    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.

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

    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.

    You go right ahead Kevin. The Dawgs ain't givin' up without a fight! Hopefully your decision will cause more pain than anticipated.

    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.

    WE

    It's okay Kevin. I can live with the loss. Bama put an outstanding team on the field and they just outplayed us. At least it wasn't the slaughter that it started out to be in the first half.

    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!

    Florida Fans - where are you?

    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.

    Do they wear shoes in GA?

    I know they don't in AL, because with what we're kicking we don't want to get our shoes all messy

    What's up Belinda....Are you into verbal abuse? Or are you disappointed they let their team beat your favorite team?

    No sense in rubbing anything in. Look at how Florida played against Ole Miss in September! We all have our days. I'm always hoping a Florida-Georgia weekend will be one for the ages with good (close) football games.

    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.
