catpuppy, congratulations on the Georgia win over Tennessee.

I'm sad for Vandy's loss but their season isn't over. They've had a taste of victory and they really, really like it. LOL

”“They did a good job of bottling up our run,” LSU coach Les Miles said.

“That’s kind of how it started. We never really got momentum in that game.”

“Any time you lose a game like this, it’s everybody,” Miles said. “It’s me, it’s our coaching staff, it’s certainly our offense, defense and special teams. It’s the call and it’s the player. But we’re all in it together. We’re a team and we understand the regroup and fight.”

Well, Coach Miles pretty well summed it up in a handful of quotes. That ‘splains what happened to LSU against a powerhouse SEC team, a fine SEC coach and a Superman SEC quarterback.

What in the world happened to big blue ? Toledo? Thats worse than Appalachian State.

The very astute Mark Steyn has another excellant and moderately humorous piece in the National Review. I humbly recommend it. Steyn always delivers even if he has to grab us and shake us til we wake up. His observations are usually right on target and today he serves up some cold hard reality.

IMHO, this is the most frustrating, disappointing and truly frightening election I can ever remember. So much is at stake and we’re stuck with a default candidate that most of us didn’t want and don’t like and one who seems determined to prove that we’re right about him.

I don’t put much stock in polls because I know they are so slanted but we cannot survive an Obama presidency. It will be hard enough to overcome a McCain presidency. Rush said earlier this week its clear that we’re going to have to drag McCain across the finish line then deal with whatever happens.

Steyn points out....

” The Republican candidate’s tragedy in this election is that he’s chosen to fight on Obama turf, to share so many of his assumptions. At a McCain rally in Wisconsin, a fellow in the crowd announced he was mad as hell and got a standing ovation. What was he mad about? Obama, Pelosi, and “the socialists taking over our country.” McCain listened politely and then pledged to get back to Washington to reach across the aisle to work on some gargantuan bipartisan cure-all. Not the answer that chap wanted to hear, I’ll wager.”

If the more frightening polls are correct, America is about to elect the most left-wing government in history: an Obama Oval Office, a Pelosi House of Representatives, a filibuster-proof Senate and a year or two down the road maybe three new Supreme Court justices. It would be a transformational Administration that would start building (in Michelle Obama’s words) “the world as it should be.” That big empty hole in the heart of the Obama logo will not stay blank for long.”

He forgot to include statehood for DC, which will mean two more democrat senators and very likely a permanent democrat majority.

We can’t let that happen. I am not willing to concede that Obama is building an insurmountable lead. It ain't over til its over. Nor am I willing to turn this country over to radical, left-wing extremists who tried to destroy this country once before in the 60s. Back then they dressed in denim, today its Brooks Brothers. Their methods may have changed, they’re a little older, smoother and a little better groomed but their goal is still the same. We will not recognize our country if they succeed this time. We're blessed to have upwards of a million men and women who have volunteered to serve in distant lands to keep the world safe and free. They're now counting on us to step up and do our part here at home to keep the freedoms they've sacrificed so much to maintain.

Little blue is embarrasing this year, even worse than I thought.....I predicted 5 and 7, now I think it's 4 and 8 or 3 and 9.

Hey, at least I didn't suffer 2 indignities in one day........and yes, we'll be back soon.

:-(

Sorry that Vandy lost. The conference is so evenly matched that one never knows what will happen. As for Georgia, I didn't get to watch it as I was attending a reunion held in the hotel where the Tennessee football team was staying. It was interesting to see the true believers hang around the lobby to get autographs and face time.

Toledo? TOLEDO?

and what ever happened to the mighty wisconsin?
