You missed my point. I'm not saying anyone actually compared them. But gee whiz a whole thread devoted to the question of where you were when PM announced he would stay? I mean that's just weird.

Yeah, about as weird as a Gator fan constantly reading and remarking about TENNESSEE sports.

I was sitting in my new house. I remember thinking he's a shoe in for the Heisman now with such a class move, putting the college experience above the quick easy money. What a great example.

But that was when I was naive enough to think the Heisman selection commitee cared about class.

What's Charles Woodson up to these days?

He's playing for the Packers. He's in the playoffs.

I have already conceded both this fact as cited by you and also that it should give you reason to be optimistic heading into next year against the Gators. I still think we win, but I'm not as confident as I was on about September 16, 2007, also known in some circles simply as "The Day After.".

haha yeah. I understand what ya mean law. I think yall will be good next year. Once again though, Winner of this game has my vote fore sec east champ.

Dumbest person alive? Wow, okay.

He is a good QB im not saying he isn't... it's just that he never really accomplished a lot. He won a SECC his senior year and thats the only thing he did for UT his entire stay. I'm not talking about all the records and awards he has won, there is no denying that, but its not like he won us back-to-back NC or something.

I'll say this - if Peyton wasnt where he is today in the NFL, this thread would not be here.

The fact is... Peyton is where he is today and we do remember that. To say that he won the SEC and set a bazillion records and to have already had pointed out to you that he won 39 football games and still say that he didnt accomplish a lot is ridiculous. Not too many QBs have won back to back NCs and even fewer played have made note in the NFL.

Agree to disagree.

The question is being asked (and somberly answered) in such a way as to compare the significance of the event to the assasination of JFK and landing on the moon. What a freakin' joke.

Yeah you got it like the broad I was with whin the year 2000 came in. But their are other moments that mean soo much moore.

I agree. This is not comparable to 9-11. I guess some folks dont want to talk about current issues, like a top ranked b-ball team perhaps?

i remember thinking he was stupid not to take the money and run. i still believe that.

I guess you're right. I heard Peyton is about broke and close to getting kicked out of his home. I know he is regretting not going pro a year earlier, he would probably be rich by now... :crazy:

I didn't see any ref. to these two events, and cannot imagine anyone equating Manning's announcement to them. Hate to date myself, but I saw all three, or in the case of JFK, saw the initial newsreport. I've never seen or felt such a reaction nationally, to include 911. Even people who were ardent JFK haters, and there were many, were shocked beyond their imagination. Perhaps 911 was somehow expected to happen sooner or later, and/or humanity has grown so jaded and callous and accustomed to violence, it takes more to get the same reaction.

Yes JFK it seems just like yesterday. I was in 7th grade we all were sent home there was not a person or car on the streets everyone was watchin the TV. Things like that are branded into ones memory forever.

i suppose you are right considering he won the SEC, the heisman, and hte NC his senior year. oh wait. . .

he did get that street named after him. that's nice i suppose.

Winning the SEC is a great enough accomplishment.

Name me the last QB to lead the Bears to a PAthetiC-10 title. Nah, don't bother, Aaron Rodgers is unrecognizable as it is, I doubt anyone on this site would know some has been, err, never was, from the '70s.

Not really weird when you consider we were trying to kill time waiting on coaching announcements. Wait til BB is over, this will seem like one of the more brilliant threads. BTW, don't like a thread, don't click on it.

I love how we once had a thread ripping Alabama for doing a "Where were you when Nick Saban was hired?" thread on one of their message boards...
