Tatgate sure made it easier to finally go from whiner to abstainer, most of the time (I break down every once in awhile, like last night, but largely stick to game broadcasts only)

I woke up at 4:30 last night and could not sleep so I tuned into ESPN to see what kind of crow they were willing to eat. The headline was ' dud day for sec'. Naturally they opened the segment with tcu's quotes about good football being played elsewhere (Paul Johnson's epic sec dig was 5 min earlier ).

They began the segment by laughing at all of the jealousy and hatred around college football and didn't address the media myth about the Mississippi's at all. Then when Joey Galloway made a surprisingly sharp point about them deserving every bit of praise for winning but having to,own the criticism for losing, Mark may dug into the "the sec wins when the chips are on the table" (ie NC). He ignored Joey's counter about that being the biggest stage ever for the ms teams, and in the end it boiled down to only mattering what flagbearer Bama does, which ironically is what Midwesterners have tried to argue for years.

Naturally I was an idiot for hoping to witness some crow eating. You just have to chuckle at the lengths of their Schtick and partnership.

Jwins, you ought to spend a bit of time on ESPNU. Mike Bellotti and Jason Sehorn consistently offer great insights and a good bit more objectivity than one encounters on the Mothership.

I think it's because ESPNU is geared toward serious fans, whereas SportsCenter and GameDay are geared to the ZOMG!!!! crowd.

Interesting I may have to check it out. Of course if things go well tonight, I'll be relishing in the tears and excuses from May.

Ugh, part of me thinks wisky should be able to run over the tiggles, but barry alzerez coaching them concerns me for some reason. Would hate to see auburn win, america uaualy loses whenever that happens.

Read that first line and thought you were speaking through the fog of an enormous hangover. :-) Happy new year and glad that wasn't the case.

Anderson isn't saying much, but perhaps Barry has been coaching them all along.

In the mean time: :oh:
