Hmm...Kentucky is #6, my new team Florida is #2, but LSU is listed at #1. Maybe I will be an LSU fan. But I don't like the purple/yellow color thing going on.:(

WHAT!? You didn't consult ME when you were picking a new team! Don't listen to Kurt's nonsense. Our colors have meaning, unlike the Florida colors. Florida's colors were selected by a UF student wanting to add pomp to the original Gator uniforms and found two discarded paint cans in the Itchicootibootie River flowing through Gainesville. One had a bit of orange and the other some blue dregs. He figured if it was good enough for Auburn it was good enough for Florida. Hence, Florida's colors were born. Kurt will deny this. He will be lying, don't drink that gator kool-aid:lol:

:clap_1: I :wub: you jdarg. Don't go to the dark side. Note that LSU's colors, like Florida's, are opposites on the color wheel and thus equally as garish as orange and blue. Humph.

"Though Florida has dominated the SEC volleyball scene since its inception, LSU could take the reigns soon."

Not only is this speculation, the guy doesn't even know how to spell. :roll: This is Soooooo unofficial. Let's talk Jan 9, K? :whack:

I always liked the Seahawks because of their cute outfits. Um, uniforms. Blue/green is such a nice color combination. Oh, but you're probably talking college football. Scarlet is Grey is nice. ;-)

I gotta plead ignorance on gymnastics. Baseball has fallen several notches, but we have a new coach this year.

You have good taste in uniforms OL. :floor: I was so happy when Spurrier came and switched the Gators jerseys from orange to blue. Too much orange is offensive to the eyes. Too bad Tennessee can't do anything about that. (Where's the can o' worms smiley? :idontno: :lol:)

Tennessee is #3. They do not need to do anything about their orange. I luv it. Bruce Pearl is a good basketball coach. He has totally turned the men's program around after coming to Tennessee last year. :D

tangent here - mr audie was watching football thursday night after work and bryant gumbel was yakking on some football show. he should be ashamed - i think he understands football about as well as i do. i forget what he was talking about, but even i knew he was just blowing smoke up people's a$$e$.

personally i like shannon sharpe. can't understand a word he's saying sometimes, but man is he a natty dresser ! boy's got some style ...

and that dear friends sums up all i know about football....

Wait a second, the Gators won the men's basketball national championship and earned a spot in the BCS Championship. So why are they No. 2?
The guy is whacked. He says the answer is women's Bball. :roll:

The SEC all-sports trophy is the true measure of a program:
To date, Florida has claimed 168 SEC titles. The next closest program is Georgia with 116 titles.
The SEC All-Sports Trophy began in 1973 as the Bernie Moore trophy and tabulated the league?s best men?s sports program. In 1983, the SEC also began calculating the best women?s sports program in the conference, as well as tabulating an overall champion. In 1994, the "New York Times" Regional Newspaper Group took over the awarding of the trophy.
In the history of the award, Florida has won 13 Women?s Trophies, 11 Men?s Trophies, and 16 Overall Trophies.
In 2004-05, Florida won its 14th consecutive SEC All-Sports Trophy. UF finished 1st for the Men?s Trophy and 3rd for the Women?s Trophy.

Kurt is serving up the kool-aid.

Who was Bernie Moore?

Bernie Moore was a legendary sports figure during his long tenure as head coach of both football and track & field at LSU.

Moore was the son of a Baptist minister, which seemed to influence his sports philosophy. As his College Football Hall of Fame states. he was "a man of morals and mayhem." While demanding a high level of sportsmanship from his players, he also called for a hard-nosed, physical style of play from them at all times.

In addition to 2 SEC titles in football, his track & field teams won 12 SEC titles and the national championship in 1933. LSU's Bernie Moore Track Stadium is named in his honour.

After ending his tenure at LSU (the longest of any coach at the school to that point). Moore became SEC Commissioner in 1947.

So yeah...That's not going to work. Be an Auburn fan. They are so much more chic than these dorks. Purple and gold? Really? That gross Florida orange and blue. Dargster. Stick to your girl. OK.
