I have been attending Michigan football games for 20 years and can count on one hand the number of games that received a significant amount of snow.Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-54702321636931403942011-03-01T10:44:55.527-05:002011-03-01T10:44:55.527-05:00Tubby's been pretty solid.

They've had terrible injury problems that have wrecked their season now, but they've been a whole lot better under Tubby than they were before Tubby arrived.<br /><br />The SEC would be a lot better if Tennessee didn't have the "legal" & injury problems that its had, and if Kentucky had a couple players linger around after its E8 run. Vandy and Florida are tight teams, but the Mississippi and Alabama programs really stink, and have stunk for eons (give or take a run here and there).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11175154.post-73222789966935406842011-03-01T09:24:48.426-05:002011-03-01T09:24:48.426-05:00You skipped one of the most basic reasons, Basketb...You skipped one of the most basic reasons, Basketball is played indoors so the fact the weather is better in the south is less of a factor for basketball players. They don't have to worry about the court being covered in snow or it being too cold to safely practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
