You can't count on the Big 10 for anything. Congrats to the Gators I guess. But damn.
Some random thoughts from the game:
-- Shouldn't Troy Smith be required to return this Heisman? If Vanessa Williams had to return her Miss America crown for posing nude, shouldn't Smith have to give his trophy back for getting on his knees and blowing the game?
-- Did Ohio State's defensive coordinator borrow Willie Martinez's old VCR? Why did tOSU think that the secret to stopping the Gators is to let Leak stand there, get comfortable and slaughter them? A 3 man front with a linebacker playing noseguard? Yeah....that'll work. Everyone knows that you start blitzing Leak when he gets off the bus. During halftime, you should blitz the Gator band.
-- Did Urban Meyer actually send the Buckeyes film of this year's team? It looked like tOSU had been studying film the '79 Gators. Certainly, not this year's edition.
-- Laurinaitis is a french word meaning typical overrated slow Big 10 linebacker. His old man is cool, but good grief could he be more overrated?
-- If any Buckeye fans complain that Ted Ginn, Jr. wasn't in the game, laugh in their face. Ted Ginn Jr. wasn't worth 35 points.
-- Best post-game line predictably comes from Orson Swindle, "It was like watching Roy Jones in his prime boxing an Olsen twin."
All in all, it's always suck watching the Gators win. I can't even take solace in the fact that Georgia with a freshman QB and a banged up defense gave the Gators a much better game than the Sooper Unbeatable Bucknuts. Puke.
