-VA Tech is one team I think is constantly overrated year after year. Wouldn't be surprised if they lose to BC and Miami
-SCar is also a team I think is overrated each year, but I think they actually have a CHANCE to win the east this year
-but NOBODY is more overrated each year than Notre Dame

Well, I am with you strong for Lsu to stomp Florida!
I have to tell ya , I want Mizzou to upset Georgia because we lost to Georgia!
I also hate Clemson, so I hope BC can do something , although I know its a long shot
Va. tech has likely the best defense in the country. They are not overrated, they are rated #25 currently in the country. VT will beat BC and Miami, and keep rollin.
Well, I am a South Carolina Alumni , so I must disagree we are overrated, we deserve to be #13 or #14 right now and we will go in and beat Arkansas for their homecoming this weekend as Mike Davis runs for over 100 yds again!
I am neutral to Notre Dame, but really like to see them win

My thoughts on big games this weekend:
-Oregon vs Wash looks good on paper just because of Wash's ranking, but we all know Oregon will roll over them
-Georgia beats Mizzou, duh
-LSU beats FL
-SCar should win vs Ark but definitely cannot underestimate their running game
-OU vs Texas in the red river rivalry.. lolol. Sorry Texas but you fucking suck this year. BARELY won vs Iowa St.
-Baylor will rape Kan St, because just like Mizzou, they have played nobody this year and will continue to rack on points
-Northwestern vs Wisc is hard to pick, so I am not picking it lol.
-And of course, the game I REALLY care about.. A&M vs Ole Miss. I think A&M has too much firepower and wins by 2 tds. I just hope to god they worked a shit load on their defense during their bye week!

However, I will be at ACL this weekend so I won't be able to watch much, if any, games. But I will definitely be keeping up with the scores on my phone.

What is ACL? You can't miss all these great games this weekend!
I agree A&M will roll over Ole Miss
S. Carolina will beat Arkansas and the S Carolina defense will finally wake up and shut Arkansas' run down
And, I laugh when you say Mizzou has not played anybody, maybe you are right, but I hope the light Georgia up, since we need Georgia to lose a game, so we can win the East

ACL = Austin City Limits music festival. Will be there Fri, Sat, Sun. But I hope to get out early enough to at least catch the 2nd half of the A&M game

Wow there were some good games this weekend.

imj, how much were you sweating when Manziel went down holding his knee? I thought he was done for the season.

^I don't know about imj, but I was cussing. That was not a very pretty game, all the way around. I was glad to see Manziel looking spry again, though. Wonder what they injected him with.

I was glad to see Evans show up for a play or two, finally, too. I was worried about his knee he came up lame 2 weeks ago.

I got to catch most of the 2nd half so I didn't see Manziel go down. Just so thankful we got the win (FUCK YOU BERTOLET THANK GOD YOU ARE GONE AND WE HAVE A KICKER THAT KNOWS HOW TO KICK! LOL).

The defensive coverage was in the 2nd half. Missed tackles reminded me of a couple years ago... ugh.

And when Manziel threw the pic in he end zone I cussed. Loudly.

But again, at least we got the win. But we've got a tough schedule ahead. If we win out we fully deserve to go to the title game

All in favor of changing the thread title to "2013 SEC Football Discussion Thread" say, "aye".

I like close games, but I didn't like that one. Didn't see Johnny go down due to the Penn St./Michigan OT (recording), but I thought we were done when he fumbled. I sat there on their last possession chanting, "3 and out. 3 and out. 3 and out... " Our defense nearly blew that game for us, and theirs was pretty damn good. I would say their defense played us better than 'Bama.

In any case, #7, and making our way up! Never would have thought we would be playing a #24 (5-1) Auburn team though.

Their defense played us way better than 'Bama's. I was very impressed by how well they stopped our offense.

I like close games when they're exciting and both offenses are producing (watching the Alabama game was a lot of fun, even though we lost), but this one just stressed me out. Ahh..I miss the Wrecking Crew of my college years! But then, back then we had no passing game to speak of. Just option, option, option. Rinse, repeat.

I will be at the Auburn Texas A&M game this weekend. We have to control the clock and keep Johnny off the field. He's going to embarrass our linebackers. I expect us to try and run a lot against A&M. Should be fun!

If you can get to Wings 'N' More (University Dr.) before 11:00 (when they open), you can get in without a wait.

Have fun. I hope it's a great experience regardless of losing and paying $300 for a hotel.

I've been in Houston all week for my client and my wife is flying in Friday. The Houston Auburn Alumni Association has 5 buses going from Houston to College Station the morning of the game and taking us back after with food/drink at a tailgate before the game. The only thing I had to pay for was the buses ($100/each) and the tickets to the game ($200/each). I'm using points for my wife's flight, the hotel and the car rental in Houston

Oh and the $600 will be worth it when Auburn wins!!

We can't change the name to SEC Football, because I also love the ACC. So, all you down in Texas, I enjoy hearing from you all because Texas A&M is in the SEC and will play my school next year each year (South Carolina).
Texas A&M will crush Auburn this weekend.
Florida state will beat Clemson.
South Carolina will beat Tennessee in Tennessee.
I am sorry Georgia has had so many injuries, however we still need you to lose one more SEC game so we can go to the SEC championship when we win out the rest of the year.

That's not what any food review online says.

I went there once. It was dirty and the food sucked. Maybe it's just because you are old and most good things can't last forever.

Besides, if they don't have a 32 oz margarita spiked with everclear, they can't be that good.

You did NOT just call 29 old.




I don't remember Potato Shack. I don't think it was there during my 8 years at A&M. Wings n More, however. Is Layne's still there?

My friend went to CS for work a few months ago and brought back a chicken fajita potato for me. It wasn't as good as I remember (granted it was sitting in a car for 4 hours and then the fridge for half a day), but it was still nostalgic.

Never went to Laynes when I was there so can't say anything about it. But we went to Chicken Express at least once a week my senior year. Glad I've shed all of those beer/whataburger/potato shack/chicken express/panda express pounds off lol.

Oh man, Layne's was so greasy, crispy, delicious. And I still suffer from random cravings of their "special sauce." I eat super clean these days, though, so I'm sure one chicken strip would make me .

I'd maim for some La Bodega fish tacos with that lime sauce, though. Or a strawberry tart from Cafe Eccel. College Station food is sooo good.

Miami is overrated! UNC was beating them the whole game, and deserved to win. Very disappointing loss for UNC. They played great. Miami will lose for sure, when they play a good team.

Yeah I don't think they'll go undefeated to be honest even though they did beat UF. FSU will be the telling game.

Some good games this weekend.

-Clemson vs FSU... I could care less who wins but should be a pretty good game, most importantly it just clears the path for other teams (A&M).
-It won't be pretty on the defensive side, but A&M beats Auburn by double digits.
-I hope Ole Miss pulls an upset
-Wouldn't be surprised if UCLA beats Stanford
-Wouldn't be surprised if Baylor scores 70 for the 4th time this season
-Without their starting QB, and granted FL offense sucks, FL's defense SHOULD be too much for Mizzou. SHOULD be. ....watch the score be 70-0 Mizzou

I disagree with you last game, FL is overrated, they are not that good, watch as Mizzou beats them at home. Florida just is not to good, they didn't even score a touchdown last week.
