GOOD GAME, SIR

Hey Florida, the Pac-10 called, they are impressed with your defense.

Orson,

As a Michigan fan (and a big EDSBS fan), thanks for the comments.

As artistic as a college football game could ever be.

i attribute this michigan win to that fucking fightin’-round-the-world bastard russell crowe.

As always Orson, pure class. Thank God Lloyd went out this way, but who the hell knows where this came from.

Very classy Senor Swindle. A hundred martinis to you sir!

OOODALALLY TUGGAH! LOOKS LIKE WE SHOWED THAT GUY CARR HOW TO FOIGHT!

Just for once, let’s not let this devolve into an SEC vs. Big Ten thread. That goes for both sides. Please.

As an Ohio State fan, I was glad to see Lloyd go out the way he did. He had his struggles against us, but don’t think for a second that every true Ohio State fan doesn’t respect the hell out of Lloyd, what he did at Michigan, and what he did in his final bowl game.

the michigan seniors (and there are apparently many of them) are now 1-3 in bowl games? let them have it. they played very well, and were fully prepared… or PUMPED as it were. lloyd carr seems like a good dude.

Well said Orson.

A Nobel Laureate for Grownupness to Mr. Swindle!

Well said, Orson. I don’t comment here much but felt it should be said.

If the Wolverines would have played the entire season with the intensity and heart that they played the Cap One bowl, they would have been in the Rose Bowl – at worst. Hats off to Michigan, the better team won today. Hopefully we can rebound from this loss and put in the extra work in the offseason that’s needed to take us back to championship form.

Well played UM. Nice to see a good guy go out a winner, even if it is at the expense of my/our Gators. Salute.

Congrats from me too, a Florida fan, to Michigan. You guys played great and deserved to win.

1. - actually, they would’ve only had to play with that intensity for the Ohio State game to make the Rose…

so, like what am I supposed to do with these two extra large buckets of kittens Tressel sent with his regards?….

what’s that Jim? …..save ’em for big hat boy?…. okay, if you say so….

Stay Classy, Orson. Seriously. Well done.

Ditto for the classy Florida fans.

If this is opposite year, what was 2007?

Well said, sir.

I’m still about a day or 3 away from whole-heartedly adopting that sentiment—the pain is too fresh—but I’m working on it.

Someone tell that idiot Munsburger that Tebow didn’t go down in flames today….4 td’s? No interceptions? Does that rank as going down in flames? It’s amazing how much of an ass-talker he is when he’s covering a USC/Ohio St./Nebrask game….

Orson -
That was a great game, and I appreciate at least one UF fan being gracious. I can’t count the number of App State shirts or "Div 2 … what ??? " comments I heard in Orlando. Funniest thing pregame said there:
UF fan “Why don’t you go home?”
Scalz: " Where do you live ?"
UF boy: " Pesacola"
Scalz: " Um .. I live 15 minutes from here. Have a good game"

Well said,

Classy Orson! As a Gator fan I’m disappointed but you have to feel for the seniors at Michigan— losing their last couple bowl games, never winning against tOSU, having Hart and Henne hurt when it was hyped up to be “their” year. At least three exceptional Wolverines, including Carr, got a good outro this time.

Now, I have to be honest and say we ended up switching between that game and the Texas Tech-Virginia game, which was far more fun, a lot. Seeing the pudgy Pirate King on the sidelines bring his team from 14 points down to having a winning field goal with :02 left was, needless to say, classic Leach and a good game.

Florida fans seem to be much classier in defeat than they are in victory.

At least [Name Redacted]’s performance has to be cheering up Gator fans. Going for 3 instead of a TD when down by 21? No wonder he pisses excellence.

Bobestes -
You weren’t in Orlando. It was pretty ugly, actually.

I felt the same way. Was expecting Florida to coast and hoping for a comeback out of conference loyalty, but it was great to see Carr get carried off the field a Victor in his final game.

21

I think Mussberger was trying get more of a “going down in a blaze of glory” message across with that comment… which still doesn’t make much sense because that would imply Tebow is not coming back.

And cheers to the fact that we are about 30 posts in and this HAS NOT become a Big 10/SEC pissing contest…

Just as Illinois cuts the lead to 11…

I was just wondering, since I only know what I read on the interwebs.

But if Auburn is a “shitty team,” and finished 9-4 and managed NOT to embarrass the conference in the bowl game,….AND beat an admittedly overrated UF team and its pretty crybaby of a QB…..

What kind of team is UF?

Shitty?

Come on Illini..make it a game!

Anyone have a take on that Hawaii game? Line is -8..

Eeryone is picking Hawaii and they do play tough..I can’t get over them barely beating some average team…

Oh to be in N.O. the next 6 days!

Pregame: Lambs to the slaughter(UM)

Postgame: WTF just happened???(UF)

All class Orson. A tip of the cap to you as well.

Dave

Rashard!

Say what you want about USC but they have some great traditions!

Ever notice they train their cheerleaders to NEVER look at the TV cameras..Act like you’ve been
there before.

Now here’s the upset of the day!

Orson – 100 cocktails of your choice, sir. A fine tribute from you, which comes as no surprise to this Michigan man.

Annapolis Doug – I would stay FAR away from that game…a gambling nightmare. Plus, I think fans will have enough riding on that game as fans to try to foul it up by having action on it as well.

Kate – Flipping AWAY from the UF game?? Horrors! I figured you’d be going to the game…you are located nearby Fla, no?

