I was really torn last night watching the BCS National Championship game. Normally, I would obviously be rooting for the SEC team. However, I hate Florida. When you follow the SEC week-to-week as I do, you get force-fed Tim Tebow. I know he is a great person and a great player, but he seems TOO good, TOO perfect and his hype is unreal. Part of it, I admit, is being upset that he won the Heisman Trophy 2 years ago when I felt Darren McFadden of my beloved Arkansas Razorbacks should have. I've been to a game at Florida and their fans are arrogant as hell and just rub me the wrong way.
As for OU, I hate them as well. Never liked Bob Stoops, never liked Barry Switzer (even though he was an Arkansas boy and alum), never liked their fans, living here in DFW you have to listen and read about how great they are and how great the Big 12 is. Even though I was born in Oklahoma and lived there through 3rd grade, I never had a connection to OU. When they played Nebraska, I always rooted for Nebraska.
In the end, I wanted Florida to win, but look bad doing it. And I wanted the SEC to once again prove their dominance. 3 years in a row now the national champion has been from the SEC. I would love to see a Florida-USC matchup however, even though in that case I would be for USC. That being said....
S-E-C... S-E-C .... S-E-C!!!

Was wondering who you were rooting for. Last night's game was the only college game I saw this year, and I was gagging on Tebow by the end. I guess it's not his fault; it's really the announcers.
Be glad you don't watch the SEC game of the week and/or ESPN during the season. It's a Tebow love fest and has been for 2 years now. And I do feel bad about my hatred of all things Tebow.
Where were you in OK?
My roots, though born a Texas boy, are in Durant (just across the river from Sherman), Chandler (halfway between "The City" and Tulsa) and "The City."
I was born in Tulsa and we moved to Houston when Humble Oil (now ExxonMobil) moved their HQ. I had never been back to Tulsa until I was at the UA and one day decided to drive over (about 90 minute drive) and see if I could find the house I grew up in. I found it fairly easily and was shocked at how little and small it looked.
UA is Arkansas?
Yes UA is Arkansas.
How/why did you go to school at UA?
