2006 College Football

[ufdale]

Last night was crazy here in Gainesville to celebrate. The streets were closed, couches (and Christmas trees) were pulled into the streets and lit on fire, fans swinging from light posts (despite being greased), people swimming in the fountains.... It's great to be a Florida Gator!!

I usually read USA Today and I was really upset and disappointed in their coverage (or lack thereof) of the gators victory. Why was there a huge article on the OSU coach but none on UF's? Why was the fact that USC will be #1 in next year's polls the cover story? So disappointing. I love how on the front it says: 5 pages of coverage, but only one article on our victory??

Simple Answer: Hate.

Who really wants to go on and on and on about how one team is gonna tear the other limb from limb because they don't stand a chance, and then have to turn right around and report how their predictions were wrong? I'm disappointed, too.

Um, do you get a different USA Today than we do in Dallas? I am counting 5 stories about the game and honoring the Gators:

"Gators Chomp Buckeyes"
"Improbables lift flawless Florida"
"Florida's freshmen are well-seasoned"
"Meyer's Gators win title with ease"
"Florida has spirited defense"

Also, I am a big Florida fan (even though I graduated from Arkansas State and Univ. of Memphis). My best friend graduated from Florida. We have season tickets and go to 3-4 games a year. We will be at the Auburn, Tennessee, and Florida State games this year.
