TROY SMITH RUN DOWN IN POSTGAME PARKING LOT BY NINE-YEAR OLD

A grrrreeeeat day for the SEC. Now we have 4 coaches in the SEC w/ National Championships. Much Cheese will be stolen…

Any chance Mr. Wayne weighs in today?

Orson, in honor of the win yesterday I think you should re-dub yesterday “Carl Monday.”

Plus a coach with a 13-0 season.

4 coaches with national campionships (plus one who earned one). Don’t forget that Richt wears two from his days at FSUx … lest you say he was just an assistant, look at the performance on and off the field since he left.

If there is going to be an article mocking OSU players it should be the entire OL, who played as if they had Derrick Harvey and Jarvis Moss on their fantasy teams.

Lordy:

Meyer > 1 NC
Fulmer > 1 NC
Tuberville > 1 Unofficial NC
Saban > 1 NC
Spurrier > 1 NC
-——
Richt > 2 SEC

#3, tOSU choked in the NC much the same way superfan Mike Cooper choked his chicken in the library.

Big Ten = Fraud

The only thing that went wrong last night was the reference to Emmitt’s title as 2006 Champion of Dancing With The Stars. Uggg.

Big Ten = Fraud

hr, yk

big 11 = slow
big 11 = non-football conference
big 11 = chubby people
big 11 = very, very long and cold winter

“Florida received all but one of the 65 first-place votes. Boise State, 13-0, got the other from Greg Archuleta of the Albuquerque Journal in New Mexico. "

Here’s his email adress, I’d love to know what kind of peyote he’s been taking, garchuleta@abqjournal.com.

Remember back in mid November when everyone thought OSU and Michigan were the best two teams in the history of college football?!?

They’re cute.

Carl Monday? The Cleveland investigative reporter?

I came into this article thinking it was true. Came out with split sides.

Still await apologies from Yost at MZone and Brian at MGoBlog for the whinning and insults thrown in the direction of Florida and the SEC after the Gators were named to the title game. I won’t hold my breath.

They’re too busy reading the tOSU message boards and giggling uncontrollably.

Fuck apologies. Glory is its own validation.

I love you, Derrick Harvey.

Is your inferiority complex so great that you rely on Michigan fans for affirmation? Jeezus, that’s stepping into OSU-fan territory. And MSU too, except Michigan actually beats them.

Re: #11

That winter just got a lot longer and a lot colder.

Unlike in Manhattan, where I was walking around in shorts and a t-shirt on saturday.

it looks like the Gators have already begun to reep the rewards of the championship, spiller is considering transferring to gainesville.

the possibility of light speed and ludicrous speed on the field at the same time would leave SEC defensive coaches in a shell-shocked, drooling mess

Congrats Gator Fans, from a Buckeye. Let me say this, however: I think speed was not the critical element to this game (as the national “experts” would have you think), as OSU was athletic enough to win the game.

Rather- and this is a very high compliment to Florida- the Gators executed flawlessly in all three phases of the game for 59:44. A great game plan prepared by a great coach executed greatly by great athletes. Congratulations again.

PS- Tressel is 54, Urban Meyer is 39. I can’t see Tressel at tOSU for a Paterno-like run. In ten-fifteen years, after Sweatervest and Urban both win at least one more title each, Urban will be the #1 guy on the list of coaching candidates at tOSU. After all, he is an Ohio guy carrying around a Buckeye!

#9, #11…

Easy now. While i’m all for seeing Ohio State get waxed, and Michigan being blown out, and for everyone in the Big 10 besides us to lose, lets remember head to head in bowl games this season Big 10 – SEC, it’s 2-1. So pile on Ohio State if you like, they certainly deserve it, and i was laughing very hard all night. But no need to lump the whole conference in there.

Paul, they executed in those other 16 seconds as well, they were just held like a mother fucker.

Threadjack,
Rumors going around that potential LSU uber-QB, Ryan Perilloux, may not be suiting up for the Bayou Bengals next year. Said rumors involve counterfeiting and casinos.

#22, regarding the 2006/7 bowl records. The head-to-head argument might hold some water if the Big 10/11 had not gone 0-5 against non-SEC opponents and the SEC had not gone 5-1 against non-Big10 opponents. Overall, the SEC had a MUCH better bowl season than the Big 10.

curse you rabid badger!

had it not been for the wrectched so-called “forward pass” play that we are unable to master, my Hogs would surely have been victorious!

and I enjoyed meeting 98% of the Badger faithful that I encountered in Orlando. great fans for a fine team.

… I think speed was not the critical element to this game …

If that helps you sleep at night.

