We have NEVER played well in our 1st game each season under Spurrier. With that said, this is the least talented SC team I've seen in a while. But, as long as I'm responding to Helen:
Illinois&Oklahoma:
I thought these two states made for an interesting contrast. The first part is about Illinois and the second part is about Oklahoma!
PART 1 —Illinois
"A State with No Republicans"!
Some interesting data on the 'state' of the State of Illinois... There are more people on welfare in Illinois than there are people working.Chicagopays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. Their average pay is $110,000/year. Their pensions average 80-90% of their income.Wow, are Illinois andChicagogreat or what? Be sure to read till the end. I've never heard it explained better. Perhaps the U.S. should pull out ofChicago?
Body count:In the last six months,292killed (murdered) inChicago.221killed inIraq;ANDChicagohas one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
Here's theChicagochain of command:

House leader:MikeMadigan•
Atty.Gen.:LisaMadigan(daughter ofMike) •

The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats. •
Thank you for the combat zone inChicago. •
Of course, they're all blaming each other. •
Can't blameRepublicans;there aren't any! •
Let us getALLthe factsout while we are at it:
Chicagoschool system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blameRepublicans;there aren't any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Can't blameRepublicans;there aren't any!
CookCounty (Chicago) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blameRepublicans;there aren't any!
This is the political culture thatObamacomes from in Illinois. And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us?
GeorgeRyanis no longer Governor,he is in prison.
He was replaced by Rob Blagojevich who is, by the way,also in prison.
And Representative JesseJackson Jr. Resigned and, that's right, he and his wife areboth in prison.
The Land of Lincoln , where our Governors and Representatives make our license plates. What?
As long as they keep providing entitlements to the population of Chicago, nothing is going to change, except the state will go bankrupt before the country does.
"Anybody who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
Don’t forget Detroit , another great example of a Democratic empire…With all thebadnews, there is hope, so let’sgo to:
PART 2—Oklahoma
OKLAHOMA- may soon have plenty of new residents!
THIS IS REALLY INTERESTING, AND TRUE... PLEASE READ IT!
Oklahoma is the only state thatObamadid not win even one county in the last election... While everyone is focusing on Arizona ’s new law, look what Oklahoma has been doing!!!
An update from Oklahoma:Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9 an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is aconservativestate, based onChristianvalues... HB 1330
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerateallillegal immigrantsand ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB1804. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake.
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and allillegal'sto the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes.Pelosisaid it was unconstitutional SB1102.
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Several weeks ago, Oklahoma passed a law,declaring Oklahoma as aSovereign state,notunder theFederal Governmentdirectives. Joining, Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so.
More states are likely to follow:Louisiana,Alabama,Georgia, Carolinas,Kentucky,Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia,Mississippiand Florida.
Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up onceagain. HJR 1003
The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I’m sure that was asetbackfor the criminals The Liberals didn't like it— But...
Guess what... Oklahoma did it anyway.
Just this month, the state has voted and passed a law that ALL drivers’ license exams will be printed in English and only English and no other language. They have been calledracistfor doing this, but the fact is that ALL of the road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple.
By the way, the Liberals don't like any of this either.
Guess what... who cares... Oklahoma is doing it anyway.
