Florida v. Oklahoma

1/8/09, EVENING

Many of us are watching the BCS national championship game live from Miami, Fla., this evening. The game is being broadcast on Fox.

This is the final event of the 2008 college football season.

Please join our (sure-to-be-lively) discussion of how Florida is better than Oklahoma.

mytommyd said...: AUMom - you are right, Notre Dame is bad. A lesson taught from my Dad.; 8:58 PM
AUMom said...: Thanks, Monica.

We decided to teach them the important stuff early in life. Hence, the knowledge of Sam, I am. (My favorite is Go, Dog, Go); 8:58 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Kiss a Catholic.; 8:59 PM
AUMom said...: Can somebody tell me why Notre Dame gets three first place votes for breathing. I have never understood that.; 8:59 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: $1,750,000,000,000.00

Is anyone stimulated by that amount of money?

Watched some Hannity/Colmes earlier; 9:00 PM
mytommyd said...: Easy AUMom, Father, Son and Knute Rockne; 9:00 PM
AUMom said...: Only if I see any of that money. I am more afraid that I'll be the part of the economy who pays it back.; 9:02 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Be very careful kissing a catholic, she's likely to get pregnant.; 9:03 PM
Unknown said...: Hoopie, I consulted for many years. Now I am a permanent employee with a west coast company. I work from home.; 9:05 PM
mytommyd said...: Pinball wizard?; 9:05 PM
Monica said...: Thank goodness that's not true, BigMike. I like kissing way too much.; 9:05 PM

atlantatiger said...: Its a pinball wizard....; 9:07 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: If I'm rooting for OU will can I still feel the luv?; 9:09 PM
michael said...: These announcers have been horrible, haven't they? How about the time they couldn't count downs? Or when they were all like, "Tebow is the unquestioned best leader in football." And doesn't the horse collar rule go for grabbing the jersey, not just reaching your fingers inside?; 9:11 PM
AUMom said...: Paladin, you are loved.

Jay's and your team — not so much.; 9:11 PM
mytommyd said...: See ya later everyone; 9:12 PM

AUMom said...: Good night, Mr. Tommy; 9:12 PM
michael said...: Also, go Sooners!; 9:12 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: That's good to know Monica. I've avoided catholic's all these year for that reason.; 9:13 PM
AUMom said...: Man, I thought he was out of bounds at the 3.; 9:13 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: I'm just tired of the whole tebow worship. If I lived in the midwest would probably grow tired of the bradford worship.; 9:14 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Mikal, I think its just reaching inside the pads.; 9:14 PM
Monica said...: You're welcome, shugah.; 9:14 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: who would have thunk a big 12 defense would hold fla to 7 in the 1st half. thought they played the ole' defense. ou looks fairly impressive.; 9:17 PM
Unknown said...: Man, I do love me the meerkat move. I hope we have it next season. I think it could be improved with some head bobbing to go with it.; 9:19 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Guess OU won't be hanging 50 on UF; 9:20 PM
AUMom said...: Methinks Utah is gaining momentum for their #1 ranking in the polls.; 9:21 PM
Unknown said...: Somehow I knew as soon as the announcer said they are coming that they would drop into coverage.; 9:21 PM
Kathy said...: I sure was expecting more points in this game.

And, I agree, these announcers are pitiful.; 9:21 PM
Unknown said...: The only thing misaligned seems to be this announcers brain.; 9:22 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Awful announcing.

Possibly the worst I've ever heard on a major broadcast. I'd take Lou Holtz over these guys.; 9:23 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: had bad would a Super Bowl be if they went 5 weeks after the conference championship to play.

