your ability to block out certain (read: bad) games by Quinn* - I mean Florida - is remarkable... only OSU's bad outings count here?
Maybe Florida will be too much for OSU, they're a great team. Then again, so was OSU in football. But in that title game, neither team played like it did in the regular season. Add in drastic differences in our star big, point guard, main scorer & bench play since that december meeting... and you're already throwing in the towel? Weak.
* - UF fans, I'm not comparing your team to Quinn. King merely has a mancrush on him as a prospect that most here do not share, due to 'bad games'.

I was wondering when someone in the national media was going to be smart enough to realize that calling ridiculous fouls on Oden is bad for the future of NCAA baseketball. Among other reasons, it increases the likelihood of true NCAA stars being "one and done," and it results in less national interest in the games (i.e., most people outside of Ohio and the D.C. area tuned in to Saturday's game to watch the Hibbert-Oden battle, and they got at most about 8 out of 40 minutes of that matchup).

Why Ohio State will win
As my third favorite Neil Young song goes, "Tonight's the night." After nearly five months of watching, studying and writing about college hoops, the two best teams ? Florida and Ohio State ? face off for the national championship. And if you read most experts' take on the game, Ohio State has as much chance of pulling out a victory as the Devil Rays have of winning the 2007 World Series. There is simply too much talent on the Gators squad for the Buckeyes to handle and UF will win in a route, right?
Wrong...

Starting the game at 9:21 doesn't help the game's image either. I mean, if you live in Philly and have no rooting interest in this game and have to work tomorrow, are you staying up til 12:00 to watch? Not likely.

Do they do this to protect their precious sitcom lineups? It seems like a growing trend.
