Man, what a weekend! Alabama looked very good, and the best part is that the coach wasn’t satisfied with what he saw so we should see some improvement over the next couple of weeks!

Auburn looked like they decided at the last minute to let the girls basketball team suit up to play Kansas State, but had an awakening in the last four minutes of the game to come back and win. It will be a costly victory in the polls, i’m afraid. Like my friend Grant said over on his blog, i’m  conflicted because until Auburn plays Alabama, I root for them every time, but the underdog fan in me just couldn’t help but cheer for Kansas State. Had KS not had so many penalties, AU would have fallen hard.

I think the best of all has to be Appalachian State putting the smack down on Michigan. I’m one of these guys who believes that teams like Michigan and Notre Dame (who also had their butts handed to them) get praise and adoration just for being Michigan or Notre Dame. SEC Schools have to grab, fight and beg for attention because their games are usually lower scoring and until recently the media hasn’t really understood that the incredible Defense in the SEC is the big factor there. No conference plays harder.

All in all, it was a great weekend. I spent quite a bit of time out working in the pasture where I plan to deer hunt this year. My brother and I got some green fields planted and a couple of new hunting spots picked out. I think maybe this year I will actually get a chance to take a deer. I can’t wait.

Have a great Tuesday!
