Given the rest of the content at Heathen, your college football round-up is kind of like crib notes for nerds on "How to Speak 'Guy'" at the water cooler. Keep it up, I like.

That having been said, the Tide always plays to the level of the team, even if it's beneath them. So how do we get rid of this tradition? That's the question.

Mizzou is no joke. They just lack running defense. Kind of like Tech.

Mizzou is a joke. They lack a defense.

I fixed your post. Miz barely beat the Illini, and don't play a ranked team until 10/18. Last year, they gave up 20+ points in 9 of 14 games, and 10 or more in all but 2. Sure, they beat a demoralized and freshly de-coached Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl, but I'd like to see them play a whole SEC team, with a real SEC defense.

Oh, and Patrick? Saban's gotta beat that tendency out of them. Fuck that. There is no time when sloppy is ok.

I totally agree. I have never been happy with that line of horse crap.

Aren't the Irish playing Michigan next? Didn't they lose 38-0 to them last year? Perhaps Michigan will tell them where to find the now-empty pot o' gold. Perhaps not. Besides, the win over San Diego was just as ugly as Tide's (if not more so).

At least the leprechaun wasn't straining to do pushups that game...

Actually they beat the snot out of Illini, and the the Illini came back and scored a couple in the 4th. Mizzou is playing without three starters. I expect them to be in top 5 by years end. We play a little defense in the Big XII and a helluva a lot more offense. Any team that rolls up 600 yds Offense is impressive. That QB formerly of Southlake Carrol is first round pro material. They are lucky they play in the Big XII North though CU is pretty good this year and KU and KST are pretty solid as well. One last thing, when you score 45+ pts a game giving up 20 usually is ok.

If you don't give up 20, you don't need to score 45.
