Y'all have spoken. I have listened. Mostly. Let the wailing, moaning, and gnashing of teeth commence.

Below are the Sweet Sixteen Plays of the 2007 Season. Randy thinks I'm in a zone and that the bracket is da bomb, Paula thinks that I (or the performance, whatever) am "stunning," and Simon thinks I should have picked something else entirely.

The plan is to kick this thing off right, along with the launch of the new platform tomorrow.

First a glimpse into a wicked, tricksey mind: I started with the Original 23. From there, I first cut Steve Spurrier Nos. 2 and 3, on the suggestion of Aerobab. I kept Steve Spurrier No. 4, despite Aerobab's opinion, just because I think it was a huge play for Jacques McClendon to hustle down the field and cover up Arian Foster's potentially season-sealing fumble. That got us down to 21.

Then, on the Question of Kentucky, I decided that my brilliant idea to just use the entire game really was a terrible idea after all, and after much anguish and toil, I decided to keep No. 1 (Brad Cottam's 59-yard reception) and No. 2 (Gerald Jones' OT TD), to drop No. 3 (Rogers' OT TD) and No. 4 (Hancock's OT TD), and to add Foster's opening wheel route for a TD, the blocked FG in OT (thanks to hooper), and the game-winning thwartation of KY's 2-point try in the 5th OT just to appease Aerobab. I decided not to include Berry's abuse of the Wisconsin QB . . . just to tick off Aerobab. That puts us at zero, Aero. ;-)

Okay, so that put the field at . . . 22. Not a lot of progress.

I then went and looked at the hit that Berry put on Earl Bennett that had Getoffmyvols so stoked, and he's right; that was a nice hit. But it wasn't as good as the shot on the Wisky QB, and so I decided I might as well tick off GOMV while I was at it. I owe you one.

Then . . . I decided to cheat and count both Lincoln's FG and the botched attempt just prior to it as one play. Ha. I owe me one.

By that time, we were still at 22, and I, like Old Smokey, had a headache. The boot was itching for six. No more would be added, regardless. Hey, if my memory is faulty, shame on you for not being more memorable.

So the whittling:

• Berry's 37-yard INT against Arkansas. It was at the end of the half and didn't really matter. Yes, it's Berry and woo and all that, but the boot is merciless.
• O'Neal's 49-yard TD against Louisiana-Lafayette. Do we really need two plays from that game? No, so bye Kenny. Again.
• Berry's INT against LSU. Should have done this earlier, when Aerobab suggested it. Aerobab, you owe me one, and I owe Getoffmyvols one, so could you just give it directly to him, please?
• Taylor's 51-yard TD against Mississippi State. Wrong Bulldog.
• Cottam's 59-yard reception against Kentucky. Too many Kentuckies, and it wasn't a TD, so boot.
• Ainge's 53-yard pass to Foster against Alabama. Not a TD, a game I'd like to forget, and there was a penalty on the play against us.

Oy.

And now the seeding, performed pursuant to a highly scientific method: me essentially grabbing the first thing that jumped out and sticking it in a slot. Only slightly worse than the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee.

So there it is. We'll kick it off tomorrow along with the new platform. Voting on the first round will remain open through the entire three-day holiday weekend. By the way, we need abbreviated, memorable nicknames for those plays, so if something comes to you, post it.