Will the bcs ever be changed"; 9:24 PM
AUMom said...: Monica and I could do this game better.; 9:25 PM
tigerfan44 said...: That is the "giving him the business ref". 2 time outs on a punt.; 9:26 PM
Unknown said...: Well, I will put up with Senator Holtz if you can just get him to say sufferin suckatash once.; 9:26 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: coach lou or dr. lou?; 9:26 PM
AUMom said...: Freshman mistake.; 9:26 PM
Unknown said...: Oh, I love that "givin him the business" ref. I watched that clip a lot.; 9:28 PM
Anonymous said...: Mon - Does HubbyD know you are a kissing bandit?; 9:28 PM
Anonymous said...: He does better announcing Baseball; 9:29 PM
Unknown said...: That is another thing. We need to get more players with names like Dick Butkas. Forget the Pierre-Louis crap. I will take a Butkas anytime.; 9:30 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: is it too late to bring sumerall to the booth?; 9:30 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: stupid Gatoraide commercial.; 9:31 PM
Miller said...: If Lou was calling this game there would be too much spittle on the screen to see the game action...; 9:31 PM

wartiger said...: Geez..Go FLORDIA!!; 9:32 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: I'm hoping 9-7; 9:33 PM
Unknown said...: OKay, someone please call these idiots at fox and explain to them that if they advertise their new broadcast during the game, the only people seeing it are people already watching the game. Duh!!!!; 9:33 PM
tigerfan44 said...: What is the G commercial about.; 9:33 PM
Jeremy Eubanks said...: Gatoraid; 9:34 PM

Kathy said...: My husband is telling me how he heard Luginbill on Fbaum talking about Bama's great recruiting, and my husband wonders how Saban does it. I just told him Saban didn't have anyone until signing day in February. I don't care about Bama and I definitely don't listen to Fbaum.; 9:37 PM
Miller said...: Mon,
Has Randle backed out of his visit this weekend?; 9:38 PM

Monica said...: They way they are quoting Tebow as it he spoke scripture is creepy.; 9:45 PM
AUMom said...: What did Kirk Herbstreit say about Bama and recruiting today?; 9:46 PM
weagle251 said...: I'll bet the Bamzos are loving Joe Buck's comments about how Florida hasn't been challenged since Ole Miss until tonight; 9:47 PM
Unknown said...: Now tell me, who is more valuable to his team, Tebow or Bradford?; 9:47 PM
Miller said...: Will he reschedule if he can't make it? Or is it a one shot kind of thing?; 9:47 PM
weagle251 said...: Yeah, I thought Lundquist and Danielson were bad, Mon. The guys tonight have taken it to a completely different level.; 9:48 PM
Denny Crum said...: Good night everybody. Long day, long game, and the sooners can't convert when it gets 'crucial'; 9:49 PM

This could be the momentum change of the game.; 9:50 PM
Anonymous said...: C ya Denny!!; 9:50 PM

AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: gnite AUmom, Denny!; 9:52 PM
Kathy said...: I noticed the AU plane flew to Georgia today and then flew to Gulfport. Any recruits in Gulfport?; 9:53 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: good news about Lutzenkirchen, cant wait to see trotter throwing passes his way.; 9:53 PM
mdaniel said...: Zteve,
At this point a fieldgoal would be crucial. I really thought this would be a high scoring event.; 9:53 PM
Miller said...: Did Luper's meeting with Bryce go well?; 9:53 PM
Anonymous said...: D - That would be ashame

He got rolled on, are these guys not watching the same game?; 9:54 PM
Unknown said...: I do believe that color guy could use a lobotomy.; 9:55 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: does the color guy, broadcast any regular season games for a network or syndicator?; 9:57 PM
mdaniel said...: I'd like to know how this makes the HT voters feel. The OU quarterback certainly has not done anything outstanding.; 9:57 PM
Monica said...: i'm out - gnight all; 9:57 PM

Unknown said...: I do hope nobody took the over 70 on the over/under.; 10:01 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Idiot took his helmet off; 10:02 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: UF hasn't shown they can stop the run; 10:03 PM

Kevin Skelton said...: Boomer Sooner!!; 10:06 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Looks like OU is the better team but Tebow is willing his team along.; 10:07 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Nice rack MD; 10:08 PM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: no way Big Mike still here!!!; 10:08 PM
Miller said...: Mobilz passed out briefly from the croke and lime; 10:09 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: All square in the fourth.

