Gator Bait

[Cajungator26]

Guys, just wanted to say before I hit the sack... OMG WOW...

I am hammered and PROUD to be a GATOR. They brought their A game tonight and boy did it show... HOLY COW!!!

two things -- i've spoken to cajun, and for her admitting that she is really drunk, she is still quite capable of talking football.

secondly, i've learned a lot here. i thought there was no way ohio state could lose. if i had to pick one thing i've learned here, i would say it was from my buddy bellsendboy in the "fg xmas eve" thread. if there was no way that i could forsee the result that inevitably happened, there is only one single conclusion that could be the reality.....

the game was fixed. period.

ok in honesty though -- i was wicked wrong. i think anyone who has followed football would say that it was clear that ohio state did not show up at all and didn't play the game that we've seen them play all year.

but the fact remains, that after tonight -- it was clear that even THAT wouldn't have been good enough to beat the Gators tonight.

Very deserving champions after that performance.

It is my very humble opinion that the underdog in the championship game, as well as most bowl games has a huge advantage. Ohio State comes in thinking that if they play as they have all year that they are the better team (as they should). Florida comes in hungry to prove everyone wrong, makes tons of adjustments and throws the book at OSU early. Before you know it, the game is over. I agree that OSU didn't play their game tonight, but I think that had everything to do with Florida being incredibly fast and a different team than they had seen on film...

well, just woke up to find a repeat performance by an sec team. deja vu people! lsu/florida with the same scores in their respective bowl games.

absolutely lsu should have leap-frogged osu to #2. but, what can you do?

redemption!!! florida played an awesome game. what gratification for those of us who argued that yes, absolutely florida BELONGED in this game.

the SEC showed it to those 'football purists' who think that the michigans and osus of this world are 'better'.....

oh, and i gotta go find that guy at one of my accounts. lol the one who thought the little lady didn't know what she was talking about to even suggest florida could win.


i forced myself to bed at the half--you guys see what time i'm posting this! what a way to wake up.

congrats to florida--dual titles, unreal.

LOL Deb... my head is killing me.

While I certainly believe the evidence presented by the bowls would lead most to believe that LSU is the second best team- maybe USC- it really doesn't matter. Put Boise up there if you can. They still haven't lost.

Bad month for the Michigan apologists. The whole argument about losing to OSU by only 3 made them deserving really blew up. As it turned out, OSU wasn't as great as they were made out to be.

Pretty stupid that had UCLA beat USC the Gators wouldn't have even got in the National Championship game. Especially ridiculous when you are in a conference with 8 of the best 30 teams in the nation. The sport needs a playoff and fast or the SEC will continue to be shut out of the national championship because it is so tough to go undefeated in that conference.

That's a half fair, half unfair argument. It certainly didn't help my argument that Michigan is still a better team than USC, but I don't think it told us that much about OSU except that they were not as good of a football team as Florida. OSU certainly didn't show up. Nobody can dispute that, so I'm not sure that this game somehow negates the rest of their season and makes them "not as great as they were made out to be." They had a pretty freaking good season and got figured out, and romped by one great football team. Half of their explosive offensive duo was out the entire game (after touching the ball once (?) and scoring 7 points with it.), and it was obvious that that hurt Smith's ability to work with the football.

I'm taking nothing away from Florida's performance last night, I explained that to Cajun right after the game -- there are no excuses, but there's also no reason to get all carried away with OSU being frauds.
