Glory. It is fleeting. It dies almost as soon as it is born, and a moment’s thought can make it evaporate into the cold vapor of the existence. Thus, strike all thought: there are fireworks, and the air, and the irresistible urge to loll in the moment though you know there are flights to catch, work to do, and calls to make.
Forget them all. This is glory. Grab it while you may.
24-14. Florida.

USC as a combined team couldn’t carry harvins jock strap if it meant the national championship.
Meyers giant stress pimple alone would win a NC game against USC by 47

Heck of a game… too bad it couldn’t go the other way.
Congratulations to all the Florida fans here, (and I guess, by extension, all of the “SEC fans” who plan to live vicariously through Florida for the next 8 months).
It is a great feeling to watch your favorite team win a national championship; a feeling that I hope to have again sometime soon. Orson’s right, Gator fans, soak it all in and have a cocktail on me (except that you’ll be buying).

Orson,
Thumbs up to you, Holly, etc, for all of your effort into making this site what it is. All of the non-UF fans that follow it are a testament to just how great a job you guys do. Plus, you make the off-season go just a little faster. Again, my thanks, gratitude, and appreciation.
Go Gators.

Can Oklahoma be officially banned from the MNC game now!?
2003 January 4, 2004 2 LSU (SEC) 21 1 Oklahoma (Big 12)
2004 January 4, 2005 1 USC (Pac 10) 55 2 Oklahoma (Big 12)
2008 January 8, 2009 2 Florida (SEC) 24 1 Oklahoma (Big 12) 14
Texas, by virtue of 41-38, should be the only Big 12 school worthy of the contest.

How Bout them Gators!
I want to thank Orson for the awesome site, and also send props out to Oklahoma. They played a great game. USC and Utah are welcome to start pushing for a playoff. Our president tried and got shot down. Anyone who doesn’t want one is a moron. In the meantime, USC and Utah are welcome to shut it. Muhahahaha!

Great teams rise to the occasion and overcome. The 4th Q against Bama and the second half against OU convinced me. Congrats to UF.
However, the calendar does say 2009. Therefore, we are all undefeated again. All except….Colorado State, who I have decided to randomly taunt for the remainder of the year. Rams suck.

CrimsonBarrister says:
Congrats to UF. While Tebow is approaching a Jordanesque ability to will his team to victory, I think Harvin was the best player on the field last night. That guy is scary and I am sad to say Bama would have lost by a MUCH larger margin had he played in the SECCG…
But enough with the gator lovin’…
To get the 2009 offseason started right, I am here to remind you that Aubarn has not beaten a Div. 1/FBS team since September 2008 and has not scored on Bama since 2007…
That is all…

Congrats Florida, especially for the cover. The line went from 3 to 6.5, but they still covered. I had faith and dollars riding on you.
Geori – did you ban Florida after their 62-24 thrashing by Nebraska? Past years results are not indicative of future returns. Otherwise Florida wouldn’t have been allowed to play this year after losing to Michigan, who lost to App St, in the Cap One. Please ban yourself from posting stupid shit.

Knowshon, Staff to the NFL. Smoltz to Boston. Florida wins a second MNC in three years. Nice little week I’m working on here.
Congrats, nevertheless. As any Georgia fan knows, it’s not as easy as you’ve made it look for the past three years. I hope Florida’s ready for the Joe Cox era.

You can thank the Schnellenberger Mojo for the assist in the MNC those teams who prep for bowl games at FAU are now 4-0 (FAU 2-0, Penn State 1-0, UF 1-0).
Also just remember you guys have only won 1 bowl game in a row, not 2!
GO OWLS!

Dave says:
Congrats Gators!
One day when I’m old and sitting in my rocking chair telling stories I’ll be able to tell my grandkids about how I saw the only thing Tim Tebow ever did wrong in his life and how I became a better person just by watching him.
Now can he please just go to the NFL so the rest of us don’t have to hear about him? He’s great, but it’s gotten to the point where it’s twice as bad as the USC lovin of a few years ago.
To the Trojan fans: Sorry guys, I think you’d beat either team that played last night, but that’s not the system we’ve got.

Zambonius says:
to FightOn and all the other USC folks:
Yes we count this national title. No it’s not mythical. Are you saying you wouldn’t claim it if you had been in the bcs championship game? We’d love to play you guys. Yes you’re a great team. Yes you probably should have been the one playing us, but you weren’t. You didn’t win this year. Hopefully we’ll meet next year and settle it. Until then, quit your incessant whining. It’s tiresome.

I will say that watching the SEC beat the Big 11 and Big12 for MNCs is boring. A Pac-10/SEC MNC game is needed.

FightOn says:
Zamb,
I don’t count any of SC’s eleven national titles as real. Remember the NCAA has never recognized a champion in Division 1 football.
You didn’t beat the best team in the country. Stop patting yourselves on the back and pretending you are the best.
2008 Florida Gators BCS Champions?
Yes.
2008 Florida Gators National Champions?
Not even close.

FightOn,
heheh so you never celebrated after winning any of those mythical championships? Are they just empty for you? No joy? heheh I hear what you’re saying, and I think we’re the best 2 teams in the country and we should have played. But think of it this way – you should be thankful that you didn’t play us too, because your enormous egos would have gotten knocked in the dirt with the rest of your trojan covered body parts. so shhhh. there now. it’s ok. Until there’s a playoff, we’re gonna celebrate when we win, because we can. If you choose not to, that’s your problem.

