Buckeyes: Gator Bait!

I asked, and they answered -- meet the 2006 Men's NCAA I-A Basketball and Football national champions: the Florida Gators!

All the smack-talk about the crushing that we were going to receive, besides a little foresight by Lee Corso, made it so very fine. The stats don't lie, we made that little nut (the Buckeye) into Gator Bait and gobbled it down. OSU averaged over 400 yds offense per game, and we held them to 82 yards. They had never given up 41 points under "Mr. Sweater Vest" -- Jim Tressel.

The story in pictures, courtesy Gainesville.com and Gatorsports.com --

-- Leak humiliates Mr. Heisman, going 25/36 for 213 yds, 1TD, and 0 INT, against Smith's 4/14 for 35 yds, 0 TD, and 1 INT:
...and becomes the QB we'd all been waiting, and hoping, for in his very last game

-- the Gator defense crushes Troy Smith:
again...
and again...
-- touchdowns:
...the sole province of UF [almost], as Tebow demonstrates
...and Harvin
...and Baker -- another play-maker with a passing TD
...and don't forget Bubba with another passing TD
Heitland's resurrection from the dead:
...twice breaking his longest season field goal on the night it mattered most.

It was beautiful. I nearly cried myself to sleep with tears of joy. While others in the Gator Nation:
...felt like getting some exercise afterwards
...or just having a good time smack-dab in the middle of University Avenue


Go Gators! Go Gators! Go Gators! Go Gators!

Go Gators! Go Gators! Go Gators! Go Gators!

Go Gators! Go Gators! Go Gators! Go Gators!
