oledawg, thanks for the thread. There will always be the element that throw in the towel when things get a bit off center. UGA has a very good football team, Alabama has a very good football team. Southern Cal has the greatest team that the game of football has seen, maybe ever. If that is the case, as the talking heads said up until the last few days, how were they beaten. You have the answer for that. . . .TEAM. TEAM means a lot of things to those that really care about the game. The TEAM consists of FANS as well as the players and coaches. Some folks that post carry a little too much piss and vinegar in my opinion. The same folks that watch football, but when the game is over can critique the game and post what should have been. Too much is put into the rating of football teams by folks that don't know any more about the game than the rest of us. Maybe not as much. Wonder what the Alabama folks thought about last years game, overtime loss. Same goes for us this year, hurts, but we don't jump on the TEAM. Go Dawgs!
