Without the blood and courage of Tennesseans, there would be no Texas. Period.

Sam Houston - from Virginia
William Travis - from South Carolina
Jim Bowie - from Kentucky
David Crockett - from Tennessee. He brought the 12-man "Tennessee Mounted Volunteers" with him, after telling everyone who would hear that they could all go to hell, and he would go to Texas. (He disowned his state - look it up).

There were also men from Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana, and all over the East. The Tenn. Volunteers were simply the most famous, given their leader's popularity. FYI - the First "President" of the Republic of Texas was from New Jersey. So, I'm not really sure how accurate your statement is. But - you should probably drive to downtown Austin and make that claim to test it...

I've made that claim in bars throughout the Lone Star State. I'm still standing. Now, go back to your little Brady Quinn/Fat Charlie/Touchdown Jesus board and commiserate about the a$$ beating Michigan cashed in your overrated team.

So that is how an intelligent discussion is going to go? I don't remember attacking Tennessee during that post...

Ohio St.- Best team in the nation. Would love to see ESPN cry that their baby got beat.
Notre Dame- What can you say hear except that i absolutely hate them and i want a rematch.
Cal- Once is good Twice would be SWEET. CAL SUCKS.

1. USC- media darling
2. Notre Dame -media darling
3. Miami -former media darling but would be if they get back to the top.

I love games where all the hype is on the other team, kinda like the 1986 Sugar Bowl. I wasn't old enough to remeber that (I was 2) but my old man told me it was so sweet, because Miami thought they were going to kill us.

i remember well and for years had a beta tape of the game, outstanding win/game. my son was 5 years old and for the next two years everytime we tossed football it was ut vs canes in sugar bowl, guess who won each and every time?? as to rivals it is FLA,FLA,FLA, and then FLA. i would rather lose to saddam hussein and his republican guard 11 than FLA!

1. Texas -- I'm tired of gettin' into arguements of who the REAL UT is down here. A win against Texas would really shut folks up down here and I would have bragging rights. :)

2. Notre Dame -- Uh, everyone know's this one. They're overrated AND the media gives them foot massages, even if they lose. I just want to see UT blow 'em out.

3. Florida -- Don't we all want another crack at 'em?

# 1) USC- I'm so sick of hearing about their greatness. Last season, Espn was doing this big voter interactive story: Is 05 USC the best team ever? HaHa. guess what losers? they werent even the best team of 05. Pac10 is for pansies. We play tackle football in the South

#2) Notre Dame- Brady Quinn, Schmady Quinn. If anyone else had that kinda loss to Michigan, they would've been yanked from Heisman considerations faster than you can say "Brady Quinn's sister looks like a man"

#3) Michigan- I hate Michigan. A lot. Take your pick: 98 Heisman, media-driven superiority complex, ridiculously ugly helmets, Henne being promoted over Ainge, ..... how much time ya got?

It would've been too easy to pick an SEC team. We get our chances at them during the season if they're in the east and occasionally if they're in the west.

And USC wins national championships on the west coast. Heck, even when a southern team wins it USC comes in and takes half. :p
