[quote]No. Wbat put us in the game was Notre Dame lost to Hawaii after we beat UGA in the SEC Champ game. Notre Dame's loss dropped SC's strength of schedule[/quote] WRONG! The Georgia game improved our strength of schedule. USC was at 37 before LSU played #7 georgia and LSU's was 54. After we...
[quote]LSU in 03 did not get a bump because of UGA. If I remember correct the same team can't be counted twice or some such shite. [/quote] We beat a # 7 Georgia team that year. We were # 3 behind Oklahoma and USC going into that game. Oklahoma didnt fall that far because they had such a big lead...
[quote]That's ridiculous. Winner of SEC-CG goes to BCS-CG (even with 2 losses). Everyone remembers Florida vs Hawaii - not going to try that again real soon.[/quote] I have to respectfully disagree with you. The winner of the SECCG in years past has been able vault a one loss SEC team to the top...

re: BP is so full of fail its funny

I think that after the top kill did not work, they should have stayed hooked up to the bop and started pumping freshwater into the bop. As the freshwater would have started taking the path of least resistance ( back out if the riser) under the pressure conditions. Hydrates would have started forming...
[quote]Also, I was assuming they would use the drillpipe to bring the oil to surface. I don't think it will flow to surface on it's on so they'll have to come up with a way to reverse it out or lift it internally.[/quote] I am pretty sure there will be gas along with the oil that will assist in c...

[quote]He said on TV today, that what came up at first was thick, and trouble[/quote] You have to take into account the effects that temp takes on the oil. It is very cold at the source where this oil is exiting the pipe at on the sea floor. It starts to increase in temp as it gets closer to the ...
