[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 149506, member: 198"] If my team (Tennessee) was to return to the title game I'd definately lay out of work. Any fan of an SEC team knows that going to the National Title game comming out of the SEC is the most difficult path to get there. We all know that if our team makes it to the National Title Game then we better make every effort to watch it because it might be a while before they return. When Tennessee went to the first BCS title game in Jan 99 I was lucky because the game was on a Monday and at the time I was working in a magazine factory (the same one that produced the Special Hard Cover Edition of Sports Illustrated that they always release for the team that wins immediately after) on three twelve hour shifts. It was not a workday for me. I wouldn't have gone anyway. The reason I stated above is why. That and the fact that we were on a point system and I had plenty to burn. When I started my work week two days later I walked in and they were already producing all the different iss of SI highlighting Tennessee's season. Including the fancy hard cover edition. I was told they actually started printing it less than 4 hours after the game ended. Amazing! So working there helped. Lets just say I had the inside track to get my hands on the magazines without having to order Sports Illustrated through a subscription. It was a sweet job. A month later I quit to go back to school and started working at UPS and thats all she wrote! Anyway....I hope Florida wins. I pulled for Miami back when the refs handed the game to Ohio State. I hope the refs don't screw things up this time. [/QUOTE]
