Monday, December 04, 2006 So we keep on waitin', waitin' on the world to change....Quick comment while I have a moment to vent: U of M got SCREWED. I can't even express how much I want to kick some AP and coaches ass. There's just no reason for Florida to be above them other than the fact that everyone is too chicken shit to acknowledge that the BCS DOESN'T WORK. Every damn year there are controversies about it. It's as though they were picking anyone who wasn't Michigan just because they shirked away from a Rematch. So what if the two best teams are from the same conference and one isn't the conference champ? That should be a testament to how competitive the Big Ten actually is. And what if Florida would have lost on Sat? Would they just have kept moving on down the list to pick anyone other than Michigan?
Comparison: U of M lost 1 game to the #1 team by one field goal. You really can't have a better season that that other than to be flawless. Florida on the other hand struggled every single week and lost their one game to a now #9 ranked Auburn by 10 points. That should say it all.
3 last things:
1. Had Ohio State lost to U of M back on November 17th, there is NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that Ohio State would still have been chosen to play in Glendale and the thought of a rematch wouldn't have freaked people out so much because they were such favorites all season. Why are the Wolverines ot given that kind of respect for their season?
2. I wonder if Lloyd Carr had been such a baby about things if it would have swayed people like Mr. Florida Crybaby did. Thank god that he had so much grace and class in accepting the decision. Like he said, "It's not the Michigan way."
3. I hope Florida gets stomped into the arid desert ground in Arizona and has to dig their asses out and return to the Sunshine State with the gator tails between their legs. I never thought I would root for the Buckeyes, but I would like everyone to see what a mismatch this is going to be so all those so-called-analysts can take a moment and think, "Huh, maybe this was a bad call."
