SEC pride: Should Georgia fans pull for Alabama in the BCS?
On this week’s “Bulldog Hotline” call-in show, an interesting discussion came up about whether Georgia fans should be playing the SEC pride card when it comes to the upcoming BCS national championship game.
Program host Neil “Hondo” Williamson was on the SEC bandwagon, noting he’s pulling for Bama to demolish the Irish and win a seventh straight BCS title for the Southeastern Conference.
However, a caller to the show pointed out that while Georgia doesn’t recruit against Notre Dame, it does go up against the Crimson Tide for quite a few players, especially the top-rated ones from our own region.
Another national championship for Alabama certainly won’t help with that. That crystal football trophy and those national championship rings tend to make a big impression on high school kids trying to decide where they want to play.
Indeed, this SEC pride thing can be tricky. A couple of years ago a lot of Georgia fans pulled against Auburn in the BCS game, not just because we didn’t want the Tigers to get a recruiting advantage, but because the manner in which they’d won the SEC, with their rent-a-QB and dirty play, left a lot of bad feelings.
But when it comes to Alabama, I’m not sure another national title is really going to make that much difference in terms of recruiting. This would be the Tide’s third BCS championship in the past four years so it’s not like they don’t already have that advantage.
Plus, Mark Richt’s Bulldogs impressed a lot of people nationally with their down-to-the-wire effort against the Tide in the SEC Championship, the most-watched college football game of the season, and if you’ve got to lose a game like that, it goes down a bit better to have done so to the eventual national champ.
And then there’s all the whining the Big 10 and PAC 12 folks have done about the SEC’s dominance. That’s music to the ears of many Southern football fans.
Of course, there’s another factor that has to figure into this: Bama’s BCS opponent.
Some Auburn fans will go to any extreme to oppose the Crimson Tide.
It’s somewhat understandable that Auburn folks would be pulling for Notre Dame since they hate the Tide every moment of their existence (though I can’t believe AU fans actually would wear one of those WarIrish shirts someone is selling).
But it’s hard to see any true follower of the Red and Black ever pulling for the Fighting Irish, no matter who their opponent is or what the recruiting ramifications are. I even rooted for Steve Spurrier’s Gators when they played Notre Dame in a bowl back in the early ’90s!
What about you? Are you hoping Alabama brings the SEC another national title or would you like to see Nick Saban vanquished by destiny’s darlings, as ESPN touts them?

I have never been on the “root for the SEC in the Bowls” bandwagon. And I wouldn’t want FLA, BAMA, AU, or any SEC fans cheering for us. It’s fake and who cares that the SEC wins. Everyone already knows we are the best conference. I want my team to win and I especially don’t want our rivals to win and all SEC teams are our rivals.

I would also keep quiet about the Bama player who took the cheap shot on Murray so he can play against Notre Dame. His payback will come on the field one day anyway.

Generally you pull for the team you lost to unless you are in a division race. It sounds a lot better to say you lost to the eventual champion rather than the runner up.
As far as recruiting, I would be inclined to think this past weekend’s performance narrowed the gap in terms of recruits’ perception of the two programs. Having 4 first round draft picks isn’t going to hurt either.

i normally want the sec teams to win, but i think that alabama is destined to embarass the conference because they won’t be able to run the ball on nd like they did against us unless they are allowed to “hold” like the refs allowed against us. a true champion should be able to win without cheating, and most times a champion will have to defeat the officials along with the other team. i have witnessed most of the other sec teams pull against Georgia, tnn. and fla. in particular, so i really don’t feel much loyalty to conference schools anymore.

I’m pulling for the Irish, but that is only because my dad went to school there. UGA became my team after started classes in Athens, and I’ve been a as big a Georgia fan as there is for a long time now (graduated in ‘06). But I did grow up cheering on Notre Dame, and obviously my dad still follows them closely, so I do keep tabs on what is going on in South Bend.
If Bama was playing any other school, I would be hoping they win. But in this case, GO IRISH!

