Maybe I'm the only one who cares...
... and since I haven't heard from Boss Hogg in a while, I'll pick up the slack. Hogs down LSU and should go to the Sugar Bowl. Crime if they don't. The house was rocking today, and my son and grandson were bouncing off the ceiling when the clock ran to :oo. I have to give the class act to Petrino for not ramming it down lsu's throat on the last play. That to me, was the epitome of class. Lsu played a good game, and there was no reason to rub salt into the wounds that already hurt by taking the easy last touchdown. I stand here now, proud to be a lifelong hogfan, and am holding my breath for a Sugar Bowl win. My son, a major in the air force even entertained us with a few comments on the Bush debacle, and Sarah Palins, er, "misspeak". Some good laughs never hurt during half-time. Thanks.

1. Congratulations!
Nice job, Hawgs. I hope you get to go to New Orleans - you won't if South Carolina pulls the upset, but I don't see that happening.

My Dawgs took down Georgia Tech for the 9th time in the last 10 games - and considering that they've come into this game all 10 years with a winning record, that's something. There were representatives from the Gator Bowl there tonight, and there's a faint chance that we could go there and play Penn State. While we'd probably get thumped, it'd still be a better trip and more exciting opponent than playing South Florida in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis.

3. I like the Dawgs.....
...and think they have some top-notch fans. Glad for your win, and I look to see you guys come out on top over Penn State. Not your best year, but you have a great coach who I see bringing you guys back into major play soon. Go Hawgs, Go Dawgs, Go SEC!!!! Thanks.

2. It is hard to judge
just how good LSU is. They won some games by sheer luck or the other teams stupidity,ie Tennessee. I believe they are a good team, but just how high they should really be rated is a question I still have.

That said, when a team manages to have luck or what ever on their side, it is not over until it's way over. The Mad Hatter seems to have a lot of things in that hat.

4. Agree.....
I was looking for him to pull a rabbit out of his hat, but good for us, we stood tall, and it didn't happen, but even with the questionable ranking, it did nothing but elevate my hogs rankings. I don't see the Gamecocks standing with Aubie. We handled them pretty easily, and I think Cam Newton will not let this team lose. I have to give it up to his talent. On the other hand yesterday was Ryan's ninth straight 300yd passing game. Thanks.

6. Some will never get over their dislike of our new coach....
"I will never respect Petrino for the way he shit on Louisville"

Petrino got a chance at the NFL, and found it was not for him. Can't blame him for taking the shot. Wouldn't you? I think he's found his place here at Arkansas, and believe he will prove himself capable of bringing the Razorbacks to national prominence soon, beginning with the Sugar Bowl this year unless Auburn lets us down against USC, which I don't think will happen. The negatives people hold against Petrino are diminishing and respect he is getting is growing. I agree there are people who will never stop being a Petrino hater, but their ranks are diminishing with each year at Arkansas. We do agree at least that he can "offense like hell". Thanks for the good luck comment.
