I firmly believe that everyone who voted USC #1 in the preseason poll should never get another vote.

Preseason rankings should have no bearing on the outcome of a season. At least wait until the first sunday in October to rank opponents. Then we might not see such cupcake competition in the early season as teams try and prove themselves more.

So what happened with Robert Woods and his concussion?

**Geaux Tigers** · 10-05-2012, 01:09 AM

I did a much less public but similar wobble-faceplant upon coming home last night.

NEW ORLEANS – Today Terrance Donnels is making Les Miles dance.
Over the years he's done a lot of things to LSU's football coach: Dropping Miles on motorboats, fleeing exploding buildings or using a machine gun to obliterate a Webster's Dictionary all in doctored videos called GIFs that he posts on the internet above the jagged signature of "LSUFreek." Wonderful is the symmetry when a satirist finds his perfect foil. LSUFreek mocks all the SEC coaches and much of college football, but nobody has proven a better fit for him than goofy old, grass-eating, syntax-mangling Les Miles in his LSU baseball cap.

This time Freek is altering an image of Miles at a press conference to make the coach look like a fat Elvis clad in a garish bejeweled jumpsuit. The image moves in the slightly jerky style of a GIF but if you watch it long enough, allowing yourself to be entranced by the gyrating coach in baubles and beads, you can almost feel Elvis even if you don't see it in Miles' face.
Freek is quite proud of this Miles as Elvis, which took four hours to complete. Soon he will send it to his friend Spencer Hall, who will post it on the blog Every Day Should Be Saturday. Hall will write a few words about Miles as Elvis and then the GIF will spread like a digital virus through the vast underground community of SEC message boards to whom LSUFreek has become something Terrance Donnels never imagined he could be himself: a sensation

But no head might be better than that of former Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino following the motorcycle accident the married coach had while riding with a woman who was not his wife. Petrino's face was such a pulpy, bloody mess, almost too grotesque to look at, especially when framed by a giant, white neckbrace. The look was a gift to a humorist and Donnels, who was on a sabbatical while still trying to absorb LSU's lethargic play in the national title game, came off his leave just to illustrate Petrino's downfall.
Freek's GIF of the Petrino accident is still cherished on SEC message boards. In it, Petrino, clad in a neck brace, rides a motorcycle past an approving Bill Clinton when the bike loses control, a woman falls off, Petrino and the motorcycle careen across the road breaking into pieces. In a final, brilliant touch, Les Miles laughs wildly as he rides past the wreck in a car.
"As long as you recognize the face that's all I need," Donnels says. "If you see a visor on the ground you know Steve Spurrier was there or a white cap and a purple jacket, you know it's Les Miles.
"I miss Pete Carroll. I miss Lane Kiffin at Tennessee," he says.
He gives a wistful smile.
"Kiffin brought me so much joy," he adds.

I'm actually kinda surprised the over/under for the West Virginia/Texas game is only 73.5 -- I was thinking it'd closer to 80. Seems like a real sucker bet, I'm scared to touch it.

ATLien · 10-06-2012, 06:16 AM

Really wish there was another 3:30 game. Just have a feeling LSU/UF is going to be boring until the last 2 minutes, seems like all of Les Miles' best moments have been in this series.

Gators are 1-7 in October the last couple seasons. Their October schedule starting today is LSU, @ Vandy, South Carolina and Georgia.

ATLien · 10-06-2012, 08:56 AM

Alabama's October schedule is @ Missouri, @ Tennessee, Mississippi State. Only two SEC East teams they face in the regular season.

ATLien · 10-06-2012, 09:07 AM

so Knile Davis isn't even the best Arkansas RB anymore? Jeez.

ATLien · 10-06-2012, 10:01 AM

Haha, Indiana is beating Michigan State 17-0 on the road.

Clemson/GT and Oklahoma/Texas Tech could be fun to watch.

27-17 Indiana with 5:21 left in the 3rd.

Arkansas-Auburn is depressing the hell out of me and I can't stop myself from yelling "INFIELD FLY RULE" after every punt.

Guess I'll start watching the UNC-VT game
