Hello,

There is a reason Georgia and the rest of the Southeast, read Alabama, is last/near last, in SAT scores, it's called FOOTBALL! Hello notre dame, welcome to the SEC. You may be a school of academic integrity, who gives most of your football income to academics, and enjoys the envy of all, but our professional SEC "student athletes" will kick your butt on the field of "play".

Of course your ex - scholars may find more gainful employment, but for today, GO SEC!

And maybe Oregon, Texas A&M, Stanford, Ohio State, would also have beat you, but you are still a good program and can remember the Gipper!

Yeah that was a butt kicking. Should have been Bama vs Georgia.
 
Thank God for the upcoming playoffs system.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'
Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
