I have a 30 page article to read and a 6-8 page paper to write based on it. Due tomorrow (who has papers due on Sundays anyways?). So I shouldn’t be in this thread this afternoon. But I’m still so friggin’ excited! That’s the best game we’ve played since the UGA game two years ago.

I'm with you.
My project has been frustratingly slow and it’s starting to become a concern. But here we are. :-)

Also
Bama and Ole Miss are both looking fairly mediocre. It would take a miracle coming off the bye to take down the Tide, but Ole Miss can be had this year.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 4:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Ole Miss
has 11 yards of offense and 2 turnovers after 25 minutes.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 4:50 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Man.
Ole Miss is averaging 3 plays per drive (one drive with 1 play, one with 4, and the rest with 3).
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 4:53 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well
I think Ole Miss is done for. 16-0. They’re up to 13 yards of offense though with a minute to play in the first half. We can beat those guys.
In other news, it looks like Baylor may be trying to give Chokelahoma a game.

I was thinking the next TD at 9-0 would decide who won the game.
Insanity could still strike, but it’s going to need some work.

I really like our odds against Ole Miss.
If UT plays as well against Bama as they did today, they’ll have a chance. It’s still uphill, but at least it’s a shot.

Well, yes, but not as much as we will.
We’re going bowling this year, I believe, but it might have served well for a tiebreaker into a better one.

I think we have a semi-decent shot at 7-5 now.
We may be able to get both Ole Miss and South Carolina, but I’ll be happy with one. Baby steps.

@Hooper
I absolutely agree. I kinda expected that when we lost it, actually.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 5:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Btw, I'm glad a computer does the SEC power poll
It looks like Kentucky and South Carolina are similar. So they should arguably be ranked near each other. And that should presumably be near to or below Georgia but above Ole Miss and Arkansas. But Arkansas should be way above Auburn, who should be a bit above Tennessee, who should be way above Georgia. . .

yeah, I’m looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

Ohio State

Furthering the thoughts:
We must beat South Carolina now. Win against them, and second in the East is well within reach.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 5:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Amazingly, yes.
I didn’t even think about that, but going 4-1 in-division would be outstanding. But the SEC West draw was rough; there’s a very real chance we end up 4-4 even with that.

Yeah.
SoCar is 2-1 in conference but still has dates with Florida and Alabama upcoming. Assuming those as losses, they’d be 2-3 without UT. If we win, there’s 4 SoCar losses and we’d hold tiebreakers over them and Georgia.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 5:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
On the other hand, if everyone in the SEC East finishes at 4-4 or worse, that may hurt UF's title chances if they lose.
…..
4-4 here we come!

Yeah
If we can sweep the division (USC, UK, Vandy), even with losses to both Ole Miss and Bammer (which hopefully will not happen), we can finish second with this very likely scenario:
1. USC loses to UF and Bama
2. UGA loses to UF and either Auburn or Kentucky.
If UGA sweeps Vandy, Auburn, and Kentucky, we need to beat USC, UK, Vandy, and Ole Miss to hit #2.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 5:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't see a realistic scenario where we get #2 at 4-4, unfortunately.
I think we need both those wins to get #2.

I we only lose to Bama here on out,
We will probably end up 4th overall in the conference (maybe 5th). What bowl would that be?

Ironically, I think that'd be the old Citrus Bowl.

by Graysnail on Oct 10, 2009 5:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
No
UF and Bama would get BCS bowls. LSU would take the Citrus. That’d put us back in the old familiar Outback Bowl, with Aubie (likely) in the Cotton.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 5:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sounds right.
Cotton would probably prefer Auburn over Tennessee anyhow, so everybody wins, right?
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 5:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was forgetting which one was where.
For some reason, I thought Citrus turned into Outback, but Citrus turned into Cap-One. Which one was Outback, and when did Cotton turn into #5?

by Graysnail on Oct 10, 2009 5:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Cotton and Outback are 4/5
But Cotton takes a West team and Outback takes an East. Unless there are just no available teams from the appropriate division (see: 2000 and 2004 for UT).
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
This is, of course
Assuming LSU finishes ahead of Auburn and Ole Miss. It’s quite possible that Auburn could take that #3 spot, today notwithstanding.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 5:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
The West being stronger feels more like they just haven’t imploded quite as early as the East. I’m still very leery about LSU.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm going to go ahead and say
There is probably a scenario that puts us finishing #3, with as crazy as the mid-SEC is.
We only lose to Bama. 4 losses (3 conf)
Georgia loses to Florida and GT. 4 losses (3 conf)
LSU loses to Bama, Florida, Ole Miss, Auburn. 4 losses
Auburn loses to Ole Miss, Bama, Georgia. 4 losses
Ole Miss loses to us, Bama, and either Arkansas or MSU. 4 losses
USC loses to us, Florida, Bama. 4 losses
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 6:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
And that's not counting on anything
from UK or MSU, both of whom could spring an upset here or there.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 6:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's probably a good call.
I wouldn’t count on them in any realistic scenario.

by Graysnail on Oct 10, 2009 6:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
I don’t think we can reasonably expect #3 without beating Alabama, though. That’s quite a trip.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 6:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Of course we can't expect it
But look at those results. Are any of them implausible? If we finish 5-1 (big task, but possible), we put ourselves looking good for #4 and in the legitimate mix for #3.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 6:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh, they're plausible.
And I’d be happy with them.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 6:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't think either Ole Miss or LSU's scenario is terribly plausible
On the other hand, they’re not particularly implausible.

