Huzband Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 it's a simple wager... I found a BBQ joint in Tampa called Big John's AL BBQ. I proposed to Danny that if UF loses, we ride down there and I'll buy him lunch at this place whilst any and all from the board come and gather about to give me grief about the superiority of one team over the other. When UF wins though, Danny and I will travel to Gainesville so he can buy me lunch in Adam's Rib BBQ there again whilst receiving commensurate grief from the assembled masses. Seems fun, yes? Too bad he doesn't like to bet on college football... Like I told ya today, either way I'm in hostile territory. Other than a free lunch, I don't see where I win. But I'm up for the wager anyhow. Hutch, we don't mean to leave you out in the cold. (Okay, maybe we do. ) It's just that, although there are not many givens in college football, this one seems to be. Bama got way too close last year, & they're even better this year. Remember, elephants never forget. Link to comment

motoguy128 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just curious... but if Florida and another SEC team finish the season #1 & #2, should they still play for the national championship, if they already played in the SEC chamipionship....or is it unlikely that a 2nd SEC team will remain #2 having lost in the SEC championship game. Could we have a scenerio this year where LSU and Florida end up playing a "best of 3" to decide the national championship if Florida and LSU played in the SEC Champ. and Florida loses. Link to comment
Husker Red Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Possible, but unlikely. If you lose head to head voters would be unlikely to vote you into a rematch. If they played a fantastic game in the SEC championship, decided in triple overtime, voters might place them one and two again for the national championship game. Otherwise I think think "the regular season IS college football's playoff system" and the SEC championship game winner would be the highest ranked. Link to comment
Knifemaker Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Possible, but unlikely. I agree unlikely.... I believe the only time I can remember a chamionship game in where a team lost heads up in the regular season and payed again in the BIG game was 1996 Fl vs FSU but of course they were in different conferences. Was FSU and VA Tech in the same conference when they met in the BIG game 1999? Link to comment

There have been rematches of Regular Seaon Conferrence Champions where the other team won in a bowl Nebraska and Oklahoma have done this. But for National Championship games, the '96 games is the only one I know of, and it took a domino effect involving a bunch of schools (including a Hurricane postponed make-up game) for that to happen. Almost happened in '06 w/OSU and Michigan. No, VT was Big East back then. Link to comment
bayoubengal Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Going with the current instead of against here, the winner of the assumed SEC Bama vs. UF, in the BCS CG vs. Texas could be a hell of a game. For some reason the SEC seems to get more skill players but have you seen UT's record for recruiting linemen? Pretty impressive. But they often stumble against OU. Boise are you listening???

Tim!!!!!! Thanks for reminding me of my FAVORITE national championship game! 52-20 Florida, in what Bobby B. called "an old fashioned a$$-whooping where we brought the a$$" It was once rumored that the National Park Service was going to close the Louisiana Super Dome as an Indian burial ground... Goooooooooooooooooooo Gators! This just in... Reading at a second grade level? "We can still assume that every Seminole at least knows how to count to 14, which remains the relevant number: As it stands, FSU still has to wipe 14 victories from Bowden's career total, a fate that may actually be looking more and more attractive to him -- if you remove those wins from the 2006-07 seasons, the unfolding disaster in 2009 suddenly looks like an improvement."

Congrats to Texas Tech. Our offense completely no-showed Saturday, which put entirely too much pressure on our defense against a really good team. Lots of work to do in Lincoln. Fortunately, I missed the game because I was riding the Cherohala Skyway! I've been wanting to spend some time on a Road Glide so I rented one this weekend. I really liked it but the weather prevented me from really pushing it through the twisties. The weather protection was fair, but I got a lot of helmet buffeting on the highway. I would have to experiment with different shields or lowers, but this is the one bike that could lure me into buying a Harley. Cold temps around 35 degrees and raining most of the day, and we turned around before hitting the highest elevation because I was worried about ice. Still worlds better than watching my Huskers take a beating. Beautiful view on the Skyway. The lower elevations were better, but it drizzled the whole trip. Link to comment

tallman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Bill, The SEC came out yesterday and issued an apology for the bad call(s) in the Arkansas vs. Florida game. The league stated that one call in particular, a personal foul on Arkansas that gave Florida a first down at the 10 where they scored on the next play, was incorrect. IMO, they should have called it on the UF player who initiated the contact even though he was the one knocked on his butt. The other calls (pass interference against Arkansas and a non-call for offensive interference in the end zone by UF were not publicly dealt with but conveyed internally to Arkansas. The Arkansas coach will not be fined for his comments about the ooficials on his TV show. In the end, still counts as a win. Link to comment
tallman Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 And, an update. That officiating crew has been suspended for their multiple mistakes in the Ark UF game as well as the mess they made of the last UGA game. With the ALDS and ALCS umpire gaffes it hasn't been a good week for the officials. Here's hoping we show up to play tonight. Link to comment
Jake Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Here's hoping we show up to play tonight. I kinda like the Noles game plan.

tallman Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 A badly needed win. Worst behavior and conduct I remember in a while. I think that is a result of the pressure from the "what will Bobby do" drama. We need to play football and not act like hooligans. And, some of the best plays for us in a while. 98 yard pass pretty cool. Of course the obligatory blown call at the end of the game taking an int. and TD away. A great start to the weekend for college fans. Go Noles! Link to comment

Exciting that they could come back like that. It's very interesting how much attitude, momentum and confidence affect college football. Florida State is not a bad team, but they have been so down on themselves they couldn't do anything right. I hope this win gives the team the confidence boost they need. Link to comment
