Five Other Things We Are Getting Tired of in the SEC

After reading a fantastic article on Bleacher Report about five things the writer hates in the SEC (he used the word "persona non grata," but I'll just say "tired of hearing"), mentioning the likes of Tebow, Saban, etc., we've thought of five more things that are mentioned too much about the SEC.

1) How great the Georgia-Florida game will be at the Cocktail Party in Jacksonville

I'll help you just in case you've either been on Mars or simply need telling again.  Florida.  Georgia.  Nov. 1.  Jacksonville.  Both teams unbeaten.  National Title implications.  OK, so let's ignore Georgia's trip to LSU a week earlier, shall we?  And who forgot to ask Auburn, USC, and Ohio State to the National Title party?

2) How wonderful the darned Grove is to tailgate on

Don't get me wrong—I'm all for drinking beer and cocktails among drop-dead gorgeous co-eds in a field with lots of trees on it.  But The Grove isn't the "Be all and End all" of tailgating in the SEC.  The North Lawn in Athens is great, and how about on a boat as part of the Vol Navy outside Neyland Stadium, or the fields outside Tiger Stadium.

3) Photos of the frickin' Vol/Tiger/Rebel/Gator/Tiger/anyone else walk?

They're walking through the fans, for crying out loud!  Who cares!  Haven't you seen enough of football players wading through fans in your college bars in the offseason?  Isn't that what these guys get arrested for (unless you're Penn State's E.Z. Smith back in the day, who was arrested for firing metal arrows into the wall on a cold night in January)?

4) Mike the Tiger

Until you attack somebody, you are no longer cool.  You should be like the last Uga (before he came to an early demise), who attacked an Auburn player.  Oh, and can I also recommend that the Florida Gators get a real live swamp next to their field.  It would more than a little intimidating to have an alligator swimming around waiting for lunch.  Or watching Mike the Tiger lounge around in the Louisiana heat. 

5) Rocky Top

Listen, I don't mind if you're doing well, but does the University of Tennessee band have ANY OTHER DARNED SONGS TO PLAY?  At least Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer (the song for Alabama) is only played after the Crimson Tide score a victory (or if Auburn beat 'Bama and the Auburn fans feel like taking the St. Michael).
