Thanks! Roll Blue Tide, and Roll Crimson Tide!

Ha! I figured someone would pout, so that's why. But, seriously, in my playoff scenario, the semi-final and the championship games would be played on a neutral field utilizing the biggest bowls, so it wouldn't matter. But the reason I gave Oky State the nod was because they won their...

Thanks for all the positive comments, Bama fans! We're rooting for you over LSU! You out-played them in every place but the scoreboard the first game, and I'm predicting a 21-17 victory for the Tide on January 9th. Just a quick update this week's Ga. Southern game is Saturday AT Fargo, North...

Good Luck Tide! We had an awesome time in T-town last week. Sorry we couldn't get a defensive stop, but hopefully, our option was interesting. Roll Tide and on to your 14th NC in a re-match with LSU!

Look at the second page of the Saturday Game Day cover section. Tommy Deas did a good job of his analysis of Alabama vs. Ga. Southern's Offense, Defense, Special Teams, Coaches, Intangibles, BUT he slipped up twice by saying that we are not a Division I school and that we are Ga. State. Just...

All good points...the debate goes on...I like being called snarky! Sure, Alabama had the best team in 2009, but an undefeated team from a lesser conference had NO chance to play for a NC...and never will under this system. My father always said "Remember the Golden Rule, he who has the gold...

as I was saying...both teams' offenses played well, and my prediction was about right. Take away the blocked punt and if we could get a 3rd down stop or two..."but if ifs and buts were candy and nuts..." Congratulations on the win and good luck getting your 14th NC while we go for our 7th...

In 1977, teams like East Carolina, Chattanooga, Nevada, Marshall, etc. (about 100 or so total) got tired of never getting to play for a bowl game because only the big conference schools got all of the money and TV coverage at the bowl level. These smaller schools pushed for a playoff system...

There is a playoff at the Division ONE level! It is called the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS)! You play for a bowl and a mythical NC because it is not settled on the field. It is settled by polls and computers...that is one huge reason why Ga. Southern continues to remain at FCS...

Yes, I have a law practice in Dalton--hence the name "Dalton Legal Eagl" (would have been Eagle but the site did not allow for enough letters)--been there 21 years. I was at Ga. Southern from 1982-87, Erk's years. The school grew from 5,000 to 10,000 during that time, and is now at 21,000...

Our cheerleaders do that every game--they were just used to it, not meaning to offend. One criticism we had was the placing of our band halfway to heaven in the upper deck. We could not hear them and we made up our own cheers in the stands. Also, at the end of the game your band began playing...

Pluckingrit, my friend, here is the breakdown of College Football by division: Division I has two parts: FBS (fka I-A) about 120 schools which play for a bowl game (SEC included here) FCS (fka I-AA) about 120 schools which play for a playoff and a true national...

We invented this version of the Triple Option in the 1980's when Erk Russell was our head coach and Paul Johnson (now at Ga. Tech) was his Offensive Coor,) We had a special talent in Tracy Ham as our QB who was an inch too short to play at Florida who wanted him to play CB. We got him, Erk...

My family is originally from Mississippi, but moved to Ga. when I was a child. I was born in Hattiesburg, another underdog town, where my parents went to Southern Miss.

Yes, but I have been traveling to Mississippi since the game to visit relatives. Sorry, I just got a chance to see my replies tonight!
