Alabama vs. Tennessee, Prediction Pick, 2009

I know, this seems like an obvious call, the defense will keep Tennessee in the game, but with the way Alabama tamps down opposing quarterbacks, there’s no way possible that Tennessee can win this one Alabama 16, Tennessee 3 on a late Mark Ingram touchdown.

But I am getting ahead of myself. And you should watch the game anyway. This is your third Saturday in October, a week late. I will give you reasons as to why, because I am sharp. Sharp like Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese.

1. As mentioned before? There’s a distinct chance of an egregiously bad call going against Tennessee.

When you have such a source of punditry like a Terrell Owens, saying the refs were, in the twitter vernacular “str8 cheatin’” you have a lot of people expecting Mark Curies crew to make a lazy, Tim McClellandish judgement in favor of the Crimson Tide. And you know what? I’m for it. Complaining about the refs is as American as complaining about your idiot congressman.

And after a call like this? The rep as the Phil Luckett of the SEC is deserved for the Curies crew.

Rocky Top may be apoplectic.

2. How Jonathan Crompton is like Vampire Weekend

See Alabama’s defense has been crushing the hopes and dreams of every quarterback it faces. It could be Paul McCall or Jevan Snead, it doesn’t matter. The worst game every quarterback that has faced Alabama has had will likely be against Alabama. The three tiers of doom will crush your dreams. So of course that means…

The Kid don’t stand a chance.

3. Mark Ingram is so good…

That I would allow for you to ape Bill Brasky facts for a comparison of just how good he is. But please don’t. It would demean us both.

Ingram has singlehandedly taken the Bama offense and put it upon his shoulders considering that Greg McElroy has found a way to fall off the cliff. And after he gashed a generally strong South Carolina defense for 246 yards, the dreaded Heisman talk is coming his way.

However? He’s not someone who has been bottled up. And playing Virginia Tech and South Carolina means you have not been feasting on cupcakes. That being said? I’m sure that Monte Kiffin is going to have n interesting plan to stop Ingram.

All in all? Tennessee will find a way to keep the game close, but in order to win? The defense and special teams is going to need to find a way to get 14 points together. So, I’m going to call it like this. A Mark Ingram touchdown late finally knocks out Tennessee.

The score? You already know the score. Silly.

You think you know? You have no idea. This is the Diary of the SEC: Week 7

Hi. It seems as if the knee-jerk wisdom of the Southeastern Conference has hit the wonkavator again. There are some teams that are bad that which once were good. There are some teams stung that did not deserve to be. There are two teams that had byes. First? We start with what hasn’t changed.

Vanderbilt: Still looking quite useless.
LSU: Did the bye week heal the offense? Or does Gary Crowton need a scrappy rag arm at quarterback to make his offense sing? No difference from every other week previously.
Tennessee: Fair warning? If you do come out with a scrappy performance against a top five team? You do get the crew from Georgia/LSU and Arkansas/Florida. Get your bitching fingers ready and slow to a complete stop if you’re anywhere near Mark Ingram or Julio Jones. But you’re inconsistent. I wouldn’t worry.
Mississippi State: Have fun inexplicably scaring, but ultimately falling short with Florida this week because your coach knows all their secrets.
Ole Miss: Meh. Nobody cares about Ole Miss on the field anymore.

You know what I mean?

Georgia: The fans are still on tinderhooks until the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Then they will finish building the train to run Willie Martinez out of town.
South Carolina: Scrappy. A solid choice for yet another trip to Florida to play a Big 10 team on Janurary 1st. Better than what we originally thought? Still in the second echelon. They did lose their #1 wideout for a while with a concussion.

Okay, so the wonkavator may just be because my Google reader was all up in that Arkansas-Florida. That being said? 5 teams fates have definitely changed.

Alabama: Put it this way. They are the Kings of Big Rock Candy Mountain and Mark Ingram will break your ankles should you disagree.
Auburn: They are downright shook going into the toughest part of their schedule. Gus Malzahn is this close to having a Toonces, the driving cat like impact for the Tigers. For you see, everybody was stunned by a cat driving the car, but now? They’re about to cut to the stock footage of the car careening off a cliff.
Arkansas: It seems to have come together. They just couldn’t overcome lazy officiating and their own kicker. If Pure Lundquist was shocked by the calls? You know they were wronged. Tejada is better than that usually. And in 2010? Meet your new Ole Miss.
Kentucky: They circled the got damn wagons and now need only hold serve here on out to clinch THE GREATEST RUN IN BIG BLUE FOOTBALL HISTORY. And eventually? Lindley is going to come back too.|
Florida: I’m not saying the fix was in. I’m not saying that you couldn’t beat Alabama in your current state. Not to say they would either. You do have potholes in your future. (Step lively if you wish
