It's in the air....
Yes.....it's that time of the year again. The day gets shorter. The wind a bit brisker. The returning droves of kids to school. And, the return of football. There isn't really a much better time for a sports fan then the months of September til March. Where pennant races and baseball playoffs coincide with pro and college football. Where basketball starts up, and right after we get over the Super Bowl, we get greeted with March Madness. Irrespective of which school (or Auburn) you prefer, this is the time to whip out your shakers and school colors, start drinking at 10 on Saturdays, and just have a dang good time. Nothing beats gameday excitement, and sadly, we'll have to recreate it the best we can away from campus. It's exhilirating to remember how 50,000 fans will simultaneously cheer or yell "DAMN IT BRODIE!". Who can forget the myriad of ways of sneaking in libations to the stadium, and yet always running out by the 3rd quarter. Days of yore where friends would drunkenly reach out for help as they were about to fall down the bleachers and grasp only air. Man, those were the days. Anywho, enjoy the season and ROLL TIDE ROLL!
As Good As It Gets....

Jimmy the Greek's predictions for the upcoming season:
Alabama - 8-4, cannot get off the schnide in the Iron Bowl (Ken Darby comes down with the "measles" minutes before the game)
Auburn - 11-2, loses to Florida twice (including SEC Championship) because Kenny Irons tears ACL slipping on toilet paper during racous celebration after victory over MAC power Buffalo)
Florida State- 13-0, defeating Miami in ACC championship game 63-0 because masked 6'1 white kid goes Jeff Gillooly as soon as Kyle Wright steps off bus in Jacksonville. Lose National Championship game b/c they dont actually deserve to be there.
Dallas Cowboys- 11-5, AFC East champions, lose in first round of playoffs with a 8 point spread due to TO's absence. He is later found tied up in a basement in Queens
Atlanta Falcons- 5-11... at least New Orleans is in their division. Mike Vick is Daunte Culpepper but faster (reads defenses at 'Green Eggs and Ham' level), Bobby Cox beats the shit out of Jim Mora, Jr's wife just for the hell of it.
Jacksonville Jaguars- 11-5, Mysteriously a capias is issued by a young Jacksonville prosecutor alleging Peyton Manning molested a 3 year old boy. The warrant is served shortly before kickoff. Jaguars win AFC south, Manning is cleared of wrongdoing, and the prosecutor is promptly fired. Go Jaguars!
There's your picks you swarthy sons a bitches. I gotta go, its the 1st of the month and time to wash my wife beater and comb my chest hair.

I predict a 1 loss auburn team wins the SEC and gets the cold shoulder from the BCS game because a one loss Notre Dame sneaks by to play undefeated West Virginia. Finishing the season #2, Auburn then named national champs by the Ladies Home Journal.

I too miss the good ole days of no real responsibility, over dressing for a football game, and watching the future leaders of Alabama make total asses of themselves. They needed the practice since they have a long line jackasses' footsteps follow. What were we so stressed out about back then anyway?

My picks:
Ny Giants win the Super Bowl. (I somehow got Burress, Manning, and Shockey on my fantasy team)
Alabama 12-1. Despite Shula's inability to complete a sensible sentance and his inept handling of the media, the Tide rolls into the BCS championship game where they lose a heartbreaker to Notre Dame. Shula is caught after the game smoking a spliff with Juwan Simpson. After a tearful apology by Shula - Mal Moore and Bryant Jr. hold a press conference to say all is forgiven and there will be no coaching changes.
Auburn 9-3. Losses to LSU and Alabama relagate the underachieving tigers to an dull matchup with Clemson in the Chic-fil-a peach bowl, which they lose 24-14.
UAB 1-10. Upsets Oklahoma sending Victor into bliss that he has not known for some time. Blazers lose every other game sending vic back into the Earlytimes bottle.

woutmonikerson, you might want to rethink that prediction. If Alabama is going to the BCS Championship game, then Hawaii must be at worst #5 to finish up the season, that was a hell of an 8 point victory though.
Here's is what will really happen. This actually happened to me while playing NCAA '06 for PS2. Auburn loses to Florida, then beats them in the SEC Championship, advances to the title game and loses to Notre Dame.
For those Bammer fans out there, hang it up 'till next season. Shula, or as I like to call him "The Disciplinarian," is just going to run Darby until his leg breaks off because of the lack of a passing game, and the defense will be great but will be forced to play 3/4 of the game. Now thats Alabama football!
If you arent waking up in a cold sweat with night terrors of Kenny Irons runnning rampant in T-town then either you arent a real Alabama fan, or you havent been paying attention. He is even faster than Tre.

I, too, share Tim's thoughts. I do not know what sort of diluted stary-eyed dreamer would think that Alabama is going anywhere better than the Independence Bowl. I would love to see Alabama and FSU go undefeated and play for the championship, but it's not going to happen. Even as an Alabama fan, I have no qualms admitting that the typical Tide fan has an absurd and unfounded point of view about how good they are every year. I will say, however, that Kenny Irons is overrated from what I've seen so far. He's good but not great. How bout them Seminoles? They challenge Alabama for most boring college football on TV, but it works.
