if the SEC has won 7 straight and one had 2 SEC teams in it, wouldn't that be 7-1??

 

[planomateo]

He's counting the LSU 2003 and Tennessee 1998 I believe.

Well according to the forum Irish Envy its because our guys are juicing and not to mention stupid because they do not get their degrees. Oh and our players are paid. I saw most on that forum were cool but some are out there.

Actually, they are discussing the ESPN story on Kelly interviewing with the Eagles...anic:

I think they've come to terms with what happened in Miami, they might not like it, but they've realized that they need to keep improving.

I saw some of that on the gameday threat, I've heard a lot is that because we over-sign and we have no academic standard :lance:...I tell you for such a prestigious institution, they have some of the dumbest fans.
