I need to google him or even worse.....they going to be too lazy to google and just vote on the school they came from instead of the actual player and what they did in college football.

That's usually how I trash talk to my UGA friends. They weren't even alive the last time UGA dominated college football. But they will sure as heck claim that era like their own because they have nothing else to fall back on. It's a what have you done for me lately world.

McFadden, Tebus, and Ingram have all been cover athletes during this run.

Their resume was better ? What are you watching ? It was sad what happened I understand that but , how much time did the football players spend around womens basketball coach's ?

I think the SEC "honors itself" enough as it is.

That's All-Big XII defensive end Jamie Blatnick on the right. He had done a summer internship with the women's basketball strength and conditioning staff before the season, but ended up getting really attached to everyone in the program. Coach Budke liked him so much he gave him a spot on the bench for the season. Blatnick was obviously the closest to him, but with him there, a lot of players would drop by and ended up getting to know Budke a lot closer than they would have otherwise.

And look, I'm not going to use the death of 4 people as an excuse to lose a football game. I find that very disrespectful to them. I just wanted to point out that there was a connection between football and the women's basketball program.

As far as the resumes are concerned, I haven't looked at this after the final polls, but after the last week of the season:

Wins over Top 25 teams:
OSU - 5 Ala - 2

Wins over Top 50 teams:
OSU - 7 Ala - 5

Wins over FBS Teams w/ winning records:
OSU - 6 Ala - 3

Finish in conference:
OSU - Big XII Champs Ala - 2nd in West Division

Alabama had a great team this year and they made the most of their opportunity. It's just frustrating that the BCS preaches "body of work," but then suddenly it comes down to just one game. In short, OSU's argument was based on who we beat, Alabama's argument was based on who they lost to. But, no excuses, we lost a game we shouldn't have. Simple as that. We still had a great season, had a fantastic finish against a really impressive Stanford team, and have the opportunity to keep the momentum going this season. Life goes on.

They had an all conference D-end ? Dont that say enough about the defense thats played in the Big 12 ? Anyway , this is not about Alabama , its about the SEC as a whole .

Went ahead and fixed your post for you. You're welcome.

I seriously don't even know why I bother with these people anymore. Even when you try to credit them and be civil, they feel the need to try to back-hand you in some way.
