Dear Sixpackers!
</SPAN>
On Saturday, football fans saw an incredible turn of events on the national scene. That pansy style of football that is played in the Northwest is great for blowing subpar teams out of the water by halftime, but when a team that is built to hit people straight in the mouth comes into Eugene, a different experience is felt by the Nike Ducks. It’s one of shock and horror. One that can’t fathom victory no matter how close the score. One that will feel pain on Sunday. And that’s what the Stanford Cardinal did to the Oregon Ducks in their backyard.
</SPAN>
And what about those dreamers from Kansas State who once again under Bill Snyder show that they can play football at a high level most of the time, but when at the top, it’s not so easy to handle success. This was true in Snyder’s previous reign as head coach. History has a tendency to repeat itself. When K-State gets the national spotlight, a big can of sphincter tightening incurs resulting in a 1-5 Big 12 opponent rolling you like Manumana “The Slender” in Necessary Roughness.</SPAN>
The lesson, my fellow sixpack fans, is simple. Not every team is equipped to handle the pressure that comes with being the cream. This was so true on Saturday in what the college football nation experienced.
</SPAN>
In a weekend, when the best conference in the land didn’t have nearly the marquee matchups that we have come to enjoy the past several weeks, the events that took place Saturday night rivaled surprises ranked up there with Hulk Hogan body slamming Andre the Giant, the New Orleans Saints winning the Super Bowl, or getting the final restaurant bill after offering to pay for a meal in which the General partook. Suffice it to say, these outcomes were exciting and shocking, but the cream always finds a way to rise to the top Come January 2013, you will see an SEC team peak as the Cream of the Nation and not just the Stallion Cream Rankings. </SPAN>
The Cream rankings for Week 12 are:
#1) </SPAN>Alabama Crimson Tide</SPAN> – How lucky can one fan base be. Just when the Tea Bagger gets 10 months jail time and way too much media coverage, and the rest of the fan base felt closure of the jaws of defeat, Surprise Saturday comes one week later thrusting Big Al back into the national spotlight as a BCS championship contender
#2) </SPAN>Georgia Bulldogs </SPAN>– Keeps rolling along as they prepare to face Saban’s boys on Dec. 1[SUP]st[/SUP].
#3) </SPAN>LSU Tigers</SPAN> – “Wow what a game!” The Legend of the Hat lives on!</SPAN>
#4) </SPAN>Texas A&M</SPAN> – College Station is now harvesting its sickening arrogance as Johnny Football changes his name to Johnny Zendejas. He looks like a kicker in stature….why not?</SPAN>
#5) </SPAN>Florida Gators </SPAN>– You would have thought Florida would come out offensively with much more inspiration after their near defeat by the hands of the Cajuns. Not the case.
#6) </SPAN>South Carolina Gamecocks </SPAN>– The Lattimore loss is in full effect.
#7) Vanderbilt Commodores</SPAN> – Franklin’s salary is going up as fast as the national deficit.
#8) </SPAN>Mississippi State Bulldogs </SPAN>– Strong bounce back after the three game slide. So why the nerves come Egg Bowl time?
</SPAN>
#9) </SPAN>Ole Miss Rebels</SPAN> – Valiant effort by Mr. Freeze. Dumb coaching decision by attempting a 55-yard field goal to give the Tigers great field position. Did the Aggie game not teach you anything, Hugh?
#10) </SPAN>Arkansas Razorbacks</SPAN> – Who cares anymore?
#11) </SPAN>Missouri Tigers </SPAN>– Mizzou, when you play Big East opponents and a bowl game is on the line, please represent our conference with dignity by spanking that tail.
</SPAN>
#12) </SPAN>Tennessee Vols</SPAN> – Hey Sixpack, still think Tennessee is a quality opponent? Say goodbye to the pants.
</SPAN>
#13) </SPAN>Kentucky Wildcats </SPAN>– Samford is no match for the mighty Jokerless Cats.
#14) </SPAN>Auburn Tigers</SPAN> – Chizik, you drop the A&M from Alabama and get the W, then we will move you up the rankings and salvage that job. Win it for the Stallion!!!</SPAN>
HOT BOUDIN – Vanderbilt Commodores - Not so much that the Stallion didn’t think they were going to win the game over Dooley’s boys. But the way they are consistently doing it and trying to convince the non-believers that Vandy is a formidable representative of the SEC. Way to go out and take care of biz against your in-state “rival”. </SPAN>
COLD COOSH COOSH – Tennessee – Dooley lost his team, the fan base, and now his job. There’s always life after Knoxville. Can I get you a good real estate agent in Hattiesburg?
Love,
Stallion</SPAN>
