SLOW NEWS DAY: TAKE THIS TIME TO PURGE.
In lieu of refunding everyone’s daily subscription fees for what’s turning out to be the first letdown day following the OMG GREATEST FOOBAW WEEKEND EVAR 2K8, we’re taking a step back. There’s absolutely nothing interesting happening today, so we’re focusing inward and using this time to improve ourselves as fans by confessing our greatest cardinal football sins. We surveyed ourselves, fellow bloggers just as strapped for content as we are this afternoon, and a few intrepid commenters. The following is our preliminary list of trespasses against our fellow man, our school loyalty, and in several cases against humanity itself.

Forgive me father, for I enjoy the sounds of “Rocky Top”.
ORSON, Florida: “I like Georgia’s colors.”
HOLLY, Tennessee: “I think the recitation of Neyland’s Maxims is one of the dumber traditions in college football and would like nothing better than to see it scrapped.”
PB, Texas: “I don’t hate Kirk Herbstreit like I should. It’s pitiful. He has some weird charisma that overwhelms my rational mind. Maddening.”
SIGNAL TO NOISE, USC: “I’ve started to hate Mark Sanchez. I was uneasy with it; there was something I couldn’t place. I was kind of “well, he’s the QB of the team I root for,” but when the announcers last week compared him to Vince from Entourage, my hate made sense.”
ROCKABYE REGGIE NELSON, Florida: “I prefer games on TV to games in person.”
WORSTFAN, Ohio State: “I want Ohio State to lose again, so I can stop trying to rationalize how they still deserve to be in consideration to be “in it”. I say this as a holder of two Ohio State degrees and former 5 year resident of the 43210.”
BURRITOBROSSHITS, Florida: “Feigning love for the Buckeyes to get laid. Actually worked but I felt really dirty and guilty afterwards. I didn’t have the heart to tell her, though, so I just bounced.”
MONDAY MORNING PUNTER, Ohio State: “Daryll Clark is the man! He strikes me as the kind of guy that could take a girl out to a nice dinner the one minute and then toss her down a flight of stairs the next.”
LT. WINSLOW, Miami: “Fuck it. I don’t regret it. I shared a brief, romantic moment with my coke-whore ex girlfriend’s best friend inside the privacy of a stall in the women’s bathroom in the west endzone of the Orange Bowl at the ‘06 Miami-FSU game. There were little teardrop shaped titties and a baggie of white powder and I’d do it again if I had the chance.”
We feel better already. Please, do join the purge party below with your worst transgressions.

I’d really enjoy having sex with Helen Hunt. Does the fact that I think she looks just like Mark Richt make me gay. It’d be great if she could yell things like “go deep”, “run around end”, and “plug up the hole”

John, UGA – I don’t repent much so this is going to be quite extensive.
1. I get really tired of hearing about Herschel Walker.
2. I also think Uga is of questionable genetic makeup.
3. I think Tebow deserved the Hesiman…and I think he is an amazing person.
4. I thought that Urban Meyer and the spread would never ever ever ever work in the SEC…and I was really really wrong.
5. I think GT is a good school.
6. UGA’s cheerleaders are low on “talent”
7. Love the power “T” at Vols games
8. I respect South Carolina’s fan base
9. I think everything the OBC says is hilarious
10. I really hope everyone else in the SEC loses every game and I do understand the consequences of such a scenario.
11. I don’t drink before or during games and I’m completely cool with that.
12. Wish I lived in New Zealand/Australia so I wouldn’t get so caught up in college football.
13. I completely HATEEEEEEEE when UGA fans trash talk at games. Karma is a bitch.
14. I want to beat everyone senseless who does the “keys” thing.
15. Even if we lose to Florida the next 10 years (which based on recent history doesn’t seem too far off), I will still become slightly aroused by the thought of “The Celebration” (and I will buy the landscape print…)
16. I think Auburn is a cool place.
17. I think Paul Johnson will do really good things for GT and I’m terrified of the triple option
18. I get embarrassed with most UGA fans
19. WISH CALVIN JOHNSON WOULD HAVE CAME TO UGA!!!!!
20. Jealous of USC, Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame and everyone else who gets ranked highly based on their history and wish UGA got that some kind of credit.

INDIANA “FOOTBALL”
-the all red uniforms suck
-the field turf is dreadful to look at
-the defense always sucks asshole
-the stadium sucks, thank god it’s getting renovated
-the tailgating scene is more enjoyable than the games.
-all these can be corrected in time, so hopefully they turn it around.
-a wonderful tradition of losing
-I was just as jealous as I was angry a few years ago when OSU fans overtook our stadium and did the O-H-I-O chant in our stands.
(I still love Coach Hep, his brief work with the program was the sole reason why Indiana fans still have some hope for improvement.)

