Florida Thumps Oklahoma in Title Game

If you listen real close you can hear a collective yawn coming from the South as we got to watch another over ranked team go down by double digits to a team from the South. The best college football is played in the South and everyone living here knows this. Your ESPN “college experts” like Kirk Herbstreet and Lee Corso aren’t aware of this yet and they continue to try put other teams around the country as equal or greater talent than we have in the South.

The Florida Gators only hiccup in the season this year was a missed PAT that would have sent a game into overtime earlier in the season and for that slight mistake, they almost didn’t get to play in the BCS Title Game this year. The biased media did manage to get them knocked down to number 2 in the country going into this championship game and I know they were all hoping to see Oklahoma win this one on Thursday night.

Florida had a different view and the fans from the Sunshine State knew they had already faced their competition this year by playing in the SEC each week. Facing a team like the Oklahoma Sooners, Texas Longhorns, Ohio State Buckeyes, or the USC Trojans is a cupcake game and none of these teams present any real competition. All of these teams do have a huge advantage by playing weak teams each week and getting a chance to keep their starters fresh and uninjured during the season. So when they do get voted into a game they have no business being in, they do have all their weapons available.

So the South is yawning once again that we won another college football championship game and did it by double digits again. The college football fans around the country might want to see two good teams play in the National Championship Game one day, but the BCS and their money has to over rate teams, so the weak conferences look like they match up with teams from the South.

Kirk Herbstreet and his partner in crime Lee Corso have already focused on next year’s winners and we get to watch USC get another high ranking next year and have to wait for them to lose to a team that should never beat them. This really gets old every year and the BCS needs to realize the South comes first and other conferences need to follow. There would be no debates under the current system if the teams from the South got their proper respect. We haven’t forgot the Texas Longhorns and USC Trojans game either, where they wouldn’t let an undefeated Auburn Tigers team play in their money and media driven system.

ESPN can continue their ways of disrespecting the South, but you know the South is gonna rise again next year, the year after that, the year after that, and so on and so on! If they give us a chance that is! I guess we should just be thankful they give us the opportunity ever so often to showcase our college boys from the South.

Thanks for playing Big 10, Pac 10, Big 12, and you other non southern conferences; there will be some nice parting gifts for ya! As we like to say in the South “Ya’ll Come Back Now, Ya Hear?”