Overall, the SEC had a MUCH better bowl season than the Big 10 …

Well, and Arkansas clearly outplayed Wisconsin. They rolled up substantially more yards and held the Badgers to something like less than 150 yards of total offense. But, not having an actual quarterback kinda hurts an offense, and Wisconsin executed when it had the chance. Hats off to them, but that’s not exactly the game I’d hold up as the qualifier.

Penn State smacked Tennessee around though.

Question for the Missus Dept:

I have been trying to find the reaction from Ms. TCOAN on this web site, regarding the Florida beat-down of the theOSU, but can’t find it.

My question to her: Do you feel sorry for the Buckies, at least a little bit, for getting beat so badly by the Gators?

AuAlum,

 If that’s true, let the race to the Fulmer Cup begin!

I’m hearing the same rumors about Perriloux, but haven’t seen anything to substantiate them yet.

curious indeed.

Speed not being critical: look, speed is not the be all and end all to football. Miami had speed in 2002, Arkansas had speed this year, and OSU had speed this year. Did speed really matter for those teams? Listen to your coach- execution wins more than speed. Give me the fastest bunch of guys, but if they can run the routes into the holes in the zone, and Leak can’t hit them, then your speed is pointless.

And yes, that does help me sleep at night.

As far as the “holding”, yes, there was a hold. But your kicker also sent the ball to the right when it should have gone left, and your coverage left its lanes. So despite the hold, you still would have made the tackle but for poor execution.

0-8 ,’nuf said.

Re #25 and #31:

Damn! And to think I didn’t even have LSU in my pre-season top ten.

Two notes on speed. The speed difference wasn’t so much at the skill player level (though our defensive backs seemed to have no problem covering the OSU receivers); the speed difference was in our defensive front seven against OSU’s offensive line. When we talk about SEC speed, we mean defensive ends and linemen who can chase a running back down from behind or linebackers who can cover receivers. That’s where the speed difference was last night. The OSU tackles looked like they were the Heisman trophies with as much mobility as they showed.

On the other hand, Mickey “lizard lips” Andrews once said that speed was great only inasmuch as it was well coached, otherwise you were just running to the wrong place faster.

But if both teams are executing their plays correctly (and I think that based on OSU’s season we can say they were very good at executing plays) then the one who is executing faster is going to win. So I’d say that the speed of UF was the difference maker, as it allowed our execution of plays to trump OSU’s execution.

Glad our fans were classy. For the most part you’ll find that we all are, but it’s always the few that shoot their mouth off too much that ruin it . Hell they even make us wish they would leave. But it was a fine game. And I think Jones is still running on us. He’s amazing.

Well DevilGrad, it’s to bad that the prestigious DevilGrad Preseason Poll will be leaving LSU outside the top 10. How will they ever be able to climb back into the hunt for the DevilGrad National Championship?

Look if the kid is guilty of a crime that merrits his removal, then I hope they get rid of him. I’d rather run a good clean program than a rogue championship one. And though it is too early to convict, we do have some talent left to work with in his absence.

If you’re counting Richt’s MNCs at FSU, then Tubs has 3 from Miami.

#22, keep an eye on the Petrino situation.

If that style of O can be successful in the NFL, several owners will come calling on Meyer to see if the spread can work on their team. I don’t know if Meyer would go, but if Petrino gets results with the Falcons, Meyer would be a top choice if I were an Owner. The Boise St. HC would also garner a look.

That being said, I have no clue if either of those guys would try the pros, but I know that the pros would call if Petrino gets decent success.

rabid badger -

thank God Felix Jones was around. when McFadden was caught from behind on his opening run, I knew he was nowhere near 100%. without Jones’ efforts, you boys would have shut us out.

and we definately had the bad seed Badger fans in our section. but I figure that’s to be expected when one teams fans are sitting in the other teams section. needless to say, the idiots got tried starting multiple fights and got arrested. but the fifty or so other Badger fans I talked with at the hotel and around town more than made up for those guys. i hope your fans had the same general experience with Arkansas fans. we are generally a good bunch, but we have the same idiots as well who show up.

ignore my streak of poor grammar in the previous post. its a reflection on the arkansas and michigan public school system, not me as a person.

The Badgers did all they could to let the Hogs win that game in the 2nd half. Total lack of a passing game and ultra conservative play calling hosed the Hogs. They got away from the Wilcat formations that got the ball into Humanity Advanced’ and Felix’ hands quicker.

Drogue -

its hard to run the Wildcat when McFadden is badly hampered with a high ankle sprain and a sprained shoulder. It was the Hog D’s outstanding effort that allowed us to stay in the game while the offense limped along.

Indeed.

