Kentucky was the better team than Florida State going into the Music City Bowl. It was UK - the better team - who almost gave the game away. The opposite applies for the Florida and Michigan game. |

Gift horse comes to mind, and I'm just thankful our seniors (and Mendenhall) were able to have a January football experience for their last year in orange and blue. For what it's worth, I think Mizzou should have been in over KU too. |
GOOOOOOOOOOO DAWGS!!!!!
Whew!!
Hubby says at half-time, it's over. I said I don't think so, you never know if Hawaii will score and/or UGA will do something stupid. I did feel sorry for Colt B...just a little, lol. (and OTW, lol.) But hey, sUGAr Bowl is our's...for this year! |

That was a great game for WVU. If I didn't know about them before the 2006 Sugar Bow, I sure learned about them after they surprised my Dawgs. Congrats to the Mountaineers! BTW, I found this "beating a dead horse" but on point blog about the 2008 BCS games: http://thequad.blogs.nytimes.com/200...ns-are-robbed/. |

Kevin, Kevin...
There was even a lawsuit (filed by our evil friends in Columbus) over the use of "Ohio" which was settled out of court. "Ohio" is in Athens. "Ohio State" is in Columbus. West Virginia, which is South and East of both was amazing against that other "OU" last night! Amazing. A great game. |

As far as OU goes, I could care less about Ohio University. When you're talking about football and OU, Ohio University is next to irrelevant. |

Fun article in the Detroit Free Press today...
DREW SHARP: Which is worse: SEC football or Ohio State football? January 4, 2008 BY DREW SHARP FREE PRESS COLUMNIST It's a tough choice for the true Michigan man or woman. Do they don sacrilegious robes and support regional nemesis Ohio State in the BCS title game Monday night at the Louisiana Superdome? Or do they oppose The Vested One in a battle against the Big Ten's national enemy -- the Southeastern Conference? http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...OL08/801040321 Also from the article: The Big Ten is 14-12 against the Southeastern Conference in bowls since the advent of the Bowl Championship Series in 1998. |

The Big 10 followers stick together. I have numerous co-workers who graduated from "the school up north". W we root for U of M during bowl games, and they root for The Nuts at the same time. I pulled for Perdue, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Penn State. I wouldn't have thought otherwise. We respect each other's programs and love their coaches. Anyone who has seen my numerous posts on Joe Pa and Mr. Carr will attest to that. Also, Ron Zook, was born about 10 miles away from my home town. For what it's worth, Les Miles is from Elyria, Ohio (about 10 miles from my current home) and Urban Meyer is from Ashtabula (about 1 hour from me). They are all products of Ohio Football. Ohio, the cradle of coaches! |

As for Ohio, football isn't what I was talking about. Ohio State tried to copyright (or maybe service mark) the word "Ohio" a few years ago. As I said, the suit was settled out of court with Ohio University retaining the use of the word. |

Something in "Big Game Bob's" bowl game preparation has to change. Oklahoma hasn't won a bowl game since the '04 Holiday Bowl. |

We're sad at his departure because he's taken the team where it's never been before. He's also done wonders to turn the program around. I really don't think it was about the money. The whole state appreciates him, so I don't understand why he couldn't get any respect from UH Administration. Coach Jones and Colt Brennan had to pull teeth just to get soap for the team showers. :mad: And have you SEEN our practice fields? Next thing on UH's to-do list: Get rid of the Athletic Director. |
I wish Coach Jones well (they don't play UGA, lol).
Hopefully, UH will get its act together and build better facilities. L |

Yay Georgia ended up number 2 in the AP poll. Good day for the SEC

^^^ Excellent day.
Congratulations to LSU! Well-played game. |
Final Conference Bowl Standings
Southeastern: 7-2 (77.78%) Pacific Ten: 4-2 (66.67%) Big Twelve: 5-3 (62.50%) Big East: 3-2 (60.00%) Big Ten: 3-5 (37.50%) Atlantic Coast: 2-6 (25.00%) |
Nope I was at work all day; no time for GC. Plus work blocks out sites like GC. No sulking; no reason to. Having an 11-2 record and beating Michigan is a great season. Sure the better team won last night, I can say that. I'm not sulking because even though we lost, we had a great "rebuilding" season. Go Bucks!!! Oh and congrats to LSU.

I'm loving the renewed talks about the playoff or the plus 1 game. All conferences except for the Pac-10 and Big-10 are pretty much in favor. Hmmmm, I wonder why. They would rather keep their "precious" Rose Bowl tradition in tact than actually have a decent/meaningful/necessary system of determining a national champion. I really liked whoever said in the article I read on ESPN that if the Pac-10 and Big-10 refuse.......they can just be left out of the equation come post season time.

SEC Football Post-Season Notebook
LSU's 2007 BCS National Championship is the Southeastern Conference's fourth in the 10 years of the BCS. Tennessee won the BCS National Championship in 1998, LSU in 2003 and Florida in 2006. The SEC is the first conference to win back-to-back BCS titles. The SEC is 11-4 all-time in BCS bowl games. The SEC has won four BCS bowl games in the last two seasons. The SEC's seven bowl wins this season is an all-time high for any conference. SEC had six last season (previous high). The SEC's 7-2 bowl record this season is first among the automatic qualifying BCS conferences (.778 percent) and second overall (Mountain West - 4-1, .800 percent) this season. This season, the SEC posted a 47-10 record against non-conference foes (.825 percent), which is the highest percentage of all FBS conferences. 47 wins ties an SEC high all-time (last season, had 47). The SEC now has 184 bowl wins in its history, which is tops in FBS. The SEC's bowl win percentage of 52.8 (184-164-13) is percentage points ahead of the ACC's 143-128-5 percentage of 52.7 for tops among FBS conferences. Records are using 2007 conference alignments. |
