Maybe in San Fran, or Lost Angels...can't remember right now.

I'd never have figured. Looks like I was wrong.<br /><br />The East Alabama Cow College has an open date this week against LAMO. Next week's cat fight in Lexington might be fun.

Leonard's Loser: Kentucky.<br /><br />Gosh, I miss ol' Leonard.<br /><br />All the fun in the SEC this year is in the West.<br /><br />Except for Vandy.

I should've realize the whole thing was a yank.<br /><br />About the football, this is the SEC. And, right now, the West is the class of the conference. The East is only 40% better than every other conference. The West is 80% better.<br /><br />And, in the West, anything can happen. Although, like you, I do expect that Herd of Elephants to run away with it. But, either of the Big Cats in the West could take it.<br /><br />This week's game in the Alachua County Swamp will tell if the team from Baton Rouge are Big Cats or Pussycats. The Giant Water Lizards should prevail, but it'll be a tough one. Leonard's Loser: LSU.<br /><br />Sorry, got carried away there.Basilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304218067534993876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-84129213007514562792010-09-28T20:51:22.001-04:002010-09-28T20:51:22.001-04:00Basil, I was just jerkin' your bulldog chain a...Basil, I was just jerkin' your bulldog chain about the spam filter. Seems I remember some jackass that had you pegged for the guy in charge of it, so I thought it might be somewhat funny.<br /><br />Sigh...<br /><br />Naw, the spam filter is just fine. I did have one slip through this morning...we're up to 102-1, and I can live with that.<br /><br />I also did actually realize that you were focusing on The East. But, being the smartass I am, I figured I'd throw in my beloved Westside Tigers as one of 'em. But, it ain't gonna happen.<br /><br />It's over. 'Bama is your/our champs. We will likely beat The Klan by 40, lose to Flarda by 2, and to the stinkin' Hawgz by 10. When it comes to the other 'Bama skool, we will probably win, but only because they suck even worser than we do.<br /><br />One thing you are right about is that the SEC is turned upside down (at least in my looking at it). I think we got the Urng on Saturday, and I don't even know if we are home, or away. I'm pretty upside down, and screwed up myself right now.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-68549552930082630132010-09-28T20:15:44.117-04:002010-09-28T20:15:44.117-04:00Oh, I don't think Vandy will win out.

A...Yes, LSU controls their destiny in the SEC West. Along with Alabama and Auburn. They are the only three in the West like that. As for Mississippi State, Mississippi, and Arkansas, if any of them win out, they aren't guaranteed a spot in the title game.<br /><br />If I'd have told you at the start of the season, that those 3 would control their destiny after 4 weeks, you'd have agreed.<br /><br />Not so with Vandy. You get that, Andy, but in case anyone else doesn't, I'm focusing on the East, because it's so screwed up right now.<br /><br />Oh, about the spam filter, all I can say is it works just fine for me. It missed one so far, and hasn't caught anything that it should let through.<br /><br />And, as long as it works for me, everything is fine. Just what kind of screwy stuff do you get? Or do I not really want to know?Basilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304218067534993876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3052406779197845814.post-66065602219727311822010-09-28T19:53:06.496-04:002010-09-28T19:53:06.496-04:00Basil, my beloved LSU Tigers control our destiny, ...Basil, my beloved LSU Tigers control our destiny, too. All we have to do is beat the Urng, Osburn, Flarda, 'Bama, the stinkin' Hawgs, and The Klan. Then we might get a chance to win the conference in the title game against Vandy.<br /><br />But on to more serious business. Blogger's spam filter sucks! I don't usually complain about such things, but since you run the show I figured I'd go ahead on and get you to do something about it.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
