Egregious.

And, cease with the dumping of drinks on our football players when they beat you on your own field.

“Stafford floated a 25-yard pass to the corner of the end zone, where Henderson pulled it down in front of Alabama’s student section before being mauled by teammates and drenched by angry students throwing their drinks on the victors.”

Tide DE Gilberry eyeing Stafford

TUSCALOOSA - It was only Monday but senior defensive end Wallace Gilberry is already making plans to spend a lot of time Saturday with Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford.

And it seems likely the entire Bulldog team will soon know about those plans, too.

"I don't know anything about him," Gilberry said.

"But after the game Saturday, I can tell you anything you want to know - his birthday, his telephone number, his home address.

"I'm serious, because I will know."

So why will Gilberry need to know? "I've got to know where to send the flowers after the game," he said.

Interesting, you still have Bama at # 22 - bettered by Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, and South Carolina.

That makes six (6) SEC Teams, twice as many from The SEC East - The Best College Football Conference in the Nation by far. I certainly agree with your point.

[BAMAPERRY]

Grady, you're a basket case.

[Grady]

I wasn't the one who said how badly Bama was going to tear up Matthew Stafford to have John Parker Wilson get sacked, throw no touchdown passes, go 0 for 1 on 4th Down Conversions and 3 for 15 on 3rd Down Conversions - while Matthew Stafford was NOT sacked once, threw for two Touchdown Passes, went 1 for 1 on 4th Down Conversions and 9 for 19 on 3rd Down Conversions.

I don't see how Georgia jumps SoCar in the standings. Same record and a win over UGA puts the Cocks on top IMO. Wouldn't shock me to see Bama drop further with all the haters out there! (little joke)

Even though I was a long, long ways away from the stadium, I would like to apologize to UGA and their fans for any inappropriate behavior a few of our own classless fans displayed after the game. The dawgs played better football, looked like they wanted it more, and deserved to win. Congratulations!

Atleast Notre Dame lost again!

[Gamecocks4Ever]

I don't agree with it, but students will be students. Don't associate the entire fan base with them. It wasn't as if UGA's players weren't doing their best to piss them off. There were a few, one in particular (though I can't remember the number) who was ignoring the dogpile and making gestures at the fans. I only wish one of the drinks would have hit him right between the eyes.

Seeing some of your top 25 predictions makes me scratch my head. I like a lot of you, question Kentucky's complete team as a hole. There was no doubt the Cats had a proven offensive attack, lead by Woodson's strong arm and a host of very good receivers, But what I witness last night was a team that was complete in other areas. First, this idea Kentucky plays no defense is bull. This ole boys strapped it up and went at Arkansas hard last night. I see no backing off at all with this group of defenders. It was their defense that set the tone of the outcome of the game. A driving Arkansas offense look to be controlling the tempo of the game. With the hogs leading 20-7 and the Wildcat sidelines beginning to drop their heads as the hogs march down the field toward the end of the half, look as if Arkansas count be stopped when suddenly Michael Smith was stripped of the ball and a Cat defender took it to the house for the score. What would have been a 27-7 half time lead for the hogs, now is a 20-14 momentum change for Kentucky and a shot that Arkansas couldn't recover from. The second thing with this bunch is their running game. Brooks came in with a game plan and stuck to it. I can't say it was ran to perfection, cause Kentucky tried it's best at time to give the game to Arkansas, but we didn't want it.
This must be a case of, yeah, but they aren't that good sort of thing. Well guys, IM warning you. If you take these guy lightly, they will make you look bad. these Wildcats aren't your grandpappy's Cats. These guys are a new and improved bred. Until they are proven overrated, it's a crime ranking this club below 15th in the nation. They are the 2007 version of last years Razorbacks. They were overlooked early and bite a lot of teams in the ass to reach the SEC title game. They may not reach Atlanta since they are treading on new territorym but bet you money, they will have a say so on who will.
I rank them at 14th this week.

[The Ramp]

i simply took who lost and dropped them and moved a team that won up to their spot

[TigersFanTaylor]

I rank them at 14th this week.

Does this have anything to do with the fact they beat you?

17 is fair. Putting them at 17 isn't putting them down in any sense.

[shanksta13]

17 is fair. Putting them at 17 isn't putting them down in any sense.

For what it's worth, they are 15 in the Coaches Poll.

[TigersFanTaylor]

For what it's worth, they are 15 in the Coaches Poll.

Yeah I just saw that. I wasn't trying to say 14 was a stretch either. Anywhere in the mid teens was fair, and that's where they landed.

[GatorChomp]

They are 14th in the AP

[UKat]

I would have to put UK around 17th, I'm still pessimistic about them winning the big games..........as you have to understand we longtme UK fans have been let down so many times it conditions you to be cautious....we've had a lot of heartbreaks. I am proud of this group and they are deep at positions most folks don't realize. Yes this is a senior laden group when you talk Woodson, Tamme, Burton and Little...but they have 3 more RB's who are burners and 3 more very talented receivers as you've already witnessed in Stevie Johnson. Our OL is young and our DL is young. Our main hit will be losing Woodson but I believe we had some good ones waiting in the wings.

[PuddingTime]

I've seen my share of heartbreakers as well....I'm telling you enjoy this season UKat. We don't get enough of them to whittle away w/pessimism.
