Listen, guys, I'll be out of circulation for a few days. My oldest son & I are flying back east to visit with family. The primary mission is to see my father. He's in the hospital; reports from my family are bleak; it could be the last time my son sees his grandfather, and the last time I see my dad. While I don't know that for certain, it's easier to expect the worst and hope for the best. For all I know, they are one and the same. I guess we'll see soon enough. Till next we meet, blog, or what ever this is called, may the light reach to your darkest of places. Aloha...

If you don't mind, I'm gonna ask her to use that in a particular scene in a recent short story she put together. I think it fits perfect.
By the way, you did have me going for a sec, with a chuckle I might add. I figured you for taking a fun jab, before I read the attacking part. Then I thought about it, bopped over to the other article, and realized it wasn't about me at all. Then, I read below and you confirmed it. We're on the same page, literally & figuratively, cool.

Why Mr. Nester told me to get a clue...I don't know BUT Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are in the same state and same conference so I got the clues. Mr. Nester hasn't!

h is a way of showing contempt for trolls among your fellow fanblog clique-mates. It is simply written h with no punctuation or other letters used... Trolls don't get the inside joke and leave.

In the months that followed, it just evolved into an inside joke that the regulars could use when we needed a good laugh--at the expense of a new guy or a troll.

I think it's great that people yawn (gator guy) at the mere mention of schools like Fresno State. Here is the reason why...if we beat a BCS school, all of a sudden it's luck or the other team had an "off" day..the planets were aligned in our favor, etc etc. But if we loose, then that is the way it was suppose to be anyway. We shall play Rutgers in about 32 days or so. Who'll win? The better team. Florida has someone sceduled for Homecoming already....Kentucky......3-5 in the SEC last year....I'm not impressed.

This is an open thread, but your tone appears to be on the attack, against nothing.
I think most have the Fresno Rutgers as a toss up, or Fresno being a slight underdog. There is a thread around here for those who wish to discuss the perceived difficulties of WAC out of conference schedules.
Personally I like Utah's odds of beating Michigan more than Fresno's odds of beating Rutgers. Maybe a parlay is in order here.

Brian from Munford, Tenn., writes: The numbers do not lie. Most SEC teams do have poor non-conference scheduling. After all since the BCS started the SEC has 4 national championships and why not include Auburn in 2004 since USC was awarded a piece in 2003(50% i would say a highly significant winning %)?The problem is EVERY week in the SEC anyone can win. There is no other conference that even compares. So with that said why would any team in this conference schedule big non conference games? They do not need to!
Ted Miller: "The problem is EVERY week in the SEC anyone can win." Well, that's true of any conference. Just like on any given week Alabama could lose to Louisiana-Monroe or Mississippi could lose to Wyoming or Mississippi State could lose to Tulane or Auburn could lose to South Florida (did Oregon play South Florida last year?) or Kentucky could lose to Indiana or Arkansas can win the SEC West but lose to USC by 36 points or Tennessee could win the SEC East after losing to California by 14 points.
SEC folks love to talk about the depth of their conference, and there is depth -- at the top. But out here in reality world, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Kentucky, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State and, yes, Alabama look just like about 50 other BCS teams lumbering around the bloated middle of college football. That group reminds me of the bottom half of the Pac-10, which is where each would finish if it came out West. Wait. Have Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi State done that over the past decade?
Moreover, sometimes the "depth" of the SEC is smoke-and-mirrors. Take Georgia in 2007. I've got nothing but love for the Dawgs, but folks outside of Athens/Atlanta/Macon/Savannah see a team that lost to a bad South Carolina squad and got bludgeoned by Tennessee. (Did Tennessee play a Pac-10 team in 2007? I can't remember.) The Bulldogs, who gave up 34 points to Troy and beat Vandy by three, were outraged they didn't get to play for the national championship, but, really, their entire resume came down to two games: wins over Florida and Auburn. Florida lost to Appalachian State by the transitive property of college football. And that South Florida team that won at Auburn went down 56-21 to Oregon in the Sun Bowl.
The SEC needs tough non-conference games to prove itself to the rest of the nation, a group that is not required to succumb to the "just trust me ... can't you see I'm yelling!" school of debate popular in the SEC.
That's why Georgia scheduled Arizona State. That's why Tennessee has long played a gutty non-conference schedule. And, heck, LSU wouldn't have won the national title last year if it hadn't beaten the pooh out of Virginia Tech.
My only disagreement is that other conferences are more competitively internally than the SEC.
The internal competition of the MAC and MWC are significantly closer than the gulf between LSU and Vanderbilt.
The SEC is the top conference. Conference schedules give them the equivalent of one extra top 25 OCG game per year over a typical PAC 10, Big 10 and Big 12 teams. The scheduling reflects this as the top teams approach a similar level of schedule difficulty.
Also, not sure I buy into the transitive property of football. By that property all teams were equal last year, except a few winless teams.

Jarvis Jones is an extremely talented kid...One that I believe we were looking to move into a starting role for us next year...He would've seen time at backup on the interior and exterior along the right side of our line this year...

He tested positive again just before fall camp, and was aced outta here...
All the talent in the world isn't going to cover up the fact that you can't stay away from the ganja...It's sad, and it does leave a hole in our interior on the depth chart, but we've got the best line in America, and we've got a beast of a class that's redshirting this year.
