LSU has started practice. Lots of blogging going on. Players getting back into shape and team drills underway. The papers are full of information mostly about not much of anything. Gotta play a game first to see how things are going to shape up.
The Tigers are picked to finish second in the SEC West but already one preseason poll has picked them as number 8. They have picked Ole Miss to be higher. We will see. Miss State and Auburn do not represent a big threat. On the other hand Bama, Arkansas and Ole Miss do represent big threats.
Even Vanderbilt represents more of a threat than Miss State, never know what lurks around in Nashville these days. Tennessee is an unknown with a new coach (fellow with a big mouth but that seems to be what they like - Fat Phil had a big mouth but he was also a good coach). Again, Auburn is an unknown, new coach with the old one lingering around in the wings (Tuberville).
Bama is always a threat. Because of Nick Saban, the atmosphere is toxic. They will have a good team but that means nothing between the two teams. Florida is an emotional challenge. Tebow is not liked very much though is well respected. He can be shut down but you never know what Urban Meyer will pull out of his hat. Those will be very emotional games.
Georgia always has a very competitive team. South Carolina has a great coach in Steve Spurrier and you never know what he can pull out of the box either. Kentucky is also an unknown, they have been coming on strong lately. And Vandy has been a terrific team. These teams along with Florida and Tennessee represent the SEC East.
Hard to wait for the season to start.
