Someone explain to me why it is in fucking Tampa. 

Seriously, outside of the obvious $$$ who could have possibly thought this was a good idea? Did the KY fans start complaining that they were tired of coming to Atlanta?

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Wow, didn't know that.  Why did they move it from Atlanta?  Atlanta makes sense as far as being a huge city and about as centrally located as you're going to get in the SEC..outside of the Ham.  But Tampa?  That's way below the southern most SEC city.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Yea it occurred to me last night when I started thinking about blowing off work and catching the first round.

Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall said, "Guys don't mind hitting Michael Vick in the open field, but when you see Cam, you have to think about how you're going to tackle him. He's like a big tight end coming at you."

SEC decided to start rotating it. I like it in Atlanta a lot...and Tampa won't be great, but it could be a lot of fun in a couple years when it hits Nashville and New Orleans.

2010   March 11-14   Gaylord Entertainment Center, Nashville, Tenn.
2011   March 10-13   Georgia Dome, Atlanta, Ga.
2012   March 8-11   New Orleans Arena, New Orleans, La.
