Southern College Football - Week 9 Themes

Posted: Oct 30, 2010

LEAD STORY

So much of the national attention (ESPN) at this point in the college football season goes to just the handful of teams in the BCS chase. Auburn-- as well as star quarterback Cameron Newton-- will deservedly get that spotlight as an undefeated SEC team, and the Iron Bowl against hated Alabama looks like it could be college football’s game of the year. But despite the desire for SEC fans to win a fifth straight national title, there are other storylines around the league besides the BCS. It’s important to enjoy the best full season in all of sports and remember that there are many goals that can still be achieved by the teams in our Footprint.

We’ll start with the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. The annual Florida-Georgia game in Jacksonville is one of the South’s best traditions, and this year’s contest could be one of the most interesting in a while. The Gators have owned this series over the last two decades, but the Bulldogs enter this one as a slight favorite. Despite having more losses than their fans expected, both teams still have a shot at winning the SEC East. This game could serve as a springboard for a big finish, not to mention bragging rights for another year.

South Carolina is the team that both Florida and Georgia are chasing in the East. Gamecock fans were ecstatic after beating #1 Alabama, but they were crushed a week later when Steve Spurrier’s squad blew a nig lead at Kentucky. While fan bases tend to overreact, teams must rebound and take car of important business—like the school’s first ever trip to Atlanta to represent the SEC East. Carolina should handle an undermanned Tennessee team this week, but then they will be tested by Arkansas and Florida the following two weeks.

Another game with two teams who still have goals to reach is the Kentucky at Mississippi State tilt. The Wildcats are 4-4 in their first season under Joker Phillips. With an upset win in Starkville, UK could extend their school-record of consecutive bowl appearances to five. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs have won five in a row and are now 6-2 under Dan Mullen. With a strong finish, MSU could play in their first New Year’s Day Bowl since the 1998 season.

BIG 12

The Missouri Tigers continue to be the story of the Big 12, especially after last week’s home win against #1 Oklahoma. Gary Pinkel’s team is still good on offense with quarterback Blaine Gabbert, but it’s their improved defense that has the Tigers undefeated. Mizzou faces a tough test this week at Nebraska, and the winner will be the heavy favorite to take the Big 12 North. However if the Tigers prevail over the Cornhuskers, look for them to enter the league title game unbeaten.

Congrats to Coach Art Briles and the Baylor football team for becoming bowl eligible for the first time since 1994. Briles has a star in dual-threat quarterback Robert Griffin, and they have the fan base in Waco fired up. It’s hard to believe, but the last time the Bears played in the postseason was when they were a member of the Southwest Conference.

ACC

NC State fans were not sure what to expect entering the 2010 season. There was optimism with the return of quarterback Russell Wilson, but the Wolfpack had ended the season with a losing record in all three of Tom O’Brien’s seasons in Raleigh. That will not be case this year, especially after State’s huge comeback win over Florida State on Thursday night. The Wolfpack recovered a critical fumble by FSU quarterback Christian Ponder inside the 5-yard line with less than a minute to go, and they now look like the clear favorite to win the Atlantic division.

Enjoy another great weekend of pigskin around our Swampland Footprint!

THE GHOST HAS ATTAINED the southernmost point of the arc she is describing across the Pacific, and is already beginning to edge away to the west and north toward some lone island, it is rumored, where she will fill her water-casks before proceeding to the season's hunt along the coastugg boots clearance of Japan. The hunters have experimented and practiced with their rifles and shotguns till they are satisfied, and the boat-pullers and steerers have made their sprit-sails, bound the oars and rowlocks in leather and sennit so that they will make no noise when creeping on the seals, and put their boats in ugg boots clearanceapple-pie order, to use Leach's homely phrase.His arm, by the way, has healed nicely, though the scar will remain all his life. Thomas Mugridge lives in mortal fear of him, and is afraid to venture on deck after dark. There are two or three standing quarrels in the forecastle. Louis tells me that the gossip of the sailors finds its way aft, and that two of the telltales have been badly beaten by their mates. He shakes his head dubiously over the outlook for the man Johnson, who is boat-puller in the same boat with him. Johnson has been guilty of speaking his mind too freely, and has collided two orugg boots clearance three times with Wolf Larsen over the pronunciation of his name. Johansen he thrashed on the amidships deck the other night, since which time the mate has called him by his proper name. But of course it is out of the ugg boots clearancequestion that Johnson should thrash Wolf Larsen.