Sullivan013: Dye-hard Auburn fan
I always liked Bear Bryant. I remember rooting for Auburn as a child, but never missing a Bear Bryant show (though I enjoyed the 72 show more than anything in my life – hearing Bear having to admit losing that game was pure ectasy).
I miss the Wreck Tech parade more than any of the ‘newer’ traditions at Auburn, to include the Tiger Walk and the Eagle Flyover.
I thought the ‘Black out’ at the AU-GA game last year was one of the most awe-inspiring, intimidating stunts of the modern era.
Georgia had the prettiest girls in the SEC in the early 80s (excepting, of course, my wife that I met at Auburn).
I realized I find greater enjoyment out of Auburn games when we’re the underdog than when we completely dominate. Others throw thier hands up about the unneccesarily close nail-biter games, but I actually find winning those to be a better tonic than winning by three touchdowns. Even the perfect season and SEC championship in 2004 doesn’t approach the euphoric bliss of the last minute field goals over Florida in ‘01 and ‘07, and the Brad Lester’s last first down in the 2007 Iron Bowl.
I *like* ‘three yards and a cloud of dust” power I football. I would rather see a halfback running for six off-tackle than a 30-yard completion.
F*ck the Spread.

Ramblin' Jeff says:
I despise the Atlantic Coast Conference, and wish Georgia Tech had never left the SEC… despite the fact we’d probably be a bottom feeder.
I think, just like Georgia/Clemson/etc fans do, that most GT fans are snobbish a-holes who need to get over themselves.
I would also rather party in Athens on a Gameday than arguably anywhere else on the planet.

I have to admit one more thing, and I have to say some will vilify me for it but some will nod and say, “yeah, I feel ya”:
After being a born-and-bred Ole Miss fan, I gotta say, when I went to USM and Bama to get my masters degrees and when I took the job at State, it was kinda nice to have school colors, mascots, fight songs, and other traditions without all the overt racial connotations. And if you tell my Colonel Reb-loving daddy I said that I’ll deny every word.

salliek76 says:
LSU alum
I’ve got family members all over the SEC, and here are my secret confessions based on trips all over the South.
-I’m jealous that we don’t have a Tiger Navy that comes up on the Mississippi River. The Vol Navy is one of the most amazing traditions in sports.
-I’m jealous that our fans don’t have an organized kickoff cheer (a la “Goooooooo Dawgs! Sic ‘em! Woof-woof-woof” or “Waaaaaaaar Eagle! Hey!”)
-I’m jealous that every single student in Jordan-Hare Stadium has a pompom and they shake them all in perfect unison.
-I’m jealous that when a game is completely out of hand at halftime, Vandy’s fans get to leave (without guilt or harrassment) and head to the bar.
-I’m jealous of The Grove at Ole Miss because it makes me wish I had read more Faulkner, paid attention when my grandmother was making deviled eggs, and owned a sterling silver candelabra.
-I think TOBC is the most competitive man in the history of football. The man kicked his own 40-yard field goal to beat Auburn because he trusted himself more than his own kicker.

Bobby Decatur says:
UGA…
I’ll take my 12 year old son to Oxford, MS on an October Saturday in 2013, in not so subtle hopes that he’ll choose Ole Miss over Athens…..driven in large part by the sartorical issues that I’m developing with the UGA fanbase vs the fantastic snob appeal of The Grove and Oxford’s culture.

BamaAtty says:
Bama fan here with a few confessions:
(1) I have platonic man love for Carnell Williams. I think he was awesome and he is the one player we didn’t get during probation that makes me sick. (Followed by Chad Jackson)
(2) Tommy Tuberville is a great game-day coach.
(3) I wanted us to hire Tommy Bowden when we got Fran (and again when we hired Price). I wanted Croom when we hired Shula. I wanted Kragthorpe when we hired Saban (not instead of – I though Saban was a pipe-dream). So I’m not allowed to hire coaches. Ever.
(4) I think Steve Spurrier is the best coach the SEC has seen since I was born.
(5) I hate when the band plays “Basket Case” – Ditto, “Dixieland Delight” on the loudspeakers – Our band has boring half-time shows
(6) I think our fanbase is crazy schizo with elements of manic depression unmatched by other schools. If we lose Saturday to Ole Miss, elements of our fan base will turn on Saban quicker than if he endorsed Barack Obama.

