Sugar Bowl Bound: Florida vs Cincinnati

What happens if Alabama wins? Well, we know for sure now. After talking fellow writer Jim down off the ledge this morning, we can move on and look at what exactly happened now that the Florida Gators lost. Here’s the thing, we didn’t just lose, we got our ass handed to us. That was the biggest ass kicking since Chris Brown met Rhianna.
There was one point during the game where it looked like we were going to get back into and Tim Tebow drove us down the field within 10 yards of scoring and threw an INT to give Bama the ball back. Bama’s the best team we’ve faced all season and they exploited our defense like we were a second hand ACC team.
Was the absence of Carlos Dunlap that big of a factor? It definitely didn’t help, that’s for sure. I’m not going to be one of those fans that says we would have won with Carlos Dunlap. One things for certain though, Alabama was able to change up how they blocked our rushes with his absence.
It looked like Florida abandoned the run before we even attempted it. We ran a total of 14 times and Tim Tebow was responsible for 10 of these attempts. Why all of a sudden out of the blue are we back to the pass attack when the run has worked so well for us all season? There have been some major inconsistencies with our offense this year and I don’t think there’s anyone to blame but Steve Addazio. There have been reports that Charlie Strong will be going to Louisville and that Steve Addazio will be going with him. I hope this to be true. I will hate to lose Charlie but he deserves it and it will get Steve Addazio out of his position.
In either case, Cincinnati’s 4th quarter comeback against Pittsburgh has them likely to face Florida in the Sugar Bowl. This is Florida’s chance to prove these teams in weak conferences are only undefeated because they don’t play that hard of a schedule. We are in the same spot Alabama was last year after losing in the SEC Championship game and then going to face an undefeated team in the Sugar Bowl. Let’s hope we don’t blow it like they did against Utah.
It’s not for sure yet on whether Dunlap will return for the bowl game or not yet but we will keep you updated. If any Florida players feel the urge to go out drinking, please email or call me and I will pick you up!

That was a highly inappropriate comment the writer made comparing last night’s football division championship GAME to a serious domestic violence case. Was that necessary? Could he not have made his point in some other less offensive way?

I don’t see us winning the Sugar Bowl. If we couldn’t get pumped up to play in the biggest game of the year yesterday, I don’t see us getting too excited about this one. We’ve already heard comments from players saying that “it’s been real” and “hard to see it end like this”. So I don’t think they are too excited about going to football practice.
I don’t know why we didn’t run the option more. I don’t know why we couldn’t catch the ball. I don’t know why we couldn’t tackle anyone. If ‘Bama had beaten us while we were playing our best, that would be ok. The fact that we didn’t show up is really disturbing.

Hey Charlotte. How about since Tiger cheated on Elin. Is that better?