Finally, Vontae Davis closing in on Joe McKnight was meaningless in the end, but damned impressive to watch.

Gurn: Auburn is the best shitty, petty, points-scraping team this side of Virginia. Florida is the shittiest good team this side of Texas Tech.

This is a UF centered blog, and I am a Floridian, albeit a Michigan fan. I implore my fellow Floridians to stop wearing “Crocs”. I know the name of the footwear is similar to an aligator, but dude, seriously, enough.

DO.NOT.WEAR.CROCS.

Vontae Davis – alocal boy from around here…My USC 45 Illini 17 prediction looks true…

I’m going with Georgia 24 Hawaii 16

So…why is it the Rose Bowl wanted Illinois instead of Missouri? I mean, I understand the whole Big 10-Pac 10 thing, but shouldn’t they try to get two teams that will at least make for a half-decent game?

Good point…Mizzou-USC and Illini-Ark would have made a better day for everyone…

Anyone have a take on that Hawaii game? Line is -8..

Eeryone is picking Hawaii and they do play tough..I can’t get over them barely beating some average team…

I would be shocked if Georgia wins by less than 3 touchdowns.

Everyone is hyping Hawaii because everyone wants a cinderella like last year. and the 2nd chance after jail Colt Brennan story.

They don’t play many good teams. I predict they get the shit slapped out of them by Georgia.

Yayyy, the Sugar Bowl! I can now legitimately avoid the rest of that Rose clunker.

You may be right as line is back to Ga -9.5….but then again..a lot of late money on Ark today.

I went to Hawaii-Bama game last year…I hope Hawaii does that pre-game ritual..the Bama fans booed them…me and my buddies thought it was awesome!

The chuck-n-duck might score early, but they’ll get worn down by Georgia eventually. Hawaii is Tx Tech Lite.

Charlie Ward..I mean Jason Whit…errr, Tommy Frasier. My bad, Andre Ware. What’s his name? He wears jorts….. Oh,, I remember, Tim Tebow… My prediction for that cat is 60 TD’s his rookie year….in the Arena Football League. I say this as Rex Grossman and Doug Johnson shake their heads in disgust. Wait til M fully adopts the spread….MM,AA, Morgan Trent>SEC speed. TT=Eric Crouch

(Been a rough year in AA, give me this)

Thanks O. This is all in jest, as I fully expected an ass-handling.

Yak,

As someone who has been on all day, I’m too wore out (drunk) to start back up……

@ Annapolis Doug

I admire your stamina. I was just able to crack the first beer of the day.

You know..my dad struggled as an alcoholic. I do pretty well with it.

Wow! Fran Tarkington on FOX coverage.

I had him dying in 2003.

I may not have been here all day, but I was here the day after the App St. game, yet I don’t hear the same ppl now that I heard that fateful day. I was also here after the Oregon game. I came here as a Mich Fan and took my lumps. It comes full circle, brotha. It was an Awesome game, and I didn’t mean any disrespect, I was just giving it back as it had been given all season. I respect the shitout of UF and thouroughly enjoyed the MNC game LY.

What’s the over/under on UGA biting one of the Warriors?

51 – Maybe he did. I’ve seen no evidence he’s alive yet.

I’m suprised at the lack of highlights of the Capital One Bowl. As a Michigan fan, I was bombarded by coverage of upsets earlier in the year.
Now, not so much.

Whoa, back to the Rose and our man Musberger is slurring through something. Does he just knock back beers in the booth or what?

Sidebar,(no, I’m not a lawya, and I doubt anyone cares/remembers) but anyone who was commenting on the Jimmie Johns sandwich incident thread, and remembers the comments I made regarding my girlfriend….(again, I am sure no one cares) but I proposed thanks to the wonderful advice from er’yone, and she said yes. I did it at the stroke ( hehe heh I said stroke) of midnight before the ball dropped. Goooooo Me. kthxbie

If the Georgia team comes out and does the Hawaii players’ pre-game chant ritual, that would be very enjoyable to see.

That Michigan team was loaded and I think time will show that Lloyd Carr didn’t handle them very well…4 turnovers and still win?

Great hire in Rich Rod…the game passed LC by…

Someone jock me..a whole year of losing (I was down about $1100) wiped away

congratulations, yak.

Three hours up to Orlando and three hours back home. Entertaining game in spite of the loss — couple of Michigan fans in front of us and we all joked about how our respective teams were doing their best to give the game away — no one was sure of the outcome until under 2:00 mark.

My question — how did Florida expect to win giving Henne all the time he wanted to find an open receiver? I don’t believe I saw one Florida blitz the whole game.

Still, a much better game to watch than USC-Illini, or Georgia-Hawaii.

Best line of the year: reporter asks Lloyd Carr how, as a Michigan man, he would like to remembered. He replied, “Just that way, as a Michigan man.”

God, I’m going to miss college football the next several months.

Speed = 41-35

When’s that t-shirt gonna be available. Don’t hear the SEC fans much today!

Ha, the Florida fans are strangely quite. It’s ok though. You just don’t have Big Ten speed.

Ladies of the blogosphere, I ask you: is there anything sexier than guys who make spelling and usage errors when posting weak taunts on a rival website?

Damn…SEC can go 7-2 in the bowls and win a 2nd consecutive National Championship ..play the most exciting games all year and it’s not good enough.
