This album came out a week or two ago and I've pretty much been hooked on it since it came out.

Some of you might recall how Alabama cleared the Georgia Dome of those pesky Clemson fans earlier this year well before the final whistle. Well, another trip to the state of Georgia, another contribution to the ease of traffic flow (click to enlarge):

The folks over at SBN's Missouri blog ROCK M NATION put this together and it's pretty funny.

#1 USC lost at Oregon State Thursday night and #4 Florida just lost to Ole Miss. This game gets bigger and bigger with every passing hour. Can we play with the same determination and physicality that we've shown so far? God I hope so. Roll Tide.

I'm going...who else is in?

Georgia players asked coach Mark Richt on the plane ride home from Arizona if the upcoming game against the Crimson Tide could be a "blackout game" and Richt gave it the thumbs up. Georgia did this for the first time last year and did it for both their home game against Auburn and for their bowl game against Hawai'i. In case you didn't see any pictures of it from last year, it looked pretty cool. More pictures from their blackout against Auburn can be found here

I'm excited that this is being viewed as such a huge game...and how couldn't it be viewed that way featuring two 4-0 teams ranked #3 and #8? I'm also super excited about the fact that I'm going to be there. Here's hoping we fair better than The Barn and Hawai'i did when the Dawgs wore black...

Go re-read Memphis Tider's Arkansas preview. One thing in particular sticks out:

"We haven't gotten a lot of interceptions so far this year, but I look for that to change tomorrow. Casey Dick has thrown for 600+ yards in 2 ballgames...but he wasn't pressured. You better believe he'll be pressured tomorrow. Anytime he was pressured under Nutt, he cracked. We could end up with 4 or more picks tomorrow, which could make it a blowout anyway."

 

Here is the animated drive chart for the yesterday's Crimson Tide game against the Razorbacks. As always, thanks to Joel from Rocky Top Talk:

It's been a pretty fun week of CFB already. Kansas State and Louisville on Wednesday, an overtime game in Boulder last night and who isn't completely amped up for Baylor at UCONN tonight....or something....Anyway, here's what I'm tuning into and/or attending on Saturday:

Alabama at Arkansas (11:30 AM - Raycom/Gameplan): I don't think this one really needs any explanation.

Florida at Tennessee (2:30 PM - CBS): Hopefully Phil & Co. will lose their fourth in a row to the Gators. I'll be watching this one on DVR because I'm going to to to...

Alabama State at UAB (3:00 PM - N/A): UAB is 0-2 all-time against Alabama State, but in fairness to the Blazers, it was while they were still a I-AA team and occurred in the 4th and 5th years of the programs existence. Revenge game!

LSU at Auburn (6:45 PM - ESPN): The game between our two main rivals in the West is always a contest to watch just to see what we'll be up against later in the year.

Georgia at Arizona State (7:00 PM - ABC): Go ahead and get your "previous channel" button set up for this one as I imagine we'll all be flipping back and forth between this one and the aforementioned SEC West showdown.

Nothing particularly embarrassing this week. I suppose the Glen Hansard track is kind of embarrassing for someone running a football blog, but say what you will that movie was awesome. Anyway, on to the 10...

1. Jose Gonzalez - "Teardrop"
2. My Brightest Diamond - "Dragonfly"
3. Glen Hansard - "Say It To Me Now"
4. Noel Gallagher - "The Importance of Being Idle"
5. Clutch - "Army of Bono"
6. Gogol Bordello - "Dogs Were Barking"
7. Richie Havens - "Scarlet Flames"
8. Boards of Canada - "Sherbert Head"
9. Stereolab - "Spark Plug"
10. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "Still In Love"

 

Since almost none of those songs are on the YouTubes, I'll just pick four songs by these artists for you to dig on instead...
