GO GATORS!!

Yes, I live in California - and have not called Florida "home" for more than 20 years... But, my roots are there and I have never waivered from my college football loyalties!! (This is not true of other loyalties - it's been hard to be a Buc fan since Dungy left, and since Dr J hung up his sneaks in the 80's I've not had an NBA team either - although there is something mighty appealing about them "lowly" LA CLIPPERS... Priofessional sports are an entirely different matter, really! But the college game, that's different) And, the Gators have made it back into the Championship Game! http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/6234416?FSO1&ATT=HCP&GT1=8901
To my fellow Michigan friends out there - I do have them: my forth child is named after two of them - I offer you my condolences. Sincerely. The BCS is a mess when it comes to stuff like this. There's been controversy before, and there's been more since, it was established. But, if the shoe were on the other foot, and you Wolverines were keeping the champions of the SEC out of the BIG GAME when you, yourselves were not champions of your own conference, well... The controversy would be even greater, I think... Where would we have played? The Sugar Bowl? Against Notre Dame? (well, that would have been easier, no doubt... :) )
Anywho. The congrats to the Gators. Let us enjoy this while we can... OSU looks awfully tough.
