIS particular game with Florida ought to be something to behold! I hope I can record it or something. Gotta see Darth Visor across the field from DisturbinUrban. That should be priceless!
;)

[ColonelKurtz]

The opener vs. Boise State.

[palmettocock]

Florida without a doubt..........steve spurrier vs the gators??? that game will be rockin

[OmahaBound]

i can only go to UCF, Bama, and Florida so it has to be one of those three. i guess i'm looking forward to the Florida game the most just because the atmosphere will be crazy i'm sure.

[Djshockley3]

The opener vs. Boise State.


Its USC for me,I hope I can make it out there for that one. :D

[jneesy]

there is no doubt in the bama nation

gotta be them vols....we'll be out for blood

[IH8Orange]

Yeah I am looking forward to seeing UT come down and play. It will be my first UA/UT game. Coming in second...LSU...looking forward to seeing team number 2 in the SEC West ;)

[BeeDee]

Gotta be LSU. It's always the best game of the season - even better when it's at home.

[pc72687]

I would say either UGA or Alabama! Can't wait to see if the gamecock faithful's predictions come true. If not we have alot of explaining to do on these boards!!

isnt the georgia game at georgia this year? :D

[pc72687]

Oops! I totally forgot that. Well, I guess it is just Alabama then. But I will be watching the UGA game closely on TV!!

[WDavE]

I'll go with our first one...

Georgia Tech

After that game, I look forward to the change in Auburn perceptions that reside here....

[Cianne]

Which means what?

[WDavE]

That we will be better then some here think.....

I don't think beating Georgia Tech is going to turn very many heads. Beat them by 24+ and yes, but them like you probably will by 3 to 10, no. Good luck with GT tho.

Why do you say that? There are several polls that have Ga. Tech in the Top 25. Will you feel the same way if Georgia doesn't spank Boise St.?

I'm waiting to see how Cox performs and then our unknown rb's.

[OrangeCrush]

UGA and it is not even close. This is not to discount USC and the visored one return to Knoxville. Spurrier back to Neyland makes for a nice headline and should provide much comic relief the week preceeding that game. As far as the dawgs are concerned, there is still a matter of payback for the 2003 game.

Ga Tech is ranked high off an enigmatic QB and a vaunted defense which isn't much different than Auburn who is starting an unproven QB with a vaunted defense.

The only parallel I see in Georgia-Boise State is that Georgia is also starting an unproven QB with a big defense, but all of Georgia's RBs are back while Auburn has to go with Tre Smith.

I'm also waiting to see how Cox and your RBs go but I don't think Georgia Tech is going to be the determining factor for my impression or any others unless Auburn beats GT handedly. Right now I think Auburn is a very solid team with a great defense and a questionable offense. It's going to take more than one game to change that.

[HSVTider]

LSU. It will be the first time my Dad has ever seen a game in Tuscaloosa. Also, his health is pretty bad. So it'll be a special trip for us. I just hope it is still a special trip on the way home :).

[Cianne]

I know the feeling. I think this is the last time we'll ever be able to get my grandfather up to an LSU game in Oxford. Best of luck to you.

[pc72687]

I think Auburn is going to be good this year. Not as good as last year just not good. LSU has the west this year. Even if Miles is a rotten coach (which I doubt) his team is full of talent.

You both have my sympathy, of course, and my prayers for the health of your loved ones; however, that sympathy will not spill over onto the playing field. Look for LSU to lay a whipping on both Ole Miss and Alabama in their own stadiums.
:)

[hmsdawgs]

I'm looking forward to the Auburn game the most. I hope to be able to get some revenge for the buttwhoopin we got last year, also, it will be the only game I am going to this year...so thats probably the biggest reason!

[SilverBritches]

That we will be better then some here think.....

I can relate with you Dave. Everyone in the SEC thinks both of our teams lost to much talent to compete for the SEC Championship. However, both of us feel like our teams are going to be better than everyone thinks. While you may feel the same was as most of the SEC about Georgia's chances, I think Auburn is going to be pretty good. I think LSU will be too much for Auburn to handle this year so I think Auburn finishes at 9-2.

