That's about how I feel over the fsu vs florida game.

I don't want to see the `noles actually win a game . . . but I do want to see the gators lose one more.

Unfortunately; the `Canes are sitting out the post season (again).

And this time, both of the other guys look as though they are gonna finish with w's.

Well, not being too technical about it; my attitude about Notre Dame stems from their "halfway" way. They place themselves only one notch below the ultimate. And, they only partly joined the ACC; only slightly deeper than the Big East.

Personally, my feelings (as a Big East member) was to tell Notre Dame to join fully (football) or take a hike. Lots of others held this opinion too. The ACC got only a marginally better deal vs. Notre Dame in football. As an ACC member, I feel the same way, join the league fully or take a hike.

Obviously this year they are much better than the past decade; but, I don't really care as they still have a smarmy attitude toward everyone else. I've told all those little green fans to buy all that swag now as who knows how long this will last.

I don't like them for much the same reason. I do think they should be in the championship game. Lots of times they do take someone's spot when they really don't deserve to be there.

They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Season participation in Bowls games needs to be exclusively on the current year record, sos, etc. They idea there is a heritage that earns you entitlement is so Obamafootball. And at my last look, they were the only team, elibible, that went undefeated and they had a relatively high SOS. Why shouldn't they be in the game?

I agree to a point though, if you beat Oklahoma in a BCS bowl the year before and then go undefeated with largely the same team, I think you deserve that game to be considered. If you won a national championship or five, all before 1970, then no it should make no difference.