Yes, I will pull for the most over rated team in all of sports. The 1 with the 10 year 1 billion dollar T V contract, that should have lost to Standford on the bad T D call on 4th down, that played 3 overtimes against a 4-5 unranked Pittsburg and 3 other close games against nobody teams. Surely I won’t pull for the team that put up 350 yards rushing (a SEC Title game record), put a hit on a QB turned defender after the pick that still makes my heart pump crimson, and showed the world that 11 NFL worthy (what ever…HA) defenders, can’t stop BAMA when they tell them, hey, we are gonna run the ball the rest of the game, just try and stop us, with your 11 point advantage at home. So, yes I’m an idiot and I will pull for the Irish

Very interesting question. I rooted against Auburn and Florida when they played for the national championship but that is based on deep seated and long standing HATE for both teams. For whatever reason, most Dog fans don’t seem to feel the hate for Bama that they do for other schools and I think it goes back to gredging respect for the program back in the Bear Bryant days. I never really hated S. Carolina before Spurrier – had to admire thier fans for supporting what use to be a mediocre-at-best program which has now become an unquestionably mediocre program. Agree with you that the effecto on recruiting here is there even if Bam doesn’t win so I’m pulling for them. As much as people hate the Irish, didn’t they give us a National Championship trophy back in 81 when there was no such official trophy? Hard to hate that kind of sportsmanship.

As a loyal Bulldog their is only one team in the SEC that I will never pull for and that is Florida. If Florida was playing a game against the Taliban, I would pull for the Taliban. Already, after only 2 years at Florida, Muschamp has begun the tradition started by Spurrier of having a big mouth. Glad to say he has yet to beat us.

Why didn’t Georgia wear their black jerseys for the SEC Championship Game against Coach Saban?
It might have helped them. (They worked so well last time.) L O L !
Is Georgia saving those for a special occasion, like when they play in the Burger King Chico’s Bail Bonds Bowl later this month?
Are they saving those black shirts for UGA’s now-annual funeral after Bama wins the SEC?

Only a bunch of sore-loser haters like those drunks over at Clark County Correctional & State University at Athens would rather have an arrogant, self-entitled cesspool like Notre Dame (a now semi-ACC school) win the BCS National Championship over THE Flagship Football Program School of the entire SEC.
If USA was playing a winner-take-all football game against Communist China (also wearers of “Bulldog Red”), with the winner getting the entire United States land mass, you know you would want Coach Saban and The University of Alabama Crimson Tide to represent our country in football and save America over Notre Dame or UGA.
If UGA played for our nation, everybody would need to start getting used to eating Panda Express for every meal.

I hate loud mouthed chest beating fans. Absolutely hate it. As a Bama fan I do not consider the blow hards that come on here and gloat to be any “brother” of mine. The only thing we have in common is the support of the team on the field. I would suggest to try and not let the interweb warriors influence one’s total outlook on an entire fan base. It’s not even remotely close to being accurate. For the record, the Dawgs would have had my full support if Bama would have lost. Some of my best life long friends are Dawg fans and although I was thrilled with the win, I really felt their disappointment after the bitter loss. I got no personal joy from their disappointment. I know how important the game was to Dawg fans and I understand why.
Roll Tide!
Go Dawgs!

Don’t believe a loss by either team is going to help GA in the final rankings even if GA beats NB. AL fans on these blogs have defended the hit on AM and that doesn’t sit well w/most of us. Never liked ND and have pulled for the SEC in most games especially the NC. Tough choice but I guess in the end you side w/those in your neighborhood over outsiders. However, would like to see Man-sized Tao put a smack on some AL players, just to remind them the door swings both ways.

Bruce,
Cheering for a conference is what UGA fans and other underachieving programs have to resort to, because their team cannot stand on its own merits. This is a behavior they have now handed down through generations out of necessity, thus there has been an evolution that has adapted to long term and seemingly permanent mediocrity.

I will pull for Bama, I like the SEC dominance thing, it helps all of us in recruiting. But i want to comment on the “cheap shot” . I have a bigger issue with the refs than I do the kid that hit Murray. The refs were allowing holding on almost every play, looking the other way for Bama. It only goes that they got caught up in ignoring penalties when a flagrant one happened. The refs should be fired, they have a responsibility.

This is kind of tough for me. Normally I would automatically pull for a SEC team. However this time there is a guy and his wife at work that live no more than 30 mins away from Athens that has took it upon themselves to the top 2 Bama fans in the state. Of course I don’t remember them being Bama fans before Saban arrived. I was leaning towards the Irish just because of them until I asked those two huge Bama fans what’s their QB’s name? Who is that freshman RB? Who’s leads the team in sacks? When they couldn’t answer any of those questions, I disregarded them as real fans…I guess I will pull for the Tide.

I’ll pull for Bama as I respect their players and coaches. Their reactions after the game, i.e paying respect to Georgia, the atmosphere, the game itself, is worthy. I’m not so sure about their fans. I really hope that the “fans” calling into the Paul Finebaum show, other radio shows, many of the ones posting, etc. are not representative of the Alabama fan base as a whole. I’ve never heard such a spoiled, whiney bunch. I’ve heard one fan give Georgia credit, most seem angry that the game was close and claim the reason it was close is because the refs are blatantly against them. What really fires me up is I’ve heard many attempt to defend Hick’s hit on Murray. Their inability to understand why McGarity would want the play reviewed by the head office baffles me.

If Georgia had 30 more seconds on the clock they may have won the game and they would be going to the National Championship game. If Alabama beats Notre Dame then that makes the Close score with Georgia more relevant. If Alabama blows out or beat Notre Dame by more than 10 point then that proves how sorry the BCS rankings are and especially the computer part of those rankings that were so influential in getting Notre Dame and Florida where they ended in the BCS rankings.
I want Alabama to beat Notre Dame like a rented mule to prove just how good the 6 teams that ended in the top 10 of the BCS from the SEC really are.
As Herb said on ESPN Game Day , Divide the money any way you want but match up the best teams in the BCS not these stupid tie ends. I would love to see Oregon play one of the top ten SEC teams or Kansas State or Oklahoma. Make the Bowl game exciting again. Nobody anticipates a # 5 ranked team playing a # 16 but they would if the # 5 was playing a #7 team.The best match up is the Fiesta Bowl and the Championship game. The Capital One game would have been great if Nebraska hadn’t given up 70 points in the game with Wisconsin.

Personally, I want my team to face the best competition, in the toughest conference. If that means rooting for another SEC team, then so be it.
I’ve always pulled for the SEC in bowl season, with the exception of AU a few years ago. I believed they showed a lack of class throughout the season, and I was embarassed to be associated with them.
I have no ill will toward Alabama. They played a tough, hard fought game against UGA, and came out on top. They handled their victory with sportsmanship and dignity, and I’ll be rooting for them in the BCS.

They are th most overrated team that ESPN just loves to talk about, just like USC. Notre Dame had so many horrible calls go there way, and STILL needed a Pitt player to choke in order to get to the NC. I think I will just root for neither and end my football watching on Jan 1st.

I grew up with Alabama being my second favorite team. When they weren’t playing the Dawgs, I pulled for them. In my two visits to Tuscaloosa, they were some of the nicest fans I had ever been around. I have even got new respect for Coach Saban. I have seen a different side of him as he was very congralutory of the Dawgs, and even went to bat for us publicly about the bowl situation. I respect him and their players and I really can’t stand Notre Dame.
However, the Bama fan base has changed. Listen to call-in shows sometime. There is not a more in your face, obnoxious, arrogant fansbase around right now. Not to mention how the radicals have now become the mainstream of their fanbase. I am gonn try to pull for Bama in this game because of things i mention above but it will be difficult given their fanbase.

The SEC, as a conference, gets a huge payout with a BCS championship and the SEC has programs to disperse that money throughout the entire conference for athletics and scholarships.

Alabama won the game fair and square. We just fell five yds short and lost, bad calls against both sides,
even had Murray spiked the ball, we all know Georgia was gonna run a pass play, that pass could have been tipped just like the play that was run. It’s painful but it is, what it is, a loss.

I support a team, the Georgia Bulldogs. It’s nice that the SEC has been dominant as a conference and in some ways that may work to our advantage in the polls; however, the issue of supporting any SEC team against anyone else is bogus. It will be interesting to see whether ND can hold it’s own against the Tide; but, I don’t care all that much who wins because I don’t like either one of them. Some day the SEC streak will be broken and it it’s Bama that loses, so be it.

Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity includes several pages of extremely complex mathematical equations that have an infinite number of mathematically possible solutions, although the majority of those solutions have no real world physical possibilities. An elite team of physicists and mathematicians have recently completed the analysis of 1,000,000,000 sets of solutions, and they’ve made some startling discoveries.
In the sports world, one of the solutions appears to allow the Georgia Bulldogs to win the SEC and the BCS championships with Mark Richt at the helm. However, the scientists caution that the possibility of this happening is approximately 1 in 182,942,892,048. If Richt is not there, the odds increase by a factor of 1,000,000,000.
Since no one has yet found a flaw in Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity, it would appear that Richt must go.