[SilverBritches]

You don't think you got your payback last year? Sheesh, you UT fans are brutal. ;)

[pc72687]

Well what is the excuse for the UT and UF fans. What have we been getting payback for all these years? Ya'll blow us out every year.

[CarolinaGrad]

Well what is the excuse for the UT and UF fans. What have we been getting payback for all these years? Ya'll blow us out every year.

I gotta disagree with you on that. The Carolina/UT games have been very close, except for last year. Remember all of those overtimes in 2003?

[Tydefan]

The Tennessee Game. Unless of course we are the home team for the SEC Championship Game!

[volimhtown]

You don't think you got your payback last year? Sheesh, you UT fans are brutal. ;)
Trust me...winning in Athens last year CERTAINLY does not make up for the a$$-kicking the Dawgs put on us 2 years ago. Especially considering that most Dawg fans consider UT's win last season a "fluke". The Vols should be pumped for the Dawg's visit this season!! GO VOLS!!!

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but GT could be very tough this year. They will have one of the best running games around and a VERY good defense. ESPN has predicted them as the possible sleeper in the ACC this year. Reggie Ball has been much improved in the spring from what I have been told, and with Chan Gailey's job on the line, I do not think he will hesitate to pull Ball if he does not perform early on. One should also keep in mind that GT historically plays tough opponents first game of the year, and normally they play them very well. They beat Auburn 16-3 I believe in the first game in very recent history. :cool:

[GTmorris1970]

Tennessee rarely ever blows us out. Those are usually close, exciting games, except for last year of course. :cool:

I don't think everyone in the SEC is saying UGA and Auburn are not going to be good, they are simply pointing out all the question marks. I certainly would not be planning a trip to Atlanta yet if I were a fan of either team. No different than being a Carolina fan at this point. ;) You simply cannot lose THAT much offensive talent if your Auburn and be the same offense. I'm sorry, I don't see it for a minute. Look where those 2 RB's went in the draft!! I am not saying they won't be good, but certainly not the same. If your UGA, you lost of one the best QB's in SEC history, and replace him with a guy who at times throws as many interceptions as completions. You guys are thin at MLB, and you cannot run the ball the entire game in the SEC anymore and win. Ask us Carolina fans about that, too!! This is going to be a fun, exciting season in the SEC for sure. :)

[ColonelKurtz]

You are absolutely correct, most Dawgs DO consider last year's win a FLUKE. UGA will return to the erector set beside the moonshine polluted river this October to drain whatever "power" that has been restored to that ugly abomination of the 20th letter of the alphabet and which is prominently displayed in a putrid and offensive color in the middle of the playing surface.... ;)

I will now take leave for a few hours as I enjoy CSS's Classic Replay of the famous meeting in Obnoxiousville between our two teams back in 2001. You remember....

""10 Seconds, We're on their 6. Michael Johnson turned around asked the bench something. And now, Greene makes him lineup on the right in the slot, we have 3 receivers. Tennessee playing what amounts to a 4-4, Fake, and there's somebody Touchdown! My God a Touchdown! We threw it to Haynes. We just stuffed them with five seconds left! My God almighty, did you see what he did! David Greene just straightened up and we snuck the fullback over! Haynes is keeping the ball! Haynes is come running all the way across to the bench. We just dumped it over 26-24. We just stepped on their face with a hobnailed boot and broke their nose. We just crushed their faces!"

[uscrebel]

Ole Miss - LSU = Hoddy Toddy!
(Alabama was a very close second.)

USCal - UCLA = Fight On!

Everything else is just filler.

[SilverBritches]

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but GT could be very tough this year. They will have one of the best running games around and a VERY good defense.

PJ Daniels is a very good running back. However, he gets injured about as much as Brodie Croyle does.

[pc72687]

Yes recently the UT game has been close (excepting last year). But you don't have to look far into the past to find the blowouts. I unfortunetly have a great memory and remember those games so vividly.

Wow, I really do not like you right now. Ok, we can say that last year's fluke victory by the Vols in Athens over your pups is payback for the 2003 game. We still owe you for 2002 and 2001. Unless the Vols put a 40 point victory over you this year(not going to happen), it is going to take victories in 2005 and 2006 to get things even. I expect the Vols to take care of business this year, but I'll wait to proclaim the 2006 ballgame a Vols win.