I'll say this much:
After the Auburn game, I didn’t expect to see myself pondering the ways that UT could end up #3 in conference. ;-)
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
If MSU or Arkansas can do some extra favors. . .
For instance, if Arkansas beats LSU, then LSU can beat Ole Miss, and Ole Miss only needs losses to us and Bama.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 6:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Also
Keep in mind that this is a formula that puts everyone BEHIND us in the conference. If we finish 6-1, it’s quite possible that we’d get picked over another team with 3 SEC losses just in virtue of the recent good play and the media attention Kiffin will draw.
by Incipient_Senescence on Oct 10, 2009 6:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah.
On the other hand, patience.

Of course
I know we’re being crazy. Right now, I feel confident about us getting bowl eligible. 8-4 is a dream, but it’s a dream that’s suddenly within reach. 7-5 is most likely, imo.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
Kelly could keep his contacts in the Midwest. Zook won’t leave the cupboard bare (he just fails at the, y’know, coaching part), which means Kelly could give them one heck of a quick turnaround.

I really hope that nothing terrible happens to him this game.
Now that we’re not going to see him again, the kid legitimately deserves the future he’s going to have as a tight end at the next level. Putting him out here with a concussion is just bizarre; I’ve seen way too many issues with recovery to really feel safe about it.

Oh, me too.
I don’t mind cheering against a guy in the my team / your team sense, but this has absolutely nothing to do with team loyalties.
But yeah, I feel really bad about this one: neither outcome is good; if he plays and aggravates the concussion, it could be a permanent problem; if he plays and is fine, it only encourages other coaches to push their players back out faster after concussions.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Agreed.
On the other hand, it’s not like there are a shortage of instances of coaches running a concussed player out there.

People will call it a good call. If he gets hurt, people’s heads will deservedly roll.
Obviously, the only people who know if it’s a bad call or not are the doctors who cleared him to play.

In case anyone is interested in the other football
The United States kick off their 9th game in this 10 game qualifying season in two minutes in San Pedro Sula against Honduras. We’re playing without two starters (FW Jozy Altidore and MF Clint Dempsey) who have minor injuries (at least, Jozy’s is minor. He’ll be available off the bench). If the USA wins, we secure a trip to next summer’s World Cup. It’s not on TV, but I posted a stream link a little while ago. And since people would probably rather watch UF/LSU, I may just come in here and update whenever somebody scores.

…but we might want to turn our attention to Montario Hardesty for Doak Walker

but I had to write him in.
Definitely Hardesty for Doak Walker!

Good.
I always thought karma would rear its ugly head with all of the attention. The middle of our defense didn’t help his chances either. With the hoopla calming down, watch Berry go off now.

I don't care about the Heisman for him.
But I do want the INT return yardage record. Against Bama would be nice.

I want the record for him too.
Heisman would be nice, however unlikely it is.

Here's some interesting statsiness:
We played Florida in Gainesville. LSU got them at home:
Florida’s yards on offense: 323 against us, 323 against LSU (and counting)
LSU on offense: 162 yards
UT on offense: 210 yards

All I see:
is that UT’s performance was no worse than LSU’s. And LSU isn’t supposed to be as bad as UT this year.
by Hooper on Oct 10, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The method they got 323 differs, though.
I could write more about it later, but the upshot is Florida didn’t do anything near what they did against Tennessee tonight – the one constant was the lack of presence of outside receivers, which will burn them at some point.

Oh, it's terribly done.
Shooting Tennessee for beating Georgia thoroughly (45-3 if you don’t factor in special teams and turnover fails, which you can’t do but I’m making a point here) and calling them a terrible team seems like a recipe for disaster.
Heck, if he said mediocre instead of terrible I wouldn’t have any issue with it. But terrible? That’s just denying what’s in front of your face.

This blog
Makes me proud to be a subscriber to RTT. I don’t think any of the contributors here ever have or would make a classless post like that about a team that just whipped our tails.
I also like it that our fans wouldn’t be so sour over a loss that we ban somebody for disagreeing with us. Its nice in the middle of a rebuilding season to see things like this that remind me why I’m proud to be a Vol.
That blog talking about a lack of class is almost as ironic as if they were talking about Defense. Clearly they have neither. :-P
