It seems like every other school other than Florida atleast attempts to play other schools outside of their conference. Georgia goes to Oklahoma State, LSU is traveling to Washington this weekend, Michigan did a home/home with Oregon,

as a OSU fan I know Ohio State had/has home/homes with:

Texas (05/06)
USC (08/09)
Miami (09/10)
Cal (11/12)
Tennessee (13/14)
Oklahoma (15/16)


Florida never has any of these games. They had a gave vs. Miami last year which was played in Gainesville. They would never travel to Austin, Norman or LA to take on another big time program.

I think Ohio State picks one tough out of conference game a year because they know they need a big game on their schedule to help make up for not having a conference championship game to play.

florida as i said plays florida state which used to be a tough out of conference game but now is not as strong of an opponent.

I will concede that you are right florida does not travel because they don't need to. Do you think Ohio State would travel if they did not think they needed to in order to make up for the lack of that big game at the end of the year in the conference championship? I think that is the same reason USC does it. They want to make sure they have a statement game people can look at.

That is just how i see it. I can't argue with you that Florida travels because they don't. I do think that not as many schools as you seem to think Travel that much.

The USC and Texas games were scheduled way before other conferences had a problem with the Big Ten and Pac 10 not having conference championship games. They were scheduled back in 1999. Ohio State, USC and Texas do this because it's good for college football. They schedule them to get exposure.

Michigan loses when they travel because they suck.

They also lose at home to appalation state and Toledo.

Ohio State schedules big non confrence games not to get to the BCS championship, rather it's a great recruiting tool. From a BCS standpoint they would be better off playing a powder puff.

As far as Florida is concerned, i could care less about them.

The only thing I want to happen this year is Florida to lose. I absolutely cannot stand Tebow.

As a graduate and lifelong fan of LSU I agree with wanting Florida to get knocked off, hopefully by us. My big problem is with Tebow as well, but for a different reason. As a Tiger I always root for Florida to lose when not playing in the S.E.C., and as a rule the Gator QB is enemy #1. I really want to hate Tebow and watch him fail but for some reason I just can't. After watching interviews with him and reading stories on his life I can't help but like the guy. He’s just really a genuinely nice person. Don't get me wrong, on 10/10 I want him to lose by 40 or more points but other than that I hope he has continued success.

I mean, the guy is a beast on the field, there's no argument against that. He is fun to watch when he's playing a team I don't root for.

Im a huge GATORS fan so,
I can understand your dislike for Fla as a team since you are a LSU fan. But I just wanted to say I really resect you for your opinion on Tebow.(genuine sportsmanship) I mean How can anybody not like the guy ? He's an amazing athlete not only on the feild but off as well. I don't know of any other college athlete that would go to some 3rd world country for their summer to do humanitarian work like he does. IMO there needs to be more people like him so that kids can have someone like him look up to that might not have any positive roll models in their life. And maybe some of these so called pro's in the NFL could learn a thing or two from him. Anyway Im just stoked that it's that time of year again

I have to agree with the punishment. It wasn't Blount's first problem. But the Boise St. guy should get a game suspension. He was charging him for 20 yards yelling right into his face. If he wouldn't have turned his head away so quick he might not have had to deal with this from all his buddies for the next several years : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-NS1XIj ... re=related

and so it all begins in a few hours

Off to Madison for the Badger game. Nothing like partying in Madison on a college football Saturday. GO BIG RED!!

Blount got what he deserved. What a piece of shit thug. No place for that in college football. Hitting a player is one thing, but then after that trying to go after fans is a completely different story. Glad he's done for the year.

I don't think you can say Tebow is over hyped, the guy does pretty much whatever he wants on the field. I'd say for once a player really deserves what they're saying about him. You can label him "over" whatever you want, but in the end he's just going to run "over" your team.

...and yes, I can't believe I'm coming up in defense of a Gator player, I feel really dirty. :shock:

not one team wanted to draft him as a qb in the recent nfl draft. all the scouts and some nfl teams said at best he's a 2nd rounder and not at qb

Just watched the end of the LSU-Washington game. Washington already has the spread covered (17 1/2) and scores a TD with three seconds left to hit the over, which was at 53 1/2. Somewhere in Vegas, there's a 50-50 split of celebration and pissed off people near the sports book. This post was strictly for entertainment purposes.

For ONCE maybe twice I have to agree with you here about Tebow and I don't even like Florida. I live half a year in S Florida and a household that's ALL Gators and Tebow rules the day there. He is outstanding off the field as he is on the field, finds ways to rally his team around him. As great as he is a college player I question how well of a player he will be in the pros.

Even though with the character that he poises, I don't think that failure in the pros matters too much to him. Even though they were smashed yesterday, GO TERPS.

Peace

Big 12 is gonna be a ride this year. Two teams (my two) that were supposed to be down this year, Texas A&M and Mizzou put a hurtin' on their foes. Weaker foes to be sure, but big schools. With OU losing to BYU (wtf?!) the season has started off upside down. Good times.

Being a UTAH fan, I hate BYU....but it was nice to watch them smack OU. ACC and Big East get automatic BCS bids and the Mountain West does not? That's the true WTF. :shock: :shock:

Yeah...What does Bobby Bowden actually do? It looks as though he isn't involved in an aspect of the offense or defense?
