<p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">SPECIAL EDITION OF CREAM TALK – 2011 SEASON<span style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </span></font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Dear Six Pack,</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Happy New Year to you!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>In every man’s life, priorities change causing one to give up something he so passionately enjoyed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>One of those enjoyable activities for yours truly was providing the Six Pack nation with intriguing insight and perspective on the best college football in the land – the Southeastern Conference.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I am now giving back 13 weeks of riveting narrative in a matter of one 2011 Cream Talk Special Edition.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">But before the Stallion breaks down the 2011-12 Cream Rankings, for the record, the Stallions wants you to know that the preseason rankings matched up perfectly to what you will experience today from the final Cream Rankings in 2011.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>That should be of no surprise to my past readers who know the Cream Crystal Ball never lies. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>So in essence you, the readers, didn’t miss much movement in the formulation of this year’s Cream from week to week. </font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Also before the Stallion presents his final rankings, below are SIX (in honor of this website’s namesake) new year’s resolutions that the Six Pack readers, SEC fans, and football enthusiasts in general should consider for 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>These resolutions are based on many hours of research and experiences that the Stallion feels the readers need to learn, need to consider, and/or need to take to heart.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Resolution No. 1 – If you are in your 20’s or above, and you continue to write letters to your fellow family and friends <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>and continue to use your high school number, such as “Love, #51”, as your signature, then the Stallion recommends making it a 2012 goal to sign off with either your birth name or your Six Pack handle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Either would be an improvement to your high school number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I won’t mention any names from the original Six Pack who exhibit such an Al Bundy-ish behavior, but let’s just say his nickname is the equivalent to the name of Herman Cain’s pizza company.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Resolution No. 2 – If you are a Six Pack reader, the chances are highly likely that you are still fat and continue to make a resolution to lose weight every year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Don’t put that pressure on yourself in 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Eat a steak followed by a whole cheesecake after reading this Special Edition of Cream Talk, and let the fatness continue for 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>You only live once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(However, tell your loved ones not to blame me if you do not make it through the year alive.)</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Resolution No. 3 – If you are unemployed due to Obama’s current economic “recovery” plan, the Stallion highly recommends you apply for the position of wearing a mascot’s headpiece on ESPN’s Game Day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Awww, “17” it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>On second thought, the job position isn’t even open yet!</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Resolution No. 4 – If you feel that Mississippi State lacks depth on the offensive line, I highly recommend that you recruit from your basketball team a gentleman by the name of Renardo Sidney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He fits the mold.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Resolution No. 5 – If your last name happens to be either Sandusky or Fine, I would highly recommend changing your last name to Tebow.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Resolution No. 6 – Please welcome our newest brethrens Texas A&M and Missouri with a heartfelt SEC welcome when they visit a campus near you in 2012.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This welcome should include throwing your beer on them, giving them your pasty-skinned moon by bending over right in front of them, and taunting them heavily after you beat the crap out of them on the field.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And if you happen to lose, well, the Stallion recommends the quick sucker punch in the nuts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And for the Aggie women, I’m sure some of them may have nuts too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>(Just kidding honey but I won’t be kissing you after an A&M touchdown even though it will be highly unlikely that such a thing will happen to my beloved Tiiigaaahhhs!!! ) </font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">And now for your much anticipated FINAL Cream Rankings with a special Hot Boudin and Cold Cush Cush selection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, I will present this going from No. 12 to No. 1 which is different from previous cream talks.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">12)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>TSUN – The Stallion has never been more impressed than the special search committee that was assembled to find Houston Nutt’s replacement.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Archie and Co. had to spend at least a lunch hour to come up with that hire.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>All they had to do was hire the Stallion and I could have probably called Pat Riley, Joe Torre, or the entire Penn State staff to see if they wanted to make a quick million and get a side benefit of looking at some good looking women in Oxford.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I believe any of those people would have been just as much qualified as Hugh Freeze.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>I think Gus Malzahn would have been a choice had Archie not called his wife for a reference.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">11)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Tennessee – When do you begin to feel sorry for Lane Kiffen’s leftovers?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However, when your team can only score 7 points against Kentucky while having a bowl game riding on it, it may be time to hire Archie’s Search committee to find a replacement for Derek Dooley.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He didn’t even have 13 players on the field this year.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">10)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Kentucky – Any team that has a QB with the first name of Max and a coach with the first name of Joker belongs near the bottom of the cream mix.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Just sayin’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">9)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Vanderbilt – Showed promise under James Franklin, but still can’t recruit the top tier athletes that they will need to vie for a championship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If the East continues to perform like it has the past two years however, then Vandy won’t have to find the blue chip recruit to win it.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">8)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Florida – In terms of years, what is the over/under of Muschamp having a heart attack or aneurysm on the football field beginning in the 2012 football season?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>By the time a Gator game ends, Muschamp looks like he’s been through one of the local car washes, except he decided to bypass the Mexican towel boys after being washed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>He makes Nebraska’s Bo Pelini look like Mahatma Ghandi.