Your note got me thinking about something we could collaborate on. I think it might be cool to do some kind of round table with a bunch of the WAC writers. Maybe everyone could give an argument as to why their team could win the conference. Let me know what you think and I'll start putting it together.

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The Heisman Trophy isn't the same as it use to be. What are the faults and what can be done in order to get the bronze figurine back to where it once was?

Don't be shy!

Great game last night. I'll be cheering for you the rest of the way.

I just got my side of the recap done and I linked them both together. Good work on both ends of this, I look forward to working with you in the future.

Let's do it. Maybe a "what we learned" style of article. I'll try to get one done by Sunday and then we can link them together.
