Thursday gridiron thank-yous

Dear fellow fans of Southern football,

As you're writing your Christmas thank you cards, as I know you will do, remember to include the following gentlemen:

You see, modern gals and guys, the Georgia football team kept the honor of the SEC alive by thumping the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. It was a favor to football fans everywhere, reminding them that even though June Jones is a cool name, especially for someone who wears a lei to work, the WAC just ain't ready to run with the big dogs. Dawgs, ahem.

You may exclude, however, the Florida Gators, who rolled over and took it you know where from the Michigan Wolverines, a big no-no in the book of football.

Please send a sympathy card to the Arkansas Razorbacks.

That is all.
