A note on CollegeFootballNews.com

I've been a reader of collegefootballnews.com for about eight years or so (back when the site was so bad that this blog would put it to shame), and for about the same timespan, I've been a fan of its founder Pete Fiutak, basically as much for his funny, zany and all-together strange posts as for the dead-on predictions and commentary. (I'll put more weight in his and Kirbsteit's opinions than anyone else covering college football... sorry Trev Alberts...)

That said, I have to take the good and the bad, and for an Auburn fan, lately all commentary has been bad.

With that said, I'm going to steal Pete's Christmas Wishlist and post the SEC teams here. For all other team's, go here.

The Fifth Annual Christmas/Festivus/Hanukkah wish list for all SEC teams this holiday season. To ...
Alabama: Gene Chizik … wait a minute Bama, you’re not supposed to open your presents early.

Arkansas: A Matt Ryan jersey.

Auburn: The next five years to go by very, very quickly.

Florida: The NFL advisory board to give Tim Tebow a 5th round projection, and for the Cleveland Browns to not want to go the college coaching route after the Butch Davis fiasco.

Georgia: crowbar to open up the slammed shut window of national title opportunity the program had with future Detroit Lion QB Matthew Stafford under center and Knowshon Moreno in the backfield.

Kentucky: The incoming quarterback recruits to be good enough to allow Randall Cobb to be used in a variety of positions.

LSU: A damn strong football team and a quarterback whose favorite receiver isn’t wearing the other team’s colors.


Mississippi State: Dan Mullen to show right away that his offense consists of more than Tebow right, Tebow left, Tebow right.

Ole Miss: Ed Orgeron to come back as the recruiting coordinator.

South Carolina: An interception that Gamecock quarterbacks don’t like to throw.

Tennessee: Lane Kiffin’s wife to not be the only aspect of the program that’s smoking hot.

Vanderbilt: A quarterback who can throw half as well as Jay Cutler and an attack that can score more than 14 points on a consistent basis.