Arch Stanton says:
1. As a Georgia fan, I hate Loran Smith.
2. The “Spell Georgia Cheer” is one of the gayest traditions in CFB.
3. The “2001″ music at Williams-Brice sends chills up my spine.
4. Death Valley is a prettier setting than Sanford Stadium. So is Kenan.
5. I wish I went to a school like Wake Forest where a BCS bowl appearance and a 10 win season is really an accomplishment.

DHC says:
I despise the Gainesville, FL heat index. Embarrassed to say this is a reason I don’t head down for games in September.
Was told as a freshman that I would get used to it. Yeah, like I’d ever get used to getting my head beaten in on a regular basis.
Caveat: I did appreciate the impact of the heat on the ladies’ choice in clothing

VA Tech fan:
1. I hate the all-orange uniforms
2. When Tyreesha-Rodney Taylor is scrambling around, holding the ball like a loaf of bread, I sometimes miss hearing Wendy Nix saying, “Sean Glennon back to pass”…but I don’t miss the ensuing interception that was soon to follow.
3. I sometimes wish that we wouldn’t win the ACC because it’ll save me the punishment from all the rednecks in ATL that see me in my VT gear and say something annoying like, “Heey! Yoouu! Beamer’s got a neckbubble, and your team can’t win in a BCS game!!!! HAW HAW HAW rabble rabble!! The bulldogs beat Hawaii by 7,000 points, and they’d do the same to your shit-ass team!!!”

Justanotherbuckeye: Ohio State,
A little late to the party, but football jesus is always ready to hear our sins, so here goes:
1) Archie Griffin was only good because he played when he did, if he played today his name would be Maurice Wells.
2) Like another buckeye fan stated abvoe, the “O-H” yell seeking the return “I-O” annoys the crap out of me.
3) OSU football feels more business than homegrown passion as I grow older, I don’t know if it’s me or if it’s reality.
4) I rooted out loud for Michigan against Florida last year and actually, for the first time in my life, felt good for UM…………………and jealous of them that they continually spank SEC teams all the while OSU even looks at an SEC team and they cornhole us. It annoys the hell out of me actually.
5) When Jim Tressel took over, we needed a serious makeover on the roster due to character issues. I feel he’s done too good of a job and we need to pump the brakes a bit and let a couple of ass kickers back into the fold.
6) I still hate Charles Woodson even though I am 10 years removed from his shenanigans and a full grown, functioning adult.
7) I pretend like I love all day football fests, but in reality, at 9:00p.m. after drinking all day, I really just feel like playing xbox and killing some dudes on Halo.

PJ from NU in SF says:
Wow, where to begin…
a) When a game turns hopeless, I find other stuff to do. (This is practiced by many NU fans, I’ve found.)
b) I know the words to the obscene version of the fight song better than the real ones.
c) I have hated our uniforms for years. (Bring back the Northwestern Stripes, damnit!)
d) I hum the Notre Dame fight song in the shower when no one else is around.
e) I envy any school that can fill a stadium during September, or midterms.
f) I love both Tennessee and Washington for the riverine access to their stadiums. Unfortunately, the North Shore channel really isn’t an option.
g) If I gambled, I would constantly sell my boys down the river.

No Names Please, UF:
I don’t like the people with whom I’ve been tailgating for the last 15 years, and it’s making me not even want to go to games anymore.
The piped in rawk music sucks, and furthers the chipping away of old traditions. I wish it were the same as when my Dad was here.
I have never been to Athens for fear that I would like it so much I’d start regretting 20 years’ worth of decisions.

UGA fan:
1) I think our pregame and in-game rituals suck. The spell Georgia cheer, the GEORGIA, BULLDOGS back and forth thing, the 4th quarter Krypton Fanfare thing, the redcoat band…all suck.
2) I have no problem with Auburn or its fans.
3) Georgia’s campus lays out very poorly for tailgating. UNC’s is perfect. And the whole gameday experience is vastly overrated.
4) Most of our fans are idiot rednecks that I’d rather not be around.

GoldenTornado says:
Also, GT’s colors suck. White and gold do not contrast enough, the school and fans can’t settle on a shade of gold/yellow anyway, and the most common shade of gold (Vegas gold) doesn’t stand out and washes out the generally pasty fan base.
Tech’s big money alumni need to accept navy blue as an official third school color.

I can, um, relate to that. A lot. A very lot.
I taught Holly’s cousin (my 4yr old baby girl) the Gator chomp weeks before the UT UF game for no good reason
Which is right around the time I started teaching her every Raiders cheer I have ever heard, not because I like them but because I knew it would break her Daddy’s heart. Sorry, Erik!*

Texas_Dawg says:
– Georgia’s fanbase is every bit as bad as Florida’s (and arguably even Texas’).
– “Glory, Glory” might be the worst fight song ever. It’s embarrassing and should be ended.
– The “spell Georgia” cheer Georgia ends its home game halftimes with is cringe-inducing. Especially when it’s introduced as “one of the greatest traditions in college football”.
And speaking of that… how have no Gator fans here purged a hatred of Mr. Two Bits? Please tell me UF fans aren’t universally proud of that one.

