It's Florida again

How good is life down there at Gainsville? Florida is just winning NCAA championships like it's nothing. Urban Meyer has won 2 championships in his 4 years there. He probably owns the state right now. For all the hype that the Ol'e ball coach Stever Spurrier got, he just won one championship at Florida. Meyer has already won 2. While the first one was mostly Ron Zook's recruits, this team is all his. Of course I am sure recruiting in Florida is much easier now with both FSU and Miami struggling, but for him to come in all the way from Utah with a new offensive system, and make Florida a better program than it ever was under the ball coach is indeed amazing. Even his opponent on the other sideline, Bob Stopps, has just one ring and the media treats him like he is some kinda God.

It's good the season is over now. I got a little tired of the Tim Tebow and Sam Bradford hype. Tim came on top as Oklahoma lost it's 5-Th BCS game in 6 years. Thats a lot of losing, but thats lot of money for the University too. The real loser in all this in has always been Texas. They beat Oklahoma and still ended up with nothing to show for it this year. Big-12 wouldn't even let them play for their championship. At least the Fiesta Bowl let them play! There is talk now that USC might share this championship. Thats amazing to me. Isn't the BCS supposed to put an end to all the sharing? Anything can happen with BCS if you lose a game. BCS works well only with unbeaten teams. And that too if there are just 1 or 2 of them. But I love this year though. After all the East coast crap about how bad the Pac-10 is and how great the SEC is, I guess they have to respect USC now after the impressive showing of the Pac-10 teams in the bowls. Plus Alabama lost to Utah. Are you kidding me? If Utah can beat Alabama, how far fetched is to imagine USC beating Florida?

We can now close the book on this year's football season and focus on the NFL and the NBA. Cavs-Celtics and Mavs-Suns tomorrow. Good times!
