Michigan/Fla game was excellent!

I just want to know where all that SEC speed I kept hearing about was. I thought Michigan was not supposed to be able to stay on the field? If Michigan did not have 4 turnovers (2 within the Florida 1 yard line), the game would not have been close. And this was a home game for Florida as the game was in their back yard.

Peace

I'm not going to defend one conference vs another. All I'm saying is for pure entertainment value, Mich vs Fla was good fun.

Michigan/Florida was definitely worth watching.

Just notice, everyone, please, that both teams that won today, Michigan and USC, are teams that Oregon beat.

Just saying...

All of us in the SEC would like to say to the good people of Hawaii. Y'all have a safe trip home. A little late perhaps, but I mean that sincerely.:D

But for Appy State the better game would have been Michigan:D

Yeah, but that's not the current Oregon team. They couldn't hang with anyone without Dixon at QB.

There's a lot of criticism on tv about the bowl game match-ups, most notably, of course, sugar and rose bowls. This, like a lot of other things, is very easy to do, after the fact. From what I could gather yesterday, the fiesta bowl was, supposed to be a better game, with some concern about Oklahoma running away with it. Ah, experts.

BTW, Ohio State is 0-8 against the SEC in Bowl Games.

I heard on the radio yesterday that the Big 10 and SEC have played 22 games in the past 8 (I think) years.

The record? 11-11. With last night's game, it should be 12-11 in favor of the Big 10.

I think that the rap that the SEC is far superior to the Big 10 is the result of a couple recent and high-profile games. We'll see what happens to OSU.

Actually, it was both Dixon and Jonathan Stewart who were out. The bowl game (The Not-Really-All-That-Exciting-But-Better-Than-Nothing Bowl) that they won easily, Stewart was playing. I doubt they could have stayed at 2nd place without Dixon, but they might have done a lot better than they did if Stewart had stayed healthy.

And if the Canis familiaris had not paused to micturate it may have successfully apprehended the Leporidae.:D :D :D

Tim - every Canis familiaris I've ever owned micturated all the time. It's just nature taking it's course. And who wants any Leporidae anyway? They make lousy stew. :p
