Enjoying all the articles and podcasts. Tried to login on the office pool picks numerous times. I know my email, password and the the letter repeat dealy were all correct. Frustrated !

Someone in the SEC office needs to get on this nonsense of having no meaningful games until 3:00 PM on opening Saturday.

Really enjoy seeing Maryland handle Texas so far. I mean they did lose to Kansas last year so it couldn’t be too surprising. Also Mizzou is in a shootout with Mizzou State. Defense is nonexistent and will probably kill the Tigers against SC next week.

Texas last year gave up 40+ in four of their first five games. New coach can’t change that much that fast.

Tee Higgins is in the wrong color of orange…. Makes me sad to see a fellow ORHS grad in Clemson colors.

Not sure we can say a whole lot here since like 27 guys caught a pass for Clemson, but Higgins and Rodgers combined for 5 catches for 37 yards today.

I didn’t even put Texas-Maryland in the picks this week with a -19 line.

If it wasn’t for the defense, they wouldn’t have a chance.

Yo… with the differing user and sign up names on this site I’m not certain what handle this is going to show here but for the record I was Caban on RTT.

So… the only SEC team to look legitimately very dangerous so far is Georgia. South Carolina had a near miraculous outcome… reminding me A LOT of our 2005 team where any success is almost entirely smoke and mirrors which eventually runs out. Kentucky has exceeded expectations today by handling Southern Miss somewhat comfortably. And what the heck is up with Florida? How do you bounce back from a loss that can be hung entirely around the necks of the guys who are supposed to be leaders? If McElwain manages to get his team on the same page he’ll be earning… Read more »

I know I shouldn’t, but I feel better about the Florida game after watching their offense today. I’m sure that they will get their suspended players back just in time for the Third Saturday in September, but I really liked what I saw today anyway.

I’m not sure Callaway & Scarlett can cure what’s ailing their offense. It’s the same way they looked against Vanderbilt, FSU, in the second half against us, etc.

What in the world is going on in Los Angeles? USC just took a touchdown lead over Western Michigan with ~7 left.

I think Sumlin just sealed his fate. I mean how is that possible? The second largest comeback in NCAA history..

I was thinking the same thing as I was watching that unfold. It looked to me like A&M was just out of shape. They couldn’t cover anyone that last quarter. But credit to Rosen. He was making some hellatiius throws. He was putting the ball right where it had to be and the WR’s were catching everything. But yeah, im nit sure Sumlin will survive the season. I feel bad for him because I think he’s a good coach and a better guy..
