Barack Obama Elected President!

Hey now!! Don't be dissing the Dawgs!!!

We played Georgia Southern and led 38-0 almost to the end of the third quarter. We played 2s and 3s before the half and the trash points were scored against the majority of 3s in the third quarter. The score did not reflect how Georgia Southern was manhandled for the most part. I kinda hated beating up on Southern because it's a good school and m cousin is an athletic trainer for the Eagles.

hehe...We were preseason #1 and we're a pretty good team. Will we go all the way? Who knows but I certainly hope so! GO DAWGS!!

And to the person who said we are in a recession, it does have a specific definition and we are not technically in a recession. The technical indicator of a recession is two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by a country's GDP. We are in an inflationary period that I certainly hope ends soon. However, like the Great Depression, it's a global condition.

I'm not dissing the Mighty Dawgs!!!! Hell, it still has us pissed off from last year when they got screwed out of the National Title picture.

Oklahoma?! That bullshit!!

hehe...we knew we didn't ACTUALLY have a shot at the title with our two losses and not playing in the SEC championship (of course Mark Richt had to stand up for his guys and fight for it but we knew it was a looooong shot). The thing that got me was that we would have really enjoyed going to the Rose Bowl to play USC and that would have made two better bowl games by having USC - Georgia and then Hawaii - Illinois. That was crap that we didn't get the Rose Bowl invite. I still regret that...although the Sugar Bowl is always fun. You know what they say "Can't Spell Sugar Without UGA".

Maybe what she is saying, in a round-about way, is that he's been in D.C. for so long he's part of the problem. Too much of the establishment.

I'm still trying to figure out how Kansas, who got beat by Missouri in the Big 12 North Title game, played in the Rose Bowl and Mizzou got the Cotton Bowl?

I'm like, whose ass do you have to suck to get what is due your team?

[Dr. Jay S.W.]

Maybe I should have been clearer. This website shows what a liar/hypocrite/crooked politician she is.

[wiccachick_1]

What happened to Mizzou was just WRONG on so many levels (and if a Georgia guy doesn't get the Heisman then Chase Daniels would get my vote). I'm not a proponent of the current BCS system because so much depends on opinions and long standing associations of Bowl organizers and conferences. Why can't there be a playoff system between conferences?

and for the Palin comments about Biden. I'm not a fan of that. I was just complaining about that kind of politics. I don't want to hear what the "other" side has done or not done. It's up to them to tell me that. Tell me what YOU are going to do in office. Why do we have this trend of negative campaigning? I honestly think this two party system is destroying American politics.

I guess it's in the way she words it. Too bad she considers the Violence Against Women Act as inconsequential.

I don't know guys. I know first hand that sometimes things aren't always how they seem on the surface and the only people that know are the two involved and even they have radically different perspectives. When someone is critically injured like that it muddies the waters even more. Statistics say that as much as 80% of marriages where one of the spouses are permanently injured end in divorce. It's a difficult situation. I know from personal and direct experience.

I still don't understand why you wouldn't understand voting "with" Bush. I don't see how it's not obvious what he means. Duh, Bush doesn't vote.

I can understand how Palin said it. She said it to get the reaction and I don't think it's that big of a deal anyway. But there have been other Republicans who've repeated her story and said that she SOLD it on Ebay, and implied that somebody DID buy it on Ebay. Obviously they knew nothing about the situation and just were trying to say something cool.

[Wales2004]

I don't have an issue with his divorcing her if he wasn't going to be able to love who through sickness. I think it was only fair instead of living through a farce. What I do have a problem with (even though it's not my marriage) is the adultery. She had already been through enough with her waiting for him while he was a POW and her own accident and for him to cheat on her was despicable. That's basically what led to the fallout between him and the Reagans since Nancy Reagan really liked her.

Her heartbreak may always remain in some form but she was probably better off without him and I think they've put that behind them. It doesn't erase the cruel nature of it but things do happen. It would be wrong of him to criticize anyone for doing the same thing.

[Roman]

What may hurt the McCain/Palin campaign is now this thought process that the election is not about the issues, but about personalities, like what Rick Davis said. That can be turned into what it has been turned into.....sounding more like a popularity contest than a campaign on the issues facing voters.

The BCS is all screwed up. A playoff system would fix this entire mess, because with opinion creeping in to every ranking in CF, it screws some team out of a chance for the NT. I still remember Auburn going 11-0 one year, but did not compete for the National Title because it was said they didn't play anyone in the Top 25.

[wiccachick_1]

I don't condone adultry but again we weren't in the situation. We don't know the whole story. There is an extreme amount of pressure for the person in the marriage that wasn't injured. It's a miserable time and sometimes it can just be too much. It can be too hard and you are stuck in a situation where you don't want to be the "bad" guy but you are not living a good life. It's hard to meet the expectations of understanding that others have for you and that you have for yourself and sometimes you break. You run and it's not the right thing to do but I understand it.

[Roman]

In a perfectn world, it would be no one's business. Shoot, I know you have heard of all the women JFK was sleeping with while he was married to Jackie. The press is also a different breed now. This is such a tabloid society now that this stuff is of the utmost importance.

But on the other side, some may feel "Don't claim to spout morals and ideas above all else when you have failed yourself." Like TGVN said on Thursday's Y&R "You can tell alot about a man with what he does when no one is looking."

[Wales2004]

I think verbalizing it is even more of a problem. Who really wants to look at the process for selecting the highest office in the country as a popularity contest?
