Dan! The Bama- Boys played a great game! We can still keep our heads-up. WW

Devastating. We played hard, but just couldn't close the deal in the 4th quarter. Tebow is like Bronco Nagurski with a throwing arm, and losing to Florida is particularly galling. They will, however, play a good title game with (probably) Oklahoma (but I'll be rooting for the Sooners).
I guess the Sugar Bowl is our consolation this year, and it's hard to find fault with 12-1 (possibly 13-1 if we can win our bowl game). And, with only 9 seniors on the whole team (yes, only 9 -- fewest in D-1 football), we've got a young team that will only get better, particularly our super freshman WR Julio Jones.
All that being said, it still hurts to get that close and fall, especially after the program has languished in the wilderness for so long.

Well pulling for Oklahoma will not only warm the cockles of the weeners cold valve but also make a certain Dr. Pepto-Dispensor happy as well! [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img] WW

I'd actually prefer a Texas - OU rematch to put an end to all of the finger pointing.
OU - Florida is going to be a high-scoring game. I think it will boil down to who makes the least mistakes.

Not sorry at all that t.u. is out of it.
Gator U. better protect their high-value QB or the Sooners will toast 'em! He's like 90% of their offense.
