Around the SB Nation: previewing Ole Miss vs. South Carolina

by Joel Hollingsworth on Sep 23, 2009 12:00 PM EDT in Rocky Top Talking Points

Ole Miss blog Red Cup Rebellion and South Carolina blog Garnet and Black Attack exchange Q&As in advance of Thursday night's matchup between the Rebels and the Gamecocks.
Penn State blog Black Shoe Diaries takes a look at the Big Ten and concludes that it "isn't that awesome."
Team Speed Kills takes a look at the unsolved mysteries of the SEC.
Welcome to two new SB Nation blogs: Sippin on Purple (Northwestern Wildcats) and BC Interruption (Boston College). Welcome, guys!
Florida fans sure are working hard to minimize Tennessee's "moral victory," which, by the way, is only being characterized as so by non-Tennessee fans as far as I can tell. Anyway, they're looking behind the score to the stats and ignoring the fact that if the stats are no better than they were in 2008, it likely has to do with different game plans. Game plans that yes, were calculated to keep things close to improve the odds of winning. And one more thing, I'll take interceptions over punts any day.
Sigh. It appears that Dawg Sports completely missed the fact that Lane Kiffin's flu comment was a dig at Urban Meyer's use of the flu as an excuse for Saturday's performance. Hey, maybe we should start calling that a moral loss for the Gators.

Definitely missed the point

Of CLK’s flu comment, but that’s fine. It’s Georgia.

We’ll beat them in a few weeks. (I’ve been gauranteeing that for months now) And then they’ll slide into obscurity as they just aren’t gonna be able to keep up with Tennessee and Florida’s recruiting.

Tennessee WILL beat Georgia on the way to 9+ wins in '09!!!

It's all right.

If Kyle reads this we’ll get a 4,000-word apology post, and those are always good reading.

I'm going to Athens this Saturday for the Georgia-Arizona State game

And if I run into him I intend to strike some sort of pact between our two schools, united under a common purpose: That making fun of Florida is always in season and in good taste. All right-thinking Americans ought to be able to agree on this.

I believe I could sign that treaty

As long as there is a 50 mile exclusivity clause around Chattanooga….

And what I mean by that

Is that I would like to reserve the right to verbally assassinate all of the North Georgia roundheads wearing red and black around here….

Include clauses that permit making fun of Georgia on non-Florida related comments

and I am in. Georgia still needs to have a few jabs thrown its way, especially during Georgia week. So, bilateral aggression between our respective schools is still permissible.

But we should agree on to support all assaults on Florida, regardless of the originating school. If they slam Florida, we provide wholehearted assistance – even if we are at war with each other. And, vice-versa.

I think the politicians call it a Mutual Assured Destruction Pact. MAD Pact.

"different game plans"

You mean how last year we were trying to win, and this year not?

Sorry, couldn’t resist.

that's classic

Fulmer tried to win and the result was much worse. We didn’t try to win and still had a shot with the ball, down 10 pts and 6 min left. I think I like “not trying to win” better.
