DOC,
I will confess, the withdrawl was most apparent just before kickoff. Hearing the Sanford noise, realizing that the day was perfect of football, I was in a bit of a funk! However, once Z tossed that INT, I was completely wrapped up in the game until the final second ticked off the clock. In hindsight I, like yourself, did not miss the travel time, the set-up/breakdown, the traffic and the return travel. Do I wish I still had my seats??? Hell YES, but looking into the amazingly sharp picture of this newly acquired plasma does help quell the void. Now I gotta get TiVo, so that I'll have digital recording and playback, to make the journey complete!
To answer the initial question,...We ARE that good and though we will receive similar strained recognition once we pluck the clucks, I'm thinking the UT game will have huge consequences and the Dawgs won't receive their "due" until then. Fine by me...better the role of the spoiler!!!!!!!!!
GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!
