EaleySpikes Sure, two wrongs don’t make a right and yada, yada, yada.  But it seems to use here at SNL that the foregoing is pictorial evidence that suggests the Ealey may have been giving a few Florida players, including Spikes’ bestest bud, Haden, the business on Saturday.  True, we’ve got no temporal sense of when this fracas occurred, but it seems reasonable to assume it occurred before Brandon “The Velociraptor” Spikes went Mike Tyson on Ealey’s orbs. 

This will please Pops, who as noted, doesn’t typically accept with aplomb foul play on the part of his beloved Gators (and quite often closes his eyes and ears and yells la, la, la, la at the top of his lungs when bad behavior on the part of the Orange and Blue is afoot).  As an added benefit, this fine photograph seems to mitigate if not exonerate poor Mr. Spikes, who has been beset by naysayers of the E-SPIN variety since this issue blew up last weekend.  We just knew that no man worthy of the Orange and Blue would stoop to such levels unprovoked.  Right?

Uhhh….no one’s perfect?  For some, like SNL’s dear old dad, this will be hard to stomach.  This is because it is axiomatic in the world of the old guard that Florida’s football team  is Luke Skywalker to Georgia’s Darth Vader.  But the fact of the matter is you don’t get to be the top Dawg without a 6′5 guy who looks like The Predator and isn’t afraid to gouge an opposing running back in the eyeball (it’s a scientific term, I know) now and again.  Put another way, you don’t get to the ATL by fielding a bunch of Nancy-boys. 

Good news for Spikes, he can confess to St. Tebow and hopefully, sin again when he meets Ingram in Atlanta.

Dad’s crushed psyche aside, it’s still great to be a Gator. 

Coming soon…another ode to Tebow, and a look ahead at next week’s slate.

Housekeeping…like so many tattooed girls we’ve met in pool halls over the years, WVU excited us under cover of darkness only to disappoint when the lights came on.  In a related story, we’ve noted that this year more than last, even the most marginally compelling of matchups has seemed to find its way to primetime television this year, which makes for a horrible noon slate for watching and more importantly, gambling.  This is no doubt due in part to E-SPIN’s unholy matrimony with the SEC, and in part because the Big 11 is horrible TV rife with slow players, corpulent chicks, and teams exchanging buckets of spit and the like after every game.  So….only 2 nooners today…

Ole Miss (-5) v. Auburn:  The frosty-tipped heads at E-SPIN , when not busy sexing starry-eyed interns in Bristol to “learn” the ropes, have been lamenting the demise of Ole Miss since the Rebels went down to (that’s “to” not “on” degenerates) the OBC early this year.  Since then, Saban’s rowdy horde has plundered The Grove, which has further eroded any widespread support for Nutt and his cronies. 

Erstwhile, on the plains, Auburn’s gimmicky offense has fallen so far its advertising on Craig’s List for world series tix.  Today, Auburn can try to get their life back against the best defense in the SEC outside of Birmingham and Gainesville.  We smell R-E-L-A-P-S-E.  Ole Miss wins easy, Ole Miss -5.

Wisconsin (-7) v. Purdue:  Only 7?  Oh yeah, Purdue got lucky and beat OSU last week.  Won’t happen again.  Wizzy in a laugher.  Wisconsin -7.

GTU (-11.5) at Vandy:  Vandy, laughing stock of the SEC football fan and pride of the league’s scholastic sorts, did there best to ruin our ‘Tussin theory last week, when they covered against the OBC’s poor performing ‘Cocks.  While erratic performance is common in South Carolina, it isn’t in the ATL where GT’s flex-bone damn near always finds the right spot.  The ‘Tussin theory will be back after the Jackets hammer the ‘Dores tonight.  Back the truck up on this one.

We’ve got two more we’re eyeballing, but these should keep you busy while we talk to our sources on the ground.

Sorry for posting late, alzheimer’s walk (we miss you Dr. Robinson) and a trip to the “Super” Wal-Mart, which would be more “Super” if it weren’t frequented by (apparently) all of Gainesville’s indigent, smoking, tatt’d trailer park denizens, and their equal-but opposite in every way-counterparts (figure it out flock)-speaking of which, “Affliction Guy” is beginning to rival “Lift Kit” Guy for the biggest a**hole title.  Nothing says badass like an Affliction Hoodie and a menthol.

Moving on…12-4 ATS in last 16, and 24-14  (we think) YTD…we’re hot at SNL and we know it…

Utah St. (-1) v. La. Lafayetted:  Why?  This game isn’t on TV (at least not that we know of), and both teams more or less suck.  All the better my pretties, Utah St. can pass, and has covered for SNL twice already against good teams.  Ergo, we expect the…hell….not even sure what the mascot is…an injun’ of some sort?  In any event, its time for the Utah St. “whatchamafaces” to win one.  Utah St. -1.

Oklahoma (-7) at Kansas:  Big Game Bob and his beleaguered Sooners go to Kansas to play Todd “Reesing Peanut Butter Cup” and the rest of the Jayhawks, assuming of course that the Kansas Hoops team hasn’t kicked the crap out of the whole lot of ‘em.  SNL has watched Kansas several times this year and can’t get over how many white dudes are on this team.  SNL still isn’t convinced that the Jayhawks recruited most of their players at the Republican Convention.  Oklahoma is sooooooo pissed, and loaded with legitimate, D-1 talent…the Sooners may actually kill (yes, kill, as in dead) Reesing today.  Oklahoma -7.

Idaho (+16) at Nevada:  Another lo-fi affair between two teams taht nobody cares about.  So sue me already!   You can follow it on the Sportline ticker.  Idaho can score and for those feeble-minded sorts who employ transitive logic to make their picks:  Idaho beat Colorado St. by 2, and Nevada lost to Colorado St. by 15.  Idaho +16. 

Iowa (+1.5) at Sparty:  Wrong team favored.  This one’s easy.

South Caroloina (-13) v. Vandy:  We explained last week how Vandy was the miracle tonic for what ails (fill in your team) at this time.  “Put some Vandy on that there wound boy!  It’ll get better real quick!”  This week, Spurrier’s Cocks will heal their sores with the miracle that is Vandy football.  The good news for Vandy is that most alumni and students are so cerebral that they don’t recognize anything (football included) that doesn’t involve Equine, Bordeaux, or Cigars as a viable pastime.  Sucks for them.  Cocks -13.

  As SNL blogs, The Vest has unleashed the hounds, and finds the “good-against-everyone-who-is-not-good” Buckeyes positioned to vanquish the Men of Troy.  Which, considering UCLA’s win over Kiffin’s Vols, is a good thing for all PAC 1+9 haters, present company included.  The game has been a bit like Rocky III, where Stallone is clubbed like a baby seal by Clubber Lang (Mr. T) in the beginning, and preps for a rematch for about 2 horribly acted hours.  During the rematch, Rocky is getting beat down by Clubber again but, thanks to Apollo Creed’s superb conditioning program (and a healthy dose of steroids), Stallone is capable of tasking Clubber’s best punches and after a few rounds, says “you ain’t so bad!”, smiling all the while.  OSU gave up a quick pick and went down by y but, like the diminutive Stallone, has risen to the task, and leads by 5 midway through the 4th.

Now, what we’ve learned in week 2…

SNL is going 2-1 today, with a chance to break the bank if Spurrier’s Cocks can pull this out-played with the moneyline.  Georgia survives, the moneyline is over…que lastima.  Elsewhere…Okie St. is not ready to run with the Big Dogs…Notre Dameis still slow on defense and aside from Da’ U, the easiest team to hate in CFB-seriously, how can you not dislike Clausen and his unwarranted smugness?  North Carolina is horrible, even in victory.  In general, the ACC is just abysmal this year, the Noles nearly lost to Jackson St., and SNL will be looking strongly at next week’s showdown with the Mormons-who don’t drink but still have lots of kids-who’d have thought?  LSU, who was out-gained by Washington last week by almost 250 yards, is struggling with Vandy.  While amusing, this is further evidence that Florida must run the table this year to ensure a spot in the BCSNCG. 

Finally, Kiffin’s Volshave a bit of a problem, it’s name is Crompton.  Thanks UT for ruining next week’s game with Meyer’s mercenaries-who were methodic in their destruction of Troy today-and eroding the conference’s image while you were at it.  Which is further prrof that Kiffin should leave coaching to do what any self-respecting man in his position would do, live off the modeling proceeds of his preposterously hot wife.   There will still be some satisfaction in watching Kiffin receive Urban’s “thanks” for his ill advised taunts.  He might not get a horse head in his bed, but he can count on a late timeout to ensure that UF sticks in a final TD to increase the MOV to something in the 5 touchdown range.  Enjoy your time in The Swamp, Nu’Keese!

Also, not much of a West Coast guy, but SNL would be remiss were he to fail to point out how much Colorado sucks…seriously, Hawkins, in addition to sucking, is easier to dislike than the herp, and you know it’s true. 

Coming Soon…