These special-teams units make some tackles!; 10:10 PM
Will said...: Man I leave for a few hours and you guys get rid of Slaughter and Blackmon? I have to say I will miss Blackmon, he was fun to watch. Slaughter not so much. He was one of our better WR, but that is not saying much. In the past, being AU's best WR is kind of like saying you are the tallest Saban.; 10:10 PM
mdaniel said...: Percy Harvin- Is the MAN; 10:11 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Harvin is something else. Could have run out of bounds but lowered his head.; 10:11 PM
Miller said...: That was one heck of a CHEAP move by OU...; 10:11 PM
barkley for governor said...: They don't even tell you they are going to break! This is pathetic.; 10:12 PM
Kathy said...: I need to see the replay. I think Harvin's leg got twisted by the defender.; 10:12 PM
Miller said...: What a thuggish little punk.... if you can't win fairly... try to intentionally injure them? Is that how OU plays? BUSH LEAGUE; 10:13 PM
Jet said...: I figured this out ... Florida has two things Oklahoma doesn't have.

A bazooka -- Tebow.

A long-range missile -- Percy.

I'm so brilliant I ought to be announcing this game.

I wonder if the drunks in the production truck have sobered up and figure out what a train wreck this broadcast has been.; 10:13 PM
mdaniel said...: Thanz Big Mike; 10:13 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Someone from a major studio green-lighted "Paul Blart: Mall Cop".

Amazing.; 10:14 PM
barkley for governor said...: You couldn't do any worse than these guys, Jet.; 10:14 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: will we get the badass jack or the pc jack this season?; 10:15 PM
George Huckabay said...: Slowed down that last tackle and it was dirty; 10:15 PM
Miller said...: stoops on the sidelines blowing a whistle...; 10:16 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Whiney Stoops yelling about Tebow taking his helmet off; 10:16 PM
Jet said...: Turkey-frying commercial? Filmed in West Vance.; 10:17 PM
astatguy said...: This championship game is making a case for Utah #1.; 10:18 PM
Jet said...: Best team I've seen is USC.; 10:18 PM
mdaniel said...: JG,
If you could come up w/ a decent script I think you could get GL also. I hear anything you send to FOX has a chance... How about the HABOTN movie?; 10:19 PM
Jet said...: OK ... let's cast ...

HABOTN ... The Movie

Samuel L. Jackson as AUnMobile.

Next ...; 10:20 PM
Miller said...: Utah would get my vote...; 10:20 PM
mdaniel said...: Jet,

You must admit FL usually looks better than this. How about the HT winner?; 10:21 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: D Fence -- D Fence; 10:21 PM
Miller said...: These Refs just are NOT gonna call holding on OU tonight...; 10:22 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Yes Utah looked good, I'm biased though.; 10:22 PM
Miller said...: wow...what a take away! Perfect throw by Bradford, and Black just made a heck of a play!; 10:23 PM
Will said...: These FOX guys need an Erin Andrews, to bail them out. At least when she's on I can mute the TV. Erin Andrews is one of the top three best things to ever happen.; 10:24 PM
Jet said...: I hate the Heisman Trophy ... what's it for? Best player? Most valuable?

I don't have a strong feeling about it. I guess after the conference championship games and this ... Tebow is the choice, but Bradford was a machine prior to that.; 10:24 PM
mdaniel said...: Jetz,
That one is too easy. I have many suggestions but I think they would be construded as UGLY.; 10:25 PM
Jet said...: The only thing missing from this broadcast to absolutely make me wish I had rabbit ears and got Big Switched at this very second is Pam Ward.; 10:25 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: do we have any sideline reporterettes tonight. Charissa Thompson worked the Sugar Bowl; 10:26 PM
astatguy said...: Heisman Trophy recognizes the "best" offensive skill position player. That's not to be confused with the best overall football player.; 10:28 PM
mdaniel said...: OK, I'll give you one Phormely Phred--Woodey Harelson (sp) W/ a wig; 10:28 PM
Miller said...: Wow...now even the camera work is shoddy! Could this broadcast get worse?; 10:29 PM
Jet said...: Ben Stiller as Jay G.; 10:29 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Florida's showing off now. Tebow CAN make the throws.; 10:31 PM
mdaniel said...: Have any of you heard that Obama wants the big switch delayed because there are too many people w/o the coupons and they will be w/o TV for awhile!!; 10:31 PM
FSJ said...: Welllllll....somebody keep me posted. My child will not go to sleep and is insisting on watching Darby, Pooh, and the gang.; 10:31 PM
Jet said...: Unfair (adj./adv) -- when Tebow and Harvin are in the backfield together.; 10:32 PM
Will said...: Did we name an OL coach yet? I read this quote from the OLineman form Auburn High....sounds like they know who they want if they haen't already hired him.

