Is it Christmas Eve?

It’s Christmas Eve.

Not really, but almost.

Although tomorrow isn’t Christmas Day, it does begin another season of NCAA college football. With the Thursday night kickoff, the Southeastern Conference jumps right in with South Carolina taking on Southern Mississippi.

Later this weekend, the rest of the conference joins in and it looks like this:

Alabama hosts San Jose State
Arkansas hosts Tennessee Tech
Auburn hosts Arkansas State
LSU and North Carolina meet at the Georgia Dome
Mississippi State hosts Memphis
Ole Miss hosts Jacksonville State
Florida hosts Miami of Ohio
Georgia hosts Louisiana Lafayette
Kentucky visits Louisville
Tennessee hosts UT Martin
Vanderbilt hosts Northwestern

With most of the SEC playing scrimmage games this week, rather than predict winners and losers, I will go out on a limb and give predictions regarding each team’s Head Coach. You can hold me accountable for my predictions at the end of the season. If you have any comments, concerns or questions, feel free to chime in.

MY PREDICTIONS

The NCAA will not reverse their decision that the only Jeremiah the Right Reverend Houston Nutt will be able to preach from this year is found in the Good book, not the Mug Shot Book.

During the heat of a game, Bobby Petrino will cuss out and then fire an opposing team’s ball boy for wearing a team logo hat.

Lawyer turned Coach Derek Dooley will invoke the attorney-client privilege during all Vol team meetings.

Joker Phillips will find that having no returning starters on the Kentucky offensive line is no joke.

The hot seat that finally gets Mark Richt is the bench his team uses at the Clark County Jail.

Urban Meyer will continue to suffer from Esophageal Reflux from eating too much crow and having no Tebow steaks in his diet.

The Ol’ Ball Coach Steve Spurrier will find that his name is the only thing with a “spur” in it, as his tame roosters cause him to finally move out of a Columbia hotel also.

Les Miles will…..well…..be Les Miles.

Robbie Caldwell will take over for Jeff Foxworthy on “who wants to be smarter than a turkey farmer?”

Nick Saban’s statue will have the “s” missing from his name, but it will have more charm and personality than the Rain Man himself.

The bells Dan Mullen will hear ringing at the end of the season won’t be from Starkville cows, but rather BellSouth….as bigger programs come knocking on his door.

Gene Chizik will find himself neck deep in a post season recruiting battle for one of college football’s most prized recruits……Gus Malzahn.

That’s how I see it. What about you?
