marcmc99 I have no idea how you came up with that! Anyway..... I didn't realize that the Florida vs Tenn game was on CBS after ours. A little later however, 6pm Mountain I believe! :thumb: I'll be very interested in seeing that game also
I figure Leak will tear them to shreds. I hope so anyway. I've hated Tenn ever since old Johnny Majors got the shaft in favor of fat boy.
Not to mention fat boy blowing the lid on Bama, what a tattle tail! :dis: I just looked, Bama plays against Tenn on Oct 23rd. Do you think there is extra incentive for Bama to beat Tenn? :lol:
No doubt about it. Bama beats Tenn, then Croom comes in and gets a little revenge on Bama. Things have a way of evening out, especially in the SEC. At least I hope so! :wink:
