Had a great time in Columbia today..

Just got back a few hours ago from Columbia, what a great day so happy our Tigers came away with the W, even if it wasn't as "pretty" as some would like. After washing off the filth, I had a chance to do some reflection on the season to date.

We are 12-0 and finished the regular season undefeated for the first time since 1981. We are #1 in the nation in all the major polls. Today's win was our 15th in a row, the longest active streak in the nation. We just beat our biggest rival at their place, for the first time since 2007, and for the second straight year in the series.

Next weekend we have the opportunity to win the ACC championship for the second time in 5 years. Before 2011 it had been 20 years since we won our conference. However, since 2009 we will have played for it 3 times.

We still have an opportunity to win a national championship this year. We haven't had a shot at that in over 30 years.

We have a quarterback who is a once in a decade, perhaps generation, type player. He will probably be in NYC for the Heisman ceremony in a few weeks, and should be the favorite to win it next year.

We have an awesome head coach who has surrounded himself with talented assistants, and has completely transformed this program.

So with Thanksgiving week wrapping up, and another victorious rivalry week in the books, we have lots to be thankful for. And given what the coming weeks have in store, we also have lots to be hopeful for. So enjoy the ride my fellow Tigers, while we hope this level of success is here to stay, nothing is ever guaranteed.

Walking out today, I passed a lot of folks that were rooting for a team that just finished their season 3-9, and saw their team play its last game of the season. They will have to live vicariously through their SEC brethren come bowl season. I don't think I speak for myself when I say, I've never been more proud to be a Tiger, and I'm certainly glad I'm not them!

Have a great week Tiger fans, Charlotte gets painted orange in 7 days! See you there!

So I guess their players being on scholarship as well means nothing. I guess you look at only records. Because I saw a 3-8 GaTech team beat an undefeated FSU team. But Records don't mean anything in rivalry games. I saw a 1-loss Florida team get SMACKED up and down the field by a 2 loss FSU team. It was a rivalry game. You can throw Stats, and records out the window during those games. People bring their A+ game when it comes to those games. Fumbles happen, people make mistakes. They are 18-22 year old KIDS that are playing a game they love and they will take this win however they can because THEY know that wins are not easy. You are just sitting in a chair at home yelling at a screen while these kids are on the field playing their hearts out for THEIR university. So take it easy. If you ever played this game you would know how hard it is to win regardless of your ranking or record. Even harder when you are the undefeated team on the road against a rival that has nothing to lose. They are playing balls to the walls trying to scratch and crawl their way to victory by any means necessary. You watched the game they were trying to punch out every ball they could. Trying to give their team a chance. Stop being petty.

GO TIGERS!

Honestly, being "pretty" has nothing to do with it....

Didn't we just beat the team that team lost to?
