  1. Surprised me that Arkansas had good facilities
  2. Father and I were looking into going to a couple road games next year. Was wondering what is the best way to get tickets? Does the ticket office sell them to the public or are season ticket holders first priority? I know StubHub is an option but that can get pricey. Thanks in advance.
  3. My worse case is that we loose 4 again - highlighted in Red. Mainly because of our track record this year. Bo hasn't beaten a good BCS team pre-conference yet that I can remember - so Miami. Wisc, Iowa, MSU had our # the last time we played each. However, MSU has a lot of seniors they will be without from this year's team. Best case - if we show real maturity on both sides of the ball, good QB play and minimize turnovers, minimize bad or lack of adjustments, and improve ST, I could see the potential for us to win every game if we are healthy. We have the talent to do so. I always enter the season wt optimism - I just want to keep it next year all season long. Realism, based on past performances, causes one to hedge or temper that optimism. I think everyone on the board wants to be optimistic, the frustration is seasonal let downs. That BYE week before Wisconsin is huge!
  4. Nice find, looks like we might be able to cross USF off that list
  5. Post that video reaction of the NW game!
  6. Rumor has it that the artist is Keith Urban.
  7. "Alexander The Great ‏@Lalexander_183h It feels good resting after that great win yesterday" Nothing about a potential concussion on twitter, hopefully he is okay
  8. It's obvious a lot of the bowl games are in the southeast, which is SEC's backyard. In this post I figured the distance for each team that qualified for bowl games. Big 10- 7 SEC- 10. SEC: South Carolina- Columbia, SC -----> Orlando, FL 430 miles, 6 hours LSU- Baton Rouge, LA -----> Tampa, FL 712 miles, 10 hours Texas A&M- College Station, TX -----> Atlanta, GA 825 miles, 12 hours Georiga- Athens, GA -----> Jacksonville, FL 340 miles, 5.5 hours Mississippi State- Starkville, MS -----> Memphis, TN 182 miles, 2.8 hours Ole Miss- Oxford, MS -----> Nashville, TN 231 miles, 3.4 hours Missouri- Columbia, MO -----> Arlington, TX 600 miles, 9 hours Vanderbilt- Nashville, TN -----> Birmingham, AL 192 miles, 2.8 hours Alabama- Tuscaloosa, AL -----> New Orleans, LA 292 miles, 4 hours Auburn- Auburn, AL -----> Pasadena, CA 2137 miles, 30 hours Average Distanced Traveled- 594 miles Now, factoring out BCS bowl games, because fans will travel no matter what- 439 miles Big 10: Michigan State- East Lansing, MI -----> Pasadena, CA 2212 miles, 31 hours Wisconsin- Madison, WI -----> Orlando, FL 1304 miles, 19 hours Iowa- Iowa City, IA ------> Tampa, FL 1269 miles, 18.5 hours Nebraska- Lincoln, NE -----> Jacksonville, FL 1338 miles, 19.5 hours Michigan- Ann Arbor, MI -----> Tempe, AZ 1957 miles, 29 hours Minnesota- Minneapolis, MN -----> Houston, TX 1177 miles, 17 hours Ohio State- Columbus, OH -----> Miami, FL 1152, 17 hours Average Distance Traveled- 1487 miles Without BCS bowls- 1409 miles Final thoughts: Obviously you can't change geography, and the Big 10 is at a disadvantage when it comes to bowl traveling. The SEC, in my opinion, have a HUGE advantage when it comes to bowl selection. Some of the stadiums that the bowls are played in, some of the teams have played in before.. Georgia v Florida game is played in Jacksonville... Chick-Fil-A bowl, Georgia Dome. The average fan isn't going to fly, or drive cross country to watch a bowl game. But, if the game was an average of 439 miles away, and tickets running 30$, who wouldn't? If only bowl games weren't in Indy, Chicago, etc. That's my 2 cents.
  9. I love how Ed keeps saying " Georgia's fastest receiver is out with injury " I understand Aaron Murrey was a hell of a QB, but you can only play the injury card for so long.. we have a long list of injuries too..
  10. I hope every SEC team get killed. Go iowa and wisconsin .... man it hurt to type that So true.. I don't mind cheering for Wisconsin.. but Iowa..:
