Wherein I am a Poor Sport...
There are two types of collegiate football played in America, Neck.
1) Southeastern Conference Football, and
2) that weasily dandified transvestite version they play everywhere else. Most notably, apparently, there in your beloved Rust Belt.
As a diehard Bulldog fan since 1964 it does aggrieve me in many ways to toot that Gator horn. But we Southerners stick together. "Why are you fighting?" they asked us. "Because we live here," we replied. I will root for the SEC until God calls me home. We do that here. Would you root for Michigan in a Championship Game? I thought not. No local pride.
Tim Tebow? Local talent. Lives down the street. You are very lucky we didn't unleash him the entire game. But we're extracting his mojo one syringe at a time as part of the big Iraq Surge. Don't want to wear him out.
I feel your pain, Neck. My only regret is I didn't inflict it personally.
And hey: I love you man. As long as you're on bottom, of course.
.. fucking A....
Posted by: Eric at January 9, 2007 7:47 AMMuch as I hate Michigan, I would root for them in a game against Florida. You always root for your conference if your team is out, at least that's how I was raised.

That's the only time I can ever remembering rooting for the Gators. Those Big 10 boys looked like apatosauruses with buckets over their heads. Tebow faked the run, threw the dump off for the TD, and the OSU secondary began wetting their britches and cursing at each other. Beautiful.
Great call on 4th and 1, Tressel. Almost as good as your fruity sweater. Big 10 fag.
Posted by: rankin' rob at January 9, 2007 11:55 AMI agree. As much as it hurt to pull for the Gators, I did - because they represent the SEC. As much as I wish it had been my LSU Tigers laying a whoopin' on the Big 10, I was happy it was another SEC team that did it. And it was by the same score the Tigers beat the lowly Gold Domers. As James Carville said before the Sugar Bowl last week, "It's the defense, stupid!"
Posted by: Dash at January 9, 2007 1:44 PMLike they say... you can fight amongst yourselves in your own family, just don't let an outsider come in and try to start a fight with one of the members. *grin*
I wish it had been a better game. As it was, I was bored by the second half and only tuned in occasionally to check the score.
Posted by: Teresa at January 9, 2007 2:15 PMYeah, Gator's won last night. Last night, they were without doubt the better team. No disputin' that whatsoever.
But if I'm supposed to bow down and suck it 'cause the SEC is all that, somebody 'splain to me just what happened to rKansas(SEC Runner up, no?) vs Wisconsin(finished 3rd in Big ten)? Oh, and then there's that little matter that went on between Tennessee and ... of all teams, Penn State... Freakin' the Nittany Lions beat them with good ol Coke bottle Joe Pa' up in the danged press box.
Yes, LSU punked the domer's, but really, who hasn't this year.
... bite it, Redneck.... stop crowing......
.. bring OSU down here and watch them get fucked....
... otherwise, just wait until next year.......
There will be but one legitimate conference in all of college football, that being the SEC. Big 10, PAC 10, Big 12, whatever. Big deal. Big suck, sez me.
Lookit Vandy. Perennial losers. Never a contender for any champeenships. They could probably buy their way into some two bit midwestern conference and rule, but they stick it out in the SEC. Why? Because one day, they might fuck up and get a class of lawyers, doctors, blue bloods, and golf sweater wearers that can actually play football and win a championship in the greatest conference in the NCAA.
It hurt bad.....REAL bad to root for Florida, but they exposed Ohio State and the Big 10 for the perpetual fraud they are.
If college football had a tournament like the basketball folks do (take yer conference champs and round robin them) the final four would be SEC teams year after year after year, 'cept maybe that odd year coke and hooker primed Miami and USC snuck in.
Look up 'Neck. Paul Bear Bryant is giving you the finger from heaven.
... damn, Bitterman, that fucking rocked..... Bryant and all....
Posted by: Eric at January 10, 2007 10:29 PMJesus. I was just having sport. Bitterman, well, that's hard core!
Posted by: Velociman at January 10, 2007 10:52 PMOh, I'm just farting around as well. Having fun, you know. Nothing personal with the Redneck whatsoever.
Having said that, I must reiterate the fact that the Big 10 and the other various cornfed, muscle conferences are opaque shams. There is and always shall be but one legitimate conference in the whole of college football, that being the SEC, of course.
Hotty toddy, y'all....
Posted by: bitterman at January 11, 2007 7:47 AMThe ghost of the Southwest Conference wants to administer a wedgie to Bitterman...
Posted by: El Capitan at January 11, 2007 1:16 PMDamnit 'Neck. You have to give to them. I mean, afterall, it's just one game...in just one sport, right?
I mean, it's not like the Gators don't suck at every other sport, right?
Wait a minute....
Oh.

Nevermind.
Posted by: jmflynny at January 11, 2007 10:29 PMwatching tennessee bumble their way to a national championship a few years back was infinitely more exciting than any kansas or michigan/michigan state game i ever did see. mayhaps that's because in the SEC, even Auburn can whoop ass. fuck lee corso! Go Vols, you sad sacks.
