Around SBN: UFC 146 Predictions

I still like it when Eric Berry takes it to the crib

  •  Eric Berry popped his cherry.  After several almost-pick-six's, Mr. Berry finally got himself the real deal holyfield.  Sorry to those who are die-hard Titans fans.  My NFL fandom is more of a fluid concept.  In other words, I root for who I want to when I want to.  And so today I root for Eric Berry.  Check it:

 

  • Janzen Jackson is baaaaaaack.  Selfishly, I like hearing this news because Janzen Jackson is very very good at football and happens to play for the team I root for. But I do sincerely hope that all is well with Mr. Jackson's personal/family situation.
  • Tennessee's football players make it to Nashville despite weather impedimentsDavid Oku is also back and trying to play catch-up with the schemes, and the players who saw Eric Gordon saw red.
  • Bruce Pearl is still tinkering with the players' roles in the rotation recipe.  My suggestion would be to go with two tablespoons apiece of Scotty Hopson and Tobias Harris; at least a tablespoon and a half apiece of Cameron Tatum, Melvin Goins, and Brian Williams; and, among other things, a dash of cloves. You're gonna want that dash of cloves.
  •  With the bowl games involving SEC about to kick off, the age-old question again bubbles up to the surface.  Do you root against your SEC rivals, or do you treat it as a brother situation where you want to kick their butt, but you got their back if anybody else messes with them? Tell me what you think in the fancy little poll that follows.

Same

For some reason this year I’d just rather see a blunt, somewhat rude Chip Kelly victory interview than Cam Newton blowing kisses.

Bring it across, shape it down

I root for the SEC

That way I do not have to cheer for the teams I despise…

No War Chickens , Gaytors , Cheatin Tide

Respect them …..Alabama yes – the rest , not only no but HELL NO . Too much venom built up over the years …Would not mind seeing another SEC Natl Champ , but pulling for them ?? No way Jose

I hate Kerry Collins more everyday

My Berry hate was just Sunday.

Official MCM Hater!

What do you think changes next year?

With Adams’ inexplicable man crush on VY, I feel like Jeff is in serious danger. I can’t decide if I’m for or against that move.

Both need to be gone

Fisher should have been gone last year.

While I certainly don't love VY

What would we do at QB without him? Kerry is old and inconsistent and I doubt we’d want to mortgage the farm to trade up and get Mallett or someone like that. I’m afraid the Titans are in a very precarious situation that could affect them for years to come.

No rooting for Florida

I’ll root for all the SEC teams except Florida. I got great pleasure in their beat down at the hands of Michigan a couple of years ago. All losses are great losses for those smug and spoiled fans.

No Auburn rooting either this year

Sorry Auburn and the SEC, but I’ll be rooting for Oregon. My problem with Auburn is that after the tainted Newton leaves they’ll be back to mediocre.

by phil g on Dec 27, 2010 10:53 AM EST reply actions  

I pull for all of them

including Auburn. Five in a row for the SEC is worth it.

by Will Shelton on Dec 27, 2010 11:02 AM EST reply actions  

I'd root for the Taliban before I'd cheer for Alabama.

Vinnie Testaverde is always remembered for Tennessee kicking his ass.

by RevOrange on Dec 27, 2010 11:35 AM EST reply actions  

I root for all of them...

…now that Urban is out. I had trouble rooting for that guy.

...just apologize for not thanking me.

by kidbourbon on Dec 27, 2010 12:31 PM EST reply actions  

NEVER Florida.

For any reason whatsoever. Just a very bitter taste leftover from the Spurrier days. Not pulling for Auburn either; I think Oregon is more balanced. Otherwise, I’ll take the SEC.

Eric Berry's TD yesterday was one of many plays that ruined my day.

I love the kid, but that hurt me.

I pull for SEC teams, generally, but I can never bring myself to actively root for Bama or Florida. I just love seeing them lose too much.

"Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point? If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25; he dishes it back to Wycheck; he throws it across the field to Dyson. 30, 40, 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, 5, endzone...touchdown, Titans! There are no flags on the field! It's a miracle! Tennessee has pulled a miracle! A miracle for the Titans!"

by TennesseeTyrants on Dec 27, 2010 3:00 PM EST reply actions  

I never, ever, under any circumstance

root for Florida. Actually, I actively root against them at all times and in all sports. On another note, I actually enjoyed Eric Berry’s pick-six yesterday due to my disgust with the Titans (Kerry Collins) right now.

Florida Sucks!
