In the absence of IGK double-agent 'cornpone', Military Strongman J.J.
has been asked to handle SEC duties this week.  He has, however, agreed
to set aside any Bayou Bias.


Scores this past weekend:

ALABAMA (9-0) sweeps away LSU's bowl hopes (1-8), 31-11

The Tigers were raring to go in Baton Rouge, and it showed as they pulled 
ahead by 3 with only 12:29 remaining.  ....Remaining in the first quarter,
that is.  It proved to be shortlived as Bama pulled out to a 17-5
halftime lead and never let the Tigers get back in it, despite an
impressive 217 yards passing by future Heisman Winner Jamie Howard and 
the Tigers' offensive juggernaut.  

A little hometown boasting:  despite a 1-7 record heading into Saturday's 
'contest' at Tiger Stadium, I was one among the paying attendance of 76,813.  
I'd swear at least 10K of those on hand, however, were screaming Tide 
followers, most of whom spent the majority of the morning blasting "Sweet 
Home Alabama" on their car stereos. (Gee, its hard to hate Lynnard Skynnard 
fans.)  I hereby set aside this time to apologize for any offensive posts 
made during the last week regarding the Alabama Crimson Tide or any of their 
witty (but never long-winded) net.fans.

ARKANSAS (2-6-1) stalls at MISSISSIPPI STATE (7-2), 10-3  

The Bulldogs looked to the stingy side of their sometimes two-faced
defense to preserve a win against the slumping Hogs.  It was good timing
by the State 'D', since QB Greg Plump threw more interceptions than
completions (2-11-3-43) while the offense could only muster a FG.
It could get really ugly against the visiting Tide this Saturday if 
MSU fails to heal their offensive woes.
(...AROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, ROLL TIDE, ROLL....)

FLORIDA (6-2) nips Southern Mississippi (6-4), 24-20

The Gators needed a late 3-yard score by Rhett coupled with a late
defensive stand to hold off the upset-minded Golden Eagles.  After
falling behind 20-17, the Gators got the go-ahead TD with 9:42 left.
USM then took the ensuing kick and drove 69 yards to the UF 13.
There the upset was officially snuffed out as Waters' 4th down pass
bounced out of the end zone.  The Gators extended the nation's second
longest home winning streak to 17 games.
(...AROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, ROLL TIDE, ROLL....)

KENTUCKY (4-5) is waxed by VANDERBILT (3-5), 20-7

Coming off a career game against MSU, UK's Pookie Jones hit just 7 of 27
passes for 75 yards as the Wildcats offense was shut out Saturday.
Vandy, on the other hand, rolled up 255 yards on the ground en route to
snapping a four-game losing streak.
(...AROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, ROLL TIDE, ROLL....)

OLE MISS (6-3) thwarts Memphis State (5-4), 17-12

Despite edging out the Rebels by nearly 10 minutes of possession time,
the Tigers drop their first game since 'The Insurrection.'  Russ Shows
continues to improve, completing 14 of 22 for 162 yards, 1 TD and 0
ints.
(...AROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, ROLL TIDE, ROLL....)

SOUTH CAROLINA (4-5) edged Louisiana Tech (5-4), 14-13  

Once again the LA Tech defense turned in an outstanding performance,
shutting out the 'Cocks only to see the offense sputter away the win.  
USC's scores came on a 91 yard kickoff return and 37 yard int return.
Tech fell to 5-4, seriously damaging their bowl hopes -- although the
Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl Committee is reportedly licking its chops.
(...AROUND THE BOWL AND DOWN THE HOLE, ROLL TIDE, ROLL....)

AUBURN (5-3-1) was idle.

GEORGIA (7-2) was idle.

TENNESSEE (5-3) is idle.
