My 2 cents worth, and that, I am sure, will be the value placed on this, is that I hear the talk from July until January every year. Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, Arkansas, Mississippi State, etc., etc., etc. ad nauseum. The emphasis placed on these kids, many of whom will never receive a college degree unless they award one for mayhem and size/weight gain, is absurd. I would never send my kid to college simply for the sake of supporting American Maul Ball, er, excuse me, football. Frankly, real Futbal is the real deal. No need to hit each other, learn to dance (or attempt to), take money from college supporters, gain such immense weight that in later life you may suffer from all sorts of debilitating illnesses and injuries, take steroids, when what we prefer to call "soccer" has no need for any of that unless it's the dancing part. But whatever, just drop the stupid name calling and so-called "trash talking" when that merely shows the ignorance of the whole issue.

I got that, for clapping to this post? From 2007? OK.

JPW- He's only a junior and has much to prove but I like what I see so far. I think he will excel under Major Applewhite's offense. If not, next...

Plus, they are both FUNN to look at. C'mon we all know I love the QBs.

Good picking re South Carolina, bamabeachbum! Even though I wanted SC (one of my alma maters) to win, it made me 0-1 in the pick'em. ARGH!I'm further in jeopardy of losing the big prize at the end.

Minnie, I know you must be disappointed. Been there.

I think this was meant for the BATTLE ZONE. I assume so.

I just thought that SC was playing pretty good, and had been battle tested. Ole Miss has a good team, but had not been in a tight game this year. You better strap it up when you play in the SEC this year, anyone can beat you.