"Auburn also called me and told me how excited they were about me. Their new head coach told me that their offensive line coach was going to watch some more film on me, and they were going to keep in touch. They called me the other day and set up a meeting with me, so I drove over there on Monday and met with; 10:32 PM

Big MikeZ16 said...: UF needs a TD; 10:33 PM
mdaniel said...: This game is about to be OVER. Go GATORS!!; 10:33 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: how many people watch ota tv?

Also, hasnt the switch been advertised for over a year now. I tire of the commercials and scrolls.; 10:34 PM
Miller said...: QUICK ... JUMP ... PASS; 10:35 PM
astatguy said...: Depressing. Florida probably has 5 receivers on the bench who would be the best we have.; 10:35 PM
Jet said...: Gong!; 10:35 PM

Big MikeZ16 said...: Good point astatguy and they don't seem to mind waiting their turn.; 10:36 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 10:37 PM
Jet said...: Stoops and Tressel ... joined at the hip in BCS futility.

Of course, they'll be ranked 2-3 in the preseason.; 10:38 PM
Jet said...: I'm not moody ... why would you say that?

Can't a girl, I mean, guy, not feel well. I feel bloated, OK?; 10:39 PM
Miller said...: that may have been a little PI; 10:40 PM
mdaniel said...: Stoops has now lost 5 Bowl games in a row. Even though I know he's a good coach this has to make you wonder. Does he need a red sweater?; 10:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Will urban run it up?; 10:41 PM
Jet said...: He may have to if Stoops insists on calling timeouts.; 10:41 PM
mdaniel said...: Anybody see Colt McCoys GF on the telecast tonight?; 10:41 PM
mdaniel said...: Jetz,
I meant for you to pick the actress; 10:43 PM
Miller said...: Tebow can't be unsportsmanlike.... don't they know he walks on water?; 10:43 PM
Jet said...: How can the Apostle Tebow be called for unsportsmanlike conduct?; 10:43 PM
Jet said...: Not on your life Md... or mine!

Has to play herself.; 10:43 PM
astatguy said...: He called time outs on Georgia because of their celebration last year. He just slowed the clock down so the fans could cheer more, though, and didn't try to score.; 10:43 PM
Kevin Skelton said...: Hoping Tebow and Harvin come back for senior season.

Want to see the Z Force play the Gators in Atlanta.; 10:44 PM
Miller said...: I think after tonight Chokelahoma should be assessed a 5 year BCS bowl ban...; 10:44 PM
astatguy said...: I'm still ticked because they got picked instead of us an got blown out by USC.; 10:45 PM
mdaniel said...: JETZ,

Funny!! You've got 0 ballzz! Ha!!; 10:46 PM
Miller said...: Anybody think it would be a 24-14 game??; 10:47 PM
Jet said...: Md ...

Of course I don't ... I've been married for 20 years.; 10:47 PM
AUfan said...: I find myself longing to hear the three daves. And to watch LF HD TV.; 10:48 PM
Miller said...: Harris just told Tebow he's a dam good QB....

lol... after saying all week he wasn't crap; 10:49 PM
Jet said...: Depressed ... that's an amazing thing to say, but I think you may be right.; 10:49 PM
Big MikeZ16 said...: Had fun...goodnight everyone ...

SEC SEC SEC SEC; 10:49 PM
Jet said...: 400?; 10:50 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: And 400, this is crazyness

Great job by Tebow of taking the team on his shoulders, thats all that needs to be said about that game.; 10:50 PM
