Hear Ye! Hear Ye!!! Cream Talk by Stallion - Week 6

Good Sunday to the Six Pack!
</SPAN>
It’s very somber within the Stallion’s stables this morning. Let’s compare this feeling to those that the Six Pack nation may understand. It’s like James Evans whipping JJ with the belt. If you’re a conservative Republican, it would be compared to Obama spanking Romney. It’s like Forrest Gump saying goodbye to Jenny. It’s like listening to the Godfather get through reading an advertisement for one of his sponsors on “This is Our Show”. These are all various forms of experiencing pain, but comparable to what the Stallion felt last night and this morning.
</SPAN>
For the first time in 18 regular season games, the Stallion has felt this agonizing sense of “what now”. He now has to realize that the 2012 cream recipe doesn’t ask for purple and gold sprinkles in it. At some point in time, one would think creativity might come into play into trying to figure out how to get a first down, but the Stallion realizes that sometimes even his beloved Tigers can run out of players. There were less flies dropping out of the Amazon jungle then yesterday’s game in the Swamp.
</SPAN>
I’m sure the Georgia fans feel a similar pain, but at least the LSU defense decided to show up and make the game competitive. As the Stallion predicted, Mark Richt-Stoops fills his annual poopie diaper with a game that would even make Adam Richman of Man vs. Food want to throw up if you wore the red and black. It’s a shame with a schedule like that and talent like that, Richt can’t get over the hump.</SPAN>

And finally, what ever happened to good ole fashioned logic? When you are up by 4 or more points and there are 2 minutes left to go in the game and it’s 4[SUP]th[/SUP] down, you don’t have to make millions to know that you should punt the ball and give your team the best shot of winning the game. By the end of the game, I guess Oxford got to experience a good ole fashioned “Whoooooop!”. And if they are lucky they probably got to see an Aggie make love to a goat after the game. Johnny Football is quickly becoming a heartthrob in College Station.
</SPAN>
And now for the Week 6 rankings:</SPAN>

#1) Alabama Crimson Tide – Much better than LSU. Not even close</SPAN>

#2) South Carolina Gamecocks – “Awwww, heeeere comes the Rooster”. That Ole Ball Coach looks like he’s on a mission this year to bring the roosters to the Cream Promise Land. By the way, they are much better than LSU too.
</SPAN>
#3) Florida Gators – The new punk of the SEC – Will MusChump. I’m not sure if I can take any more interviews with that dufus. By the way, his team is better than LSU.</SPAN>

#4) Georgia Bulldogs – Although they couldn’t score any points last night, they obviously have a team that has no problem typically putting up points. They are better than LSU.
</SPAN>
#5) Mississippi State Bulldogs – Stallion is going out on a limb with this ranking since the Dawgs really haven’t had a team to test them. But all indications are is that they are better than LSU. </SPAN>

#6) Texas A&M – Got to give it to a team that can turn the ball over 6 times on the road and still put up 30 points and win it. Helps that you played against an idiot of a coach. Little Johnny better learn how to slide if the Aggies want to stay in the top half of the SEC Cream Rankings. If Little Johnny Football is on the train, then LSU won’t stop that locomotive. They are better than LSU.
</SPAN>
#7) LSU Tigers – Offense sucks. PERIOD. Can someone tell the Stallion how to win games scoring zero points?</SPAN>

#8) Tennessee Vols – The orange pants are at the Dry Cleaners this weekend. Had their offense hit the field, they probably could have shown LSU had to manufacture a first down.</SPAN>

#9) Vanderbilt Commodores – Showed signs of life by taking it to the SEC East stepchild. They even could produce touchdowns. Maybe they should tutor LSU on how to move a football and be creative.
</SPAN>
#10) Arkansas Razorbacks – I guess once it got up to $40 million in debt, he decided he better figure this thing out. John L. still needs a job. Offense is better than LSU’s. </SPAN>

#11) Ole Miss – Have to admit, the Bears are playing with heart this year. Now they have to figure out how to win. By the way, they have a better offense than LSU.</SPAN>

