Florida's defense is God-awful. I mean, seriously.

That was a well known fact before today man. Their secondary has been actually bad this year, like New Orleans Saints bad secondary. I figured this would be a shootout, but UF can't seem to block the Michigan front four.

Urban better get the offense rolling next half or they will get beat here.

Michigan has two sets of front fours, the Run 4 where they have Jamison, Taylor, Johnson, and Graham for run stopping, then when they have to pass rush they bump Graham down to DT since he's 270+, and put Crable on DE. That's a pretty fast line to deal with.

Also Pouncey is a tight offensive lineman, he played against my cousin last year.

And it might just be me Sportsbuck and JTR who know everybody on the teams, but its funny hearing announcers talk like they never heard of Greg Matthews and Carson Butler and other players before.

I know that, but yikes. When you can't stop Michigan's passing attack something is wrong.

And does anybody remember when SEC fans were all saying that their worst teams would compete in every other conference..? How's that working out for Arkansas, down 38-7? (The SEC is the best conference, but I just like poking fun at SEC fans arguments)

[JackTheRipper]

You think Mizzou was sending a message today? Jeez, they are beating the shit out of Arkansas.

[JacktheRipper]

Well you're putting unranked Arkansas, with about every distraction possible against the sixth ranked team in the country. That just seems like a fair game right? I think most knew Missouri was going to skullfrick Arkansas today.

I'm surprised by UF though, expected more from their offense. SEC is still 5-1 in bowl games so far. That's good work IMO.

This is the healthiest Michigan has been since the first quarter of the Appalachian State game, don't dismiss what we could have been for how we played throughout the season. We are putting everything into this. Offense is opening it up, could have been a much bigger lead if Hart hadn't fumbled (1st in 1,002 carries) - and the seniors want this for Lloyd, they haven't won a bowl in four years, might be time.

DeBord met with RR for a pretty damn long time to learn about his spread offense for this game. I think that's pretty impressive to implement a spread offense in like 3 weeks.

A very basic spread, nothing fancy today. With a pretty good QB like Henne and the Gators pathetic secondary...things are going to work well. Michigan looks very good today though, no doubt about it.

I know that, but still I laugh at the SEC fanboys who say their worst can beat the best of the Big Ten.

Basic Spread > Stone Age 3 Run/Punt Mentality.

And we got the kickoff!!!!!

I'll hold you to it. And we went 2-1 against you guys last year, FWIW.

[Just Blaze]

whew, im back from an exciting Outback bowl. I cheered (hard) for Wisky but Tyler Donovan and the Badgers were too inconsistent for the ball. A lot of exciting moments in the game that had me jumping out of my seat (I sat around some Vols fans but close to the Badgers' student section). I wonder why PJ Hill didnt see more touches but an exciting game nonetheless. Hell, I feel like starting a Wisconsin dynasty real soon but dont have a 360 or NCAA

[ChisAto]

This year we have a shot to go 2-1 again. Well Wisconsin lost but is Michigan and OSU the only teams playing SEC teams?

0-1 this year.

[JackTheRipper]

Henne is absolutely on today. It's both great to see and sad at the same time because of what might have been.

28-14?

Goddam Florida. You are terrible.

[ChisAto]

2 TD lead baby, but I just wish Mike Hart would SHUT THE FUCK UP. We haven't done shit yet.

[detroitbasketball]

Great, now we have to listen to Mike Hart say they could beat anyone in the nation by this much because they're all healthy now.

[Just Blaze]

oh and if i hear Rocky Top played again, I'll shoot myself. The Vols band played that song over 12 times today and had the whole Vols fans singing along with them. At first it was cool but then it got old...fast.At least the Badgers had a variety of tunes to play

I also met a lot of Badger fans from Madison- fun people to hang around with. Boy would I love to party up there!

[ChisAto]

Even if we win, sportsbucks not gonna care cuz they'll have 1284912941924 starters coming back next year so we might get fucked up.
