Redemption: My Tigers are SEC champs!

[thatcrazycajun]

Playing the U of Tennessee Volunteers right here in No-Longer-So-Hotlanta at the Georgia Dome this afternoon, my alma mater's Division I-A NCAA men's football team made up for their inability to pull out a victory against Arkansas last week (even with triple overtime, something NCAA teams didn't have when I was in school) by beating the Vols 21-14 and winning the Southeastern Conference championship. My local paper reports the story here.

At a minimum, they're guaranteed a slot in this year's Sugar Bowl in New Orleans on New Year's Day...and if luck is with them (meaning if Missouri and West Virginia both lose their games today), they still have a slim chance to be playing the same field again six days later in the BCS Championship Game. And if even better luck is with them, all those rumors head coach Les Miles is so frantically trying to quash of his planning to quit LSU and go coach at Michigan won't be true, and the Tigers will have him calling the shots again next season.

Re: Missouri and West Virginia.

Wish Granted.

Bah. I didn't expect to beat the Bayou Beauzeaux.... OTOH, giving them a fight will make it look good for the BCS, and furthermore, West-bigod and Boomer Sooner both went down to defeat, so.... if you do make it, I hope you beat the snot out of Ohio State....

It was announced yesterday that Les Miles has agreed to terms with LSU so that he'll stay there. Don't have an exact reference to point you to, though.

Woot!

Will we see you at either ASFS or Signe's Saturday?
