Congratulations! I didn't think they would do it, but I guess that's why I don't gamble.

So, does this put Mark Ingram in the fore running for the Heissman?

After the success that Alabama has had over the years and not ONE winner..?? Joe Nameth came from Alabama for crying out loud.

I haven't forgotten that I owe you that coffee.

What a heart-breaker that game was. I really thought we had it!!

I will pull for Alabama because...well, I'll pull for the West. But I think Tebow wants to go out with a bang and I think Florida will show up with all they can give.

I do have to give Alabama kudos. They have come a long way since Saint Nick came on the scene. Give Chizik another year to build his team and I think Auburn will be a contender next year - even without Mario Fanin.

We just didn't have any depth this year and our first string tired out too early in the season. We were are own worse enemy this year with too many penalties - that was a problem for UGA as well.

As we say in football: There's always next year!

I cheered and Jeered.. It was a close one..

Why should a team losing 5 games play in any bowl?

What will sell the most tickets now provide the bowl player teams!

Is it the amount of tickets sold or is it about the very best teams?

I know my vote.

It is about tickets sales. I also find it completely ridiculous that most bowls these days are so commercialized...ie: Tostitos bowl, Capital One bowl, etc. Even the Peach bowl is now called the "Chick-fil-A" bowl. The bowls that really matter, though, the ones that still carry prestige, are and will always be the Rose bowl and the Sugar bowl.

I see your point, when a team that has 5 loses (like Auburn) can get into a bowl game...it diminishes the prestige of bowl games in general. After all, the only "bowl" that matters to any Auburn fan is the Iron bowl and we let that one slip through our fingers.

Well, yeah it is about tickets, but also tailgating, sauce, beer, and yelling.
Can't do all of that unless you win em all.

Football in the SEC did not begin in 1990. Hate to break it to you.

You're on a roll right now for sure...

All that said, ROLL TIDE this Saturday!!

No, spyglass, football in the SEC did not begin in 1990 - but the SEC championship game did. Some conferences still do not play a championship game which seems to be some of the controversy surrounding the whole BS about the BCS. In fact, the oldest rivalry in the south - Auburn/Georgia - began in 1892 and was played at Piedmont Park.

College football in the South - there's nothing like it! In the south, more than in any other conference, on any given crisp Autumn Saturday any thing can happen. There's hope for the under dog and humility for the mighty.

Just a point here, I'm not a Gator fan, I was just pointing out to Bonker$ that he was wrong once again.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

In the last eight years GA and FL have both won two SEC titles. LSU three.

SEC National winners: FL 2 0f the last 5.

I don't know why GA can't win a national title since 1980. They sure cheat with the players they recruit and spend enough.

My point wasn't "WINNING" It was scape goats for the fans---the wrong ones.

In your blog you said ten years, are you changing your blog now. Fla. won in 2000, 2006, and 2008. I don't care why UGA can't win a title, and coaches go into the profession knowing that if they don't produce they're gone. Deal with it. So come on back and change your terms again.

I yam what I yam....Popeye

Does this mean you punt?

I yam what I yam....Popeye

Nothing to say?

I yam what I yam....Popeye

You ignored almost the whole point of the comment by worrying about who did "the most" I suppose the only important thing about UGA?

It is just a game! Not meant to provide an excuse to drunkenly tail-gate and eat horrid sauce only, while watching dumb 800 SATs pound one another. Our current day gladiators since boxing has died out.
Bring back the lions and tigers and bulls and Christians!

Or, two dribbles, mostly traveling, and a 12 foot swish! Most just like Tiger!

Why don't you stick to something you really know something about when you comment-----oops, by the way, just what in the hell do you REALLY know something about?

Around 2pm today, heard the first Sandhill Cranes heading S. this year. They usually show up here around Thanksgiving but not this year.

Their southbound migration in November and December, and then their return trip in late February, are some of the highlights of the season.

It took me a couple of years of living here to realize what I was hearing--their characteristic "trilling" call--and finally look up to swirling flocks of giant birds high overhead.

Usually they are pretty high as they come over. One year--for whatever reason--a group flew over our pond so low that I could hear their wings in the air. The sun was setting, and they glowed golden in its light. I'll never forget it.

I've happened to be out twice so far this year--once a few weeks ago--when I noticed them coming over. But you're right: seems like the flocks are fewer and farther between than usual.

Maybe the weather is affecting our ability to hear and see them? Most of the time when I notice them, it is one of those perfect, blue sky Fall days. We've had a goodly number of overcast and rainy days this season.

I didn't see any today, just heard them--I live 6.5 miles S. of Fayetteville and they were West of me. In yrs past, they have actually circled over my area (perhaps a lake about 200 yds away has something to do with that) until they gained some altitude and found new currents and then would head off South. Last yr, We saw some who stopped at Lake Horton, S. of Fayetteville, on their migration back north. Weather might prevent me from seeing them, but their inflight sounds will be obvious, regardless.

I lived in central Florida for many years where Sandhills are year-round residents (at least some of them). My father-in-law owned a ranch and there were always cranes in the fields. I went for a walk one foggy morning when visablilty was about 10 feet. There was a family of cranes that I could hear, but not see until I was almost on top of them. Their calls were so loud and so eerie in the fog, it sounded like I was in Jurassic Park. Really cool.

Usually when you hear them fly over you have to look a long time before you find them way up high. I'll have to keep looking for them in the next few weeks.
