JLM Week 10 Scores

Sorry it took me until Thursday to get this out. I've been busy and I knew I got smoked so I really didn't have a whole lot of desire to add up the points. I'm sick of losing at JLM and I'm turning it around this week.

Team LoserwithacapitalL

QB: Stafford 21
RB: Fannin 5
RB: Foster 22
WR: R. Smith 2
WR: Doucet 18
WR: Bennett 3
K: Coutu vs. Troy 15
D: UT vs ULL 9
Total - 95 (that's actually respectable but you both beat that with three picks!)

Team Whisky (holy crap...I didn't realize you had Moreno too!!)

QB T Tebow 45
RB B Tate 12
RB K Moreno 37
WR K McKinley 7
WR P Harvin 34
WR M Wallace 1
K A Tejada 6
DEF Auburn 9
Total - 151 (going Bacardi on that ass)

Team Okrachoke (whoa, you have practically the same team...this one is gonna be close between you two)

Q Tebow 45
R Fannin 5
R Moreno 37
W Taylor 5
W Doucet 18
W Harvin 34
K Tiffin 10
D UT 9
Total - 163 OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!! James scored 151 and got beat by double digits?!?!?!

Doucet's 18 and the kickers are the difference this week as Larry stages a thrilling victory from the middle of the Atlanta freakin' Ocean!!! Staggering, just completely staggering. How could we possibly follow up this JLM Week?? Hopefully with a close win by me and a whipping of the pups between the hedges.

Thoughts on AU

I posted this in my reply to James' query on the Tenn. Tech game but I didn't know if anyone would read that.

I've been staying away from the message boards because I'm sick of reading the posts bashing Tubs for having his agent start this crap about aTm and how he's just doing it to get a raise and how AU would go on just fine without him and all that crap. AU fans (at least the ones that post on AUtigers.com) are such a negative bunch. Just listened to CTT on the radio here in Atlanta (he was on one of the sports talk stations this morning and the other one around 12:30...getting the AU word out in the ATL) talking about this week's game and about the aTm junk. I don't think he's going anywhere unless they offer him stupid Saban-like money. It's gonna cost aTm $6M just to get CTT out of his contract. Then they have to pony up at least $3M a year. He's in line for a raise from AU to at least $2.5M/yr after the season. Is it really worth it to leave for half a mil more per year?? I don't think so. Hopefully I'm right. I want him to stay at AU as long as he wants to.

I'll just never understand

I'm always amazed that when all things are basically equal and one team has beaten the other team, how the latter can be ranked above the former.

Did anyone get to listen to the game? Was Kodi that bad?

JLM Week 10

Team ComeBackStrongWith50BellyDancers

QB: Stafford vs. Troy
RB: Fannin vs. Tenn. Tech
RB: Foster vs. ULL
WR: R. Smith vs. Tenn. Tech
WR: Doucet vs. bammer
WR: Bennett vs. fu
K: Coutu vs. Troy
D: UT vs ULL

Tigers will post an easy win with a somewhat unimpressive score. I'm thinking something like 38-7. Kodi will get to open up the offense a little in the 3rd quarter but we'll shut it down in the 4th and get healthy for ugay. Bama keeps it close in Turdtown, but the Whos pull it out in the 4th quarter and end our hopes for a visit to Atlanta in December for the 3rd straight year. Oh well.

If only Auburn had seen this before the LSU game

Millsaps college is basically across the street from Belhaven. I once watched Widespread Panic on their campus. This is unbelievable.

A Day Off

Well, we had yesterday and today off, sort of a Fall Break. It's really Teacher's Convention in Milwaukee, but since we are not required to go, I find the time better spent at home resting and prepping for the next month or so.

Larry, I was looking up Ocracoke Island and it looks awesome. Have you been there before? I look forward to hearing about it.

It appears that Tubberville is getting killed for the chop block on Dorsey. This from Jason Whitlock on foxsports.com

2. Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville is an absolute coward and fraud for not suspending the freshman lineman who chop-blocked LSU's Glenn Dorsey in the back of the knees.

I've watched the highlight over and over and what transpired is completely unjustifiable. Tuberville claims all the linemen were supposed to cut block. You don't cut block a defensive linemen moving toward you on the back of his knees.

Not only was the block illegal, but it was as immoral as LSU coach Les Miles claimed. Plus, it's damaging to college football. Dorsey returned to LSU for his senior season. He could've turned pro after last season. Now every NFL agent is going to show every third-year defensive lineman the tape of the block that could've cost Dorsey millions of dollars.

