2009 SEC Football Discussion Thread

I dont expect as much out of BAMA this year. Ill still be rooting for them tho!

Well the know-it-alls of the the sport world at ESPN were claiming last year that this would be Bama's season. Thats why last year was such a surprise.

has Auburn ever been ranked this low pre-season?

The reason shocker is Ole Miss @ #6

 

[AuburnFan]

Ok so who's watching the South Carolina/NC State game tonight?

 

[The Chairman]

So, the race will obviously be for #2 this year. You're either a Gator... or Gator bait!

 

[mike_s]

The Gators have a pretty wimpy schedule this year....

I would have though they would have saved their "wimp schedule year" for the year after Tebow graduates?

You think the Gators have a wimpy schedual look at Bama, maybe wimper than last year. They might and that is big might win the west but the fun ends in Atlanta. Geaux Tigers

Yeah.... Bama has a wimpy schedule year also.


for example, Florida International, North Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee Chattanooga.
Mississippi State, Tennessee, Arkansas won't be much of a challenge either for them.

If Ole Miss lives up to the pre-season media hype, they might give Bama a run for the Money. Haven't been paying to LSU pre season, but they could give them a run.

who knows about Auburn. with their new coach, who didn't win but 5 games in the last two years, anything better than "sucks" will prob be reason for excitement


Alabama plays Virginia Tech tomorrow at 7pm CST. Should be a great game.

Well looks to be another long season again for my Gamecocks. Our D is again very good but will need a lot of help from the other side of the ball. Whats everyone's take on Tn?
