I guess since it has been so many years since you could say anything to Ohio State, you feel obligated to run your mouth when you beat UF.

Good teams overcome that sort of thing, bad teams get sunk by it. I agree Skigator they are part of the game, thats what I’m trying so say.

Enough with the turnovers and how bad you would have beat us. Turnovers are part of the game - maybe you should learn how to hold on to the damn ball? yeah, and without all those missed tackles and blown coverages, UF would have won by 4 TDs.

Without the 4 turnovers the score would have been in the 60s easily. …and by a “nearly perfect game by Michigan” you certainly cant be talking about the fact that they turned the ball over 4 TIMES and allowed Tebow to score 4 TOUCHDOWNS?

Isnt that how the good teams win? By making the other guy have a terrible game? Or did all the teams Florida beat this year just have a "terrible game"? “Still, it took a terrible game by Florida and a nearly perfect one by Michigan to achieve the win.”

They played at their absolute limit against Florida and our boys did not. If you're looking for us to try to make excuses for a poor game, look somewhere else... we man up and take it as well as we dish it. Michigan won, we lost. End of story. Still, it took a terrible game by Florida and a nearly perfect one by Michigan to achieve the win. Don't forget the touchdown called back which eventually led to a blocked field goal, that Florida led late in the 4th quarter, and had two chances to win the game outright at the end. Michigan had a free possession to start the half thanks to that (brilliant) pooch kick. If the teams that UF and Michigan fielded on that day were to play ten times, each would win approximately 5. Let's wait until the end of bowl season to see if the SEC is overrated. I don't think I need to remind you that we're 6-2 right now with a chance to go 7-2 if LSU beats the Bucks in few days.

Michigan gave you guys the ball 4 times, twice at the goal line and still managed to hang 41 on you. Michigan was not only the better team during the bowl game, it was the better team all year, they just werent healthy enough to show it. I would have liked to have seen what Florida looked like without Tebow and Harvin for 7 games. Because thats what Michigan was dealing with all year. I dont view this game as an upset, Florida was just over rated, just like the SEC is over rated.

Michigan was the better team for that bowl game... but 41-35 is not "destroying" Florida. Major Wright had a lot to do with Mike Hart's fumbles as well. Okay, let’s hold on for a minute here.

Michigan's defense held Florida to some of their lowest offensive totals of the year, yes, that Michigan defense that supposedly couldnt stop anyone. I have alot of respect for Tebow, but in the passing arena, he cant hold Henne's jockstrap. Henne is one of the, if not the best deep ball passer in CFB when he is healthy. Same with Michigan's WRs, they are in a completely different league from Florida's. Its not so much that Florida was a bad team, its just that Michigan was so much better, they just hadnt had a chance to fully showcase it until the end of the season when everyone was healthy.

Florida is every bit a top tier team that Michigan is. Uh Jim, you realize Florida won the NC last year right? Florida is every bit a top tier team that Michigan is.
