more Football tongue lashing than you can throw a stick at

Have you heard that Auburn has adopted a 17th mascot for themselves?:funn:

Sorry, they will have to stick to 16 mascots. Yoda backed out of being casted as Tuberville

A couple of UT fans got riled up at the ribbing the Vols were getting. They should'nt get too upset. UT has a fine tradition and they should be proud Even their orange color has a rich history. It is said in UT lore that the orange was selected because you could wear it to the game on Saturday, wear it hunting on Sunday and wear it picking up trash on the side of the road the rest of the week.

No comment on that. One of my husband's best friends and former boss is a UT grad, and we have funn and civilized rivalry banter with him.

But the orange hits home. One day I dressed out in all orange the day before a big UF game. Daughter made me change clothes because she said I looked like a prison escapee.

Now that you bring this up, I always wondered why Auburn is both the War Eagles and the Tigers. But then Alabama is the Crimson Tide with an elephant mascot.


Please don't try to get the Aubbies to explain it. It is always a rambling speech on how they are really the Plainsmen, officially the Tigers, only yell War Eagle and had a goat mascot at one time too. Just accept it as the nonsense that it is.;-) In contrast, Alabama actually can answer the question of mascot dicotomy in two to three sentences, and it makes sense.

Oh 30gAy you would love it. They all wear tight pants. Most of the time the quaterback plays "under center" instead of shotgun, (that's nice hand placement for you), and they even have tight ends. Someone is always slapping someone elses butt. What more can you ask for??

Section 6/paragraph 4/line3 in the QB handbook states: "No cupping!" It just after the section on the hazards of a hangnail and before the commentary on copeing with center flatuence.

Women who are not born in to football, as they are in the south, usually pick a team with the cutest coach, QB, or mascot, or the best uniform colors. You can do better than that.

In the SEC (the nation's best conference) you have 6 teams out of 12 that have a legitimate shot at winning the conference championship year in and year out - Alabama, Auburn, and Louisiana State in the western division; and Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee from the eastern division. Might as well start with one of these because it would be no fun picking one of the other 6.

In the west, LSU has been very strong recently, along with Auburn. Alabama is clawing it's way back up after being down for many years and in trouble with the NCAA for rules violations. LSU fans are the craziest and can cook up a storm. While the food in Baton Rouge is awesome, most unbiased fans will tell you that Auburn is the 2nd best place in the league to spend a Saturday afternoon. Although, Bama is reported by the fairer sex to have the cutest coach, beauty is fleeting and true beauty in the SEC comes from fielding a great team.

In the east Florida is also rising again after a few down years and UGA has had recent success although they have lost 15 of the last 17 to UF. Florida is the defending national champion in basketball so you'd be all set for bball season as they return their top 6 players. The Swamp in Gainesville is the best place to see a football game and acknowledged by media and coaches as the toughest place for visitors to win. Tennessee? Well, Tennessee fans are embarrassed or embarrassing.

Good grief, I'm gonna wait and try to understand this later (like around cocktail hour). It appears that because I like Tom Petty, I should pick the Gators as my team. Now I need to figure out WHY that is...

Maybe it was a good thing the SEC thread was locked, or else something like this might happen

Tom's the kicker, along with many other fine things in Gainesville, Florida.
