I really don't think mike hart made any significant difference in that game at all. If florida's d had held up, that game wouldn't have even been close.

Ohio state talked a BIG game also before the 2006 BCS game, and look what happened. The smaller, faster, and more dynamic Florida team blew them out 41-14.

I think it would be funny seeing the buckeyes show up in the national championship game, and yet again get destroyed by an SEC team.

I'll tell you this much, IF florida's defense can hold its own this year, they will make a run at the title yet again. Florida's offense is imo the best and most dynamic in college football this year. You can be assured they will score all over the place.

But yeah, I remember when all the talk the UUUUUUUUU did towards Alabama before the National championship game back in the day: "They'll never score on us", "all they are is defense","There offense is horrid"

Then the tide preceded to dismantle them.

LOL

I'll continue to give you guys credit for beating the crap out of us.

Kind of funny that Rammer Jammer fans TOTALLY forget the '90 Sugar Bowl in which Miami won it's 3rd national title by beating said Tide.

In the end - we are 1-1 in championship games. I have no beef with Bama fans.

Now - OSU fans are another story.

Core midwestern values (true phrase I saw on Bucknuts once) won't allow them to acknowledge that they've gotten seriously out coached in those 2 championship games.

Meyer carved their D up and so did Gary Croton from LSU.
I didn't know LSU even had a tight end and all of sudden he's running free down the field against them all night.

Tressell has fallen a notch with those last 2 bowl games in my mind.

(To be fair - he was never high in my book, but that's immaterial.)

They were clearly out coached in every aspect.....in BOTH games. Tressell was never anything special to me either.

Meyer knows the spead offense and does it well.

agree 100% on him being outcoached in both games, especially the florida game, and this is coming from an OSU fan. they needed to make some SERIOUS defensive adjustments to slow florida down, and never did, and they also just were not mentally prepared whatsoever. as for last year's game against LSU, I pretty much penciled LSU in as the national champs after their game against VT in the 2nd week...that team was beyond talented. From an OSU fan's perspective, the florida game was devastating, just an absolute sh1tting of the bed, whereas I wasn't completely upset about last year, I felt LSU was better. OSU was quite young last year and most of us didn't really expect them to be there and also didn't really deserve it....they just sorta got pushed in by all the late season losses ahead of them. that's the 2 cents of someone without "core midwestern values", lol.

ok, you guys can carry on your buckeye bashing, but i'll be watching

**Trauma1** · 07-15-2008, 09:41 PM

I'm really not trying to buckeye bash, but they deserve the bashing they do get. Florida smoked them bad, however you'll never hear them admit that. Frankly, i'm just tired of hearing about ohio state. The SEC clearly has their number.

Lets keep this civil though guys. A little smack talking is allowed though. Just wait until UM vs. UF this year. JMH and I will be at it.

....However, in a friendly way!.....haha

J, make sure you hit me up before that game!

I'm done bashing you guys as it hearkens back to the last time we played.
We aren't rivals in any sense. No point in it.

There were a few excuses on Bucknuts after the UF game. To be fair - a good number acknowledged the beatdown they got.

They didn't - and won't - come to admit that Sweater got out coached. From what I can tell, he's Bear Bryant. (Dunno why - but that's not my place to say.)

I will man. I gotta go to the Canes tailgate for a while, since I moderate a forum. My brother lives there so I don't know if he's got people he wants to see - doubt I'm going with him as he's scuzz.

I should have time to meet up with you some time - night before, pre game, or post game.

I'm not talking smack over the internet. I like doing it to little scrawny guys on liquid courage - like Tripdog.

We'll find time to chill and have a beer.

Man....low blow J. I let my irish side do the talking, and it NEVER lets me down!

**jmh80** · 07-15-2008, 10:52 PM

I don't drink - but that's not a big deal.

I've mellowed since my Dad died. Things I thought were a big deal now aren't. In year's past I would have let some stupid macho thing get in the way of talking to a Gator or Nole. Man I was a retard when I was younger.
