College football preview: Tide rolls into Athens this weekend

A look back:

Greetings my faithful football fans. I think its safe to say that once again, another fantastic football Saturday has ended, and some of us are more pleased than others...

If you are an Auburn fan, chances are you are pissed off, as you should be, over your loss to Les Miles and his crew of misfits, a.k.a. The Ragin' Cajuns. I get your angst, but I do not sympathize with you, as we have all been beat by the Cajuns. Besides, we all know Miles is an idiot, who without the talent -- recruited by Nick Saban -- would not be where he is today. But more on Cajun bashing later.

If your a Tennessee fan, chances are you are feeling hopeless, as you should be, over your garbage can of a season thus far. You guys have problems, major problems, starting with an offense that is out of sync. Your special teams are anything but, and your coach... well I will leave that one alone.

If you are a Georgia fan, than there is no doubt you are feeling superior, as you should not, because you haven't played a real game yet this season. Joe Cool, aka Coach Mark Richt and your team will have your challenges this season, starting with your black out game against, No. 8, Bama. All your barking and black jersies will not win you anything, but your talent will, so stick with that. I will keep my critisism of you to a minimus for two reasons: One, we play you this Saturday, and two, you do have talent that will take you to the championship.

If your an LSU fan, there is no doubt you are also feeling superior, as you should be as the reiging National Champtionship team, but mark my words Baton Rouge ... Your days are numbered!! You guys just won't go the hell away!

If your an Arkansas fan, you have realized that you are a drastically different, and far inferior team without Houston Nutt, Felix Jones and Darryn McFaden. Too bad so sad. Petrino's best hope right now: Start planning for next year buddy.

If you are a Florida fan, good for you. I dont like you, Urban Meyer or Tim Tebow the annointed one, but I dont have to. However, I do have to except that you are playing great football and that you will contend in the SEC this year and will, WITHOUT A DOUBT win some big games... Cocktail Bowl anyone?

If you are a Vandy fan, you are probably hopeful, thats what a win over The Evil Genius Steve Spurrier's Gamecocks will do for you. Keep it up and you may be able to ruin somebody else's Saturday this season...I would put money on it.

And, if you are an Alabama fan like me, you are smiling ear to ear, but nervous as you should be. John Parker Wilson has come back this year a completely different QB than last year. Terrence Cody, Mark Ingrahm, Julio Jones, Andre Smith, Caldwell, Grant and Javier Arenas have SHOWED up big so far. While Saban's second year as the King of Tuscaloosa is already ahead of schedule, we have no easy season ahead of us. Let's start with Georgia and go from there. this will be no easy win, if a win at all, neither will our games in Baton Rouge, and dare I say Knoxville. So lets not get ahead of ourselves. We are far better than anyone, even us, thought we would be this year, but are we good enough to beat Georgia? We will know soon enough!
