A startling fact, seldom discussed, is that Florida was 1�3 during the regular season against teams that ended the season in the BCS Top 25 (Tennessee – W; Auburn – L; LSU – L; Georgia – L). With Michigan surely to join the final BCS Top 25, that record will be 1�4. Or, .200 against good teams. That sucks.

In some ways the game reminded me of the ‘92 Sugar Bowl when a top 5 Gator team played a barely-top 25 Notre Dame squad. Gators were indignant at having to play such a lowly rated team, and Spurrier is the one who jokingly asked “what is the difference between Notre Dame and Cheerios?”. Dumb(founded) reporters replied “wha’, huh, dunno”, and Spurrier said, “Cheerios belong in a bowl”. Man, we sure laughed hard at that one! Anyway, N.D. beat the stuffing out of Florida on that day. Manhandled them and, gasp, ran with them stride for stride. The lesson here: don’t take your Midwest teams too lightly because they just might knock all of your teeth right down your throat.

Michigan and Florida seemed to be equally fast. The real difference was that Michigan, on both sides of the ball, seemed to be STRONGER. Michigan dominated Florida at the line. That, plus the great play calling and the mental focus of the receivers, was enough to overcome 4 turnovers. Motivation can be powerful. Heck, back in the 80’s a 50 year old mom lifted a vintage chevy and saved her son. Michigan really WANTED this game. Tebow didn’t look bad, he just didn’t have much protection . . . especially at the end of the game.

WTF is a gummy hummy…?

Or I don’t want to know, for the sakes of visiting my grandparents with a clean mind ever again.

As a fan of an SEC team other than Florida, I honestly don’t see why a UofF fan needs to worry about the Gators next year not producing quality wins. I look for those sons o’bitches to live up to a sure pre-season top 5 ranking with that young D one year and spring training better. You got beat in a crappy non-BCS mid-level bowl by a good team playing under the ‘win one for the gipper’ mentality. Anyone saying “The mighty have fallen” is just trying to fit a cliche into the wrong spot. As much as I hate it, Florida is still very much a threat for the SECE next year and more. The fuckers. If I were a Gator fan, I too would be jacking off at the chances of another MNC, instead I’m pretty sure the Cocks will be teasing me instead of the other way around.

“31 – They�re going to score more points next year when they have a real RB in that Moody guy from USC.”

Here is the question in question:

“Who needs a defense when you can score 50 every game?”

Your answer doesn’t answer it.

I really think Florida has created a logical fallacy all its own. It’s something like this:

Team A has Problem B
Team A will cure Problem B with TEBOW!!!!!!!!!!!1
Therefore, TEBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Grr – After that debacle of a coaching search (outcome = good but process = bad),I should know better than to trust the Michigan athletic department. Contrary to the post-game notes at Mgoblue.com, Michigan’s total yard bowl record is not 527 from the 1901 Rose Bowl, rather it is 715 yards from the 1991 Gator Bowl versus Mississippi.

Another reason for UF fans to rejoice – that’s a good 190 yard difference in your favor.

“Neither would I, because i�d be masterbating too much to the thought of a second national title in three years. Who needs a defense when you can score 50 every game?”

Um, Florida, apparently.

28 – I didn’t think Michigan would win but I thought they would play their best game of the year because they were healthy and you know they wanted to win one for Lllloyd.

Anyone else see that Alabama & Clemson are opening 2008 in the Georgia Dome? That’s crazy go nuts.

“If I was a UF fan I don�t think I would be getting a lot of sleep this offseason.”

27 – Neither would I, because i’d be masterbating too much to the thought of a second national title in three years. Who needs a defense when you can score 50 every game? I don’t remember USC 2003-05 having a great defense. Good, yes, but they won by scoring a shitload of points.

Gator fans rest easy – it’s not like Michigan’s offense is that bad. For example, did you see that 91-yard, 3-point effort we put up at home against OSU? How about that 7-point effort against Oregon? True, the offense did have 300+ yards in the first half of that game, but managed to score only once after crossing our opponents 50 5-6 times. Just because Purdue was the only other team we scored 40 points against this year, there is no real reason for you to be concerned.

So what if Michigan’s 524 yards of offense was only 3 short of its all-time bowl record? Your defense almost limited Michigan to the 479 yards we gained in our loss to Appalachian State – and they are a three-time defending national champion.

And is really that shameful that only Minnesota also gave up over 500 yards (561) to Michigan this year? I mean really, we did play defensive powerhouses like Eastern Michigan and Notre Dame.

College football is a weird game. I wouldn’t have taken 100-1 odds that Michigan would win.
