Google Trends lets you compare search volumes for multiple terms. I have never in my memory seen a team take every snap of a quarter like Auburn did in the third quarter last night. Comparing the number of searches for Tuberville and Spurrier… I guess Tuberville doesn’t get the respect. tuberville spurrier [...] Posted by G, on September 29th, 2006, at 6:34 amhttp://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1159521566220230.xml&coll=2 – Bush visits state, raises campaign funds for Riley. http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1159522240220230.xml&coll=2 – Baxley supporters rally in downtown Birmingham while Bush visits. http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/1159522260220230.xml&coll=2 – Pressure builds for resignation of Rep.
