I just heard a clip of the media speaking with the Florida players and one of the reporters tried turning what Ron Lewis said about Florida being a "good team" into smack talk and asked Noah about it. Noah, to his credit, clowned the guy, jokingly saying, "no way", "what a terrible person".  Have to give Noah credit for once, nice to see he was not going to take the bait either.

Commentary
Worst-case scenario too scary for OSU fans
Monday, April 2, 2007 3:36 AM
By bob hunter
ATLANTA -- As soon as Florida grabbed a big lead against UCLA on Saturday night, the football jokes started flying inside the Georgia Dome.
(If you're an Ohio State fan in the midst of breakfast, this would be a good time to put that knife down.)
"If Greg Oden dunks the first play of the (championship) game, they'd better be sure he doesn't get tackled in the celebration," one Florida reporter said.
"(Florida basketball coach) Billy Donovan is going to leave a ticket for Roy Hall," said another, referring to the player blamed for injuring Ted Ginn Jr. in a celebration after the first play of the BCS national championship game.
"It's a good thing the Buckeyes don't have 51 days to prepare," cracked another.

Dings for the negative comments I say!!
We are the Ohio State Buckeyes. We fear no man, or team.
We will conduct ourselves as a team of Ohio State. We don't give a rats ass for any thick headed media type who portrays our Buckeyes in a negative fashion or weak kneed fans. We are proud, we fight hard, we stand with shoulders back and teeth bared to take on all comers.
We, the Ohio State Buckeye fans and the Ohio State Buckeyes will stand up and be counted against the Florida Gators. We will fight them tooth and nail and extend every ounce of our strentgh and energy and passion to show the whole world that we are the epitomy of teams and of sports fans.
We are the Ohio State Buckeyes. Oh my

Sequel boasts strong character

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
ATLANTA -- It was the most lopsided loss of his head coaching life, but Thad Matta said he never thought about wanting another crack at Florida. He said he doesn't think the program he has established at Ohio State thinks that way, either.
"I did," Jamar Butler said yesterday. "I did want another crack at them. I knew we didn't play our best. We played pretty bad. It was on their home floor.
"Now we're on a neutral floor. I think it'll be a different game."
For Ohio State's sake, and that of its chomp-weary fans, it had better be.
Little more than three months after they lost by 26 points to the defending national champion Gators -- not to mention the football fiasco in Glendale, Ariz. -- the Buckeyes have another date with Florida tonight in the Georgia Dome.

But you'll also be showing just what a great fan you are to go directly into enemy camp to root on your Buckeyes...
