                                   Ten Things We Learned




1.  Let's talk about this overrated thing called the SEC. Arkansas is a disgrace, Tennessee had a slug fest with Akron and the team that all of you said was most overrated should have beat LSU. If Auburn just doesn't shoot themselves in the foot the entire game they beat LSU. really the whole conference is overrated with the exception of Alabama. Yes, Alabama is a great great team and I give them credit. But after that, it's just bunch of teams, nothing special at all. You know what it proves? I tell you guys all the time in here. Playing on the road is the biggest factor in all of college football. The SEC is just like every other conference with the exception of Alabama.--yeap, and as i stated in my thread, if LSU is the next best thing after bama on the SEC, then we might veru well be handing the Tide the coaches Trophy already

2. Not sure if any of you watched TCU last week and this week. Something is definitely going on here. I not one of those conspiracy guys or anything, but What TCU did the last two weeks might make me one. They looked like they were on the take last week in Kansas as they tried everything humanly possible not to cover that game. This week was just the opposite. That late TD for Absolutely no reason really raises a flag. If anyone else seen or noticed this comment on it.--- mmm havnt payed that much of an attention to it.---- but we might have another Ga-Tech cover pt spread conspiracy

3. I think Clemson defense without question needs improvement. Trust me when I say " help is on the way ". Dabo is recruiting top level Defensive talent. In a few years things will change. As for this game goes, I think it showed me a few things. Playing on the road is the most difficult thing in college football, as previously stated. FSU is a very good football team, as previously stated. Clemson has a elite offense, as previously stated. But most of all, FSU is back people. Get use to it. Clemson needs not to hang there heads. I'm not sure any team in the country could win on Saturday night in Tallahassee against these guys.---helluva game, actually it could go either way, damn there was a Tv shot on the FSU bench , and some players looked releived more than happy-- Clemson by the wya wtf is worng with this programs that cant recruit place kickers of good quality


4. I know i have been riding the BIG 10 all year, and guess what? I'm not gonna stop. Wow. Power houses Central Michigan and La Tech came up north and put the smack down on the Big 10. La tech literally beat the shit out of Illinois. Thank goodness Sparty has a defense or they would be 0-4 right now just ask out covers brother Bense. Wisconsin might not be at .500 by the end of the year. Michigan scored 6 points on N.D this weekend. Matter of fact, the state of Michigan scored a grand total of 9 points against N.D in 8 quarters of play. This is the worst I have ever seen this league.--BigTen has looked like shiet so far---i like OSU to Smoke MSU--- an NEbby to butfuck Wsico..but all and all, B10 this year is a complete disgrace

5. Im gonna give you guys a little hint. If you haven't noticed, im betting the over in Rice games. Why you say? They cant stop our High school team here in Greenville. This is and has been easy money. There are tons of teams out there now that have after 4 weeks have showed us all who they are. Rice is one of them. I got believe I got the shakedown on a lot of teams now, and that is and will be very profitable the rest of the way. If you guys feel like you really see the " truth " in some teams, please share.

6. Loss of the day has to go to Washington S.T. But before you Leach haters get excited, I warned you that it was gonna take a few years for Leach to get these guys where they need to be. But with that said, losing to Colorado is about as bad as it gets. Someone asked me the other day on here how did I feel about Washington S.T being a 17 or 20 point favorite. I said not very good and the reason is, this team doesn't have any recent history of success so how in the world can the handle being such a huge favorite. Lesson learned.

7. Bob Stoops has never lost at home to a ranked team ever. EVER!! Until the wizard himself came to Norman last night. How man times must I say it people? Bill Snyder is a genius. What he done last night is remarkable on so many levels. Think about it. His talent vs Oklahoma's. His 2 star guys against your roster full of 4 and 5 star guys. Kansas S.T has a long road ahead for them, but I pulling for this team now. LOL, to go into Norman and do what they did last night deserves a special award or something. Yeah we can argue that Oklahoma is overrated, but not going into Norman is easy. How significant was beating Oklahoma in Norman last night? Bob was 77-3 going into that game last night at home.---i had stated your very words--- i had this tool handicapper33 laughing and saying how great is OU...well ..lesson learned--- what will happen if ksst ends up undefeated

8. I think we can all settle the debate about whether Oregon can play defense or not. I have thought all along that these guys were much better defensively then they were showing. They beat a pretty good offense in Arizona last night. But to shut them out was impressive. If any of you here on the East coast dont ever stay up and watch Oregon play, you need to. This team will be in the NC game this season. I feel pretty confident about that now. Go Ducks!..but yet--- there have been many surprises this year



10.  after week 4 of every season it will separate the men from the boys. I say GL  and stay focused.

stay the course

Yeah, I got that but you're an SEC guy, right?

You forgot to include the hapless buckeyes in this section. The big 10 sucks out loud and all do respect to SHARK above I dont see the buckeyes smoking anyone right now. I hope your right but I dont see it. Thanks Boom, keep up the good work.

