I know when Auburn played Texas back in the day, the Auburn fans were some of the nicest people I have met. When my Dad went to Auburn, he said the fans greated them and said it was so nice to play Texas. My brother also said the USC fans at the Rose Bowl were very cordial, but stunned after the game. But its not like they were going to do a dance on your rear just cause they lost.

I will say the hookem horns sign down has gotten very, very old. Oklahoma has been doing it since time began.

I realize I have attempted to hijack this thread so I must say something about golf.

I still dont get how Tiger can swing so hard at the ball and still hit it straight. I love the Freddie Couples smooth effortless swing. But Couples(older) is injured and Tiger still swings away though much younger.

I wonder if that viscious swing will catch up to him in later years...
Ahhh he is probably doing some sort of Yoga and stretching to keep his back in tune?
Kev... is Tiger gonna die eventually swinging that hard?

Backs are funny things, I remember when Couples blew his out the first time warming up in Doral. He was at the peak of his career and top ranked player in the world and has never been the same since. Tiger is in such good shape that I don't know if he will ever be in the position to really do damage. I do know one thing, he will never hurt his back becaue he was out of shape, which is what the cause is more often than not. If he does hurt it, it will be from one of those freak things. Like when he cracked his ribs sneezing....

Oh sorry, I'm Sam not Kev.....

Pat, I think alot of it has to do with luck.

Im not a very big man by any means and I don't take a big rip at the ball when I am playing, yet I had back surgery at 33, with golf being the primary culprit of my bad back.

The swing that makes me cringe the most when I watch him is Rory Sabatinni. That "reverse C" finish to his golf swing is gonna land him in traction sooner or later.

Woody played great, no doubt about it. I hope his final round really brings out the best in him for future tournaments. That being said the interview was classic, some of the things he said were boarderline insane. He said he wanted Tiger to know someone else was on the course so he hyped up the crowd. Note to Woody, Tiger plays alone on Sundays when he has the lead
