I'll take a good defense over a good offense, they can never beat you if they can never score. I think 49-48 games are about luck, 12-10 is gut-check winning. If you haven't seen the photos from that last block, look for the painting coming soon. You've seen Rocky Stop, now meet Rocky Block. Terrence Cody is my hero!

Bama is beat up after no break this season, LSU is next, but they will be in Tuscaloosa right smack dab in the middle of the Breeders' Cup. :-(

Might want to tell your guy to keep his hat on while the play is going on or until he gets off the field. There would have been a riot if they threw a flag and let them kick it again, but Danielson mentioned it right away on the broadcast and he clearly took his helmet off before the whistle blew. I don't think the officials would have got out of Tuscaloosa alive, but after the joke celebration calls in the LSU-Georgia game, I guess anything is possible. He's certainly one big dude and will be playing nose on Sundays in the future.

I think you can easily punch Bama for not losing a game before the SEC championship. Auburn is folding up awfully fast and I think even the juice of a rivalry like the Iron bowl will not be nearly enough for them to compete with the Tide.

Danielson went on radio in Alabama on Monday and publicly apologized for not knowing the rule. The SEC issued a statement on Sunday that clarified that it would not have resulted in a re-kick.

Worried about LSU next week and Mississippi State on the road. That was a wild place last Saturday for the Gators. We won't talk about the td call in that game.

Check this hold on Chavis Williams #55 on that last drive (from Dora HS :) . But Coach Kiffin thinks the officials are not his friends.

I think you will CRUSH LSU, can't wait to see that line. But I did forget about your trip to Starkville. That place is becoming a tougher place to go for sure.

I love the "no artificial noise" rule. That, of course, does not include cow bells.

BTW, I like Cutcliffe too, he got a raw deal at Ole Miss.
