2013 NCAA Football Thread

No K.Webb?.....

 

Would love to, but we try to keep this thread SFW for the most part.

 

SURELY, there are SOME sfw pics....Just thought it was a great time to slip some in....haha

 

It was an LSU beat writer that voted UGA #1

From SDS...

The AP Preseason Top 25 came out Saturday, and Alabama was nearly a unanimous No. 1 except for two votes, but who’s counting, right? Georgia and Ohio State both received No. 1 votes, leaving Alabama with 58 of the 60 first place votes.

Glenn Guilbeau of Gannett’s Louisiana Newspapers voted the Bulldogs the top team in the country, and here’s why, via AJC.

“I was surprised (more didn’t),” Glenn told me. “Georgia easily could have won it all last year and they return most of their offense and (Aaron) Murray from that team. And I think it’s good that they don’t return that defense. Sometimes it’s better when you don’t return players from a bad unit, you know? So I think that’s a good thing, too. And I just think it might be their turn. I think that’s what happens; sometimes it’s just a team’s turn.”

Even though Guilbeau cites the defense will be better, his main rationale is because Georgia’s offense is going to be special. The Bulldogs, led by Aaron Murray and Todd Gurley, will go toe-to-toe with Alabama and Texas A&M for the SEC’s most explosive offense. Will that be enough?

I’ve remained in the minority – like Guilbeau – thinking Georgia’s defense can improve upon last year’s underachieving stallion. Maybe they won’t have another Jarvis Jones, but collectively, with egos now gone, this group could gel into a better collective unit. The front seven should be better, and they may have to be to compensate for a younger, inexperienced secondary.

 

Hey that's kinda how I feel. I mean everybody kept telling our big guys on D last year how great they were, compared to a bunch of guys that want to earn their spot and get the recognition this year. They could and should be hungrier, just have to see if we have the talent on D, but the heart and desire should be stronger.

I'm excited and nervous at the same time. But who knows? Scam pretty much carried Auburn to their championship, because their D wasn't that good that year.

 

I'm not sure how to feel about this. We're what may be surprising to some, up near the top in win % in conference yet we don't have a recent NC while teams with lower % have them or even more than 1. And a lot of our success has been over the last 12 years during Richt's tenure.

Alabama enters 2013 as the SEC’s only program to win 800-plus games. Tennessee should join the Tide the first week of the season. Three other teams aside from Tennessee have won 700 or more games. Texas A&M should join the club with eight wins this year.

Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State are the only three programs that dip below .500 in total win percentage.

Alabama falls ninth in total wins nationally behind Michigan, Yale, Texas, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Harvard as college football’s winningest programs.

Also, new rule this year, uniform numbers and jersey colors must contrast, not just be outlines. So, say, Oregon's Black on Black would be illegal. I think that's pretty stupid. Thought it looked pretty cool.

Suck it, Martinez


Suck it some more


Aaaaaaaand suck it everyone on Ga Tech...

 

^^^ When he ran back that blocked FG, I thought we were sunk, but later on... Amari Cooper, y'all...

9 DAYS!






How's that ground taste?

 

I'm not gonna lie, I thought it was over then, too.

Still one of the best games I've ever seen.

9 freakin days!

 

Exactly...but 11 for us...I sure hope our secondary (*cough* Matthews) is good to go. Those hamstrings are no joke.

 

Some of y'all might have waterfalls but we got the four square courts! Try and contain your jealousy.

I remember playing that wayyyy back in high school...good stuff!

 

OK... tree-tops and slams are OK, but no power-slams and no around-the-world.

 

Holy shit! I go camping for 5 days, come back and catch up and read all kinds of funny shit back a few pages.

Anyhow - football is 9 days away, DirecTV made a deal with FOX Sports 1 and 2 while I was boozing it up in the woods and now I won't miss any football.

Can't believe kickoffs are 9 days away!!!!!

 

I think everybody did, including our defense unfortunately. Not to take anything away from Bama. Just think our D let up after that on the following drive.

 

Let up, or got rolled over by TJ Yeldon and Eddie Lacy?

 

Dang...didnt know AJ had all those tats