Steve-O says:
To people who argue that Florida is the best team and it should have been USC playing them last night? How badly do you think Florida beat Oklahoma? I have a feeling that had OU scored a couple more times like they would have had their coaches/Bradford not had their heads up their asses, Tebow probably would have pulled it out anyway, but those looked like two pretty evenly matched teams to me.
Also, should Tebow be getting this much credit? He had a couple really nice drives and gets the credit for many of the third down conversions, but he threw two pretty terrible picks and Harvin looked, to me, to be far and away the best player on their offense.
January 9th, 2009 at 10:16 am

Mr.Pelican Pants says:
Athlon Sports predicted Florida would win this year, as did Phil Steele…..they both concede that if Tebow comes back, with their defense intact, they will win yet another MNC…..hopefully USC can get in this time and make it fun…..I would have been curious to see if Demarco Murray had played, if Oklahoma would have scored at least once going into halftime….great game Gators, can Tebow please go pro now? I dont think I can wait til 2010 for a Alabama SEC Championship…It is amazing how the WHOLE season for alot of teams came down to ONE PLAY….IF Iowa miss the field goal against Penn State and the Texas secondary makes the INT against Texas Tech, we would have Texas vs Penn State in the BCS MNC game…….and I think it was at the 2:31 mark in the 4th Qtr where Percy “smacked that ass” on Urban….LOL…Urban jumped up and turned around like he was gonna punch somebody and realized it was Harvin, and Harvin is all like “What ya gonna do?”
That.Was.Priceless.. …. I Tivo’d it 3 times and laughed out loud til it hurt……NOBODY WOULD EVER DO THAT TO SABAN…..although I would love to see it…..only maybe Julio after two 2 TD’s in a MNC game we are about to win, but short of that, I think Sabans Dark Side of the Force would immediately choke him down from 5 yrds away, then finish him off with fire beams from his eyes, turning the offender to ash……all on live TV….and no one would be suprised…

Trust me, there is no SC fan who feels thankful that we didn’t get to play Florida this year.

Zambonius says:
Steve-O and other Sooners,
I certainly meant no disrespect saying we should have been playing USC. I was just trying to make FightOn feel better about himself so he’d go away. heheh That was a GREAT game last night! I was impressed with Bradford – the guy kept an amazingly calm demeanor throughout the game, and made fewer mistakes than Timmy – we had to take the turnovers, not just have them handed to us. Thankfully we had Harvin or the game would have been dramatically different imo. And thankfully Tebow showed up in the second half. Complete respect for Sooner nation and Stoopsie (except for the jerk that was yanking on Percy’s leg – that was pretty weak, bro.)

It’s kind of cute though seeing them celebrate.
Pete Carroll will be waiting by the phone for a call from Florida, LSU, Alabama, Georgia, etc. Just call him up and say you want to play. Hell, SC will even come to you. We don’t have to call it a “championship” game or play it in January.
Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime.

Good Lord. Everyone talks like USC should be in the NFL or something! Anyone who’s scared to play them is weak. Yes they look like a great team, but if they’re so impressive, why don’t they go undefeated every year? HUH? They are beatable. EVERYONE is beatable! That’s why we play the games, folks! Remember?
btw, enjoying the smack talk FightOn. heheh keep it rollin! I need humor to help me with my hangover at work. Here’s my volley: How many points did your vaunted defense let Penn State score again? They’re a big ten team for gods sakes! lmao

btw that would be awesome – Urban should call Pete and have the teams meet in some back alley field like Rocky and Apolle in Rocky 3. Utah and Texas would be welcome too if they want a crack at us

meatybob says:
Listening to post game, I have never heard a more light regarded National Champ ever. “Yeah, Florida is great, but USC would have killed them’.
Not to mentions, does anyone honest doubt that the Utah D would have stonewalled either offense. Granted, Florida ’s D would have presented problems too, but geez, that was some iffy offense today.

Orson,
The point is the BCS championship is a fraud. To celebrate it is a joke. No one outside of the state of Florida (and Kirk Herbstreit) actually believes the Gators are the best team in the nation.

T-bird says:
SC fans talking about mythical national titles is laughable. Your 2 MNCs you have won this decade are both tainted. The first one you get left out of the title game and LSU won it, the Second one the voters obviously put the wrong team in the title game as.
It’s alot easier to cry foul when your #3 and got to play Penn State in your bowl game.

oc phil says:
No “Fight on”, Florida won the game and celebrate it they should.
Pretty much every year somebody gets screwed over, it’s the nature of the set-up. Even as a USC fan I think Utah is the team that got it the worst this year.
Being a USC fan is like being a Brazil fan in the world cup. You can’t win it all every time, since winning it all takes some luck no matter who you are. But every time you are right in the thick of it and the eventual winners are usually lucky not to have faced you directly.
USC will have pretty much the whole offense that destroyed Penn State back next year. The linebackers will turn over but there are some great ones waiting to step in (Chris Gallipo will be a name you will hear about next year) and there will be a mix of veterans and new players on the DL and in the defensive backfield. If Taylor Mays stays instead of going to the NFL then the defense won’t have much of a drop-off.
USC will be USC next year. If Tebow and Harvin come back, UF and USC might well line up in an epic championship game.
