FLORIDA FOOTBALL: FOOD FOR A MAN'S SOUL

History Rewritten

Michael of the Braves and the Birds catches Coach Tommy Bowden trying to rewrite history. Michael of course refers to Tommy’s comment in SI that goes as follows:

“Not long ago, it was Florida State and Miami dominating college football. Where was the SEC then?” said Clemson coach Tommy Bowden. “These things go in cycles. The SEC has had a nice run. I’m sure that the ACC or another conference will take its place.”

To this Michael brilliantly replies “Yes, where was the SEC back when Miami and Florida State were so good in the 90s?”

1993 Sugar Bowl, Alabama 34 - Miami 13

1997 Sugar Bowl, Florida 52 - FSU 20

1998 Fiesta Bowl, Tennessee 23 - FSU 16

I’d say the SEC hasn’t gone anywhere Tommy. Lay off the booze.

there is no doubt the canes and fsu had good teams in the 90’s, hell we would have had a couple of undefeated teams too if we played in those two great and storied football conferences.thanks man for being the first person to make me laugh every morning.

Don’t forget, Tommy, that Miami wasn’t part of the ACC until *after* its five national championships and 2002 BCS title game appearance. Before that, they were part of the Big East.

So, technically, the only good school left standing is FSU. And they also lost a title game to Oklahoma in 2000.

Idiotic statement.

Typical Bowden. Clemson should keep this idiot on the football field and away from the microphone.

Yes, but in one of the most hyped showdowns of the 1990s, Emmit Smith’s brother lead a mighty 7-4 Clemson team over a 6-5 Pookie Jones lead UK squad, thanks to a fumble by one marty moron. That peach bowl was the ultimate bowl of the 1990s…:)

Why look like every other Gator? Stand out from the crowd. Getcher Flaw-duh gear at the Orange and Blue Hue Fanshop. It's cool, it's edgy, and tastes better than Tony Joiner's sandwiches!

Amazingly, someone offered to pay Gatorpilot to write about college football and basketball. He covers the SEC for AOL's FanHouse. His five latest posts:

"... one of the best Gator fan sites I've seen on the web!" -Florida College Sports

"Orange and Blue Hue, for your viewing buck, is simply a better Gator blog than we can ever hope to be..." -Orson Swindle, EDSBS

"O&BH is, was, and will continue to be the best UF site on the interwebs." -Kevin Donahue, Fanblogs

"Orange and Blue Hue is the best Gators blog by far. They can be homers and still criticize the team. Most of all, they are flame throwers when someone takes a cheap shot at UF. That's what you want in a blog." -mlmintampa, Alligator Army

"One delusional Gator... patently absurd... insane... bizarre desire to see Spurrier fail... malicious, self-aggrandizing vitriol... totally ridiculous." -Gamecock Man, Garnet and Black Attack

"Any win over the Gators is a fluke... the Saurians simply own us and any Bulldog win in Jacksonville has to be filed under the heading of 'even a broken clock is right twice a day.' They're just better than us and they're never not going to be, even when we occasionally catch them on a bad day and luck into a win." -T. Kyle King, DawgSports, after Florida's 2008 49-10 victory over Georgia
