Michigan punks Florida

[chamrocck]

This game was one of the best bowl games this bowl season. I'll be honest...I actually do not like Michigan...they are always on TV, seem to always benefit in the rankings because of their name, frankly are sort of boring to watch for me, and just annoy me for some reason. I am indifferent on Florida but I usually like to watch them when they are on TV. However, in this game I found myself rooting for Michigan. First, I was not excited about this game because I thought Florida would just whack Michigan like 41-24 or something in this realm. I really didn't feel that Michigan was going to be able to stop Florida.

 

As this game went on, it was great to see that Michigan was playing inspired football. They wanted to win for Carr and the staff (who Rodriguez is firing them all!). The Michigan kids were playing football like I want us to get playing back to...conventional wisdom said they had no business beating Florida (in Orlando)...but they said screw that we are Michigan and showed tremendous pride and played great as a team...their WR's were making awesome catches and their guys were throwing big time blocks and driving Tebow to the ground...Tebow got knocked silly a few times where he got thrown in the air and another time where he had like half the field turf stuck in his facemask after Michigan pummeled him. This was the first time I have ever seen Urban Meyer look like he was wetting his pants on the sidelines...he had that look like he knew he had not prepared because Michigan was to just roll over given all the stuff their program had been going through of late. I was surprised Meyer did not have his team ready...Florida battled back but this was Michigan's day.

 

Congrats to Michigan...they showed what playing inspired team football is all about. Even though I am not a fan of Michigan, I give them serious props for that game...awesome game.
