because LSU is gonna whip everyone's rear this year!!!
This is NOT the humor section. Only plausible scenarios should be discussed! :D :D :D
 
MPR:
I thought we were just having a friendly conversation. :D Ironically, I was driving through Gainesville today on my way to Blue Grotto, and when I finished diving, the restaurant we ate at had ESPN U on one of the TV's and what was playing?? The 2006 Aub-Fla game.
Ironic.
It's only ironic if you were eating at Leo's or Fats. Only real Hogtonians will know both of those references. :D
 
I think.....
Auburn's liable to have a right good ball club this year :)
WAR EAGLE!

Les Miles "I think the SEC provides much stiffer competition."

Coach Miles, you are not paid to think, you're paid to coach football. Why don't you stick to what you know and talk with your players' helmets?

"It was Miles who came across dumber than Jeff Spicoli. Impugning UCLA and Cal, for one thing, is simply ignorant. Ignoring the fact that USC has trampled the last four SEC teams it has faced by a combined total of 119 points is worse."

The key to this entire debat is summerized in a couple paragraphs:

"The quality of life in the South is dependent upon good college football. Local economies, race relations and collective psychological health all would suffer without it. Sweet tea would not be as sweet. Fried chicken would not be as crispy. Country songs would be even sadder.
If SEC football were mediocre, the South might as well be back in Reconstruction.
On the West Coast, good college football is no more important to the commonweal than comfortable sandals and affordable microbrewed beer. It's a nice perk, but it falls far below vital.
At least 10 SEC schools are crazily committed to football success. In the Pac-10, USC might be it. A few others care, but they stop well short of obsession."

Passion is great, passion is commendable. Passion is not fact.
 
Perhaps they don't teach reading in the south. You should actually read the article.

Article summary:

SEC is just another conference.

The SEC is so passionate about football because they can't handle loosing. After all, there is nothing else to do in Tuscaloosa, Auburn, Gainesville, and the rest of the nice college towns in the south.
 
Those who only experience passion will never be able to comprehend obsession.

It is not the desire to have the very best athletes that we can muster on the gridiron: it's the overpowering drive to beat the living snot out of those presumptuous sissy-fied drama queens they call football teams west of the Mississippi and north of the Mason Dixon line. :D :D :D
