that reminds me, i don't know if any of you saw this, ESPN did a short documentary a few months back on this small town down in the swamp that's produced a ton of NFL players. for those not familiar with football, kids from florida and schools from florida are known for speed. as in you watch the old games between florida state and miami against other schools and it doesn't even look fair. they appear to be twice as fast as the opposing teams on camera, and in many cases they were that much faster.
the secret? the local farmers pay the kids 2-3 dollars per rabbit that they catch out of the cane fields. and the kids chase them down on foot, catching them by hand, through tractor ruts and rocks and everything.

yeah bobby, i'm sure that 'might' be the case and you never gave it much thought, either that or you've been recruiting out of there for 30 years and tried to keep it a secret all this time, one or the other.Originally Posted by Bobby Bowden

Pretty interesting Neal, but I sure feel sorry for the rabbits.

I had a guardian angel at one time, but my little devil got him drunk, tattooed, and left him penniless at a strip club. I have not had another angel assigned to me yet.

I am afraid I must go with the Tide this weekend. After last weekend, I don't think the Puppy's will hang on. This is extremely painful as I really dislike Saban.

It really does not matter to me. As long as we beat Illinois, we move up. And with SC losing last night to a team we whipped...............
Sorry Belinda. I figured that Bama was going to beat Georgia, but not give them an old fashioned butt whipping.
All I can say is:
WE
ARE
PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just flew into Seattle with WSU Cougar fans and Oregon Duck fans. The Cougar fans were really quiet. The flight attendant was a WSU graduate and she told the Duck fans to mind their manners as she normally made Ducks fly outside the plane!

So much to learn, so little time.....
Well it's Wednesday night and I'm still not over the loss to Ole Miss. ARGH! So many mistakes!!!

I'd just like take a moment to thank all you Gators for not pouring salt into my open wound. Although I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed in you. I did expect some good natured ribbing over such a severe thrashing. Oh well, there's always next year, and don't think I'll be nearly as merciful when the shoe's on the other foot.

No, no verbal abuse intended. All in jest. I just really expected the more devoted Gator fans to really give me heck about the beating we took. All in fun. I'm really disappointed that my favorite team let themselves get beat.
You know Ben, I was hoping that September Florida team would show up on Saturday, but sadly for me the great team showed up instead. Georgia-Florida weekend is always a good one, and I'm with you - a close game is always better.
