SEC championship game was in progress

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Georgia Dome, site of the SEC Championship game between Alabama and Florida.

I am not an officially licensed blogger, so I'll just have to talk with you in the comments section.

Alabama won, 32-13.

Fearless Freep said...: After nearly five years, Mike Shula finally has his revenge on Tim Tebow.; 6:35 PM
riskman108 said...: Jay G I hope you at least take the Auburn game into how you pick...; 6:37 PM
Miller said...: I think I just threw up a little in my mouth...; 6:38 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I HATE to see bama win, but I LOVE to see UF lose; 6:38 PM
Fearless Freep said...: THIS time the cheer is completely justified.

Classless, of course, but justified.; 6:40 PM
Miller said...: Classy and UAT don't belong in the same sentence...; 6:43 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I don't think Tebow is all that happy right now.; 6:43 PM
michael said...: You could sure feel the disappointment of Verne and Gary that 4th quarter, couldn't you? I'm with ya, guys.; 6:43 PM
mytommyd said...: I'm so unsure of how to feel about this game. I HATE Alabama, but it's great fun to watch the media darling Tim Tebow get his butt kicked. But I still hate bama; 6:43 PM
michael said...: So how many more years will it take before Saban looks comfortable in front of the camera? Has no one told him that looking into the camera during an interview makes him look like a crazy?; 6:44 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH I HATE TEBOW; 6:47 PM
mytommyd said...: Does this mean we're that much better because we played Alabama closer?

I still hate Alabama. congrats to FSJ, but I still don't like his team, that's still undefeated.; 6:48 PM
mytommyd said...: Guess this means Florida didn't "Finish". So he comes back for a 5th year. Which would be fine, because Urban won't be coaching there next year anyway.; 6:49 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: LaDarius Owens Sayz mark my words Feb.4 is the day the Tide Turns

his status...okay whatever you say; 7:01 PM
Miller said...: jhag.... what?; 7:03 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: that was his status on facebook, i guess he is referring to national signing day; 7:04 PM
FSJ said...: One more to go.....

Auburn and Tennessee were the two best teams we played this year...

:-); 7:07 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Did the ACC Championship game (not the one featuring UGA vs USC) just start with a fair caught kickoff? That conference is so bogus.; 7:09 PM
Unknown said...: Congrats FSJ. With Elroy playing better, you appear to have a pretty complete team. I am assuming you play the Texicans. It should be very entertaining.; 7:10 PM
Miller said...: How are all these teams able to get their kickoffs into the endzone and get touchbacks, but our kicker has trouble keeping it in bounds and getting it to the 10?; 7:14 PM
Miller said...: Congrats, FSJ....; 7:15 PM
Unknown said...: Helium filled footballs?; 7:15 PM
Miller said...: Toby Gerhardt for Heisman!!; 7:16 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: I <3 TOBY!

CJ Spiller looks good tonight already.; 7:18 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: What is the matter with y'all? I hate Bama even more now! I am sick to my stomach and am definitely a Texas fan! I am not an SEC fan especially with Bama representin!; 7:22 PM
Jet said...: In Boom I trust.; 7:23 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: My hate runs deep........; 7:24 PM
Seanzie said...: So Jhag, you're saying the tide won't turn?; 7:24 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Think TCU is better than 2008 Utah ? I DO! Go Horned Frogs! Beat Bama.; 7:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: TCU is #1, and they'll prove it if given the opportunity. I will be really disgusted if Cincinnati jumps the mighty Horned Frogs in the final BCS poll.

GO HORNED FROGS!!!; 7:33 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: oh, congrats FSJ. I still hate your school. More than you could ever imagine.; 7:34 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: white field already at UCONN and the snow is coming down hard.; 7:35 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Colt McCoy has thrown 2 picks already....Spiller and Toby are all we have left!; 7:37 PM
Miller said...: McCoy just lost the Heisman with his 2nd INT of the game... already.

Nebraska wins this game if this keeps up.; 7:38 PM
Norm said...: Well...dang.

Hard to keep up with the HABOTN when I have a soon to be 3 y/o boy to mess with. That was the best I've seen that evil team look all year. Every other game I've seen any part of their play, they've looked completely beatable (with the exception of UTC). Not tonight.; 7:38 PM
Seanzie said...: So what if they win 13, I've heard some Bammers claim 17...the law of diminishing returns is definitely in play here.; 7:42 PM
Seanzie said...: And Jay G, vote for whomever you think is most deserving of the Heisman, not that you need me to tell you but I felt like someone should be a voice of reason.; 7:43 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Not only is Mark Ingram not the best player in the WHOLE COUNTRY, he isn't even the best RB in the SEC. I will vomit if he wins the Heisman. Seriously.; 7:44 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: No one in their right mind would vote for Ingram over Anthony Dixon for Heisman.; 7:48 PM
Seanzie said...: No, I agree with you THT, but they don't let me vote.; 7:48 PM
FSJ said...: If you are looking for the best player in the country...why not Rolando McClain. Name one better..

Based on tonight...Ingram has a strong chance to win the Heisman, IMO.

It was McCoy's to lose.; 7:53 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: If Colt doesnt step up his game Ingrams got the trophy; 7:55 PM
Seanzie said...: No love for Gerhart? Is it because he's white?; 7:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: He ain't no Hugh Green.; 7:56 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: "He" referring to McClain, not Toby; 7:57 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Ndonkeykong Suh is better than McClain.; 7:57 PM
Seanzie said...: That DT for Nebraska ain't bad...Eric Berry's pretty good. Lot's of great players on defense this year. McClain is good, but he's just one of many.; 7:58 PM
Seanzie said...: See, PF and I are on the same page.; 7:58 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: FSU is going after Eddie Gran hard; 7:59 PM
mytommyd said...: He's the best running back, on the now #1 team in the country, which means he's the best player in the country to some folks. According to the NCAA stats he's far from being the best RB in the country; 8:01 PM
Seanzie said...: Maybe it's because they realize LK is kind of on the ridiculous side.; 8:01 PM
Seanzie said...: Re: Gran and Wilson.; 8:02 PM
mytommyd said...: "Ndonkeykong".

Now that's funny; 8:02 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Toby would lower his shouler and run smack over McClain.; 8:02 PM
FSJ said...: But McClain is the best player on the best defense in the country..

That's more than just another defensive player, IMO.

It's ridiculous the way the Heisman discriminates against defensive players.; 8:03 PM
mytommyd said...: In what capacity is FSU going after gran, jhag?; 8:03 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: You're absolutely right, PF. I was amazed at how good Toby was when I finally saw him play. It would be like William Andrews vs Ronnie Lott all over again.; 8:04 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: best defense?

anyway, Cody's the best player on that defense.; 8:05 PM
mytommyd said...: Charles Woodson is the only defensive guy that I saw on the list. And I think alot of that had to do with his special teams play.; 8:06 PM
Seanzie said...: The Real UT is in trouble.; 8:07 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: They have already offered him a contract

http://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/messagetopic.asp?p=16728759; 8:08 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Ndonkeykong might have just knocked Colt out of the game.; 8:09 PM
Seanzie said...: Boom!; 8:09 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: Spiller in for his second of the evening...he's looking really good.; 8:11 PM
Craig Miller said...: Saban doing an interview on the field looks like he has a warm dump in his pants; 8:11 PM
Unknown said...: Who would have thunk Washington would pound Cal like they own them?; 8:13 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: ...and Spiller's not 100%.

CJ or Toby!!!; 8:13 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: SI headline read "Caddie Williams backs embattled Tiger", and I was confused why Cadillac would have anything to say about Tiger.

Apparently tiger's caddie's name is William, it makes more sense now that I know that.; 8:13 PM
Unknown said...: I think Caddie is probably backing a paycheck.; 8:15 PM
Unknown said...: A warning to all Auburn fans. Take a close look at those Clemson jerseys. Never let that happen to my beloved tigers.; 8:17 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: best player on the best defense doesn't make someone the best player, anyway. You've got to commit more than one logical fallacy to come up with that conclusion.; 8:18 PM
mytommyd said...: Besides I thought Arenas was the best defensive guy on your team FSJ :); 8:20 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: those clemson jerseys are bad, but their all purple is worse...In a better orange, and with white pants, I don't think they're too bad.; 8:20 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Spiders up 21-14 on Happy Appy late in 3rd qtr and with 1st and goal.; 8:24 PM
Miller said...: What's wrong with those jerseys, steve?; 8:25 PM
Miller said...: other than the purple...; 8:25 PM
Unknown said...: McClain to me is a great player. He has great size and speed for a linebacker. He reminds me of some of the monsters we had under Dye.; 8:26 PM
Unknown said...: D. Miller, other than being hideously ugly, they are great.; 8:26 PM
Miller said...: Ingram is not the best RB on his own team, much less the best in the country...
Richardson is a better RB than Ingram...; 8:26 PM
Miller said...: Colin Peek is the best offensive player on UAT...; 8:27 PM
Unknown said...: The great pumpkin comes to mind. Perhaps they would be better with white pants, but I just couldn't stomach Auburn looking like that.; 8:27 PM
Miller said...: white pants, or navy pants would look much better...; 8:28 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wow, I was only off on the Cal-Wash game by about 12 touchdowns.; 8:29 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: that orange has a day-glo look to it, too.; 8:29 PM
mytommyd said...: Cal I guess just picks and chooses when to show up for games, huh? 42-10 to the Huskies?!? Maybe Sarkesian has them going in the right direction now.; 8:30 PM
Seanzie said...: Clempzon...the Diet Coke of Tigers.; 8:32 PM
mytommyd said...: Texas has some scoring to do so I can get that pick right.; 8:33 PM
Peter Frankenschmidt said...: That's 2 fair-caught kickoffs now. When was the last time you saw that?...and they took a knee after this one. If you're gonna take a knee, why not at least make an attempt at running one back?; 8:35 PM
mytommyd said...: Watching the seccg they kept flashing a thing at the bottom about ND possibly naming a coach this weekend. Is that really possible. Don't they also have to interview Turner Gill to avoid being declared racist?; 8:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: How uncomfortable was Verne Lundquists' comments about Ingram's dad and how he had to be smiling in prison watching his son?; 8:35 PM
Miller said...: Supposedly, there is a possibility of ND naming their coach tomorrow...; 8:37 PM
Seanzie said...: I grew up watching Ingram the Elder shagging balls from Dan The Man Marino. Good times.; 8:38 PM
tigerfan44 said...: mytommyd,

