How do you say "Rocky Top" in Iraqi?

[mhking]

Georgia is still gonna win the SEC this year...

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[faithincowboys]

Hysterical! What about the Florida State Seminoles. SEC football is fun, but I love my Noles. By the way, Vol fans should love us, our backup QB laid an egg in the Nat'l Championship game and y'all won.

[Straight Vermonter]

What the heck is a Boomsday?

[Terry Mross]

Woooo, Pig, soooie! I'm originally from Arkansas and my wife is originally from Tennessee. We have a blast when they play each other. We hope it's for the western div championship this year.

This tower was not theirs to paint.

Now all they need is an orange doublewide and a big satellite dish ;)

[oyez]

I guess it could be worse, you know. USC, Fightin" Irish or some kind of "Hook 'em Horns" kind of garbage.

[The South Texan]

Geaux LSU!

[Will_Zurmacht]

If the locals complain, then I'd probably change it.
Last thing we need to do is to defame the "High Holy water of Al-Fukein Ensein"
Otherwise it could be a good thing to establish a relationship. I'm sure the guys get asked where you are from etc.

Some liberal somewhere will throw a hissy but remember, it could be worse...
Imagine a big ole Rebel flag on that thing...hehe.

"Georgia is still gonna win the SEC this year..."

If you get past the Tigers this weekend. Geaux Tigers!!!

[Fledermaus]

Where are the HOGS?

My poor Arkansas just had to beat Texas and get way too much press and rated way too high.

We have a tough SEC schedule this year.

[Fledermaus]

Terry, Tenn and Ark are in different divisions. Tenn is in the East and Ark in the West. They don't play in the regular season this year...but that does mean they can possibly meet in the SEC championship game.

But I think Georgia is going to win the East again. LSU will probably win the West.

[eddie willers]

LOL!

Of course....the Dogs got there first!

Beats graffiti that is covering our country.

[Tuscaloosa Goldfinch]

A big ole' Tuscaloosa Bump!

[ArneFufkin]

Like gangsta graffiti? Now you're getting the statement this kind of crap makes to the locals.

[faithincowboys]

Arkansas? I'm sure it's a great place, but it gave Bubba to America.

Well, I hope your Razorbacks kick tail. I just hope the Noles win it all. Do you think the Gators or LSU look tough? It should be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I used to work for a call center service (when I was at FSU) and it handled MS, AL, FL and GA. It was hysterical the most diehard fans are Alabama fans, everybody and their brother who I spoke to from AL would always say, "Roll Tide."

[Terry Mross]

I sure thought they were in the same division. I thought I remember them playing twice a few years ago, once during regular season and once for the championship. Do they sometimes play each other during regular season? I'm in TExas and we get little SEC news down here. Of course last week the news was big!

The Iraqis painted the tower - the 101st supplied the paint.
