Gator Bowl Open Thread | Ohio State vs. Florida


6-6 (3-5)
Fourth Big Ten Leaders

Gator Bowl
Everbank Field
Jacksonville, FL
12:00 pm CST
TV: ESPN2


6-6 (3-5)
Third SEC East

Most years, people would be looking forward to this game like few others. A few short years ago, this was the national championship game. Now it's two teams mired in mediocrity and controversy. Ohio State is reeling from the late departure of Jim Tressel who "resigned" in May after being caught red handed for habitually lying to the NCAA. Florida is reeling from the mess left by Urban Meyer who resigned and then changed his mind to coach one more year only to resign again. Meyer took one whole year off before surfacing again to be announced as the new head coach of Ohio State. They really deserve each other and I hope they both fail miserably. We got this thread up a bit late so we'll allow you to place your vote during the first 20 minutes or so of the game.

Buckeyes acting like . . .

Considering college football is essentially tax free

Only fitting that a company called Taxslayer sponsors a bowl game.

I was just at the CBSSports.com Gametracker for OSU-Fla

MAN, those Ohio State fans are a bunch of whiny, egotistical little b*tches.

Worst fan base. Ever.

Definitely waiting

on the Rose Bowl, and then the Fiesta. Although, the gamecocks and Huskers ain’t a bad ballgame.
Penn State’s getting what they’ve got coming. Georgia is resubmitting the SEC taste in the mouths of the Spartans, and I just refuse to watch two 6-6 teams play a New Year’s Day game…

All in all, I think it can only get better from here.

OSU...Another year. Another loss to the SEC.
