Eleven Warriors

I just turned on College Gameday for the first time in about 2 years. They were doing a piece on Urban and his family contract. Once they went into the Cal matchup and showed Braxton highlights the delightful folks in Knoxville break out into the SEC chant. Amazing. Do they not honestly know where these SEC elite teams coaches come from? Do they not understand that before these guys came into their conference they were average?  I just don't get it. You just had a team from the West division(3 teams in top 10) lose to Louisiana Monroe at  HOME!  I wonder what they'll chant if Monroe shocks us again and beats Auburn tonight.  I also wonder how many games College gameday will do in SEC land?  The conference homerism I sort of understand, but chanting is ridiculous.  They just called Texas- Ole Miss a "historic matchup".   This is getting out of hand.

I know many of you couldn't care less, or don't want Notre Dame in the B1G. I for one do want them. I think when everyone goes to 14 teams we will be put into a tough spot finding quality teams. I love tradition in college football and want to keep that intact.  There is a part of me that thinks Jim Delany should pull all B1G games from Notre Dame and force their hand. I think without Michigan, Michigan State, and Purdue, Notre Dame loses out on tradition, and it hurts them more. Doing this would force them to join a conference IMO. I think they need those 3 games. I say we put the pressure on them to join a conference, and if it happens to be the ACC, good luck. I think its time we put the clamps on them. 

Just wondering if anyone knew when or  if we were going to hang up #10 for Troy Smith. I think it's weird to have guys on both sides of the ball wearing a Heisman winners Jersey number. Most other teams don't do that, so I was curious to see if anyone knew anything about this.  I know no one is wearing #15 at Florida, USC has Bush and Leinart's #'s retired. I think Alabama has a guy wearing Ingram's #22, which is weird for a school with only one winner.  I hope we will see Troy's number retired soon.      blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blaah blah blah blah blaah blah balh blh blah blah.
