Thanks. I love college football and you will not believe the flak I took as a Southerner back in 60's and 70's. I remember being told we didn't play anyone; well, guess what in the 70's I was living in Dayton, Ohio, just up the road from Ohio State, and LSU actuall played and beat the hell out of WISCONSIN two consecutive years. Suddenly, it was oh, but Wisconsin is not too good this year. Give me a freaken break, they were in the Big 10, right. I also made the trip from Dayton to South Bend in 1971 when Lsu played ND. I actually sat in the ND student section with a friends student brother. You can imagine the crap we heard before the game about how they would whip the Southern bumbs. Well, they did, ND won 3-0 with help from a rediculous pass interference call in 4th quarter leading to winning ND FG. Have a great year. I'm thinking most Lsu fans are ready to forget football and basketball for awhile and start watching a little Tiger baseball.

They just can't face the fact that they have lost two consecutive NC games to an SEC team. Plus SEC went 3-0 vs Big 12 in bowls..

I have been around for many years and I've always tried to be fair and reasonable to other institutions, including other conferences, etc. I have lived and worked all over this great country and around the world, and back in the '60 it was amazing how much disrespect any team from south of the MD got; I knew and worked with guys from many schools and anytime the subject of football came up the Lsu and The SEC were rediculed for not playing anyone.... like the mighty Big 10.. Well, my point now is that NC were ALWAYS about AP and UPI MNC, and NONE of these rediculous off the wall polls ever meant anything. One could look in any record book and that's the way it was and now everyone wants to change the rules. Heck, even Arkansas claiming a NC in 1964 is BS. I challange anyone to look in the records for NC and they will not find Arkansas or OLe MIss.

Overall I think they've been pretty good and haven't seen much "in your face" to the rest of the SEC. But I do have one question before giving a final score; Are Bama fans admiting that this is NC #8 as reported by ESPN and all reasonable sources, or do they insist on this being #13. I'm very cool with any Bama fan who expresses pride in another NC and wants to blow their horn a little for NC #8 instead of the rediculous #13 NC. If Bama insists on 13 that will be another display of arrogance and telling the rest of the SEC that Bama thinks they are all stupid....

You are right on, my friend; it is truly a nauseating thing to see how they worship themselves and want everyone to believe that they are SEC football. We all know that the "A" on thier logo stands for arrogance. Good luck if you ever go there for a road game; their outpouring of personal insults to visiting fans is never ending.

Didn't you know that the "A" in their logo stands for arrogance. And believe me that is not confined to their younger fans. That has been the gripe of most SEC fans for many years; they think they are the SEC and tend to look down their noses at the rest of the teams in this great conference. It will be very difficult to pull for those arrogant asswholes in the NCG

Agree with you. Those arrogant assholes can't just enjoy their championship without disrespecting the other sec member schools. Everyone knows they have won the most championships over the years, and that is certainly a good thing for them and something to be proud of. But that does not take away from the contributions and traditions of the other members. The gumps are so full of themselves it just makes one want to puke... on them no less. I don't pull against them in their non conference games, but when someone like UTAH kicks their arse I certainly don't feel sorry for them.

Being proud is expected and certainly justified. Just please don't be your normal arrogance assholes with noses in the air at the rest of the SEC. Most bama fans believe that they are the SEC and refuse to give credit to any of the other proud institutions with great football traditions. We have both obnoxious and arrogance in the SEC and I will take obnoxious over arrogance any day.

I think he missed at least a couple of more reasons, like in 1960 when an unranked 4 win LSU tied #2 olemiss to wreck another rebel season, and 1961 when LSU beat #1 olemiss to do it again. But hey, olemiss is famous for something like the campus riots back in the early 60's. And tomorrow they will have white sheeted visitors to remind them of that. What an awhole the guy that wrote that mindless article must be.

None of you have the slighest clue of what the hell is going on, so why don't all of you just shut up and quit spreading rumors.
