(EDITED BY AUTHOR: 12/8/2003 - 11:24 a.m.) 1. Despite your AD & Coach publicly groveling (quite humilating) for a Rose Bowl, you're going to the Orange Bowl to play in a game that will interest nobody outside of Tallacrassy and Coral Gables. That's funny. Glad to see the "email the Rose Bowl campaign" work out so well for you.
2. Because of #1 above, you guys are in full on melt down mode, suggesting that the Big East intentionally conspired to set up Miami and ReF$U.
3. After years of lying through your collective teeth that ACC football was as competetive as other conferences, your conference basically admitted it was a joke by making agressive moves to expand to include UM, Va Tech & BC. Seeing how Va Tech and BC performed this year, its safe to say that the ACC will still be a joke after expansion. Have fun dividing that pie up in 3 more slices. Pennyfoolish, pound foolish.
4. You lost to Miami for the 4th consecutive year. You lost at home. UM's top tailback (Gore) was out. Of course, you crybabies blamed the rain.
5. You lost by 16 to unranked Clemson.
6. You "beat" Florida in a game that is almost universally recognized as being the worst called game in modern history. Your AD was so disgusted by the display of your team at the end of the game that he publicly apologized.
7. See #4 and #5 above....you win either one of those games and ReF$U is playing for a national title. The stars may never line up so well for Coach Bowden again. You guys choked.
8. Chris Rix is coming back. And you guys are trying to act like you're happy about it. He has 11 losses in three years as a starter. Too bad for you that he doesn't play UF every game. But the fact is that you guys would trade Rix for Chris Leak in a heart beat. (No, you can't have Leak).
9. 38-34 wasn't for a national championship. Hell, a win by UF on 11/29 wouldn't have even gotten us into the SEC Championship Game (bc Miami won its game). But 52-20 was for all the marbles which means that ReF$U will never own Florida.
10. You guys and Coach Bowden loved the BCS in '00 when you lept over Miami to play Oklahoma even though Miami was ahead of you in the human polls. Now you guys hate it. What gives?
11. And the most funny thing of all: You guys are relying so much on a disputed win against a 4 loss Florida team (with a true freshman QB) as some sort of validation for a season in which, once again, you completely underachieved.
All and all, its pretty g-damn funny.
Enjoy your BCS bowl. Considering that you all were in a BCS bowl last year with an 8-5 record, I can't say I really understand why the ACC even gets a BCS bid, or why you're that excited about it.
Not only will I(we) enjoy the Outback Bowl, but considering where we were in early October and where we will be in the near future, I expect us Gators to Party Like its 1996.
One program on the upswing (us).
The other groveling to BCS bowls who don't want them (you).
Its Great to Be A Florida Gator.
