<p>opie, BSU is playing at UW Sept 8th. I am so there!</p>
<p>and I agree about the Seahawks. Let’s hope they make it, but I’m not betting any money</p>
<p>"BSU is playing at UW Sept 8th. "</p>
<p>I’ll go out on a limb and take Boise. BSU also picked up WA HS player of the year, a QB from Prosser, WA that threw for a ton of yards. BSU is going to get better and better. I want to see all PNW schools do well in any sport. Look at the Cougs in hoops, for crying out loud 13-2 and picked to finish last. Beat Az (#7) this weekend and barely lost to UCLA(then #1) on a last second shot. Go Cougs.</p>
<p>Virtual candy buckeyes for everyone? :)</p>
<p>I made some real candy buckeyes last night in anticipation (I told my fiance we’re having Ohio Culture Night and watching the game and eating beef stew and buckeyes), but I’m not as good as my dad yet… let’s pretend the virtual buckeyes taste just right.</p>
<p>Aren’t you supposed to shuck some corn? (oh, I must have that mixed up with Nebraska…silly me. :))</p>
<p>Go Goeducks!</p>
<p>Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahh I was at that Fiesta Bowl! Go Broncos!</p>
<p>We do that too, in the summer – my parents’ hometown has a sweet corn festival every year in August. (This is also a point of Midwestern snobbery with me. I cannot eat the watery mush that passes for corn in New England.)</p>
<p>We will be watching with DS and his friend, who comes from Florida but will be rooting for OSU. Is that a bad sign? This kid was born with out the Spectator Sport gene, so I have no clue how he found his way into our family circle. We’ll be watching, it’s just instinctive behavior for us :).</p>
<p>I predict I’ll be dozing off about quarter 3. ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz.</p>
<p>WOW! What a game!</p>
<p>Looks like OSU is getting pounded. Although, I must admit, that touchdown in the first 16 seconds of the game by Ted Ginn was mighty impressive.</p>
<p>Ohio had 16 good seconds anyway…</p>
<p>Flordia vs. Boise State or Florida vs. USC would have been more fun, I think.</p>
<p>Fell asleep and just woke up to the latest gator score. Loks like joev got the score right-- but the schools backwards. Fla is pounding OSU.</p>
<p>Kinda funny reading this thread for the first time now!</p>
<p>And whaddayuh mean “that dreadful Sugar Bowl”???. L S stinkin’ U!!! Geaux Tigers.</p>
<p>Wow. Well, Florida won. In a sense, I think I dislike UF now, after winning both the basketball and football championships.</p>
<p>Looks like the OSU-Florida basketball game was an accurate predictor of how this game would end.</p>
<p>I am very used to disliking Florida, but am proud that in this case, that the SEC representative made it absolutely clear who was the best team in the nation. Florida made Ohio State look helpless (aside from the opening play of the game).</p>
<p>Less than 100 yards of offense. For the game. Sheesh. That was a whole lot of give-up I saw out of the Buckeyes starting 2/3 through the third. I think my dead grandmother could have done a better job. They folded like a two-egg pudding. </p>
<p>Congrats Gators . </p>
<p>Side Note: From what I saw Boise would have never given up on the game.</p>
<p>LOL where is joev? Where is he hiding? I’m loving this. :)</p>
<p>Gotta tell ya’ll, my son was out on University Ave last night in Gainesville and took a camera phone film from a light pole of the amazing crowds!! It looked like pure joy and jubilation erupting on the street! </p>
<p>Everyone screaming at the top of their lungs “I’m proud to be a FLORIDA GATOR!!!”</p>
<p>My son doesn’t know how lucky he is to have been in college where the team first wins the NCAA championship and then the Football National Championship! AMAZING!!!</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Why? What’s wrong with winning? What’s the problem with excelling at more than one thing?</p>
<p>The only problem with Florida being named as “champion” is that undefeated Boise State is the true national champion at this point and should be allowed to prove it on the field.</p>
<p>We’re Number One! Undefeated! (well, we have to share that with the Boise State potatoheads).</p>
