    I turned the game off as soon as I saw the initial play because I didn't feel like watching all the replays I was assuming they'd show. Seeing it once was enough.

    They didn't show the replay multiple times to show the guy's ankle break, they did it to show the fumble.

    What a gut-wrenching way for Ole Miss to lose, but then that happens a lot against Auburn it seems.

    How do you make 60,000 people simultaneously ask WTF just happened?
    That play.
    Wonder how many of those fans saw them tending to Treadwell and didn't even realize the play was being reviewed?
    That ending was like having Kate Upton staring naked at you with a come hither look, only to have a jealous Justin Verlander bean you in the back of the head with a 98 mph fastball.

    A question, though ... Could that, or should that, have been called a horse collar tackle? I know the defender got him by the jersey and dragged him down, but the effect was the same. He pulled him down from behind and fell on the guy's ankle. It was a textbook horse collar, except for the fact his hands weren't actually inside the shoulder pads.

    The way his body twisted, it looked like a horse collar tackle, but it wasn't. You have to tackle higher up on the body for it to be a horse collar. It was an unfortunate ending to the tackle, but he had him around the waist area and simply drug him down.

    Only a nice guy like Richt will throw a hack like Huston Mason out there to ruin a potential title team when he's got a couple of young guns that might actually know how to throw a ball accurately more than 12 yards.

    You don't mind stereotyping 83,000 people, do you?

    Mason threw for more than 300 yards without making a turnover. He's not a stiff.

    Now, for all the times 106,000 people in State College, Pa., have been stereotyped, I find that quaint.

    54 seconds of Spurrier. Poor guy.

    The fact that people STILL believe there is ANY tangible difference between 98 percent of the nation's fan bases is absurd.

    He's so burnt out. Wouldn't be surprised if he hangs it up after this year.
