Yes, I remember that vividly. They were practically ready to put the 2005 USC team up against the 2004 New England Patriots (you know, the last Pats team to win the Super Bowl).

I also remember rooting my heart out for Texas, and being absolutely pumped when they pulled out a win.

We say it all the time, but it needs to be constantly repeated. The BCS system has to go. The coaches poll in particular is getting completely out of control.

Knowshon Moreno is a god.

At about 1:20, he brutally stiff arms a guy en route to a 53 yard TD.

At 2:00, as part of a 20+ yard run, he HURDLES OVER a guy who is standing.

Somehow, none of these plays made ESPN's college football coverage. None of them even made the plays of the week.

Yeah, that dude's a beast. Totally looking forward to ALA-UGA! After we beat those other two chump teams first. ;)

You let us win the national title this year and next, and then you can have the next two. Deal? :bigparty

Good article about UGA's rise over the last 7 years, and Mark Richt in particular:

Won’t be long before UGA wins it all

Some of the comments from Bobby Bowden about Mark Richt are the most interesting, imho.

Another win, about a tough conference opponent in their stadium...

Another spot lost in the polls.

WTF?

Yes, it was close. But look at history. This game is always close, no matter how good either team is. That's the thing about rivalry games - especially conference games. The last 5 or 6 games in a row now between UGA and SC have been decided by less than 7 pts, and the winner has scored less than 20.

Georgia is the first preseason No. 1 to drop that far after starting 3-0 since Oklahoma in 1985. The Sooners also fell to No. 3 after winning their first three games.

Fucking absurd.

Wow.

What kind of idiot would wear a shirt like that in public?

I guess he's not wanting any chicks.

A little late, but...

raped

I love how there was all this hype and sensationalism like "Most Anticipated Matchup" for this game (JUST like when OSU played Fla for the national title) yet OSU just got totally raped... again. Why is there so much nat'l media love for ohio state every year???
