You haven’t seen style until you see a 300 lbs. pasty white 45 year old man wear a Ted Ginn Jr. jersey.

So I’ll enjoy my alma matter’s continuing success and you can just go on being a jealous bitch.

When Washington St. is your toughest game on the way to the Rose Bowl, you have a slack schedule.

Tough Auburn team that year. Really was. 5 losses. That’s the worst they’ve done in ten years (and I fucking HATE Aubarn).

Keep celebrating your One-peat like it was the second coming of Christ.

Michigan was #4 that year going into the Rose Bowl and though they had two losses compared to one for LSU and Oklahoma, they were the hot team. I thought at the time that USC would have had a better chance against one of the other one loss teams. Often the hot dangerous team at the end of the year (like LSU 2006 or USC 2001) is already out of the title picture.

USC vs Texas has nothing to do with this. Texas were a great team who put it together, got a few lucky breaks (as every winning team does) and won a close game. Bringing that up just makes it sound like you have general jealousy issues with USC.

The national championship game has to have the #1 team in it. So the championship game was the Rose Bowl that year. Simple.

Good one. As a Dawg fan its hard to argue with the Gator’s success the past 17 years. On the other hand it must feel like paddling upstream to have won 15 of 17 and still trail the series by 9. Knowing how these things run in cycles, better enjoy it now.

Although, wasn’t the Wembley decision taken under Adam Crozier? Was he in fact trying to destroy the English FA from within?

I hadn’t thought about trident but surely the right group of neds with some buckfast empties ought to do the trick as a replacement.

I didn’t see the Old Firm game but I did have a chuckle about the result.

Bob # 66 : stop trying assign the blame where it properly lies, you’ll distract Steve from his agenda of appearing to go after USC while really going after Auburn.

I also see no issue with having split national champions…it happened many times before and probably will happen again. No big deal. Two great teams. LSU was better defensively and USC was better offensively.

Until there is a playoff, it is all going to be speculative anyway. What if Michigan had gotten the rematch with the Buckeyes and won and what if USC had not lost to UCLA. We could have had OSU, Michigan, Florida, LSU and USC with one loss a piece and Boisie unbeaten. Michigan would probably have won the BCS title, but after watching the games over the holidays it was obvious that Florida, LSU and USC were much better teams.

If the AP named Duke the national champions last year, would you be singing their high praises from the rooftops?

Remember all the complete and utter bullshit when USC and Texas were gonna be playing, and they were talking about this USC team being the greatest team ever? Yet they couldn’t even win the NC game. You have to do that to even be on that list.

You have to play in, and win, the National Championship game, to be considered the NC under the BCS system. As I said before, it is no different than the ‘Barn in 2004.

The SNP would also pull out of Trident.

None of the small northeuro countries like Belgium, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden (I’m ignoring Norway because of oil revenue) or Finland have any advantages we don’t; and our economy is stronger than most.

I’m all for it so that if we fuck it up we can’t blame anyone else.

And now a return to your scheduled programme . . .

Talking of local rivalry, anyone see the Old Firm game at the weekend?

Speed faster than SEC speed? I don’t think that’s possible. Everyone knows that not even Michael Johnson has a chance in a foot race with an overweight offensive lineman from one of the schools blessed enough to be geographically below the Mason-Dixon and to the right of the Mississippi.

#59. It should happen before Pete Carroll is done, but you have a couple of more years to go at least.

#60. You are spinning some gibberish there. The AP never changed anything or broke any agreements. They ranked teams the way they always had and gave the championship they way they always have. The BCS screwed up that year and did something that nobody had dreamed the formula would ever do. They matched the #2 team in both polls against the #3 team in both polls. The AP never agreed to boost up the #2 or #3 team over the #1 team so they didn’t have to. I’m sure the coaches would have voted USC #1 had they been able to vote as they wished. The “everywhere but the collective mind of the AP” satement is total BS since the coaches poll also had USC #1 at the end of the regular season. LSU are the lucky ones in that the BCS wanted to make sure they could hand out the trophy on TV at the end of the game and thus got the coaches to agree to automatically predetermine their “vote”.
