    From the Thursday Oct. 29th Memphis Commercial Appeal

    Sizzle
    1. Ole Miss running back/receiver Dexter McCluster shows he has fresh legs with 260 yards running/receiving vs. Arkansas. Really, really fresh legs.

    2. Alabama defensive tackle Terrence "Mount" Cody blocks two Tennessee field goals without his stomach being penalized for roughing the kicker.

    3. Mississippi State freshman defensive back Johnthan Banks, with two interceptions returned for TDs against Florida, demonstrates the Gators should have recruited him as a wide receiver.

    Fizzle
    1. SEC coaches Lane Kiffin of Tennessee and Dan Mullen of Mississippi State whine about officiating. Wah, wah waaaaah!

    2. The way Arkansas' receivers dropped so many Ryan Mallett passes on Saturday, it's obvious none of them is studying to be an obstetrician.

    3. SEC offenses can't stack up to SEC defenses.

    Now you know ...
    1. SEC teams have had more field goals (131) this season so far than any year since 1992. Alabama placekicker Leigh Tiffin, who kicked 25 last year, already has 20 this season. The league record for a season is 31 by Georgia's Billy Bennett in 2003.

    2. Expect a heart-pounder in Knoxville on Saturday between Tennessee and South Carolina. Since 2000, the average victory margin of 7.44 points in this series is the third-closest margin among league series.

    3. Mississippi State already has 11 interceptions this season, three more than all of last season. Freshman Johnthan Banks and redshirt freshman Corey Broomfield have a combined seven picks.

    4. It doesn't get any spookier than this -- Ole Miss and Auburn, which play on Halloween this Saturday -- both have the same record (6-6-1) in trick-or-treat games. Auburn has mostly played Florida on Halloween, while Ole Miss has played LSU more than any other team on that day.

    5. The only SEC team with nothing but conference games remaining is Mississippi State, which finishes with Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas and Ole Miss.

    If they were studying to be obstetricians they'd drop the babies.

    What do you expect from sportswriters - even Ron Higgins an LSU Alum who wrote this article.

    Actually delivering babies is more like taking a center snap rather than receiving a pass.

    I predict this is a weekend of significant changes in standings. I think UGA upsets FLA, and USCe beats Tenn on their way to the SECe title. I know this sounds crazy, but I feel it in my bones. Spurrier may find a way to creep into this after this weekend, and change the story lines. Just an instinct.

    I heard about this. What do they really think they will accomplish? From all the sanctioning against him, I'd say Kiffin should stop blaming everything else besides himself :lol:
