Well, it's been about 10 hours and no news out of knoxville. I guess you didn't get your wish. No doubt his "next twinkie" slithered down his gullet hours ago.

Better luck next time.

Hours? Really? You give him far more credit than I.

I said his 'next', not his 'last'.

MSNBC, opinion article by Ray Glier (Ray Glier writes regularly for msnbc.com and is a freelance writer):

So here is one of those sweeping generalizations that people loathe, you know, like the one about the SEC having more speed than the Big Ten. The SEC has more football players, more playmakers, than the Big Ten. The SEC doesn't just have more speed; it has more of everything.
...
Ohio State didn't flop. It just got worn out by better players.
...
[For LSU, it was] like having five guys on a basketball team who can score in double figures.
...
The playmakers are not the only thing that separate the SEC and the Big Ten. What about the bravado of the fans?
The clocking was ticking down and the full-throated fans started chanting 'SEC, SEC, SEC.'
You ever hear a crowd chant 'Big Ten, Big Ten'?? The passion of the SEC fans -- they always lead the country in attendance -- pays the big salaries to the coaches, who chase the big paycheck, and chase the big playmakers -- all of them it seems.

Opinion: LSU top team because it has no weaknesses - College football - MSNBC.com

I agree. Any OSU fan who blames Tressel for this loss is retarded. Even though the SEC is the best conference in college football, that doesn't take away anything from how great Tressel is doing at Ohio State. Right now, even after my LSU team's win on Monday, I would still vote OSU the #2 team in the decade behind USC (and that could change if OSU beats USC next year).

Commentary | college football: SEC is good, but not the Goliath some make it out to be

The other day, like millions of Americans, I watched college football's national championship game. Alas, I must have been watching on a broken TV.
I saw a team, Ohio State, outgain its opponent by 2 yards per play. I saw that same team lose anyway because its opponent, Louisiana State, played a much more disciplined, fundamentally sound game.
I saw LSU commit only one turnover while Ohio State essentially committed four: three that were official and one on a roughing-the-punter penalty that allowed LSU to keep the ball. I saw a Buckeyes field-goal attempt blocked. I saw Ohio State commit five -- yes, five -- personal fouls.
Based on all that, I had no doubt that LSU deserved to win.

Hey guys, i am a born and bread Buckeye from Worthington Ohio. I grew up selling cokes at the games and have worn scarlet and grey since I was a baby. I now live in Charlotte NC, and I am sick and tired of all the smack talking of the SEC radio hosts here about the Big Ten. I am putting together and e mail with some stats about the two leagues. I feel like the SEC fans use a very selective history to say they are the most dominant league. I am up for using any stats you guys might have. All time records between BIG Ten and SEC, not just in bowls. All time head to head in bowl records, total national titles between the leagues, players in the NFL etc. I want to put together some serious ammo to go against the Big Ten hating show. Thanks so much,

Here is a great article to look at too. MICHAEL ROSENBERG: The Big Ten is fine; don't buy into the SEC myth
