Hurry up January 7th!

Okay. May I talk about football again, now?

After watching so many bowl games, I feel compelled to comment on the dismal showing of the SEC. I mean, come on! I brag about our conference all year long only to be let down, nay, embarrassed by most of our bowl representatives. Even the SEC teams that won didn't win convincingly.

Auburn won, yes. Over 1200 yards of combined offense and 8 turnovers between the 2 teams. But they did come out on top. Penalties were rampant. I wanted to reach into the TV and yank a knot in the players who were penalized for excessive celebration. Can you not act like you've been in the end zone before?

Ole Miss won. But, again, it wasn't a stellar performance. Arkansas prevailed over ECU. ECU outplayed them only to be sabotaged by their kicker. I mean, it's your job, man, and you only made 1 out of 5 and missed the last 3! Hang up your cleats. Only your mother loves you right now.

Why do we have to wait until January 7th? Who decided that? Can we not just get on with it?

  2. I think a lot of people will be calling in sick on Friday with "celebration flu." Hopefully, it will be the good kind of celebration.
