Go Cardinal! Go Cardinal!

Can we just skip ahead to FSU winning the championship in Pasadena?

No. There’s still a lot of football to play between now and then, and I don’t want to miss a single week of it.

ROLL TIDE!

Announcement regarding cumulative scoring

If after the conference championships there is one winner in the cumulative scoring, I’ll pay for a prize. A small one like a coffee mug or a T-shirt from Amazon. One caveat: whatever it is must have a college logo. The winner can choose that logo.  
edited to add: **Oak** , why don’t y’all come down to the plains and say that. We will give you a most inhospitable welcome. 🙂

Now Bo. Let’s not jump ahead of ourselves. We haven’t exactly been free of the “lose one you shouldn’t” disease lately. I’m just happy that, if we win out, we should control our own destiny (I just can’t see anybody below us jumping us, but I’d still like to see tOSU lose to lock things up).

Demon Deacons, look out! The 'Noles are coming to town and we’re gonna be hungry!

The good news; I am .500 with my predictions. The bad news: I have to root for LSU this weekend.

Did you see what we did to Tennessee, today? Beat them like a red headed stepchild.