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If the Gators plan on rebounding, he will have to hire a proven offensive coordinator under 400 lbs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>This would eliminate rehiring Weiss, or hiring Mangino, Friedgen, or Fulmer (he’s probably 400 by now).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Mus”chump”, remember, you can’t spell Taxslayer.com Bowl without Gator (signed Steve Spurrier).</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">7)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Mississippi State – High expectations brings mediocre results aGAIN for Bulldog fans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>No offense to Mullen, but to base your head coaching career on the self-proclaimed 3-peat state “championship” is rather embarrassing if you are anyone but a Mississippi State fan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hell, maybe some MSU fans agree.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Although the Stallion realizes that beating Ole Miss is extremely important for job security, let’s put a leash on the outlandish accusation before playing the Mustard Buzzards.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It’s also time to beat someone of significance in the conference to help support a stellar coaching career at MSU.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">6)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Auburn – Apparently not only does every other SEC school fan base find Gene “Cheezestick” annoying but now your coaching staff is jumping ship.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Mulzahn to Arkansas State – are you kidding me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Defensive staff to Washington – are you freaking kidding me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Washington just had a 67 load dropped on them a week ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>That may be a worse situation than the Penn State coaching gig.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>It’s time to drop another $180K on the next Cam Newton before the ship sinks in Auburn, AL.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">5)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>South Carolina – Can the Stallion get a moment of silence for a fallen warrior?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The Spaniard, Stephen Garcia, brought much excitement to the Cream Rankings over the past two decades, but after several off field incidences and horrific on-field passes, it was time for the Emporer Spurrier to slay him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Had Lattimore stayed healthy, who knows how the Gamecocks would have fared.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">4)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Georgia – After humiliating the SEC against the potato farmers in the season opener, Georgia finally found a defense that showed constant improvement throughout the year and probably played the Tiiiigaaaahhhhs its toughest half of football of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Of course you go out and completely humiliate our beloved conference against a Big 10 foe to end the season, because you relied on your “idiot kicker”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">3)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Arkansas – If this were a Cream Ranking for coaches, Arkansas would be No. 12 as Bobby Petrino has fallen to rock bottom on Stallion’s coaching classy list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>A&M should have taken a note from Arkansas on hiring an offensive minded coach after chopping off Sherman’s head.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Petrino wins games but he won’t win championships until they learn to play defense.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And stop worrying about other coaches running the score up on you and instead, focus on stopping them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">2)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Alabama – King Saban continues to put a power house team on the field every year to vie for the cream title.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>However a bonehead halfback pass call against the Tiiigaaahs allowed the cream to slip away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Does the Stallion think the Tide is the second best team in the country? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>YES!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Does the Stallion think they should be in the BCS Championship ?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>No!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>9 to 6 BAMA!!!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>Crossing the other team’s 35 doesn’t constitute 7 points in case you were wondering!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">1)<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>L S U Tiiiigaaaahhhhhs – As much as the Stallion would have loved to have written a Cream Talk on a weekly basis this season, it was nice to just sit back and enjoy the magic each week.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>From the opening game against the Oregon Ducks until the final snap against Georgia, the Stallion realized he ate a lot of crow this year based on past Cream Talks about Les Miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Although consistent blame was put on last year’s offensive coordinator Gary Crowton, it used to baffle the Stallion how clock management, and lucky play calls by Les and Co. could go on and on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>However, one thing no one can deny is Miles’s recruiting ability and getting his players ready to play smash mouth football while keeping chemistry on the team. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>This may have been one of the best coaching jobs the Stallion has ever seen considering all that took place --- beginning with LSU’s 1st Team All-American Marine Head Kicker Jordan Jefferson’s suspension, to the never homeless Russell Shepard, to the Dazed and Confused Three Amigos with the synthetic marijuana, and finally losing your offensive coordinator to Parkinson’s Disease for the entire season.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Time after time, the Tiiigaaahhhs showed why they are the cream of 2011 this past football season, and none of this would have happened had the Tigers not had a proven leader at the helm in Les Miles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>No matter the outcome on Jan. 9th, the LSU Tigers have proven that they are this year’s Cream based on the schedule they played and already beating Bama at Tuscaloosa.</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Hot Boudin Player of the Year – The Honey Badger, Tyrann Matthieu – The Stallion cannot recall a player that has more impactful plays in a game that rarely touches the ball than the Honey Badger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>There will be many that would give Trent Richardson that honor, but Alabama’s defense was the difference maker much like LSU’s is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>And one of the main reasons for LSU’s defense being so dominant was due to the playmaking ability of the Honey Badger.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes"></span>He forced more turnovers and had incredible kick returns that had such an influence on the game’s outcome.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Neither would win a beauty pageant though!</font></p>
</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt" class="MsoNormal"><font face="Calibri">Cold Cush Cush Player of the Year – Hands down goes to Stephen Garcia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>If it were not for the erratic play of the 18th year senior, then the Gamecocks may have made a run at the East.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>For a guy that shows so much promise, all he was missing was a little bit of our Lord and Savior.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Garcia could learn from Tebow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>An Honorable Mention goes to ME – for letting my reader’s down for most of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hope the Stallion came strong with the Special Edition!</font></p>