I wish more Georgia fans were “in the know” about how many times Notre Dame was given a national championship by northern voters over more deserving teams over the years. By the way, “Rudy” was convicted of being a part in a scam.
Any true, proud southerner ( who is not Catholic ) should never-ever pull for Notre Dame. It makes me sick to my stomach to hear other Georgia fans being pro-Irish. Not to mention those Auburn fans sporting Irish-Tiger crap. Seriously people? Really? All they do is make fun of southern folk. But, I guess there really isn’t a fix for stupid. Just read the ND football posts…. If you read them, then you’ll know what they think of us back wood, knuckle crawlers…
I once was on a flight to Chicago where the plane would eventually end up in South Bend, IN. I’ve never seen so many ugly, fat, and downright unpleasant folks that were headed to South Bend. Not only that, they seemed to try to out do each other in passing gas on that flight. Sad people…

Personally, I don’t care who wins this game. However, as a UGA fan, I certainly do not want to see Alabama keep getting better and building a dynasty. I also don’t want to see LSU, UFla, or SC get any better. We compete against these teams every year- if not on the field, at least in positioning for bowls- and we compete against them EVERY DAY for recruits. I have never understood this SEC family bandwagon mentality. It is already proving to be extremely difficult for UGA to reach the level some of these other SEC teams are at now. Five other SEC teams have won the national championship since the last one we won – even Tennessee. I wonder if the Vols are pullling for BAMA to win yet another one.

Our Defensive coordinator once again gave up 30 points in game where we played a ranked team
Who didnt recruit the needed scholarship players last year
Who continues to not take penalities seriously bama had 2 we had 7
who continues to not take the special teams seriously with another key missed field goal
we still have fundamental issues with proper tackling and it showed in that game
we continue to not recruit top OL men
I will say Richt and Bobo had a good game plan for this one the only problem I had in the game I would have used the TE a lot more throughout the entire game and ran Marshall more than 2 times but the above issues must be addressed which i know he wont do

Never been a fan of Bama. However, by listening to all the ND fans you would have thought that they have been a top 10 program for the past 15 years instead of bottom feeders. Six teams in the SEC can EASILY beat ND.
Bama better beat the Irish out of them and send them packing. They need to win by a minimum of two TD’s.
If not the ND people will claim a moral victory and Urban Cetera will beg and plead for 1st place votes.

It is the combination of Bowl victories and National Championship that make the SEC number 1.
I believe the Tide will beat Notre Dame by at least 14 points.

Hi Bill. So since a REAL team won the SEC championship Dawg fans should root for Notre Dame. A unit which could not defeat any team in the genuine Top 10. With the possible exception of the choke prone Dawgs. I want the SEC – South – to continue total national dominance of major college football. Any Dawg fans that root for ND can go straight to Hell. Do not curse Bama cause the Dawgs did not man up and get tough when it counted most. No Hail Mary forgiveness chants here buddy boy!

There are some Alabama fans on this board who make me glad I’m not rooting for them when I root for Alabama against Notre Dame. Oh, well, they probably live in single wides, have one tooth, and used to be married to their cousin.
Most of the Alabama fans I personally know are first class folks; to be fair, and to their credit, they live in Georgia (mostly) which gives them points, too.
I will admit to liking the Alabama program, and how they play football. That doesn’t mean I didn’t want us to beat the snot out of them. Since we didn’t, I will root for them in their title game. I would also root for any SEC team in the title game. I mean, come on, are you going to root for the ACC?
I might root for Notre Dame if they were playing…well, heck, I can’t right off think of…well, I wouldn’t root for Notre Dame unless they were playing the Taliban.
I don’t blame Alabama for the sometimes very bad officiating.
Besides, it’s too our advantage to have Alabama win.
I hope our coaches and team are thinking about Nebraska, but it’s okay for us fans to have these fun discussions.

True Dawg fans know that Mark Richt is no mental match for the sideline masterminds at Alabama, LSU, Florida, South Carolina or Mississippi State. I am sure this list will grow as other SEC teams hire new head coaches. As a diehard Dawg fanatic of over half a century I have no confidence in for my beloved college football team. Not with Saint Mark Richt who I consider soft and uncaring in charge. Great teams win the game against Bama. Average teams play above average then embrace a close defeat. I am just too damn old to care about moral victories! 1980 seems so long ago. Sigh.

Georgia is 1-11 vs. top 10 teams since 2009. I will repeat this fact in every blog until next fall, because some dawg fans actually think we are actually close to a championship of any kind with Marky Mark Richt as “coach”. I can’t really call him a “coach” because he fails in every big game, and relies on pure talent against the weaklings of the conference. That’s why South Carolina steamrolled us this year, LSU last year. Then we have to barely squeek by the likes of Kentucky and Tennessee just to get in a spot to contend for a championship and what does Richt do? Lose to an Alabama team that arguably played their worst game of the year. Yes, the score was close, but Alabama threw an int on our 3 yard line, had a field goal attempt blocked and ran back for 7 points, and mismanged the clock at the end of the first half, making them settle for a field goal instead of a touchdown. That is 18 points left on the board right there at least. Why does anyone think we even had a chance anyway? Saban is a WINNER and RICHT is a LOSER. That is the difference, If we played this game 10 times (contrary to popular belief) Alabama would have won 9 of them, with Georgia’s win having to come in a game Alabama makes even more mistakes then this game (which is rare). I don’t think we would have beat Notre Dame anyway, they are coached by Chip Kelly…they play defense, they are disciplined, have power on both lines, and don’t commit turnovers often. Also, they are almost impossible to run against, so good luck winning a game with Aaron Murray airing it out against a good defense….LOL. Seriously, what about 1-11 vs. top 10 teams do y’all not understand? What is it about Richt winning 0 championships in the last 7 years do y’all not understand? Do you not care Richt gets 3 million a year to produce this horrendous track record?

Rabun dawg, have you ever considered that you don’t have to root for either of them? I’ll be damned if I’m going to root for a team who’s players were making fun of UGA this afternoon.
You can make all the excuses you want to make yourself feel better about being a no good traitor but that’s exactly what you are. It’s even more of a disgrace that a 40 year season ticket holder would so easily turn on his own school.
I don’t care who you are, if I walk into a bar and see a man, woman, or child wearing a UGA shirt and cheering for the enemy, I’ll slap that mozzarella stick right out of their mouth.

Snoop will definitely be rooting for the Crimson Tide to beat ND and keep the SEC streak alive.
It is not Alabama’s fault that the Dawgs lost and will be watching instead of playing.
The defense went AWOL inthe second half. To make it worse, the lousy time management by Bobo and Richt doomed the Dawgs. I hold no ill feelings over Alabama. It came down to the fact that Alabama has a superior coaching staff compared to UGA.
That is why the Bulldog Nation will be in Orlando rather than Miami…

Enemy? Moist Dawg says “Enemy?” I tell you what–you go experience what it’s like to make contact with a real enemy and then tell me what you think of your fellow citizens who just happened to have earned their degree at a neighboring state’s school. Don’t forget that for all the excitement and energy, football is just a GAME that is played by a very small number of students. I’d watch that talk about traitors and slapping children.

Roll OVER Tide! Not roll tide. That will once again be you calling card. I despise you obnoxious bas—ds! Be careful of the people you meet on the way up, for you will meet them again on the way down. Football runs in cycles, and your turn at the bottom will come again soon enough. Enjoy your four touchdown win over Notre Dame; Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Texas A&M, and LSU could do the same. Again, enjoy it again while you can you verbal diarrhea spouting, disrespectful jerkoffs!!!

I normally pull for the SEC team in the post season, and the reason why is as long as the SEC knocks-off other conference opponents, it makes OUR conference look better, stronger. This means that if you have 3 or 4 teams at the end of the season with 1 or 2 losses, the SEC team will hopefully get the nod for one of the top 2 spots. Bottom line, as long as NC’s keep being won by the SEC, it gives UGA an advantage in future BCS polling’s.

Suitcase Saban showed some decent class after our game with him. Except for one play, it was a clean contest between two opponents who were respectful of one another.

