The Back Alley Archives

Founded: Three rabbis walk into a bar. The bartender asks, "What'll ya have?" The first rabbi says, "I'd like a scotch on the rocks." The second rabbi says, "I'll have a martini." The third rabbi says, "Fuck this, I'm gonna start a college instead of getting drunk with you two schmucks all the time." Jacksonville State University. Done. 1962.


Location: Didn't bother to look it up. Honestly don't care.


Famous Alum: Have you ever heard of a little lady named Teresa Cheatham? Neither have I because she was Miss Alblamlal in 1978. That's as famous as you're going to get with this school.


Head Coach: Jack Crowe (101-86 in 18 seasons overall. 87-56 in 12 seasons at JSU). He was the head coach at Arkansas in the early '90s. It's fair to say he's responsible for the mess the Razorbacks are in now.

Conference: Ohio Valley Conference. The winner of this conference has a better shot of making it to the BCS title game than the ACC conference winner.


Strengths: Don't bother booing these guys as they run out of the tunnel on Saturday because they handle it surprisingly well.


Weaknesses: They are completely inept at running the triple-option wishbone offense, which is probably why they rely on a more balanced pro-style philosophy.


Player To Watch: Any of their defensive lineman. I'm sure one of them will register 3 sacks against Florida's offensive line.


Fun Fact: Jacksonville State is a school and they have a football team that has uniforms and everything.


Prediction: Pain....mostly for Florida fans.

great work by him as usual. Love the "Player to Watch"

I'll take the win. Solid. Hopefully we'll be healthy by next week.

I want to take F$U down.
