Upset Brewing in the Bayou

[NWASooner]

People need to stop talking about OU like they are any good.  They give up around 35 points a game to bad opponents.  Their defense would be the WORST in the SEC. 

They'd also score at least 40 on anyone in the SEC.  Granted, we might also give up 40 but still.....

[GabeMartini]

To counter your point, USCe had the #1 defense in the nation, and got just tore up today by a good offense.....

USCe played a lot of average teams all year. They had a very soft SEC schedule.

[drivetimeporks]

im basing my  thoughts on the big 12 this season  on the texas / tex tech game.. best game of the year..amazing.. no other words for it...  no team ive seen couldve handled tech , cept maybe the NY giants

[GabeMartini]

Tigerdroppings is pretty hilarious right now.

Your teams have also lost to teams like Duke, Troy, Wake, UCLA, Wyoming, and West Virginia.  That's why people are saying the SEC is average.

No, that's why you are saying we are average. nwaSOONER

I think you need to pick an argument and stick with it.......South Carolina has played just about all the teams you listed as being "good" SEC teams just a few posts ago.......

People outside fo the SEC are ALWAYS saying that of the SEC.

This year, it's more true than usual.

But they don't say it because it's true. They say it because they hate us.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Looks like LSU is making a run, 31-17.  Can they come all the way back?

[Hugehogsfan]

Score?

sooner is just getting anything he can in, because he knows that when OU gets to a bowl, they will find a way to choke like they have the last few years

I have a suggestion.  Try winning a BCS game before criticizing the SEC.
It is very convenient that you completely forget the Big 12 north, the best team you have is Mizzou and they are sliding back into mediocrity.  They will really lose it if Pinkel goes to Washington.  Also remember that aTm lost to Arkansas State, practically a community college.
Do you really want me to go on?  I will though.
 
You are crazy if you think OU would put 40 pts up on Bama or FL.  Saban has embarrassed Stoops before in a BCS NC Game and would smack him again. 
You are going to have to come up with a better argument.

[Hugehogsfan]

thanks

[Oliver]

At least we don't have a team that's lost to Arkansas St.  Texas A&M holds that prestigious honor.

[GabeMartini]

31-17 Troy. 13:11 left in the 4th quarter. Troy just went 3 and out and is going for it on 4th down in LSU territory.

Pass incomplete. LSU takes over on their own 40 or so.

[SLC]

31-17 Troy. 

Edit - when I posted Gabe's update was not up yet.  Apologies.

[Ugly Uncle]

Here comes LSU.  Ball on the 40.  Down by two scores.  over 12 to play.  This game might not be over.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Wow, Troy is hitting the panic button hard....stupid penalties and a preventless defense.

[GabeMartini]

About 11:00 left, and LSU is driving into Troy's territory. Lee looks like a QB for the moment.

[GabeMartini]

BTW, Les is still wearing a white ball cap.

[drivetimeporks]

At least we don't have a team that's lost to Arkansas St.  Texas A&M holds that prestigious honor.

but we did have  a team that  beat a now 6-4 western illinois team at home  on a miracle play

[Hugehogsfan]

oh come on troy. Don't lose your mind now.

[GabeMartini]

but we did have  a team that  beat a now 6-4 western illinois team at home  on a miracle play

Houston?

[NWASooner]

Texas A&M lost to Arkansas State.  Tennessee lost to Wyoming.  What's the difference?

BTW, Wyoming lost to UNLV today and they're now 4-7 for the season.  Their best defensive performance of the season was against Tennessee who they held to 7 points.  Their second best performance was holding North Dakota State to 13.

[Hugehogsfan]

keep the updates coming. iPhone loads slowly.

[drivetimeporks]

What are you adding to this conversation I'd really LOVE to know.

my  statement was every bit as relevent to the conversation as  the Big O's

[GabeMartini]

Scissors beats Paper. Paper beats Rock. Rock beats Scissors.

[GabeMartini]

LSU rushes for a TD to make it 31-24 Troy with 10:33 left in the 4th.