Auburn:
- I have no probelm with Bama fans reminiscing about Bear Bryant (the houndstooth is over done though), traditions are what make college football great
- UGa is probably my second favorite team, not just SEC, but in all of college football
- After the 1997 SEC Championship game in Atlanta, I attacked a group of Tennessee fans for taunting me in the parking lot of a Waffle House. They were still in their car (a Geo Tracker) with the motor running. I was still on the roof when they pulled out onto Roswell road. I jumped off into the center lane and they never came back.
Actually that’s not a confession, it’s more of a brag. Chicken@#$& UT fans.

I am still not over the Ron Zook years.

In High School I went to my First College football game was GT v Clemson when Godsey lead Tech to an overtime win over Clemson. I sang “Im a wrambling wreck from Georgia Tech and a helluva an Engineer”
My first SEC football game was when Auburn Beat Rex Grossman at Auburn, I loved it. I loved the fans, the war eagle chant, and I think that eagle that flies around is awesome (in best GW Bush Voice)
I secretly believe we are just a notch below the top flight programs in the country and always will be.
I never liked David Pollack, not a bit.

Barstoolio – maybe, if you spoke Panther between 1990-1994. I piled all my stuff in a heap and burned it after the Div. III debacle but will worship Reboul until I die.
I am told that before Cal introduced Oski in 1941, live bears mascots were used “with varying degrees of success,” and I would give a couple of toes to know what they meant by that.
Bonus confession, which if related to my family down South will result in a date with the sour apple tree:
I think Notre Dame is THE tradition in college football and the fact that they play Army and Navy all the time fills me with a warm glow of 40s nostalgia and reverence for history.
…I’ll show myself out…

the great bill, Auburn fan…
1. Even though I make fun of bama fans living off the past acheivements of their 12 national titles, I would likely strangle my cat for Auburn to have the same.
2. Carnell Wiliams might have been a little overrated. And I was embarassed for him when he spoke in public.
3. Although I say LSU fans are the most obnoxious bunch ever, I secretly admire their bourbon-soaked passion and wish our fans could be that rabid.
4. Pat Dye was one of the worst things to happen to Auburn.
5. I can’t stand Auburn fans who where the “All Auburn, All Orange” T-shirts to games.
6. I’m afraid of Nick Saban.

I feel your pain. The HOPE scholarship turned me from a UF fan into a UGA fan in only a year. My father was not pleased.
Side note: we moved from Florida to Bama for dads work and lived there 2 years before moving to Atlanta for the same reason. While there, my sister graduated high school and was offered a scholarship to Auburn.

Crabapple Buck says:
In addition
I can’t stand the attention whores that always get camera time that are covered in face paint or cowboy hats and capes. I keep thinking John Wayne Gacy every time they appear.
I too am jealous of any team that can beat an SEC team in a bowl. This is one of the great mysteries of life.
I tear up when the band makes their ramp entrance in the stadium.
I wish our good fans would turn in the ones who just want to be assholes so that the bad element disappears and we get a better reputation. I understand the rivalry better than anyone, but harrassment of fans is stupid. So is booing the UM band to the point of not hearing a note they play. It really is embarrassing.
The eagle flying in the stadium at Auburn is cool.
Alabama fans make ours look sane by comparison. But I know their pain and frustration.
LSU fans are funny, crazy and good cooks at a tailgate. The Tiger eye is the best designed logo on grass ever.
I hate that our home scarlet unis don’t have any gray on the sleeves anymore. I also think Nike sucks and wish we would dictate terms with them to either design the right color scheme or we’ll find somebody who will.

- I want to copy Texas A&Ms tradition of “When the Aggies score, everyone scores” where everyone kisses their date after a TD
- I think MSU cowbells are a good tradition
- I think FSU honors the Seminole tribe the correct way and all native americans should take note when protesting (like the Illini nation) Don’t like the tomahawk though, it reminds me of somethign from a 1950’s sci fi movie.

