Drooling over today's slate of games!!!

What a great lineup of college football today! The Red River Shootout which looks like it should be as good of a match up as ever. Both teams have gotten off to a great start. I think Oklahoma will win today for the following reasons: They have a little more talent and speed. Better coaching. Stoops has Mack Brown's number. The only times Texas has beat OU recently was when a certain Vince Young was wearing Longhorn burnt orange.

Then we have Florida/LSU. Both teams have speed and talent...I give the Gators the advantage because of Tebow. LSU can't match him at qb. Plus it's in the Swamp, so I think Florida should pull it off.

Then of course there's the matchup that has lost it's luster...Tennesse/Georgia. This has been a great rivalry over the last several years. The visiting team has usually won. Tennessee has beat Georgia the last two years. Two years ago, between the hedges, Georgia had jumped out to a huge lead. Then, the Vols pulled off a major comeback and won like 52-40 or something. Last year, on the banks of the Tennessee River, the Vols demolished Georgia in what proved to be the loss that kept the Dawgs out of the BCS Championship.

Speaking of the SEC, I met a guy yesterday who claimed to be an Auburn fan. When I said, "Oh! War Eagle!" he responded, "No, they're the Auburn Tigers." Are you really an Auburn fan if you don't even know what War Eagle is?
