    Amazing, I'm quite shocked because usually they don't give us the benefit of the doubt!

    I think it helped we took #1 to overtime. The talent is there...just not all at the same time.

    Benefit of the doubt Hell, we just took the #1 team in the nation to OT and dropped 5 spots? We're obviously very close to as good as the #1 team, we should have stayed put or they should drop Bama at least 5.

    Yes -- as weak a #1 as we'll find.

    I really appreciate what Matt Flynn and Matt Mauck brought to our football team.

    On another positive note, we have a great shot at a 10 win season.

    It would be great to end with 4 wins. GEAUX TIGERS

    Well its be over 24 hours since the lost and i woke up and I find out the world keeps going. I still have my family and friends with me. Looking back I have to say we are right where I thought we would be. I figured before the start of the season that we would have 2 maybe 3 losses. I figured we would lose to Florida and Georgia and thought the third one might slip up on us. I thought if there was a third it might be Auburn Telli Tubbies and not the NoBama's. They obvious better than we thought and the Tubbies just suck. If we win out its still a good season and we can get a good bowl. Probably the Cotton or Chick-Fil-A Bowl. The Cotton is a New Years Day bowl with more prestige and a better matchup but sucks at the time. Chick-Fil-A Bowl is a lot more fun as a fan and in the Georgia Dome with a weaker ACC team.
    With all that said I look back and think it sucks to have three losses but it could be worse. We could be the Michigan's or Tennessee's of this world.:rofl:
    And guess what WE ARE STILL THE DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPS:crystal:
