it was about 12 years ago when my family and i were huddled around a tv in our vermont hotel room while on a ski weekend. we watched as the totally dismissed alabama crimson tide totally rolled over miami. no one gave alabama chance, but here we were totally beating a far "superior" opponent.
fast forward to tonight. all i heard about was these far superior ohio state buckeyes from all the "experts." yet, here we are. an sec team, which plays with a tough and fast defense in a week in week out challenging conference. i can't discredit the buckeye team, they are good, but i was sooo sick of hearing them crowned national champions before the game that i can't help but cheer florida.. and that is hard being an sec foe.
further thoughts
- urban meyer is a stud as coach
- troy smith will probably be considered a heisman flub (its apparent he doesn't look so great under a speedy defense. you know the difference between college and nfl? the speed, everyone is fast.)
- michigan had no business being in this game
- big
1110 needs to figure out how to play later into nov. 1.5 months off is too much - i'm gonna be really mad to know that florida is football and basketball national champs.. that stinks!
- an sec opponent with one loss is better than most conference folks undefeated
- chris leake has my highest respect as a player and person
- the bcs still stinks and we need a playoff system
- erin thought: they can't put together an ohio state highlight reel it was so one sided
