The RBR Weekly Poll: Week Three

Last week's poll wanted to know which incoming freshman you guys are most excited about (while also expecting them to actually play this season), and Julio Jones ran away with the thing at 277 votes out of a total 793. Burton Scott came in second with 108, while Jerrell Harris was a close third at 94. This week, we're still looking ahead to the coming season, and want to know which upset, should it occur, would be the one to cause you the most shameful, jumping up and down and cackling wildly glee. At first blush, I'd want to go with Tulsa over Arkansas because of the whole Gus Malzahn revenge factor, but since Nutt is in Oxford now...eh. So instead I cast my vote with UAB over South Carolina, since I actually pull for the Blazers and seeing them take down Spurrier (or anyone for that matter) would actually give me great joy.

As for me...
I know everyone is going to pick Appy State v. LSU, but I’m not. I, for one, got sick of hearing how Appy State pulled the mighty upset over a mediocre-at-best Michigan team, and frankly I hope LSU stomps them.
As for UAB, I hope Spurrier beats them 100-0. The last thing I want to see is that laughingstock of a program actually have a small iota of success. They are a cancer to the University of Alabama and merely drain resources from more important things. I hope Spurrier kills them and the BOT ends them with a football abortion.
As for me, I say go Wyoming.

UAB athletics doesn't...
...drain anything from UA athletics. Personally, I want to see UAB split from UA. As much as I love Alabama football, after the Jimbo Fisher deal was torpedoed by the board of trustees the University can kiss my ass.

...you forgot UAB over Tennessee. How did you forget?

I didn't forget...
...but UAB was the only team on SC’s schedule that would be amusing to see beat them and I didn’t want to have them on there twice.

Forgot...
...what about LA Monroe over Auburn. I guess we did not want to go there, right?
Yeah, definitely too soon!

Never too soon..
I knew exactly what I was going to vote for before seeing the list.
We have caught so much hell from rivals fans (especially Auburn) over the lose to LA Monroe. I would love to see Auburn lose, not so we give them hell back, but just so they would have no right to bring up our lose in ‘07 ever again.

The only games on this list...
that wouldn’t cause the SEC complete embarrassment would be Ole Miss/Memphis (just because they play every year, and Memphis has to win sometimes) and Tulsa/Ark (just because that’s completely possible. That line will be Ark -6 or under). Overall, I hold the “I’m an SEC fan” stance. I get into more SEC vs other conferences discussions / arguements than I do Alabama vs other teams arguements. So I always want the SEC to do good out of conference. As much as I despise UT, I’d love to see Fat Phil beat UCLA like they owe him money. Now come the 3rd Saturday in October, wearing that puke orange within my circle of safety is often not a good idea, “That goes for you too, Grandma”, but overall, I want the SEC to win all of these games. May not be a popular stance, but that’s it.
Gun to my head though, I pick the S. Miss / AU game just because that would be worth a chuckle…

Beautiful choices TopDaddy
I picked Ole Miss to upset AU just because I dislike EVERYTHING about Awbawn. And although UT comes just notch below my distaste for teams in general, boy do I want the Voltures to drop the baby-bruins like a bad habit or a one-night stand. Take your pick!
totally off-topic- y’all know me, I can’t look a tangent in the eye without shaking it’s hand and inviting it over for breakfast but check this out (no pun intended once y’all check out the video clip) :) :)
I dared not to put these two gems in a fanpost. . . .what would people think? So, anyway. . . . .as I perusing the internets today, I came across this: (if it was a fanpost, I’d title it “GUTEN, GLIEBEN, GLAUBEN, GLOBEN” a’la, that’s right- Def Leppard)

i’ll tell you good people right now, it’s a bit risque’. . . .it’s European topless sand soccer- Austrian women vs. German women- for all you futbol aficionados
and while we’re at it, Nico. . .this next one’s for you: the Chivas Song Girls 2008, and I’d title this one- “Que Mujer?” (trans: colloquially = “Hey beautiful”):

this is a posting by a LA/USC-beat writer/blogger. I couldn’t get to the actual Chivas site to get the proper link to THIS PARTICULAR picture of these beauties. I encourage y’all to “click” the enlarge. This one WORKS!*
