If anyone is in Tallahassee, we should have a pretty large group of Gator fans (and some others) watching at Andrew’s Downtown tonight.
by PW on Jan 8, 2007 7:15 PM EST reply actions
I’m watching this one with the sound turned off and the EDSBS and internets turned on. I just hope the ebays haven’t given away the Gator or Fuckeye playbook, I want a game that makes me stay up past ten is all.

I am U-M fan, so there’s a natural dislike to tOSU. At first I was angry at UF but now as it is time for the MNC game to start, I hope UF really pounds tOSU.
GO GATORS!

Comment # 6 – EDSBS Protocol Dept:
On this site, I think your name should be:

It would be funnier and would show respect to long-suffering Gator fans.

I never had a beef with OSU, kinda like ’em even. The anticipation leading up to this game is making me realize (even more) how amazing it was to play our biggest rival for all the marbles in ’96. I thought I understood, at the time, but a decade gives you a lot more perspective….
GO GATORS! Get ’em, good guys.

If he didnt grab the facemask he was going to break that tackle and take it for 6. Its a good thing for the bucks that he was able to hang on to it.

What a weird game. I took pleasure in both touchdowns. Maybe I’ll figure out which team I want to win in the second half.

Oh, also, great start to the game! Go Gators!
by Boston Frog on Jan 8, 2007 8:44 PM EST reply actions
Possibly, but we have seen OSU’s Offense yet. The UF defense needs to get jacked up and get a 3 and out. The OSU defense showed no sign of having any ability to stop the Gator attack so the gator defense could get stops on a couple of early possessions it could be huge.
by WarDAMNEagle on Jan 8, 2007 8:45 PM EST reply actions
I’m almost as disturbed by the ads.
1. Tostitos. You pay big $$$ to sponsor the BCS title game, and your first ad is three yappy moms talking about playdates? Did your entire ad dept. fail Marketing & Advertising 101?
2. Maxim is now being refered to for movie reviews as if it were the Chicago Tribune, NYT, or even Rolling Stone? When did that happen?
by Will on Jan 8, 2007 8:45 PM EST reply actions
So, the tally thus far is 4:29 worth of football and 250 minutes of shitty Tostitos, Charles Schwab and Geico commercials. God I hate Fox.

Also, Buckeye fans…yes that Gator offense looked damn-near unstoppable. But…I thought they were going to run it up on Auburn, and for a while I thought my Dawgs were going to get run out of JAX. They have yet to keep up performance like that for a whole game.

I posted this over at Awful Announcing, but it bears repeating:
Ohio State played exactly ONE good offense this year and gave up 39 points. Remember, Texas was still breaking in Colt McCoy in early September. Ohio State didn’t play another team with even a decent offense.

I feel good about hanging better with FLA than OSU did, but there is still a lot of game left.
They’re still only up by two scores, b/c they didn’t call holding on the OSU return.
OSU has gotten ! first down, though.
I love watching a game where I don’t care who wins. It’s so relaxing as compared to gutt-wrenching.

My brother blames ND for this mess. Without its horrendous play in the Fiesta Bowl and against Michigan, everyone would have recognized that the Big Ten teams were not a cut better than the other top (if you can still include either in the top) teams.

Orson, just make sure to post in the morning to let everyone know you’re alive, at this rate.
I’d say you might be able to clock this game as “done” if the Gators score another six with the kickoff next half.

Since premature chompulation ends up in Florida winning, maybe if I come here and prematurely admit defeat the Buckeyes will get back in it. Great game (so far), Gators, in all aspects!

I’m very glad we have a 20-point lead, but on reflection I’d actually rather not be starting with the ball; in the latter part of the season, the first ten minutes of the 3rd quarter tended to be rough going for the offense, and even our fine D proved it couldn’t defend the thirty-yard line forever.
On the other hand, the O has been so amazing tonight that they’d still be pretty good even losing a gear or two.

Seeing this dismantling of the Buckeyes makes me almost ok that Florida blocked our kicks to prevent the Cocks from beating them. Almost.

It must come as a great relief to Florida’s scholarly players that they are not required to think out their smack talking in the second half. A mere reference to the scoreboard will suffice.

Re 236, they made an appearance asking for the SEC speed after the KO return. SInce it appeared, I’d guess they’re rocking in a corner and wishing for Purdue or Northwestern to show up from the other locker room in the second.

UF needs to grind out about another five minutes with this lead and we’ll be edging out of the danger zone. After that the O starts to pick up again.

These announcers are idiots. The touchback was because the player had his feet on the goalline.

Back-to-back time management screw-ups. Gators punted with about 20 seconds left on play clock and the Myth fails to snap the ball b4 quarter ends.
If Urbie has Leak throw the ball further than 8 yds downfield for the rest of this game, he should be summarily Saddamed.
by Ed on Jan 8, 2007 11:20 PM EST reply actions
they were right. in college, when the ball breaks the plane, it’s a touchback. doesn’t have to touch the ground.

- - the announcers were actually right. The ball can not cross the plane in the NCAA ranks. But, in all fairness, the 2nd gator’s toe was on the line, so the point is moot.

Lesson? Once again, just like basketball, it’s not just about season rankings, but about how you finish. When I think about how Florida and BSU almost got left out of the national championship discusion because of the ‘polls’ and because of some ESPN commentators (Herb) lobbying for another Mich-OSU rematch (bite me, Lloyd. sorry, I’ll fry in hell but I couldn’t help it), we wouldn’t know who was truly worthy of the national title.
In basketball, the game is settled on the court. In football, it’s up to geezers with preconceived notions about who is who and what is what. We now know what that opinion is worth.
Give us a playoff like the basketball league and end this arguement forever.
In the mean time….
Go Gators!!!!
