What I don't get about a majority of the $EC's fan base, is the holier than thou act, when they've (as a conference) have been hit by more NCAA sanctions than anyone else.
Jaxbuck;2341216; said:I lived in the heart of SEC country for the better part of 13 years. I never heard an SEC fan go the holier than thou route.
I heard them incessantly go the better than thou route, well before it was true every year, but the holier than thou stuff is pretty much a northern thing, with ND, scUM and PSU being its main practitioners.
As ORD alluded to, the SEC fans are by and large grounded in reality when it comes to what their football programs and the schools attached to them are all about.
RB07OSU;2341246; said:I'd like to hear ulukinatme's thoughts on losing Golson for the year...Rees has been perpetually rotated in the last couple years but with extremely mixed results. Hendrix hasn't shown much when put in. Zaire (imo) is going to be a star but is obviously a freshman. Kiel is off to UC. Personally, I think as a senior Rees can play to the level of what Golson did last year but of course that is far from a given.
Part of the reason I feel this way is because Rees will have a solid OL to work with...big question is how he fares with most of his weapons (Wood, Riddick, Toma, Goodman, Eifert, etc.) gone. Daniels and Jones help but I think some incoming freshmen (Bryant, Folston, Onwualu, Heuerman, etc.) are going to have to make some big plays to help him out.
NYG21254246;2341220; said:I can't stand ND, but at least they play anywhere. Big 10 teams usually play 1-2 quality ooc games a year.
Only $EC team I've seen travel for a quality road game is Alabama (psu). The other "powers" like LSU, Tennessee, auburn, and Florida never do
BigWoof31;2341556; said:The team in bold is the biggest culprit here
LSU has been all over the place and UT (prior to Fulmer's exit) had one of the most progressive schedules around.
NYG21254246;2341580; said:I agree that Florida never leaves the state for an OOC game. When was the last time LSU played a true road game against a quality OOC opponent (eg Southern Cal, Oregon, Texas, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, or Nebraska)?
Same with Georgia.

Last September. Washington counts right?
As for the Dawgs, does 2009 in Stillwater count?
ulukinatme;2341256; said:Ultimately whoever starts at QB I'm thinking theres going to be at least 2-3 losses this season. I think Oklahoma will get us this time, I expect at least 1 loss in the Big 10, and I think Stanford will be our 3rd. I think we'll handle USC, BYU, and Pitt better.
Two things. Just bolding TheStateUpNorth isn't going to change anything. They're still gonna suck. Hoke is mediocre, at best.cincibuck;2343196; said:Ordinarily this would be a tough schedule, but Oklahoma will be breaking in a new QB. One loss to a Big 10 team? You lack confidence. With the exception of Ohio State, I don't see much in the conference. Michigan State will be down and still looking for someone who can play QB. Hoke is improving matters in Ann Arbor, but Michigan is a long way from being Michigan, Hope is gone from Purdue, literally and figuratively speaking. They'll be looking for a new coach in three seasons.
As for others: USC will have a great starting 22 and no depth.
Stanford looks to me to be your biggest concern. After last year's home cookin' they'll be anxious to have you see the sights at Palo Alto.
Let's face it, even Willingham could get athletes to come to South Bend. If Kelly can keep his sideline antics under control and his head from exploding the Irish should have a very good season.

Second, you don't think Hazell is going to do well at Purdue? I have the Purdue game as the most dangerous game during regular season for us.
