OK, finally time for a little gloating.
Pan, we kicked your teams ASS.
guccilvr - you too.
I was just re-reading all your smack talk through this thread and you guys must be absolutlely sick after seeing your offense get suffocated by the Gators. I have to think the criticism that the writers are giving everyone involved would be worse than anything I could say.
But.........(I couldn't say nothing)
:
Wonder why Urban Meyer lobbied so hard for his team to there? ANS. He knew how good his team was. (He coached at OSU, he knew he could beat them). All the other coaches are drinking the Big 10 kool-aid. He had to state his case as best he could. His kids deserved nothing less. Maybe Tressel knew too?
Speaking of Tressel-his team deserved to be more prepared. For you guys who haven't watched every game I will tell you, the Gators did nothing different to OSU that they haven't done to everyone else all year. Spread offense, option, motion, reverses, be prepared, take what the defense gives you. Those are not gimmick plays, that is the offense. And unlike Boise State, the linemen are 6-4, 325 and the backs all run 4.4 forties. The whole Leak, Tebow platooning thing is a masterstroke. Meyer uses them like a two-headed monster, letting them both do what they do best. Tressel and his staff had 51 days to prepare. But I think they were too cocky to admit that anybody could play with them.
Troy Smith deserved better. Tressel probably cost him millions. The coaches has absolutely no answers. There were no halftime adjustments to be made, only the bitterness of knowing that this beating was going to continue for 30 more minutes. Scored on 6 of 7 drives. Forget field position, that just kept us from making 80 yard drives instead of 60.
Meyer said it after the game, 'you guys were all the inspiration we needed'. More ANALysts drinking the Big 10 kool-aid. Watching Eddie George before the game and then during halftime was priceless. Seeing Emmitt chomp him after the game while George blathered on was great.
Oh, and as far as bandwagoning goes....I'm sure you didn't mean me???
I told you we were going to win the day after we beat Arkansas.
Congratulations again.....Florida Gators 2007 National Champions.....
Pan, BTW, the biggest winner of all was Vegas. 83% of all money bet was on the Acorns.