Too chicken to post my real name, but a Dawg Fan says:
UGA fan/alum and Catholic so this is almost spiritual:
-I thought when UTenn wore orange pants in the SECCG they looked pretty cool
-First game I ever went to was an Auburn home game where I rooted for Bo like a man possessed
-I like Auburn’s uniforms
-I like Tech’s Budweiser song
-I will never say anything bad about Eric Berry or Calvin Johnson
-UF’s and LSU’s home field advantage is better than UGA’s
-I find Spurrier amusing and don’t really hate him
-Peyton Manning is probably my favorite QB in the NFL
-Al Horford is my favorite NBA player
-I root for SEC teams in bowl games
-The Vol Navy is really impressive
-Alabama fans acted with suprising grace and class during the failed blackout and kept saying “We’ll see you in Atlanta in December”. I doubt UGA fans would have been as cool.
-Coach Richt’s hair is… never mind
-I don’t hate Tim Tebow.
-I grew up rooting for Tech and UGA and had a Lethal Weapon 3 (Kenny Anderson, Dennis Scott, and Brian Oliver) poster in my room. I cried when they lost to UNLV in the Final Four
-I frequently correct Dawg fans that UF and not UGA is the second best academic school in the SEC based on ratings by national publications.
-I applied to both Auburn and South Carolina
-I like SCAR’s 2001 intro
-I still can’t believe Aaron Murray didn’t pick UF and won’t feel 100% comfortable until Signing Day
-I felt bad for Tony Franklin getting canned so early
-I appreciate the fact that UF, UTenn, BAMA, SC, Vandy, and ARK have unique mascots
-I think Paul Johnson might be the perfect hire for Tech and I hate that.
WOW! That felt really good. Now some requisite smack talk so I don’t kill myself in shame. GO Dawgs – I hate the color orange and I hope Urban Meyer gets some rare form of bone cancer and pees shards of femur for a year before being killed by 1,001 carefully placed paper cuts and a bottle of bleach.
Now, I plan on saying 10 Our Fathers, 10 Hail Marys, and watch Munson highlights for one hour and then a replay of last year’s WLOCP. Amen.

I always liked Spurrier and have found him to be funny and a good guy.
I too prefer to watch games at home on the couch – all the drinks I want, better food, no hassle of going anywhere, multiple games, and a warm puppy.
I am marrying a UF grad and find myself actually hoping they win games, not just acting like it (not the UGA game of course). They used to be the team I hated because of their fans in Jax… meeting the right fans can change your opinion of any team
and finally I am not sure the SEC is the best conference this year… yes I did just burst into flame upon typing that

UGA fan here…
I confess that I really like both USC and Meatchicken’s fight songs.
And I would brave Rocky Top if Neyland’s Maxims were replaced by “The Girls of Maxim”.

Walt, Cornell (FCS represent!)
– I don’t care that we were a relevant program 70 years ago.
– The 5th Down Game wasn’t a particularly noble gesture of sportsmanship.
– Ed Marinaro didn’t get jobbed out of the Heisman.
– They aren’t “student-athletes” here either.

Oh, another thing, even though I have no reason to hate Va Tech:
The “Enter Sandman” entrance is the greatest team entrance in college football. Whoever thought it up should win a Nobel Prize in Awesome.

Draw on 3rd and 16- Michigan Fan
1. I was adamant in getting a new coach. I wanted to trade up. Old girlfriend for new girlfriend. Tired and old for new and hot. Grind it out off tackle for 70 yd qb keepers and bubble screens. Despair for flash. I miss the old girlfriend and I think the new girlfriend might have crabs.
2. I think Joe Germaine was an absolutely bad ass and wish he went to UofM.
3. College football is the only sport that really matters. The NFL is barely watchable but they don’t pull any punches on character issues. They don’t give two shits if you have multiple DUIs, as long as you can stop the run. They don’t care if you beat your old lady, as long as you can cover. They don’t care if you sold coke to retarded elementary schools kids, as long as you can run. Big time college programs continue to feed me the same shit about these kids deserving 2nd chances and given the opportunity to mature as they grow into men. This is why they aren’t suspended for Saturday’s game. No, the reason Mack isn’t suspended is because he weighs 370 lbs. and is a fucking road grader for your all-conference tailback. Call a spade a spade. You are trying to win games at all costs.
4. B-52 fly-overs are the shit.
5. Not only is the War Eagle at Auburn cool, I deep down inside want one as a pet.
6. For the last 10 seconds during the App. State game I thought we were going to win and everything was going to be all right.
I’ve said too much.

Herb, NC State:
1) We hired the wrong guy; PJ will take GT to greatness.
2) UNC is a damn fine school and I have considered it for every degree I have considered.
3) I am ashamed of the number of fans we have with a UNC inferiority complex.
4) I don’t even really like basketball.
5) I puked in a bus coming back from a game and didn’t tell anyone.
6) I’ve skipped games I had tickets to and not even given them away.