#12) Missouri – Appears that the SEC is a little too much for them. But their offense is comparable to LSU’s.</SPAN>

#13) Auburn – Just when I thought the Alabama Razorbacks were the worst team in the league, “you go out and totally redeem yourself.” If their pet’s heads start to fall off, then it may be time to replace Cheezestick as head coach. The seat is officially sizzling. You are definitely worse than LSU and that says a lot.
</SPAN>
#14) Kentucky Wildcats – When is basketball season? You are definitely better than LSU at that sport.</SPAN>

HOT BOUDIN – Cocky is strutting his stuff and Gamecock nation is proud. How fitting that the Cocks may have cream in their future.
</SPAN>
COLD COOSH COOSH – Georgia Bulldogs – Game Day is representing. The nation is watching. The marbles are on the line. The perfect stage for Mark Richt to lay his egg.
</SPAN>
Love,</SPAN>
Stallion</SPAN>

Can't argue w/the rankings

Concerning LSU's offense, I thought Mettenburger was a huge upgrade at QB. I was wrong. He has been pretty bad. I'm curious to see if vanilla MSU can morph into rocky road on rocky top.

Arkansas and Auburn still blow my mind. The amount of turnover felt at both programs since last season explains the difficulty of transition in college football, much less the SEC. Never at one point did it cross my mind that they both could be so pitiful this season. Overall not much to say different about your rankings. I think Ole Miss should be #9, while UK, Mizzou, Auburn, and Arkansas, should all be locked into the last 4 positions in the SEC for the remainder of the season. Arkansas could certainly rise from it before the season's end if they do not give up, but up until last weekend, they have been horrendous.

Couple of things here.

First, the more simple point - The Stallion has lost his way. The Cream isn't about who is better right now. Its about how teams will finish. I think Stallion's emotions played too big a role in this week's rankings. No way A&M is ahead of LSU. Is LSU's offense that bad? (Flab checks the schedule/scores.... wow, 18 points against better-than-doormat opponents). Maybe Flab is being too hard on the Stallion here.

Second, at worse, South Carolina is in a tie for first with Alabama. SC has looked better than Bama this year.

I tried to tell everyone that there was a reason Mettenburger couldn't get a snap last year. As much as people kept saying how bad LSU's QBs sucked last year, the 2 that played were playing instead of him for a reason. And it wasn't because he was going to be an upgrade.

Cream is for end of season but if things don't change on offense we could lose some that we aren't supposed to lose! The offense is that bad

You forget that Florida's defense is pretty good.....

LSU should be #5 ahead of MSU. The game this weekend will determine #6, 7 and 8 between MSU, TAM and UT. The rest is accurate.

You know damn well State is going to lose in red stick. Hell I'd venture to say y'all have a good chance of beating SC.

Move LSU to #4 and UGA, MSU & A&M down 1 spot each. Y'all got beat by a damn good team. Bama, USC and Florida are all legitimate top 5 teams. LSU is still a borderline top 10 team. Got to give a cold coosh coosh honorable mention to the Auburn offense. Really? Arkansas gives up 50+ in 2 straight conference games and all you can get on them at home is 7? I'll be doing something in my office pool this week I never expected at the beginning of the season. I'll be picking Mississippi to win a conference game.

It's going to be interesting to see how LSU handles this loss. Will they come together or will they crumble? My gut says crumble, but we shall see.

The only way that happens is if we limit SCe to 10 points. Not happening!

MSU is still really a mystery to me but you're winning effortlessly which is a sign of a good team

Seconded.

Les caught hell for sticking with Jefferson in the BCS title game. After the game, Les said he was their best option. The mad hatter was right.

I believe it is a more than that. I think you have leadership issues, but time will tell

They also have injury issues. They're still a very good team, but with that schedule, they're looking at 5-3 in the SEC.

Disagree with you. Les should have given Lee the opportunity.

