And the Valley Shook Raw Feed  

OK, I care nothing about either of these two teams, but Washington got hosed on a penalty call that may have been correct by the rule, but that may have created an absolute travesty of justice.

To recap:  Washington was behind by 7 points very late.  They scored a touchdown......

With the Tigers not playing this week due to Hurricane Gustav and its ill-effects, and no national games that grab my attention, this is a Saturday in which I'll be paying close attention to other SEC games.  Like with every football season, however, I have to pace myself.  This is......

This is the only open thread you're getting today.  Make the most of it.

Vandy had a great night last night, taking down its first ranked opponent since Jefferson-Pilot was in its infancy.  But perhaps we should be looking at the pollsters who continued to rank South Carolina after their abysmal offensive performance the previous week.

All systems appear to be more-or-less go for a game on Saturday.  It'll be one of the strangest game atmospheres ever if it were to occur.  Almost all of East Baton Rouge Parish is without power, as are most of the parishes surrounding EBR, and it will be slow to come back.  T......

The Picayune calls it.

Seems like the game will be cancelled and moved to our open date in November.  A sensible decision. 

Once again, with only 1 matchup of SEC teams, and only one team (Tennessee) seeing a bye this week, there are a LOT of games on tap for the SEC this week.  Ten, to be exact.  Let's examine, shall we?

My home town of Gonzales was reportedly hit by 75 mph winds, which ain't no stiff breeze.  While this is not a mega-disaster, it appears that power is out to 4/5 of a million people right ......
