As everyone knows I was to be in Gainsville with Rev. and SRM for the LSU and Florida game. I was well on my way when I stopped in Mobile, Al and had some food. While on the road I made it all the way to the Al/Fla. border when I realized I left my cell phone at the resturant in Mobile,so I turned around and went got my phone.

I Stopped somewhere in Escambia county Fla. and got a hotel room because I was tired from driving. Keep in mind this was my first long trip after my accident and I still take meds from that event that took place some months ago. I texted Rev. and let him know where I was and what was going on. I was to leave early that morning to meet up with him as I was about 4 and a half hours away still.

That night at around 2 a.m someone was beating on my door of the hotel so I got up and opened it. There in front of me was some crack head who was drunk and asking me about someone else and where they was. I laughed at first and said you have the wrong room. The person was insisting that whoever they was looking for was in my room and began to try and come in. I pushed him back and told him to leave, then he swung a punch at me! Big mistake because not only was he doped up and drunk but he messed with the wrong guy.  I took him down and pummeled him.

After that I got up went inside and called the police, which was a huge mistake on my part.  When the police arrived I told them what happened and the guy was still sitting outside pretty badly beat up. Because the crack head pressed charges I was arrested for battery...WTF!  Here's the kicker though, the police tried to make me feel better by saying, well you know that he'll probably not show up in court so the case may be dropped. Ok but in the meantime I have to go sit in some stinky ass cell with a bunch of other drunks and crack heads...wonderful!

Well I didn't get out until monday when I was able to call my boss to bail me out. Also to top it all off I have no cell phone now because one of the idiots who worked at the Hotel apparently stole it but claims they never found it.

Well I wrote this to let Rev. and SRM know what happened and to say I am sorry. More sorry because I never got to meet them in person than I am I missed the game. Which I found out from some guy who was arrested on Sun. morning that LSU lost pretty bad.  Never in a million years would I have imagined that some crack head and drunken idiot would have more respect than me, a tax paying and most of the time law abbiding citizen of this country.

So again Rev. and Pete I am sorry about not being able to be there and party with you guys regardless of the outcome of the game. Next time I believe I shall fly wherever I am going.

Ones a huge gambler and ones an offensive genius, both are the best coaches in the SEC and both are winners of the last two BCS championships. Urban Meyer and Les Miles will be opposite each other on the sidelines trying to out do each other on Sat. which in my mind just might be the best game in the SEC this season.

                                                       

      

   

Sure the Iron Bowl is a traditional rivalry but has been dominated by Auburn as of late. The Worlds largest cocktail party is also a very good rivalry game but known more for the tailgate party than anything. LSU vs Fla. has championship implications to go along with some drama, which has already been kicked off with the statement made by LSU DT Jean-Francois.

So which is the better coach of the two? Pundits will say that Miles won his BCS national championship with Saban recruits. If that is true then the same can be said for Meyer who had a handful of the Zooksters players when they won it all. This season both coaches have the players they chose, now it's up to them to get the most out of them.

The Gators DB's were considered young and inexperienced last season, they are still very vulnerable though. Another thing Meyer will need to do is get his lines to be more physical, LSU brings in arguably the best offensive and defensive lines in the nation.

For all the talk that Tebow would run the ball less this season, Meyer has had to use him often because the run game isn't that strong. Miles running game this season with Charles Scott is just as good if not better than last season with Jacob Hester. Scott is a bruising down hill runner who breaks tackles and wears defensive fronts down as the game gets in the latter quarter.

Tebow and Percy Harvin are Meyers biggest threats but neither have faced this season what will be gunning for them on Saturday. LSU likewise hasn't faced an offense as good as the Gators run. Miles will have to have his secondary ready because against much weaker competition they have struggled and often looked confused.

When asking who the better coach is consider this, Miles holds his own in just about every catagory with Meyer. Miles has a better SEC record, a better record against nationally ranked teams, more Top 10 finishes and fewer losses to unranked teams. traditionaly the home team has won most of the time, however the same was true for the LSU and Auburn game but LSU defied the odds this season. LSU has also beaten the Gators 3 out of the last four meetings.

So again I ask who's the better coach, I guess we'll shall see atleast for a few weeks come Saturday. These two could still end up meeting again in Atlanta for the SEC championship game, then we can start that discussion all over.

Since I am leaving early Friday morning to be in Gainsville in time for "Happy Hour" I will not be able to post these then. Not one to disappoint anyone, I decided to do these this evening instead. So here's this weeks Gator Animations from tigertoons.org enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's this weeks tigertoons.org animation. I'll be catching up to Rev. out there so I can see the look on his face when Teablow gets teabagged by the LSU defense. My guess is Teabow will be crying like a little school girl again this season after losing.  Maybe Teabow should adopt the Revs method of dealing with the pain of losing...straight Jack until your numb!

This week LSU DT, last seasons SEC championship game and BCS Title game MVP Ricky Jean-Francois was quoted as saying... "If we get a good shot on (Tebow), we're going to try our best to take him out of the game."  The interview was done by the Orlando Sentinel and was picked up by ESPN.

Though two-thirds of the people responding to an online poll at ESPN.com dubbed Jean-Francois' words "no big deal." Florida offensive coordinator Dan Mullen was quoted Tuesday as saying the  remarks seemed "unsportsmanlike" and was "not part of the game that we teach here."

Jean-Francois issued another statement to clarify his meaning. "We never go into any football game trying to hurt a player from the other team," Jean-Francois' statement read. "My comments in regard to (Tebow) were misinterpreted and were intended to reflect the style of football that we play at LSU. We have great respect for Tim as a player and competitor. By taking him out of the game, I meant as a defense we are going to try to make him ineffective. I'm sorry that my initial comments were interpreted another way."

Also when Tebow was asked about the statement from Jean-Francois he said, "I don't think he meant it like people took it; I think the school has put out a clarification."

This is football right? I think for anyone to take it as a threat to end Tebow's career need to watch college volley ball then. This is a game of true passion and violence but nobody is trying to hurt the other player, unless you are the to morons on the offensive line for Auburn last season who took out Glenn Dorsey.

I want to hear your opinion and comments on what Jean-Francois said. Do you think it was unsportsman like and do you think he is out to hurt Tebow?

I have 39 friends on my list but I wrote a few of you a fox mail. I'll not explain what it says here just check and see if you have something there and for the rest I'll send you one tomorrow or if I have your email address I'll send it there.

I'm sure a few of you already know what it concerns though as it's been an issue for the past couple of days now. If you want just email me at gambit5041974@hotmail.com or foxmail me back.