We knew what he could do. JJ wasn't getting it done. I am wondering what Rivers has got. However, not all of the blame can be put on Mettenberger. The OL is just in a lot of flux right now with the key injury to Faulk and with Wiliford going down yesterday as well. It's catching up with us. However, most of those guys played last year and dominated the line of scrimmage. The blame has to be put on the OC who is doubling up as OL coach as well. When Kragthorpe got diagnosed with his illness, that really changed the outlook for the offense. Miles needs to look at upgrading there next year.

Agree on both counts. I have to think Lee was on some kind of secret suspension for the title game. No other reason not to put him in there. And I actually thought Mettenberger looked pretty decent against Florida. He's a very average QB with no mobility, but he didn't screw anything up that I saw yesterday. Injuries are a big issue for LSU, on both sides of the ball.

You have to switch Georgia and The Mississippi State University. You have two undefeated teams in the East, two undefeated teams in the West. The cream is truly rising to the top. The battle for the SEC East will be 10/20 when USC plays Florida. The battle for the SEC West will be decided when The Mississippi State University invades ua-Tuscaloosa on October 27.

The winner of those two semi-final games will compete for the SEC championship.

The last time we won

Marky Mark and the funky bunch had the #1 song in the land and Stallion was a State fan.

That call was at least questionable. I doubt it would have been overturned if we had instant replay back then. How about when your guy fumbled at the 5-yard line and the refs called it a TD in 2000? That was one of the worst calls I've ever seen. And there's no way that wouldn't have been overturned.

Stallion, I told you a month ago that USCe and LSU would be a toss up....

you mocked me and said that LSU would be favored by 7 at home. Either way, I still think it's a toss up and should be a great game.

Their offense is un-imaginative, to say the least. I don't think he looks bad.

they avhe some injuries, so need to change their O, but don't seem to be.

You're right if you don't count the win that the refs gave you in Starkville when you were clearly short of the end zone in 1999

"Clearly" is just in your own imagination in the '99 game. I certainly have doubts whether he scored on that 4th down play myself but there was NO camera angle that ever definitively showed him down before reaching the goal line. As was mentioned that play even today wouldn't have been overturned with replay. The 2000 gift TD given to LSU with the back fumbling out of the back of the end zone from the one however was out in the wide open with the ref looking right down the goal line. Only thing I can figure with that ref was either he was an LSU fan or annebriated because that was the only thing that explained his blown call with that view. Of course MSU eventually lost that game in OT, a game that should have never made it to OT.

No more so than saying that Gibson didn't score in 1999. Every time I've seen that play, it looks like he probably scored. And that wasn't the last drive of the game either. There was still almost 2 minutes on the clock when he scored. LSU got the ball back twice after that TD. Maybe you should blame Booty for that pick instead of the refs.

I'm almost certain we didn't get the ball twice! And I don't believe there was two minutes! I'm certain his knee was down at the 1 and he rolled in!

tell ya one thing I like about us.....

no stupid penalties. No drive killing false starts, holding, or many other such penalties. It seems we are afraid to stomp on someone when we have them down. Is mullen still playing opossum? I have no idea. We aren't shooting ourselves in the foot with TO's (sans chris smith) and penalties. Russell seems very smart with the ball for the most part, he makes some scary throws but he gets the ball where he intends it the majority of the time.

If LSU's o-line and LB are hampered with injuries I would say we could beat them. Not! They play like world beaters against us every year no matter how bad they seem. I'll believe we can beat them when I see it. I think we can beat aTm if we keep/force little johnny to stay in the pocket like OMU did.

Your memory has faded. Or you're just remembering what you want to remember. You might want to check the play-by-play. Your memory of his knee being down is just as selective as your memory of you getting the ball back twice and there being almost 2 minutes on the clock.

MSU scored with 1:39 left in the game, LSU then threw an int with 59 seconds left. MSU turned the ball over on downs with 4 seconds to go in the game deep in LSU territory. Technically, LSU did get two chances with the ball. For the record, I do believe that Gibson was down before he scored and LSU probably would have won the game if the correct call would have been made. Without a doubt, MSU got screwed in Baton Rouge the following year and the dawgs would have gotten a W if it were not for the ref's blunder.
