The Winter of our Discontent

Posted on by

You know it’s winter when you’re attempting to pass the long, boring hours of time where there’s literally nothing to talk about. Football season (the one that counts, anyway) is over. Senior Bowls and highlights are all we’ve got. Dial up games on YouTube on the weekends and try to make these slow weekends go by faster until Spring Game debates begin.

Then we have ice storms. But that doesn’t abate the running mind of the average SEC fan, especially those who call the Paul Finebaum show.

Here’s the call:

I mean he’s technically not wrong. What are you really going to do at that point, except stay on the line for probably your most important call of the year. To hell with the house, I need to know about LSU’s portal Pawwwwllllllll…

It’s just means more, amirite?

Thursday Thought Provoker: Joey Freshwater’s Proposal

Andy Staples gladly seeded a bracket based off a recommendation from none other than Lane Kiffin.

This is intriguing, and given how the 2024 season ended, I have to say that I wouldn’t have wanted to face South Carolina given our tendency to struggle with mobile quarterbacks as well as how menacing Carolina’s defensive line would’ve been. We could’ve well taken an L in game one of this.

Other thoughts: Ole Miss beating Texas for many of the reasons listed above against Carolina. I think tOSU easily beats the Tide, but what about Indiana and Boise State? Imagine giving the B1G more stuff to crow about? Miami with a fully invested Cam Ward could’ve done in the Shittany Liars. I’m at a loss to predict how Tennessee and SMU would’ve played out, too, though a home crowd in Neyland may have been an advantage for any opponent not coached by a guy whose name rhymes with Furby Shart.

What do you think? Still tOSUs championship? I can see the Fighting Irish making it to the finals, but the right side of the board seems more competitive and a Georgia-Suckeyes rematch would’ve been interesting to see.

What’s Your Crystal Ball Saying Pawwllllll?

“I don’t feel great because I do think they took a dip,” Finebaum said. “And I think just like we used to with Nick Saban, expect him to play for the national championship, and losing the title game felt like a lost cause. It’s almost that way now with Georgia and I felt like they underperformed. I mean, they came through at the right moment against Texas, but they had so many disappointing moments … But there were just so many decisions made and talking to the fans every day Greg, whether it’s true or it’s imagined, they do not like Mike Bobo. 

Chaser:

If ignoring Paul’s wisdom is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
