Huge UGA fan here, but I sure as hell was a UF fan last night as they represented us well. Could there have been any better way of showing the country who the best conference and team in the country was???????
Herbstreit said it yesterday on ESPN radio. “Ya know. This game hasn’t had the hype as I thought. Ya know. Maybe the BCS needs to think about that the next they get ready to renew their contract.”…………….ok, dumbass………1<SUP>st</SUP> of all, FOX simply runs circles around ESPN/ABC as far their overall production from the broadcasters down to the story production. Second of all, DUMBASS……….. don’t give me that crap!!! That is pure proof you guys try to manipulate things. If u haven’t figured out what I’m talking about, it’s simple. ESPN hasn’t hyped the BCS games at all. I mean, come can we please get a F’in countdown for next year’s Rose Bowl already? That just made me sick to my stomach. If u look at the way ESPN/ABC ignored the BCS bowls, it’s obvious they did it in an attempt to hurt the affect the BCS hype so BCS will be compelled to sign w/ them next time.
<o></o>
OK……………..on to the game…….and other thoughts on this………..
<o></o>
I was sick of hearing, “Well, look at Florida’s close, ugly wins against S Car, UGA, Tenn and loss at Auburn, etc……..Where was this offense all year for Florida and how did OSU’s offense tank so bad after running up numbers all year. I don’t get it. Blah, blah, blah.” Those guys actually get paid for their opinions, damn it!!!???!!!??? HELLO!!!! They were playing SE-f’inC defenses all year long, week in, week out and OSU was playing the friggin juggernaut that IS the great Minnesota and Northwestern teams. And don’t give me that crap, “Well, look at Vandy.” Yeah look at e’m. They had YOUR Michigan squad down to the last 7 minutes within one score. And THOSE kids actually have to have great SAT’s to get in. I don’t give a F what anyone says. Vandy would be a bowl team nearly every year in the Big 10, Pac 10 OR Big 12. So, while OSU was playing the Minny, N’W, Illinois, UF was playing, LSU, Auburn, Arkansas, UGA, KY, Bama, S Car…..yeah, I know. You’re getting tired just thinking about it. Imagine being those 18-21 year-olds having to get up for that every Saturday being beaten and bruised every week.
Yeah, that’s EXACTLY what us SEC fans were absolutely SCREAMING at the TV’s when all the EXPERTS could talk about before and after the USC loss was how playing 4 tough games in a row might have an effect on USC. We have to do it EVERY week. Oh yeah and believe it or not, most of SEC fans have alotta respect for USC because they know their conference is pure crap, so they make as tough a non-conference sched as they can.
I mean, did you see the OSU players after the 1<SUP>st</SUP> 10 minutes of the game when they saw defensive tackles running Troy Smith down from behind. And I feel for those players. I really do. I have nothing against them. I feel bad for them. They had no idea what was coming. They really didn’t know how strong and fast these boys from down South were.
<o></o>
And don’t give me that, “OSU had 51 days off and UF only 36.” Well, little girls, that’s YOUR fault!!!! Play a conference title game, damnit. Plus, what’s the difference between 4 weeks and 6 weeks. Also, if the OSU coaches didn’t have sense enough to run enough full-speed work-outs………..but, oh wait that wouldn’t have done any good anyway.
<o></o>
Plus, Tressel was 4-0 on 40 days + of rest, just not this night…whatever…….
<o></o>
Yeah, and did u notice how UF really got intimidated by all the “home” OSU fans that, by the way, had a 2-week headstart on buying tix (I think I threw up when I can’t who said before the game they saw who the true conference fans were)???????? Here’s a clue. They don’t get phased. They play in it every week. In fact, most SEC teams LOVE playing on the road cuz they know the fans are gonna be absolutely nuts and there’s nothing better than to shut them all up. I mean, come on…the Big House…..110,000 fans loud………whatever. They’re place is like going to a tea party…..OSU….same thing. PSU is the only place that rivals SEC atmospheres.
And the confidence of UF…..BEFORE THE GAME……….. Meyer was asked on the way to the sidelines, “Boise played great in here last week. What do u guys need to do to pull off the upset?”……..Meyer……quick grin….. “Just wait to see our guys play tonight.”
OSU……0-8 against SEC teams in bowl games….including 0-2 against those same crappy Gamecocks that UF nearly lost to.
UF ABSOLUTELY knew they were better, stronger, faster. Just look at their comments after the game. That wasn’t smoke. They really knew, just like the rest of us SEC folks.
<o></o>
And I really feel bad for Troy Smith. He lost millions last night…..and all because he was built up so much against all the slow defenses up there. He’s such a great kid and prolly will still find a place somewhere in the NFL, but he just lost millions last night being exposed. And again, I have nothing against the players. They all seem to be great guys.
<o></o>
OK….I know what you’re thinking…………but how about Wiscy and PSU beating 2 SEC teams. Wisy, I’ll give u all the credit in the world – and I wonder, geeee conf title game against the great Tressel and OSU??????????….guess we’ll never know……Wiscy, u beat one helluva team in Arkansas, BUT……they are truly a 1-sided offense and they showed if u stick 9 and sometimes 10 guys in the box, u can stop anyone on the ground. And THE hogs have ABSOLUTELY no offense whatsoever…..and Mustain’s mommy and those o/ Freshmen from his school – their parents – caused the controversy at QB that troubled the team……..and Tenn…….whew….where do I start. Well, actually that’s simple. Any SEC fan will tell u that once Tennessee is out of the SEC race, their players just tank and honestly, they quit.
<o></o>
Last night…..all the soft coverages from OSU, going for it deep in their own territory, etc. Once they saw just how strong and fast these guys were, they were literally intimidated and knew they were the lesser team.
<o></o>
And I don’t wanna hear “Well, if Teddy Ginn……….” Well, ok let’s look at the difference here. Just UF DB Reggie Nelson – God rest his mother’s soul - said after the game…, “He needs to be playing in the SEC.” Here’s the point. He’s the ONLY player OSU has that could really match up w/ SEC speed. UF…..well, they have playmakers all over the field.
<o></o>
Cowherd just made a great comparison. It’s kinda like if u had 8 job interviews in 1 week and the next month u only had 1. About the 5<SUP>th</SUP> one in that string of 8, u just won’t be as sharp and focused. U just won’t. Well, the next month u’re gonna have plenty of time to prepare and get focused. That’s the difference between an SEC schedule and sorry……….any o/ conference in the nation. OSU had 2 interviews – Texas and Michigan. UF had interviews just about every week.
<o></o>
Ok, here’s my conclusion. You see guys, the reason, we take it so serious down here is the stereotypes we will fight for centuries to come………… “those backwoods, redneck Southerners…..” Sorry, folks the days of everyone down South living a trailer w/ the barefooted wife and hair curlers while the hubby worked at the gas station we all work hard all week and go the shindig in the barn on the weekend……………….”………………..pay attention here. They NEVER existed!!! Yes, decades ago, there were some folks that did live like that in the South. Movie producers and the media thought that would sell tix and have plastered that all over the airwaves ever since. Gimme a friggin break. What, there’s no mobile homeparks in Muncie, Indiana or Cleveland, Ohio? And I certainly don’t think that one oil rig comes w/ home ownership in the state of Texas. Well, this is one way we can slowly change that ever-pervading thought deep ion the back of Americans that don’t live in the South that no matter what………..the South will ALWAYS be a step behind everyone else.
<o></o>
Note: None of this is a vent against any poster on here. I love this place. This is just me “venting against the world.”

Thanks, Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
