bah humbug!! (i was rooting for LSU!!)
can you believe only one stinking touchdown in the whole game!? LSU looked kindof terrible!

It's a sad day in tiger town. Not a football fan, but the mood around town was palpable. At least fans still have the Saints in the running.

Poor ole Faron, he doesn't know what it's like to be born in the Sec.

Lots of hootin' and hollerin' here, well, between Dad and I, a little bit anyway. Dh had gone to bed and told us to keep it down.
Dad and Mom were both Auburn grads, so there was a touch of scorn, but at least it's still 'bama.

My family was and is from Anniston, I was born in Huntsville, though now we live in SC, and my brother went to U of South Carolina, and dh and I live in enemy territory, Clemson.

But I'm still much more a Tebow fan :-)
I just love him.

Beez -

We have several teams we root for. My brother went to Florida, and DH is from Arkansas. A stepbrother went to FSU and my dad to Purdue (although that last one doesn't matter much in football). So we pretty much just root for SEC, unless it's Bama's opposition, or Spurrier's team(!)

of course my own alma mater . . . Mizzou . . . Will join the SEC next year. So it will get even more confusing!!!

So you have plenty of teams to root for at bowl time!
But it's always fun, isn't it! (my brother shrugs that off; as I don't understand that's it's serious)

Yes. Very serious business, indeed. But even as a Bama fan, I still rooted for Auburn last year for the national championship. And my friends who are Auburn fans rooted for Bama this year. That's just how it works around here.

Oh, I should have said my "other" alma mater regarding Mizzou. I'm an Alabama alum, too. We get around.

And my brother's adorable new fiancee is an MIT grad. But I don't think they play anything, do they?

Oh, they don't need to play with those brains!

We root for other teams but not with the same dedication for the alma maters. It's sort of the "enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing here. My brother gave Dad a dvd of last years championship game for Christmas, I had it on the dvr but somehow in lost it in November. Dad has watched that game at least once a week since last January.
If Auburn couldn't be number one again, Alabama was a good second choice. But the game was boring.

Hah, when I went to college, my Dad was a little concerned they didn't have a football team. Ringling School of Art and Design. How could I be happy without a team?
But the speaker, so ironic, for commencement was the sculptor who designed the Heisman Trophy.

#14 baby! Rammer Jammer!