You don't like me Now??!!?? I'm CRUSHED!!!! (The Colonel cannot constrain his open mouthed howls of laughter)

Ahem.....settle down OC...(rofl, this IS a target rich environment)

A Fluke was the '03 game, for such a blowout wasn't envisioned by any of the greats like Miss Cleo, Kreskin, or even Jean Dixon. ;) :D Yes, I was very embittered by UGA's performance last year but the game ended with UT as the victor.

I'd say right now today that UT Should be the East fave and do so without any reservation whatsoever. This year's Vols more remind me of the great and double tough UT teams that I've watched for many years. The O should go with Riggs providing ample punch behind a typically good OL and with timely use of the forward pass to an unappreciated group of WR's. Complimented by what should be the best D since '01, I do favor the Vols to represent in the ATL.

Though I will not conceed anything prior to game week, my Dawgs will be an underdog coming in as well they should be for a meeting with what I expect to be no worse than a once beaten bunch of Vols.

See, I'm not unreasonable at all....but I do enjoy messing with folks.
:D

Come on man, don't you think we endured enough during the 90s? ;)

I think the past 4 out of 5 don't even come close to the 90s.

[OrangeCrush]

No, the dawgs have not endured enough. You will have to understand that I am greedy and need as many victories over the dawgs as the Vols can get.

And it is not like I have Col. on my "hope he breaks his leg" list. The 2001 game was very brutal if you are a Vol fan. I saw that one in person and to go from top of the world to down in the gutter in the time it took Greene and team to drive that final drive is cruel and unusual punishment. It got ugly after the game as well. Unfortunalty, to many low-class Vol fans decided to show their arse after that game. My luck turned worse after the game as I found myself in the middle of a soon to be fight leaving the stadium. A few of us tried to calm things down and what we got for our efforts was being called UGA lovers and wondered if we were going to get into a fight with Vol fans. Luckily, the Cops were close and shut down the BS really quick. A good friend of mine, who is a UGA alum, had his back windshield broken by a rock. I would have won a Vol board for both halves if Georgia had not scored on the last drive of the game. It was just one of the worst days to be a Vol fan. Add to it the bitch-slap the 2003 game was and you know why Vol fans still want some payback.

Like I said in my first post, it is Georgia and it's not even close.

[USC66]

I'm going to say I am most looking forward to our first home game. Not so much for the opponent but more so because I can hardly wait for the season to start. :D

This activity is why I usually stay away from SC's away games. Too many drunk fans getting their panties in a wad.

[drkralc]

The UF Game at The Cock Pit. Going to be alot of energy at that one. Probably a Gameday game too.

[GeauxTo]

That is definitely one that I want to see, too. I'm sure it will be on TV; if it conflicts with an LSU game, I'll just record it. High drama, seeing Spurs against those who asked him to "send your resume". Ha-Ha-Ha I look for Darth Visor to give DisturbinUrban a lesson in coaching.
:p

[LBT]

I've got to go with the clemson game on this one. We've got to start taking care of our own backyard before we worry about anything else.

[pc72687]

LBT I agree totally about the Clemson post. But the SEC is more important overall because it is how we will be ranked and recruiting wise it will help out a whole lot. Since most of the teams we are fighitng for the best players are in the SEC!

[Volnooga]

This season has to be the UGA game...

[roosterj37]

I cant wait till 2006 LSU in Knoxville and Florida in Knoxville that will be fun

[GeauxTo]

I cant wait till 2006 LSU in Knoxville and Florida in Knoxville that will be fun
I know what you mean; we've got Tennessee, Florida, and Auburn at home this year. Very exciting!
;)

[91gator]

tennessee is by far the best home game for us.

[Dr. Pepper]

After the 2001 game in Athens, my son gave me a big hug and said "I love you dad." As we walked back to our car, I asked him, "Listen, what do you hear." "Nothing," he said. I am hoping that the bulldog faithful will be just as quiet on their way home this year. How we do in Athens will be a huge indicator of the rest of the year for the Gamecocks. I look forward to this game more than any.

[SilverBritches]

Look forward to a bad season then. ;)
