Gator Got Run OVER By a PISSED OFF WOLVERINE!

No more "The SEC Is the DOMINANT CONFERENCE"

No More "Mr. Heismann Tim Tebow is unbeatable"

No More "Urban Legend Oscar Mayer Whiner" is the Best Coach...

Ain't Victory Sweet?

Oh, and that thing I said in an earlier blog about the SEC being a better conference?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

Yes, just when you thought it was unsafe to turn on the TV and watch the Maize and Blue, look what they do to you...They leave you wondering "What If???...."

1. What if we manage to kick that field goal against App State?
2. What if the Defense figures out a way to stop Dixon and Oregon?
3. What if the Injury bug hadn't plagued the team and Wisconsin hadn't played their best game of the season against us?
4. What if Chad Henne and Hart would have been healthy for OSU?

Yes, the what if's will abound after that game and, having watched it, whether they would have won or lost, I think it has a lot of people asking more questions, including:

1. Whose offense was that, anyway??? Now, I know Lloyd is capable of doing some things that will "trick" the opposing coaches and defenses as to what they are reading on the field..But folks, I watched this team all season and I can't recall 1 game where we ran Mike Hart out of the Spread....In addition, when did we start running very simple pass routes where it was "throw it up and let the receiver beat the defender?" When you go from 92 yards in the last game against OSU and pile up over 550 against what is supposed to be a pretty good SEC defense - with an average secondary, it kind of makes you wonder....Did RichRod already work some of his magic into the gameplan in order to keep Mallet around? Could be....Because I don't think Mike DeBord had those kind of plays in his book.....

2. Where was that attacking Defense all year? Yeah, I thought we could get to Tebow....Other teams had all year. But I didn't think we could get to him THAT EFFECTIVELY....Yes, Tim had his moments, but when it came down to game time, he is just not a QB that can drive a team down the field on his arm...He needs to be able to run and throw, and without time outs, well, he was forced to be 1 dimensional, clearly having to go to the weaker dimension -his arm....But hats off to the D...They kept us in it and that was a big question mark going into the game.....

3. Nuts, nuts, nuts....Even with a play-off, Michigan isn't in the mix. But given how we looked yesterday, I think we were a pretty good team at the end of the year...USC good - not yet...I am starting to hate those guys.... So next year, look out...Yes, I know that is the rallying cry for every Wolverine fan out there..but still, we should be okay with RichRod at the helm...

On to other Games

Did anyone have that Less than Satisfied Feeling yesterday? I think I am really starting to hate the BCS for more than just the obvious reasons. With the exception of the Outback Bowl and Capital One Bowls, there wasn't a watchable game on yesterday...The Cotton Bowl showed us (again) that the SEC isn't that great and Missouri got hosed....The Gator Bowl was good at the end, but everyone had turned it off by that time. Can't we move some of the New Year's Eve Bowls to New Year's day and overlap the two "Simply Awful" games - The Rose and the Sugar - in order to have something else to click to? NO!!!!

WHY?

Because the BCS wants you to watch ONLY THOSE BOWLS.....I am really starting to hate those guys....The Rose got stinky in the 1st quarter and the Sugar was ugly from the first 2 plays Hawaii made on offense for 10 yards - negative 10 yards....Yep, after the Capital One Bowl, you could pretty much turn off the TV and do anything else....They have ruined New Year's day for the Football Fanatic.....And that's sad...

Sparty - How on earth to you let that game slip away? Well, 6 turnovers don't help, but that was an easily winnable game for you....Maybe Dantonio isn't everything he's cracked up to be, or maybe with some better personell, you make a big statement next year....By the Way, Sparty, I think you cost me 1st place in my Bowl Pool, so Thanks again....

Purdue over Central - This game was bad, then got really good if you stayed with it...But the Spoilermakers found a way to suck out at the end for the victory over Central....

Mizzou over Arkansas - You know, the Cotton Bowl usually sucks, and I can't think of the last good game that was played there....I guess the Auburn Nebraska game last year was okay, but man, it always seems like two unmatched teams meet up with one getting their butts kicked....

Chick-Fil-A Bowl (Peach): Somehow, and don't ask me how they do it, but this bowl manages to put together a game that is not only worth watching, but it usually goes down to the wire...And it's the ACC against the SEC...Auburn comes out on top in OT, but who saw it on New Year's Eve? Well, I did, because I sat at home with my family, but wouldn't that game have been a whole lot better on New Year's day???

Rose - I am tired of Pete Carrol winning...Can Michigan replace this guy and the dominance that USC seems to enjoy?

Sugar - I am tired of WAC Teams getting the nod to a BCS bowl just because they are undefeated....It isn't fair to everyone else. Bust up the WAC, make the PAC 10 twelve teams strong, and enough of this already...

Tonight: The Sooners destroy a wannabe WVU team still trying to figure out how they lost to Pitt and how they lost their coach all within less than a month of looking at a National Title....

Tomorrow: Va Tech goes nuts on Kansas...This should have been Mizzou's game...

Monday: LSU probably runs roughshod over OSU....But this one could go either way...