The NCAA needs to step in here and suspend the freshman guard. No one is saying the kid is a bad kid. But the sport needs to send a strong message that those type plays will not be tolerated, even accidentally.


Also and interesting take here, complete with video.

Finally, my mom sent me this and I thought it was hysterical.

'Dear Lord: Thank you for bringing me to Timmy's house and not to Michael Vick's -- AMEN!

Team Idon'tthinkI'veeverywontwoweeksinarow

QB T Tebow
RB A Dixon
RB F Jones
WR R Smith
WR E Bennett
WR Steve Johnson
K W Byrum
DEF Arky

While I realize that Auburn/Ole Miss isn't a great national game, but there are so many games on gameplan I don't understand why they wouldn't pick up all sec match ups. We have a fall break today and tomorrow, which I am already enjoying.

JLM Week 8

Team Theearlybirdgetsthevictory

QB T Tebow
RB D McFadden
RB A Foster
WR K McKinley
WR P Harvin
WR R Smith
K A Tejada
DEF USC

Well, I'm off to 6th grade camp for two nights in the wilderness with fifty something 10 - 11 year olds. Actually, we stay in cabins, and the place is pretty nice. It's hardly roughing it. Then I'm going on a retreat with our church, so 2 more nights in a state park. That means I won't get to watch the LSU game live. I'll gladly take text updates because I probably won't have time to watch it in its entirety on Sunday.

I'm not sure what to think. Did Auburn intentionally revert back to the Auburn from the first three games?? Was the play calling that conservative, or was Arkansas really that good on D. Will LSU be ticked off, or will they still be reeling from getting smoked by some Wildcats. Will I ever think of Kentucky and not be reminded of the night we karaoked at the Best Western with some Wildcat faithful.

JLM Week 7

Team Sigmugi
Q: Stafford - 16
R: Lester, AU - 8
R: Dixon, MSU - 16
W: McKinley - 12
W: DJ Jazzy Hall - 14

Pretty sure Larry took over the overall points lead after this week's thrashing. I see on the dashboard that James is already plotting his futile attempt at Week 8 glory. Give it all you got Team Band Camp.

JLM - Week 6 Scores

Well, it's a good thing I don't make a living off picking college football games. I said Auburn would have trouble early with Vandy (how about 28-0 in the first half). I thought Georgia would go into Knoxville and win (again, 28-0 in the first half). I figured Kentucky would be able to put up big offensive numbers on USC (uh, no). And I was convinced Florida had what it would take to win in Death Valley (okay, so I was pretty close on that...if not for Les the Hat's big balls on 4th down). At least I can take solace in the fact that I am running away with JLM 2007!!!!!

That's right, in the lowest scoring week of JLM this season I have prevailed once again and I have to give all the credit in the world to my a-hole of a quarterback, Tim Tebow. Seriously, has there ever been a bigger punk that played QB in the SEC? This guy is a first rate douche rocket of the highest order. I hate his little arm flapping to the crowd after he scores. I hate his military haircut and flail-armed lefty passing style. But the big guy does put up some impressive JLM numbers. His 31 points were high score this week and they led me to an 83-73-67 victory.

Matt: 83
Tebow 31
D-Mac 18
Grant 1 (that's what I get for picking an bammer)
Rod Smith 8
Wallace 7
Burton 7
Byrum 5
Arky 6

James: 73
Ainge 8 (QB killed JDinz this week...just killed him)
Felix 26
BenJarvus GreenPurpleElvisImpersonator 5
Rod Smith 8
Lafell 7
Wallace 7
Ijjjjjjjas 6
Arky 6

Larry: 67
Woodson 21
D-Mac 18
Grant 1
Mckinley 6
Hall 1
Harvin 6 (13 from the WRs...positively Dinsmoresque)
Byrum 5
Auburn 9

JLM Week 6

Team TakeitOfftheRackIfItsWackPutitBack (song anyone?)

