A pretty insightful article from Mandel.

In the last paragraph, he mentions the whole "you must win your bowl game" theory that I mentioned the other day. If you're gonna brag about your conference, you gotta pull for them in December.

Definitely the SEC needs to start doing better in their bowl games outside the BCS championship bowl. Tennessee and Arkansas were embarrassments last year; just like Georgia blowing it against West Virginia.

The hallmark of all these games:
(1) You have to hold onto the ball, turnovers are the equalizer, don't force passes and 2 arms on the ball.
(2) You need to utilize SEC speed by actually THROWING the ball.

Embarassing? I wouldn't call our loss to Wisconsin embarassing, did you watch the game? We didn't win but by no way was it bad, in fact we should've won.