The haters on this site are crazy. The hate the fact that I own them.

 

That one statement there (along with tons of others) is what makes others think you're a dick.  You're overrated and lots of people realize that.  Who knows why so many people read your stupid threads.  Theres tons of people on covers who have better records then yourself.  Thats all I'm gonna waste on this prick..

Arid_topor  - Agree to dis agree buddy. I think Mizz being a dog to C. Florida tells ya something. Just my opinion tho BOL this week

warcam - It is what it is.... Clemson lost to the 3rd or 4th ranked team on the ROAD. Nothing to hang there heads about.

LHsoccer - N.D will get better IMO... there problem is the brutal schedule Make no mistake about it... these guys are a good football team

Jbone - TCU is on the Take.... I will not be playing any of there games this season

SECMANN- Yeah I hear ya.... Your vols will be ok. I think they give Georgia a run for there money this week

Skipster - Not sure why you think I dont like you.....You have all the right in the world to say whatever you like... I have no problems with you I only get upset if people attack me personally. FSU is good man. As a Clemson guy I give you guy much respect... But there again, I did before the game...what you think about that offense we got? Its crazy good. If we can get better defensively, I think we could make a run at a national championship in a few years

Onthemound - Yeah your right...I dont know what im talking about... BTW... next time you try to make a point................Try not to use the words like If's and Buts..... If this If that But this But that.... Give me a break

Kroch - You cant say things like that...SEC nation will attack you. I agree, Clemson will and can score on anyone. Your looking at of the best offenses in the country.

222- Not sure where you have been.... but you need to come around more I think Penn S.T may get a little better as the year moves along. I like the coach, a smart guy

MGD -

Themog - It's almost like free money

Shark -

Hammercrack - your wrong kid... Im 29 - 25 overall this season... Lying sack of shit. I told you if your a man, prove it. Im here in Greenville SC KID.. .Come get it Bitch Do society a favor....pull the trigger

Sportsfreak -

papashago - My Man..........Hope you like that lead in the challenge... It wont last long Im coming

Austin -

Buckeye - you guys will be fine. Know why? You have the best QB in the big ten. You will be fine

Woddy - another dumbass... Yeah my 29 - 25 record to start the year is a little slow.. but not many can nor have the proved they can do this successfully as I have for many years... So take that and stick it your ass

Nost - GL this week BUD

Great job last week Boom!!! 

1.  The SEC has weak teams every year.  Nothing really shocking about that.  The only real shock in the SEC this season is how atrocious Arkansas is under the auspices of John L. Smith.  This team began the season in the top 10.  Some might be surprised by Auburn, but I'm not.  The top end of the conference has probably 5 of the best 10 teams in the country (although they all can't end up there because they play each other multiple times).  The top end of the conference is up by a lot, and the bottom end of the conference is probably about the same as it usual, perhaps a little weaker.

2.  I agree with you on TCU.  In fact I posted the very same thing after I lost with them against Kansas.  I liked them a lot again this week against Virginia, but just couldn't pull the trigger on them again.

3.  Haven't had a chance to watch the entire game, but it sure looked like Clemson's defense was gassed at the end of the game.  It's that thing I preach about all of the time . . . depth.

4. Yes, the Big 10 is horrid this year.  People better start recognizing there are some good teams in the MAC and Sun Belt.

5.  Been watching Rice closely, but haven't pulled the trigger on any of their games yet.

6.  Colorado is a team in complete disarray.  To lose outright at home is an embarrassment.  Washington State is not yet ready for prime time.

7.    Bill Snyder!!!  Chokelahoma 

8.  After losing to Auburn and LSU the last couple of years, Chip Kelly has put a lot more emphasis on the the trenches, and it shows.

9.  I think Notre Dame is definitely the class of the northeast.  Not sure if anything beyond that yet though.

10.  Hard to believe.

Auburn's offense was completely overwhelmed.  The only reason that game was competitive was due to a multitude of LSU mistakes.  The two fumbles Mettenberger lost in the first half turned what should have been at least a 14-3 halftime lead into a 10-9 deficit.  Auburn's offense had zero shot of driving the field and scoring a touchdown.  But for LSU repeatedly self-destructing, this game would have been over at halftime like it should have been.

Jimmy I hear what your saying.... But your arguments are filled with But's and if's. The point im trying to make is the real fact LSU struggled is they were on the ROAD. Playing on the road in college football brings those things out you just mentioned.

tcu wasn't that suspect.....virginia was calling timeouts instead of laying down....patterson was probably annoyed....and the route that scored was a 4 yd dig so obviously they were playing for the first down but virginia couldn't catch the guy

Sir,

If you count the juice what I posted is your exact record...period. Perhaps, you do not understand that if you wager 2.5 units and lose, then the juice is calculated into that loss. I would be happy to post all of your plays for the year graded with juice.

Couldn't it also be that LSU is not as good as most people think?
