Nicely done everyone. I haven't read everything yet, but from what little I have seen so far it looks great.

About the injury update, it's good to see that both teams should be coming into the game with relatively healthy squads. I haven't kept up to date with the injury status of LSU's players, but the last I heard was that Flynn didn't look good for the title game. Good to see that he'll be there.

Just heard a quote from ESPN that I found oddly-worded.

"The Buckeyes have had to deal with unseasonably cold weather in New Orleans.."

We're used to that! I doubt it's a big deal for our guys. :tongue2:

I heard that too. Is it 50 there? Or only 60?

Out of curiosity, where does UF stack up on that list? The enormous difference in your fanbase vs theirs (online at least) has me wondering...

I'm interested as well. I don't have a very good feeling about SEC fans because of our interaction with them (and Alabama to be honest)

I am not sure what it is down there now but Florida I know was looking at 30's and 20's.

Talk to somebody in Atlanta two days ago and it was 16.

I think it's close to freezing in NO.

Either way, they made it sound like we'd never experienced cold weather. :tongue2:

That was a bogus report. LSU's Info director, Miles, and Flynn all said he was good to go, and would have been good to go a week or so after the SEC CG if the game had been then. By all accounts, he should be just fine.

I think the problem is that your guys didn't pack for Ohio type weather. Someone on here posted some quotes from some of y'all players complaining that all they had was T-Shirts and Jeans, while the temps were in the 20's.

DFP: Which is worse for Michigan, SEC football or Ohio State football

DREW SHARP: Which is worse for Michigan, SEC football or Ohio State football?

January 4, 2008

BY DREW SHARP

It's a tough choice for the true Michigan man or woman.

Do they don sacrilegious robes and support regional nemesis Ohio State in the BCS title game Monday night at the Louisiana Superdome? Or do they oppose The Vested One in a battle against the Big Ten's national enemy -- the Southeastern Conference?


That's like asking whether you prefer the arsenic in your drink or in your food.

But college football, at its essence, is like politics. Everything's local. And it's that parochialism that likely will steer Michigan fans into the Buckeyes' corner -- with an airsick bag at the ready as a precaution.

There's more than a casual interest in the game for the impassioned Michigan faithful. Should the Buckeyes win, giving Jim Tressel his second national championship in the past six years, it would further underscore how the Wolverines have underachieved during the BCS's 10-year history. Should LSU win, the image of Les Miles riding off the field on the shoulders of his players would remind everyone that the former Michigan assistant might have been Lloyd Carr's successor if he wasn't playing for the national championship.

But Michigan fans probably will side with the Buckeyes because the game is less about the teams and more about the conferences.

The Big Ten is 14-12 against the Southeastern Conference in bowls since the advent of the Bowl Championship Series in 1998. It's an admirable accomplishment and certainly factors into the larger equation of national preeminence.

I know I was pulling HARD for UM against Floiduuuuh. I was throwing stuff all over the room when Hart fumbled on the goal line! I came off the couch when they won. I ALWAYS pull for the Big Ten in bowl games.

On a side note, I was listening to the Mike and Mike show on ESPN radio this morning and Mike Greenburg and Mel Kiper were talking some college football. Some interesting things I heard from Kiper. One was he thinks that USC and OSU are the 2 best teams in college football. If those 2 were playing on Monday, Kiper called it a toss-up. He also said that OSU should win Monday. Says that LSU is not as strong as everyone believes, and that there are several mis-matches that he thinks OSU will take advantage of. Then Sean Salisbury says he also believes OSU will win.

I'm starting to see/hear more and more people picking OSU in this one.

As far as pulling for your conference, I'm not a blind supporter of the SEC. I only pull for certain teams. Examples:
FUCK both schools in Alabama! I don't give a shit who they're playing. Every year for the Iron Bowl, I root for an eathquake.
I did pull for Florida the last couple of years, but not always.
I like UGA, and usually pull for them when not playing us.
Don't much give a shit one way or another what happens to the rest of the league.
I really hate Ole Piss as well, but don't have to worry about them in a Bowl game. :lol:
