As an alum of a Southeastern Conference school (Mississippi State) and diehard LSU fan (when they don't play State), I can understand the need to watch Florida play for the national championship. Football is religion in the SEC. It trumps about everything. Sorry if you don't get it. Maybe you should be from the South and an alum from the SEC. One day won't destroy anything. I wonder. If it had to do with verifying a McCain/Palin victory, would the outcry be just as whiney? Honestly, I doubt it.

Will Nancy Pelosi reach across the aisle to the staunch conservative Republican from Florida, I hope not. Go Oklahoma!

I'm sure the football game would be more interesting – especially since its Southeastern conference football. I graduated from Tennessee which did horribly this year but if I had to pick which to spend my time with I'd go with the football. Since TN isn't playing I hope Florida wins!!

Making Barack Obama presidentis high on my list for 2009,his personality along with determantion to change this great country.As Americans we should embrace President elect Obama's plans,and do everything we can to help change the face of America.I'm a strong beleiver that there is not nearly enough of one thing together we can make anything possiable.It's about taking the good with the bad with are president elect Barack Obama,try to keep our frustrations on winding roads limited.Personally would love to see more jobs,tax breaks,and more nurses in heath care.Lets all try to make a huge diffrence one day at a time in 2009.

I think most people and commentators are right! There will enough press and fans at the BCS National Championship game, and I hope Big 12 Oklahoma wins!
