Just a few minutes after the Razorbacks of Arkansas felled the hated Tigers of "Moo U", I saw someone walking around campus selling something taunting Auburn. It was a picture (he had several desk sized versions, as well as a poster sized one) of a skeleton sitting in a lawn chair with an Auburn jersey on, and a pennant in one hand, and in his other hand a cardboard sign that said "Still Waiting on National Championship". Supposedly it's floating around on the internet somewhere, but I have yet to find it.
To sum Satruday up:
Auburn loses (AT HOME!) to Arkansas.
Alabama wins (at home) against Duke (though I had my doubts after the first half when our defense looked like Georgia's 4th quarter defense where they gave up 27(!) to the Home Dep...I mean...Tennessee Volunteers)
The Yankees (who perpetually have 100 win seasons) were felled by the Detroit Tigers who, prior to this season, had perpetually had 100 LOSS seasons. The Tigers took the series 3-1 and play the Oakland Athletics for the ALCS.
The day's only offical downside was Georgia losing to Tennessee. Can't have it all I don't suppose.

I would also say that Duke actually being ahead of UA in score at a time during the game is also a bad point of the sports' filled day.
Sure, but 1. it was just a bit of a lapse on our part (we did pick it up in the second half) and 2. in spite of (homecoming) losses a few years back to teams like La. Tech and South Florida, you just knew we were going to win this one.
I was actually beginning to think that Duke had actually suited up their basketball team in football gear during that first half, instead of their football team. Fortunately, I was wrong.
Kenny, we've had this discussion before: It's crossing guard orange. Home Depot is a successful company we like . . . don't want to be comparing Fat Phil's Fellers to that.
Well, true, but I say Home Depot Orange after that time your Tennessee friend (normally an oxymoron) Charlotte got in a huff after we both saw someone in a Home Depot jacket in Columbia (presumably Tony Stewart from NASCAR since his major sponsor is Home Depot) and she thought it was Tennessee orange, and I pointed out to her it was, in fact, Home Depot orange.
But true, crossing guard orange or traffic cone orange is certainly more degrading.
