what they are discussing on the internet. You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important.
More people must check this out and understand this side of the story.

It&#039;s surprising you&#039;re not more popular given that you certainly possess

		<description><![CDATA[Where have you gone Gonzo??? What happened to your insistance that Oregon and Arkansas were &quot;mirror images of each other&quot;? The only reference I can see to mirror image here ....... one is real and the other one fake. No more talk of seeing you at the Natty? Pack it in Gonzo ..... Arkansas is done. Currently the SEC has 4 over-rated teams ranked in the top 6. I find this very odd. 

Losing to Rutgers ..... really. That is downright embarrassing.

		<description><![CDATA[Personally, I hope that the SEC has another team in the NC, if merited, and I hope that we don&#039;t have both teams.  Last year was a strange turn of events.  Anybody else with a shot that could lose, did lose.
What the author fails to note in his article that supposes a conspiracy is that, in a BCS world, the conference does not control its own destiny in an unopposed fashion.  Will Buckeye fans root for Michigan over Alabama?  Logic says yes since that would most likely knock Alabama out of contention for the national title.  Did LSU playing the Ducks last year have an impact?  You bet it did.   
You know, the Sweater Vest understood all of this, and that&#039;s why the Buckeyes play a major non-conference team.  It&#039;s smart.  It can change the end of the season.  You need to win those games.
Ole Miss plays Texas this year, Missouri plays Arizona State, Vandy plays Northwestern, two SEC teams play Clemson, I wish the Aggies were keeping Texas on their schedule.  All of these games add up if SEC teams get beat, particularly the Michigan-Alabama game.
Big 10 fans don&#039;t need to dream of conspiracy theories, they just need their teams to win.
Between Michigan St, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska, some great things can happen this year.  Is there anyone that doesn&#039;t think that Urban will have the Buckeyes in contention within three years?  I&#039;m betting most in the SEC and elsewhere think he will.
So.....will Buckeyes root for Michigan in the Alabama game, or will they be so petty and shortsighted, looking for a Michigan beat down, that will only hinder the success of the conference?
Go HOGS, Go SEC.  Good luck to the Buckeyes.]]></description>