QB: Tim Tebow
RB: Darren McFadden
RB: Terry Grant
WR: Rod Smith
WR: Mike Wallace
WR: Keenan Burton
K: Wes "I could probably nail any chick in the 36830 zip code this week" Byrum
D: Arky

Predictions: Auburn comes out SLOW and Brandon tosses a bad first quarter pick. After letting Vandy get the early lead the Tigers begin to play like they are on the road (they will actually be wearing the road whites and some old school throwback helmets without the AU logo to commemorate the 1957 national championship team) and go up by 10 at the half. Second half is more of the same and we end up with an easier than expected 31-13 win. Brad gets his first TD of the season but splitting the carries three ways between Lester, Fannin, and Tate keeps all the backs from putting up ridiculous numbers. Kentucky's magical season keeps trucking along tomorrow night as Andre Woodson becomes the first QB to torch USC's defense. KY rubs the jelly in and smacks the Cocks 27-16. Georgia continues to improve on offense (they're starting three freshmen on the O line...sound familiar??) and puts another nail in Fulmer's coffin with a big win in Knoxville, 33-23. The big game on the bayou: Florida has just spent an entire week hearing how overrated they were and how their offense is a one trick pony...all you have to do is shut down Tebow and the gators become little lizards. Well, I ain't buying it. I realize that if there is a defense in the league that is as fast and sound as ours it is LSU, but I just think the UF offense is going to say FU to Glenn Dorsey and company. I thought Florida would win this game before the Beatdown in the Swamp and I'm sticking with my gut here. Florida drops LSU from the ranks of the unbeatens with a 30-24 win.

The rural ghetto

Apparently this song is where it's at these days. It even has a dance that goes with it. They played in twice at the dance, the second time a senior got on stage and "performed" for everyone. It was entertaining. If you want to be the life of your next party, search for the instructional video on youtube. Oh, don't worry, they played some ooo eee, ooo eee, but it didn't have the same effect as 3 years ago in Myrtle.

More Teblow

WAR DAMN EAGLE

It is 2:30 AM and I just watched Auburn make Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow look like a bunch a punks. I had to chaperone the Homecoming Dance so I didn't even start watching the game until about 1 AM. Holy Cow, I think I deserve to win JLM this week for having faith in B. Cox after I've bashed him all year. Good gosh I'm not going to be able to sleep for awhile. I guess I'll finish off the SoCo.

JLM Week 4 -- SHOOTOUT!!

In what was probably the highest scoring "close" JLM week ever (well, two of the competitors were close...excluding a certain math teacher who fell in love with a true freshman quarterback and two Bayou Bengals) the tie at the top was broken, and the new leader is........... Roswell's own me.

After refusing to ride the Tebow bandwagon for three weeks I finally gave in and picked the "Baby Rhino" against Ole piss. As I watched the game unfold I felt hoodwinked. Tebow is slow. He doesn't make people miss. Even though they run that dang QB draw 215 times per quarter I didn't think he was accumulating any stats. And his passes! Man is his throwing motion awkward. This guy has no chance of making it to the NFL. But something funny happened during the fourth quarter. They showed his stat line. He had 140+ rushing yards and over 200 passing, not to mention 2 rushing touchdowns and two passing. I started doing the math in my head. Holy crap, he was on course to put up over 50 JLM points! And I didn't even see it coming even though I was watching almost the entire game. Shows how much I know, right. Anyway I was going to pick Felix Jones instead of McFadden because D-Mac had a concussion against Bama and I thought he might not play. Good call by me. McFadden got 24 JLM points along with Dixon to give me 101 from my starting backfield. Harvin and Burton went for 18 each and Hall, Byrum, and Auburn combined to get me 17 (go figure, worst score was a bammer) for a 154 total. Could Larry catch up without Tebow?

Well, he started off well, picking up Erick Ainge off the scrap heap. Ainge torched the Arky St. Indians for 38 JLM points. Larry also got 24 from MSU's Dixon. Next up was Mario Fannin. After giving way to Ben Tate for most of the game Mario got in late and galloped 67 yards for his 3rd touchdown of the game with under 30 seconds left to collect a whopping 28 JLM points (probably the only time all year an AU player will account for 20+ JLM points). Burton and Lucas Taylor teamed up for another 40 and Larry was making up ground fast. Too bad he had the same idea with DJ Hall and Wes Byrum as me. With Tennessee's win he ended up with a total of 147 to come up 7 points short.

James was led by Taylors' 22 and Harvin's 18. He had a bold pick with Kodi Burns at QB (love the optimism) and got burned when Kodi gave way to Cox in the 2nd quarter. James ended up with 77 to limp home in 3rd this week.

So after four weeks, I lead with 2 wins, but I think Larry has the most overall points. It's starting to get interesting. Now we'll get to see if any of us have any sack and pick some Auburn players going into the Swamp. Gulp.