[Jphog]

Troy 31 - LSU 24

[drivetimeporks]

Houston?

hmm preferred your earlier retort about  someone "masterbating goats" .. true class... the "Houston?" reply is getting stale btw

[Boardon Hamsay]

Wow, either Troy has fallen apart like a '78 Pinto or LSU was playing without cups for 3 quarters.

[SLC]

but we did have  a team that  beat a now 6-4 western illinois team at home  on a miracle play

The key being we won the game.  Are you not a Hog fan? 

[Hugehogsfan]

The key being we won the game.  Are you not a Hog fan? 

No he's. A HDN fan.

[preach33]

Now the Hogs need to take care of Business @ MSU. Then bring on the Tigers at the ROCK!!

[kimjongsqUeAl]

This is absolutely amazing!  Screw LSU!  GO Trojans.. of the South that is.

[drivetimeporks]

The key being we won the game.  Are you not a Hog fan? 

a fan yes but  providing evidence that  we arent above the fray  here.. West illinois other losses have come to jaugernauts like south dakota state,  northern iowa , and southern Illinois..so  we shouldnt be embarrassed

[GabeMartini]

Troy just threw an interception. LSU has the ball on the Troy 15 yard line, with a chance to tie the game. 9:31 left in the 4th quarter.

[drivetimeporks]

Kinda what I was starting to smell. A rat. Must be time for some of those mousetraps

for the record, not a nutt fan.. just not a mindless homer like the masses here

[kimjongsqUeAl]

Troy just threw an interception. LSU has the ball on the Troy 15 yard line, with a chance to tie the game. 9:31 left in the 4th quarter.

GOD $@%#^%@$%%$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That freakin figures

[GabeMartini]

LSU goes 3-and-out after the pick. 4th down. Looks like they're going for the Field Goal.

[GabeMartini]

for the record, not a nutt fan.. just not a mindless homer like the masses here

Then why waste your time here?

[GabeMartini]

31-27 Troy. 7:51 left in the 4th quarter.

[Boardon Hamsay]

Troy = wheels coming off while driving 85mph on I-540, on a Friday, at 5:15pm.

[SLC]

Texas A&M lost to Arkansas State.  Tennessee lost to Wyoming.  What's the difference?

BTW, Wyoming lost to UNLV today and they're now 4-7 for the season.  Their best defensive performance of the season was against Tennessee who they held to 7 points.  Their second best performance was holding North Dakota State to 13.

Difference being the aTm loss was despite a unified effort on aTm's part.  TN, the players turned it in, they've even started "petitioning" for Fat Phill to keep his job.  That said, TN should never have lost that game.  It appears they are a bunch of quitters, which is probably worse character-wise. 

No doubt the SEC is down this year, but still on a close par with the Big 12 and no other conference is close to those two.  You can try arguing that the Big 12 is better, but when you have teams like Iowa St, Nebraska, Kansas (talk about overrated) and the rest of the Big 12 North it is hard to say that it is a tough conference top to bottom. 

The SEC is still deeper, even though it has 2 teams that clearly are ahead of the pack. 

[drivetimeporks]

Then why waste your time here?

someones gotta  steer  you folks back towards reality  on occasion

[ChicoHog]

Is this on TV?   What station/network?  I'm watching UK/Vandy.

[SLC]

31-27 Troy. 7:51 left in the 4th quarter.

Thanks for the updates Gabe, you are better than the ESPN website.

[GabeMartini]

  someones gotta  steer  you folks back towards reality  on occasion

So you see yourself as some kind of super-hero, perhaps? Do you have an outfit and everything? The "steer hogville posters and readers back towards reality" man. Neat.

[GabeMartini]

Thanks for the updates Gabe, you are better than the ESPN website.

My pleasure. I have Gameplan this year, so I'm getting my money's worth.

[GabeMartini]

Troy goes 3-and-out again (narrowly misses a big-time completed pass up field on 3rd down). Troy is punting to LSU with 7:27 left in the 4th. Still 31-27 Troy.

**Update** Punt was garbage. LSU has the ball at the 50 yard line with 7:16 left.