I figured if you held PJ Hill to under 50 yards you’d beat us by 14….our defense saved our ass in the 3rd quarter, when we mustered all of 0 first downs.

And sorry about that guy. Too much PBR growing up will do that to you. That’s why I only drink Old Style….

Chris- Yeah, you’re right about McF being lame. I knew when the Wisconsin dback caught him on the opening drive he was far from 100%. Double team Monk on 3rd down and the Hogs chances to convert through the air went way down.

How about this? Bring back the wishbone w/Tebow, Humanity Advanced, and Felix the Cat.

The Horror!

as a michigan fan let me congratulate this site and the Gators for winning the title. it is clear that the gators would’ve embarrassed Carr and his 1973 playbook even worse than they did OSU had they met up on teh field. Carr owes Urban and apology and Wolverine nation his resignation.

The point above about speed alone being worth shit is spot-on – surely I’m not the only UF fan who remembers the sprinter kid a few years ago (Capel?). Ran the 100m relay in the Olympics, couldn’t even return kicks, let alone run routes.

Well DevilGrad, it’s to bad that the prestigious DevilGrad Preseason Poll will be leaving LSU outside the top 10. How will they ever be able to climb back into the hunt for the DevilGrad National Championship?

Look if the kid is guilty of a crime that merrits his removal, then I hope they get rid of him. I’d rather run a good clean program than a rogue championship one. And though it is too early to convict, we do have some talent left to work with in his absence.

Actually, since my Top Ten was a preview for the Fulmer Cup season, removing this kid from the team may hurt your chances of cracking the rankings.

OTOH, the recent SEC trend toward white-collar criminality must be encouraging for y’all who have been looking to raise your academic profiles. In my view, any old dope can get into a bar fight, but it takes some skills to get arrest for counterfeiting. I hope Orson scores this accordingly.

I lay claim to the 1964 DevilGrad National Championship

On the other hand, Mickey "lizard lips" Andrews once said that speed was great only inasmuch as it was well coached, otherwise you were just running to the wrong place faster.

OSU was anything but well-coached last night. Seriously, it was horrendous. Same predictable defensive schemes. An unending stream of passing plays when their running game was going well and their offensive line was clearly unable to pass protect (even when the score was close, it was still pass pass pass).

It was like Tressel let his kids do the gameplan based on their experience from playing NCAA 06 on Xbox.

I don’t really think that a scheme like Meyer’s could hold up in the NFL….EVERYONE is fast in the NFL. Look at how long it took Reggie Bush to get used to it. And as of now he’s still just average. Everyone in the NFL is too skilled and athletic to try that stuff against. OSU’s rediculous zone coverage was filled with holes and the Bucks looked flat and confused. A better coach would have looked different against that team. And up until yesterday I though Tressel was pretty good. He must have been mildly retarded for a few hours last night. Usually OSU looks OK in the first half and comes out looking amazing in the second half (see Univ. of Cinci game).

I think OSU was outcoached, but I don’t think that could work too well in the NFL.

As a PSU fan I had mixed feelings about the outcome…..sure I like seeing OSU lose, but it made our conference look bad.

SKLM-

I fucking love it. Go gators!

That said, I have clear (but excruciating) memories of the 1996 Fiesta Bowl; how could I not feel bad for the tOSU fans? I mean, we went in expecting to get plastered by Nebraska— the resulting wounds took a year to heal and still ache when it’s going to rain— so how much worse must it be to envision slaughtering a team that then shanks you 41-14 in the MNC?

I must say, though, that I feel no sympathy for the tOSU dickwad fans sitting by us in at Taco Mac last night. I hope they fucking cried themselves to sleep, the asshats.

P.S. The above asshat comment above only refers to those OSU fans, not the classy ones who post on this blog. I’m impressed with their good sportsmanship.

TCOAN – so you actually got to meet Subcommandante Wayne at Taco Mac?

This story is missing a Mo Clarett reference.

Congrats to Florida and the SEC. As a Buckeye fan I felt know one gave Forida a chance. I felt like it was 2002 season when everyone thought Miami was going to seam roll us. I do and have always believed the SEC is the best conference in football. I warned my brother in law that we did not want to play Florida b/c of the speed of the SEC and of course our record against the SEC. Once again congrats and its Great to be a Florida Gator inthe year 2007.

Lmao the buckeyes may have lost but when ted ginn was actually playing i believe it took one play for him too score guys soo flordia had a nice game but yeah that wouldve never happened if ginn wouldve contiuned too play hes that big of a playmaker… you gator fans are idiots but flordia is a good team but they wouldnt of beat them by that much and wouldve lost but w/e things happen thanks..
