Both teams made mental errors, but, in the end Hog fans were pretty dang happy that y'all brought the B team defense. I thought it was an amazingly entertaining game, even if the broadcast crew was a little loopy.<br /><br />I'm ready for a playoff system, too. I don't like it when computers try to tell me how to spell or construct a sentence, and I don't like it any better when they try to rank football teams without an intuitive element. It's like an old Star Trek computer vs human or Spock (logic) vs Kirk (emotions) premise. The sooner a playoff system is instituted, the better.<br /><br />On a personal note, an LSU vs TCU bowl would be VERY interesting at Moogie's. SIL is a rabid Tigers fan, having been born in NOLA and having most family still there, but he's also a TCU grad and is defensively passionate about the Frogs. If those teams were to play, his head might explode and Elder Daughter would be a premature widow!<br /><br />Finally -- WHAT DeANNA said!!!!Moogie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05665429537064900337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-11392247746939524112010-11-27T23:43:00.677-06:002010-11-27T23:43:00.677-06:00Hey y'all!

Excellent effort. It was, of course, a game with blown chances, and calls that could have shifted the tide. But, that's football...you lace 'em up, and USUALLY the best team wins.<br /><br />And, The Hawgz were the best team on the field today. Sure, they got some breaks, but that's football. They showed up ready to play...overcame mistakes...and did it against a VERY good 10-1 team. Congrats.<br /><br />Dadman...I have LONG been an advocate of a playoff. I honestly think it would be much better for the game. And, I also think that it would end up just about like it does now with the BCS. But, the difference is that the "game" would decide it all, and not morons with a vote. I really do think that almost all of the former BCS champs would have ended up champs in a playoff...but nobody would have any room to bitch.<br /><br />Dan, I'm sorry that I forgot to rank the Commodes. But, I'd bet that they could beat dang near everybody in the Mountain West, or the WAC. If they didn't have to play in the SEC, I'm sure they'd be bowl eligible every season.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193860341876403275.post-78736124092203199522010-11-27T21:04:13.942-06:002010-11-27T21:04:13.942-06:00All I have to say is....
