[personal] RE: [Husker] Huh? Bad Decision?

Wed Dec 5 06:28:39 CST 2007

I've watched Georgia several times this year, and
trust me, they aren't that good.  They have no
business crying about being in the NC game, and I
wouldn't be surprised one bit if Hawaii wears them
out.

All these SEC teams think they're head and shoulders
above the rest of the country.  They don't think
football is played West of the Mississippi.  When they
get beat in bowl games, their excuse is that they beat
each other up all year and they were tired and not
into the game.  

I can't discuss football with these people in the
South.
