Discovering that you could carry an alcoholic beverage wherever you go was just like being a kid on Christmas morning. Don't think I left the hotel without one. I cannot say it resulted in a pleasant drive back to Ann Arbor, though.

Florida fans are a bunch of brats. They were talking about Florida not selling most of their tickets pregame. Because their fans think they're too good for the Sugar Bowl. That's ridiculous. How about you win more games if you think that's the case?
That's the SEC's Rose Bowl. You think Georgia wouldn't want to be there?
Hell, I'd love to see Michigan play in this game against louisville!

Florida's Drive
That drive included runs of 13, 9 (twice), 8, 6, 5 (twice) yards, and two passes of over 10 yards, and Florida gets the field goal. That's a lot of work for a field goal, in my opinion, but the closer they got to the goal line, the more mentally unaware they seemed to get.

Not saying its not still the best conference in football, because it is, but these teams can be beaten.

The South Carolina game had so many what ifs - one wrap up tackle, one less fumble, one etc...Yes, the SEC teams have won many games this year, but the notion that any conference is dominating another is pretty untenable.
Even if Louisville completely gags this game away, any notion of "dominance" should be put aside.

Hopefully the SEC will be semi fairly ranked next season. You start them off with 5-6 teams in the top ten let them play a weak non conference schedule and then drop them 1-2 places when they get blown out by 40-50 points and then act surprised when they perform like they have in the bowls.
Nebraska and Michigan where mediocre teams and took Georgia and SC to the end... Michigan should have won. LSU got beat by Clemson , Mississippi state got beat down by NW and now Florida ia getting smacked by Louisville. Hopefully ND lays a whipping on Alabama and we can put this SEC dominance to rest for atleast one year.
I just wonder where the bandwagon 'SEC" fans will go..... Nevermind i answered my own question. They'll just go back to being ND fans

Similar to yesterday evening
Similar to yesterday evening after the Rose Bowl. It seemed David Shaw (Standford HC) was trying to celebrate and the sideline reporter was pulling the "Coach, you have an obligation to talk to me" card so he stopped for a minute and answered her question. He then proceeded to kind of walk away and be with his team and coaches, why he would want to do that after winning the Rose Bowl I have no clue, and she again tried to keep him by pulling the aforementioned card. Mussberger pipes in from the booth stating that "the winning coach know before hand and is contracted into giving an interview post-game" blah blah blah. Shaw is again pulled in, after, as Mussberger lets us know, "someone must have told him the circumstance and obligation" and answers her next couple shi**y questions. It's all such a crock. I personally don't need to hear what they have to say. If networks want to have their cameras and watch a bit of celebrating that is fine. But that is exactly what they should be doing, celebrating, and not giving dull, inane interviews with fuggin' sideline reporters.