With so many openings I figured someone would already snatched him up. I mean it is Turner Gill. I think Charles Barkley's comments may have hurt Turner more than they helped.; 8:48 PM
mytommyd said...: Well they were also mentioning Kansas interviewing Gill. It just bugs me that Auburn got all that flack last year.

Just thought about something. Al Groh to ND?; 8:52 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: John Saunders and Gaytor boy are idiots. Why are morons allowed to try to influence the Heisman vote on tv like that?; 8:52 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: the same Al Groh that was at UVA!?!?!?!; 8:53 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Did anyone watch the ACC half time scholarship contest thingy. I'm not sure I've ever seen a worse throwing motion than the guy from GT, and the guy who won's voice cracked... it was sad all the way around.; 8:54 PM
mytommyd said...: Yeah jhag, that Al Groh. I mean he's an okay coach and he's used to getting players that have to deal with ertain "educational requirements".; 8:55 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: I saw it, that dudes voice cracked so bad hahahah; 8:55 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: App State just took a lead on Richmond with 4:27 to go, but ASU must kick off from 15 yard line. Who got the unsportsmanlike penalty?

The center.; 8:59 PM
Unknown said...: As a spokesman, Charles Barkley is a great basketball player. He should stick to basketball.; 9:06 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: wow. App State forces 3 and out, then Spider steals the ball from punt returner and runs it in from 10 yd line for TD. Richmond up 3. It should have been blown dead for forward progress. On top of that, he spiked the ball in the end zone... no flag.; 9:07 PM

CHB said...: I need some good news about Auburn. Feeling a little depressd after that SECCG. Recruiting? Something negative about another program? Something!; 9:17 PM
Seanzie said...: Auburn is still Auburn. That is news enough for me.; 9:18 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: TOUCHDOWN APP STATE!!!! with 10 seconds to play!!! GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!; 9:19 PM
CHB said...: Has Lebo been fired yet? Question for anyone...With the new arena (80+mil$) will they spend money to get a name? In my opinion you don't spend that kind of money unless you are going to be committed to winning.; 9:19 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: There is MR TATE!

Nebraska is ballin but Texas already has enough points to win...

How bout UK bball, John Wall is sensational; 9:20 PM

Richmond 31; 9:23 PM

I hate Duke!; 9:24 PM
Anonymous said...: I figure the best way to have both UAT and UF lose was by having FL lose today, and UAT lose to TX.

That may not work out as I had hoped the way it looks.; 9:25 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: UA-T has a worse record against TX in bowls than they do against AU in T'loser.

I fear the stupid computers might enable Cincinnati to jump TCU in the BCS. I really need the people voters to show disdain for Cincinnati's miserable defense the past 3 weeks.; 9:29 PM
Anonymous said...: GT Pick!; 9:31 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I used to think Texas would beat Bama... I don't anymore.

Why do you put in a new QB on the 2 yard line, let him attempt one throw, then pull him?; 9:31 PM
Unknown said...: I think I would like to see Boise State in the BCSNCG, but that doesn't seem likely to happen. Their bowl game against Oklahoma was one of the best college football games I have ever seen.; 9:34 PM
Unknown said...: So, your last name is Elroy. How do you improve that? You add Muck to the start of it.; 9:35 PM
Miller said...: Turner Gill leading candidate for Kansas job?; 9:47 PM

I think the series is now 21-11.; 9:51 PM
