The Bad: The Florida football team still looks awful.
The Ugly: Mark Richt. Seriously, dude. THREE RBs fail a drug test BEFORE the Florida-Georgia game, and you suspend them for New Mexico State? That is not okay.
Anyway, Florida DESTROYED Catholic in its opening exhibition basketball game. And Billy D got to see his son, so that was nice. More to come on basketball in the coming weeks!
So today we have the "GAME OF THE CENTURY." I hear strong arguments for both sides. But I'm picking LSU over Alabama. Partly because I hate Alabama more. Partly because I think the honey badger is better than Richardson. And well, mostly because Les Miles is the luckiest man in college football, and LSU always seems to shine in years when the National Championship game is in Louisiana. So as a Gator, it pains me to say this, but "Geaux Tigers." ::sigh::
More importantly in the world of Gators, it's homecoming! I wish that mean Brantley was going home. He was supposed to be a psychological help last week. That didn't work out. He made me want to throw things at the tv and pull my hair out. Throwing the ball out of bounds immediately when no one is rushing you is NOT a game strategy. And I can't even blame Weis for that. That was just Brantley doing his best impression of Dan Werner. Brantley, you've had your chance. It's time for one of the freshman to take over and prepare for next season. Come on Gators, win for homecoming!!!
A few picks today:
Rutgers over USF (Rah! Rah!)
Nebraska over Northwestern (Go Big Red!)
Oklahoma State over Kansas State
Random upset pick: South Carolina over Arkansas
and of course, LSU over Alabama
Not too many high-profile games this week. LSU-Alabama is in a league of its own (other than the obvious that they're both in the SEC West, they're obviously the best 2 teams in the country - this is the actual national championship game.)
The Florida game is at 12:21pm on the SEC Network - so I'm off to a Gator bar early to celebrate Gator homecoming.
GO GATORS!
