first and foremost, i would like to give to congrats to all the gator fans. savor having both major crowns, its something special.
the crowd. hard to give a breakdown, but seas of scralet and gray were in the dome, in the parking lot, around town all weekend. i was complimented multiple times by uf fans about the behavior of the fans, more than half of these guys said it was the best crowds they had ever seen a team have, size, noise and class. to all of you guys who went way to represent the state/university/all buckeyes with class.
florida. a real classy and nice group of fans, sure i saw a few abnoxious and classless people, but lets be honest the bandwagon is full and every group has a few bad apples. i enjoyed talking to everyone one of their fans, nice people who know their football.
the golf. two rounds, played poorly both times, granted i hadnt had the sticks out since late summer. good golf out their, unless you are long and wild (like me)
the pep rally at chase field (old bank one ball park). i left with a wierd feeling, i didnt like how the captains and tressel approached it, it rubbed me odd and i mentioned it to all the people i was with out their, they seemed to think i was overreacting. otherwise good to see 35k plus to show thier support.
nfl football. barely caught a glimpse of nfl football, and what i did see was at a bar ( i hate watching any sport at a bar)
osu bball. usually i do a nice write up on each game, i watched the ill game at a bar, (see above) i have it dvred maybe ill rewatch soon, if soone enough ill spill my thoughts. on the wisc game, didnt see it i was on the plane, didnt see a minute of it. same deal, though likely ill rewatch this game early sunday morning and none of you will care what i think by then.
the game.some positives mostly negatives, im sure everything has been hashed out, im sure the sky is falling for some, for others tressel still probably walks on water. the reality, the team didnt show up (see comments on the pep rally). anyone who saw the team warm up didnt see nationaol championship intensity, i didnt see michigan intensity, i saw mac school style warm up. if you dont get up for a game you wont win a game of that magnitude. was it embrassing, yes. though, im not the one who will have to look myself in the mirror everyday for the rest of my life and say "did i give my best effort in glendale?" its not the first time ive been embrassed by theosu football team, 94 psu, 95um, alabama under woody come quickly to mind. this team was dismantled. im sure everything has been said so im not going any deeper, unless provoked, but all the questions ive had and said were exposed... to that i give urban his staff and his players credit.
its great to be a florida ggaattoooorrr!
and to that i give them props, b/c it is great for them. congrats gators.

and that was not the team I watched all year as they went 12-0. My eleven year old daughter called during the game (she could not get into the Wesgate area, and went back to the hotel with her mom to watch the game) and asked why they were losing so bad. I told her it was still early, but I knew at that point it was over. No sense of urgency, no motivation, no adjustments, etc. It was still a fun weekend and got to meet a lot of Buckeye fans that made the trip out here, either at the pep rally, in the parking lot before the game, or at the other happenings throughout the weekend. Still damn proud of what the team accomplished this year, and proud to be a BUCKEYE!