Season’s over, and all Dawgs I know want to know about next year. Murray probably enters draft, so now what? Does Richt stand by his promise to Mason for hanging around. If so, it’s a throw away year. Defense will take at least a year to absorb losses, so Richt should get Ramsey ready to compete for starting job in the spring. Ramsey set to enroll in January. If Mason starts in 2013, then 2014 rolls around and defense is ready but Ramsey is a rookie. This is a recipe for failure past 2013. Mark Richt must put the University of Georgia FIRST, and his playing favorites to individual players, well he should not be playing favorites. If Mason wins job on merit, fine. Problem is, he is not top tier SEC QB material. Mark Richt can not weather failure past 2013. Mark Richt is on a very short rope, I don’t care what McGarity says publicly, expectations are not easing up on Richt’s team, just because he is losing good players. Richt will be expected to compete for a title again in 2014, no matter what B.S. excuses he spreads between now and then. If he really wants to stay at Georgia, he should do what is in the best interest of the university. Ramsey is awesome already, have seen him play, and on ESPN’s Elite 11 comp. Ramsey already has the skills that it takes to be a top QB in SEC. If Richt does not do what is in the UGA program’s best interest, he will not survive this rebuilding.

I don’t know if I “should” pull for Alabama, but I will. Not because of any “SEC pride,” though.
I just can’t pull for Notre Dame because I have no emotional attachment to that university. It’s hundreds of miles away, I don’t know anyone who ever went there, I can’t remember the last game of theirs I watched, etc. Alabama, however, is right next door, I see their games all the time, and I know a lot of people who went there. To me, it just makes more sense to cheer for Alabama in my situation.

Absolutely I will pull for Bama vs Notre Dame. It was a great game that came right down the wire – we lost to the eventual national champions.

Good grief. How stupid is that completely invented concern that any coach would make a decision based on “promises” to ONE player, and not what is best for the other 100 players, thier families, his staff and thier families, his job, his livelyhood, his desires to win, his boss, his family, the boosters, and the millions of fans? geeez.
Aside from he fact that there has never actualy BEEN a case of Richt putting favoritism of a single player in front of the good of the program, you have no idea who his “favorite” players even are.
Actually, from a football standpoint, it’s really pretty easy to figure that out. It’s who ever gives the team the best chance to win.

According to many on these blogs and elsewhere, Mason is plenty good enough to take over if Murray goes Pro. He has been in the system 3 years and knows the offense. We could be a juggernaut on offense next year. The line and Gurshall will be better.

Mason is the one who was looking for options. The coaches didn’t go to him and ask him to redshirt in exchange for some promise of starting. It was the obvious best interest for eveybody. No promises needed to be made, It was a no brainer. But had he truly wanted to transfer, he would have been fully supported by the staff, and assisted in doing so.

As an Auburn fan I am definately pulling for ole Notre Dame. But if Georgia would have won the SEC, I would still be pulling for Notre Dame. Of course I hate Alabama a lot more being from north Alabama. Many Auburn fans closer to Athens probabaly hate the dawgs more. I didn’t like the Cam Newton jabs taken in this article. The whole rent-a-QB thing. Cam Newton is an Auburn Man who loves Auburn. He is known to give NFL footballs away to Auburn fans sitting in the stands at Caolina Panthers games. He most recently did it on Mondaynight football against the Eagles. And also if we are talking about renting things, what abouth the Greenbay Packers logo you have on the side of your helments??? Is that not embaressing?? Highschooll teams like to coppy pro and college team logos. It’s real cute

I grew up with Alabama being my second favorite team. When they weren’t playing the Dawgs, I pulled for them. In my two visits to Tuscaloosa, they were some of the nicest fans I had ever been around. I have even got new respect for Coach Saban. I have seen a different side of him as he was very congralutory of the Dawgs, and even went to bat for us publicly about the bowl situation. I respect him and their players and I really can’t stand Notre Dame.
However, the Bama fan base has changed. Listen to call-in shows sometime. There is not a more in your face, obnoxious, arrogant fansbase around right now. Not to mention how the radicals have now become the mainstream of their fanbase. I am gonn try to pull for Bama in this game because of things i mention above but it will be difficult given their fanbase.
Dawg Alum, suit yourself. But talk shows and anonymous blogs are hardly a scientific samplings. They, instead, can be a freak show. Great game last week. Please give Bo Pellini something else to rage about.
