Heavy underdog Florida annihilates Ohio State 41-14
Yesterday, I received a lot of grief at work, because I said that Ohio State was going to get beat. I went on to say there was only one legitimate conference in the United States and it is the SEC. This morning yet again I am proven correct. You can't take someone who plays three real games a season and claim they are number one. Teams in the SEC are among the best in the nation and nearly every weekend the teams of the SEC go about trying to clobber each other. When you play against good teams a single bad play can turn a game without being a reflection on the quality of the team as a whole. Our records will always be worse than those who effectively spent 3/4's of their seasons running nothing more than televised scrimmages with the other bad teams in their conference. The best other conference record is equal maybe to a 7-4 season in the SEC. We've got to get rid of the BSC and move to a playoff arrangement in college football. That will clear up any confusion on who the real contenders are in the NCAA football once and for all.
Having said all that the Florida Gators are the most reviled team in the SEC, one of the best teams money can buy to boot. I was cheering for both teams to lose, I just hadn't figured out how to make that happen. What makes it worse is that their fans rival all the other worst fans in the SEC, they will be incorrigible today and I know like 10 of them. So I'm going to start taking headache medicine now.

I was with you for the first paragraph, but then you committed blasphemy.
Sinner! Florida is hated in the SEC for one reason, we win and win and win, even when we aren't supposed to, most of the time that is. You've been out of the South for too long. SEC football is the South.
Somebody needs to do a story about the millions in lost revenue from Ohio State "championship" t-shirts. Was thinking of getting one once they "fall of the truck" and put on the back..wait a second, Florida 41 OSU 14 or something like that.
Say what you want about Bush, but leave Florida alone....Gator Bait!
I guess I'm one of those "incorrigible Florida fans"..hehehe
