A lot of those were Auburn fans though...
Either way, I missed that game and the party at Georgia Bar afterwards...and that sucks. Ha.

Why would Auburn fans be wearing red?

I just assumed it was Orange...

I was tailgating and was surprised by the amount of people wearing black. It definitely looked different seeing all the UGA fans in black instead of red.

I always thought it was strange that the sorority girls pretty much all wear black to the games. Looking through the pictures of the student section, it appears that most the students got it right. There was a big section across from the student section that had a lot of red.

Ahh well, either way, games there are always fun. I was at the Ole Miss one on the 29th of September. Nothing like tailgating at 9am

Yeah girls wear their black dresses, but I have also seen a lot of red dresses there. @ Auburn girls wear either blue or orange dresses

We woke up at 9 am on gameday and started playing beer pong with the leftover 1/3rd of a keg we stole from our friends neighbor

You're right. I think it's funny how down south everyone gets dressed pretty nicely for games, but up here even girls actually wear players' jerseys and paint their faces/midriffs

Girls will wear dresses and skirts to games here. That's why the south has hotter girls

Guys don't really dress up except fraternity pledges have to wear suit and ties to our games. Imagine wearing a suit to a 330 game in the beginning of September

<======= Already looking forward to next year. With so many upsets this year, it has opened the chance for some of the smaller teams to show their talent to the nation.

Illinois should be ranked in the pre-season come next Summer, thank you very much

Probably. Preseason polls are always 9 SEC teams, 7 Big Ten teams, then 1-2 each from the other conferences.

I saw a poll that said if Kansas goes undefeated only 59% said they should be in the NC game. Now I can almost understand denying Hawaii their chance, but Kansas is BCS, folks.

I also see that Jerry Palm (some CFB expert) says the Illini have a 25% chance of playing in a BCS bowl game.

If Kansas wins out they will go to the NC game. I think they will jump Oregon with wins over Mizzou & Oklahoma.

I am doing this bet straight up! And I already have $6 in my paypal account, and I figured a $6 bet would be odd

http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7449908?MSNHPHMA Good article on Heisman candidates, and he makes some great points. Yes, all 3 he mentions are SEC players, but he even admits he doesn't like the SEC.

With Dixon going down, I think Tebow really has a shot at this thing. I think he wins, and the first player to do it as a sophomore.

Yeah as long as Tebow doesn't have bust games then I think he has it. He'll tear it up next week, but shouldn't play the whole game.

He has a CBS day game vs. FSU to show off his talent one last game.

At that point, I think college football will finally have it right in giving it to the best player in the nation, not the best player on the best team in the nation.

If Tebow throws for over 250 against FAU with 3 TDs, and runs for at least 2TDs, and then continues that pace against FSU, then I think he has it.

First sophomore to win it!
