I loved that thrashing. Not only is it good to see Florida take a beating, but a strong Michigan is a threat to Ohio State, so it was a win/win.
My neighbor and I argued all during the second half of our game about whether it would be best if Florida won or Michigan won. I don't buy into the SEC loyalty. I enjoy heckling fans of other conferences (the only good thing about Alabama's dominance last night is being able to laugh at the Big Ten fans) but the only SEC team I'm rooting for other than UT this bowl season is Georgia vs. Penn State tomorrow. And only then because I despise James Franklin.
My thoughts exactly.
In the particular case of Florida, what McIllwain accomplished is pretty amazing, no matter what, but by now everyone (including Tebow in the pregame yesterday) realizes that some of it was smoke and mirrors and just plain old fashioned luck, and that going forward they have more questions than answers for the coming year. This ass-beating just emphasizes that point.
I am looking forward to our game in Neyland more than any since at least 2002, and maybe even 1998
