🏈 SEC against the field is also playing out among the fans

[TerryP]

I swear the man is sober.

You wouldn't know it hearing these words spill out of his mouth in a friendly Arkansas drawl.

But Alan Crook, a high school football coach from Little Rock, has been standing in this general-admission line outside TD Ameritrade Park — where the temperature is about 163 degrees — for 2½ hours. If there was any alcohol in his body, he sweat it out.

Yet he keeps talkin'.

“Until you play the schedule that the SEC plays, you should never have anything bad to say about an SEC football, basketball or baseball team,” Crook says.

There's more where that came from. “We always win. I can't remember who won a national championship other than the SEC.”

Uh-huh.

“I'll tell you what I would be for. We'll have an SEC tournament. And then pick your best team from everybody else. And we'll play for the national championship. That's the way it is anyway.”

and OKC loses to Miami (sure seemed like the officials helped out a bit).

In the case of last nights game, I don't think it counts.

Miami still hasn't won a regular season: only one that is abbreviated. Therefore, doesn't count.

I'm still griping about that pesky "have to score more points that your opponent" thing. But for that bit of silliness Bama was perfect last season.

There is an old Italian proverb: To him who watches, everything is revealed.

I've learned from all sorts and 2007 taught me one thing that is applicable to this season. Forget the "score more points."

After all, we didn't lose in regulation.
