Happy Sunday to the Six Pack!</SPAN>
</SPAN>
What a difference a week makes. The sky is bluer. The flowers are blooming. The air is cooler and crisper. And new stars are born every week. To much of the dismay of the General, his prediction of a blowout in Baton Rouge on This is Our Show was completely off base and sickening. But having known him all my life, it’s not surprising. The cream recipe still calls for a little bit of purple and gold tiger in it. Stallion must admit that the Vegas line of a 4 point favorite for LSU was shocking, but blowout??? Come on General, you are better than that. Have you not seen LSU’s defense play this year? And that star with whom the Stallion is referencing is no other than Mr. Jeremy Hill. He is what Marcus Lattimore wishes he is today and probably was at that age. The OBC’s offense was non-existent for most of the game. What happened to that vintage defense that got steam rolled by the power running game of LSU? You can’t spell Capital One Bowl without the OBC.
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
And congratulations to the Mississippi State Bulldogs as they work their way up the ladder of competition strength by holding off the Volunteers last night. The Stallion knows State fans are still vulnerable in some aspects of their game but in all reality, 7-0 is highly likely with the showdown in Tuscaloosa. The big question will be – can Tyler Russell impact a game against a defense that will certainly have a pass rush like nothing he has faced this year?</SPAN>
</SPAN></SPAN>
And finally, did the WAC impose its offensive and defensive strategies in College Station? The Stallion will confirm the answer to the question as soon as the Louisiana Tech – Texas A&M game completes. (Just got a note on my desk that it finally ended.)</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
The Cream crystal ball is feeling bolder, the Week 7 rankings explain why:</SPAN>
</SPAN></SPAN>
#1) Alabama Crimson Tide – Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’!!! Bama appears to be headed into another Cream Title if they can overcome Death Valley on Nov. 3[SUP]rd[/SUP].</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
#2) LSU Tigers – The Stallion is admittedly wrong for tiger dropping them to 7 last week. LSU’s defense alone makes the Tigers formidable against any team in the nation. If they can dominate lines of scrimmage like that, the Stallion feels the Tigers can beat anyone and will wind up being better than the teams below them.</SPAN>
</SPAN></SPAN>
#3) South Carolina Gamecocks – I’m in favor of having a Steve Spurrier reality tv series. The sideline shots are golden, but his press conferences are even better. The Stallion agrees with the OBC however. They still are a team that is going to win the East, and the Cocks are still submissive to the elite of the West.</SPAN></SPAN>
</SPAN>
#4) Florida Gators – Despite the win against LSU, the Stallion feels the Gators streak is about to come to a sudden halt beginning with the Roosters next week.
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
#5) Georgia Bulldogs – Richt spent this weekend counting the “what ifs” and the “what should have been’s” aGAIN.</SPAN></SPAN>
</SPAN>
#6) Mississippi State Bulldogs – As ESPN would say, the Mississippi State Rebels are looking good and that Taylor Russell kid has NFL potential written all over him. </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
#7) Texas A&M – Johnny Football continues to make plays and gather W’s for the Aggies. Sumlin forgot he coaches A&M and not Houston last night. The Stallion can assume that the extra 20,000 fans to bring the attendance up to 30,000 made a huge difference in Louisiana Tech's performance at Independence Stadium.</SPAN></SPAN>
</SPAN>
#8) Arkansas Razorbacks – Silently, the Razorbacks slide has ended and the R’Backs are destroying the bottom feeders of the SEC. Could they be getting their Mojo back?</SPAN>
</SPAN></SPAN>
#9) Tennessee Vols – It was a shame that we didn’t get to see the orange pants last night on the sideline. It’s also a shame that he’s about 5 more games before losing his job.</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
#10) Ole Miss Rebels – Keeps gaining confidence one game at a time and are good for an upset before the end of the year. Could it be…no…might it be…maybe…will it be the Egg Bowl???</SPAN></SPAN>
</SPAN>
#11) Vanderbilt Commodores – Game was played about what the Stallion and the rest of the nation expected. Competitive yet short of another SEC win.</SPAN></SPAN>
</SPAN>
#12) Missouri Tigers – The fact that they are ahead of any SEC teams is a shame, but in head to head combat, Missouri has enough finesse and desire to win against the two teams below them. To quote the Mizzou fans, "The Big 12 wasn't so bad of a conference to play in after all." With all honesty, the Stallion watched the first play of this game and knew it was over.
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
#13) Auburn Tigers – Apparently in football, one person can win championships – Cam Newton. Without him, Auburn is nothing more than a poisoned oak tree.
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
#14) Kentucky Wildcats – This team even made John L. Smith laugh.
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
HOT BOUDIN – LSU Tiiiigaaaahhhhhssss!!!! The Stallion still isn’t all in on that offense, but the defense is ferocious and the offense may be finding a little more identity. Huge win in Death Valley – where dreams come to a sudden halt.
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
COLD COOSH COOSH – Auburn Cheezesticks – When you don’t think it could get worse, you could help Ole Piss stop their 16-game SEC losing streak. Yikers!
</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
Love,</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
Stallion</SPAN></SPAN></SPAN>
