Gosh..I hope I'm not rubbing it in.........buuuuut....




It seems LSU had problems winning...so they hired Saban...an Ohio coach...and won an NC.



Oklahoma did,too,,,,so they hired Stoops, an Ohio caoch....don't ya know....and won an NC.



So Flory-Dah got the right idea and hired an Ohio coach....and won an NC.






Interestingly enough...Ohio State hired a guy that did pretty well....but not quite good enough.....the Cooper guy....a Tan-ah-see coach. So they hired Tressel ,an Ohio coach, and won an NC.












Is this beginning to sink in?

You're doing fine work here. You really are.

Did ya know that over the past three seasons, while everyone has been oh so excited about the SECOND, and down on the mighty Big Ten, all that southern speed has failed to do so in seven of the eleven meetings between the conferences?
