Words cannot even begin to express the thrashing Florida put on OSU (I have to use just their initials b/c calling them by name would be giving them too much respect and they lost ALL of it last night). Several Observations:
1. Look out, 2006-2007 is the year of the GATOR. We are the FIRST and ONLY team to win National Championships in the same year in both Football and Basketball. Could we go for a hat trick?
2. Florida held OSU to, count 'em, 82 TOTAL yards of offense. This is the fewest in ANY BCS game in history. The domination we put on them last night was worse than what our basketball team did to them on December 23rd, and that in and of itself is impressive.
3. Troy Smith looked great in a Florida Jersey last night. He had one drapped all over him for the entire game thanks to the likes of Jarvis Moss and Derrick Harvey. Also, that was the best Heisman performance ever: 4/14 for 35 yds and an INT. I will relent, however, b/c he is a classy guy and the things he had to say after the game were admirable. Troy, if you ever read this, just know this isn't an attack on you, it's just venting frustration at the media who trashed us, bad mouthed us and said we didn't belong all year.
4. OSU never even knew what him them. Sure they sucker punched us with that opening kickoff (which there was a blatant hold on Reggie Nelson that should have called that back), but after we torched 'em with 21 unanswered points, they had the quintessential look of "Wha' ha happin" on their face the rest of the night. Even Jim Tressel did. Hilarious. OSU had absolutely NO answer for the Gator Offense, Defense and even Special Teams (Chris Hetland, you are so money).
5. Last, and most important: Bravo to our senior class. They never quit, they never gave up and they never said "die." Even with the Ron Zook "purging" (that was a JP quote), they hung in there and bought into the Meyer system. They took care of business even when everyone was saying they didn't even deserve a chance this year (to be in the conversation of the BCS title game) and won not only the SEC (they head and shoulders above the rest best conference in the country), but strong-armed OSU for the national championship. I loved to see Chris Leak, Dallas Baker, Jemalle Cornelius and others go out the way they did. What a great ending to great careers for those guys.
I could go on, and on, but the bottom line is this: IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!
How's this for "style": THE University of Florida 41, OSU 14

All I can say is Urban Meyer and his staff are hands down the best staff in football right now.
All you need to know is we made one of the best coaches in CFB look like a JV Special Teams coach on the biggest stage!
Touche Senor Meyer, touche.
Best $350 I ever spent.
The whole experience was...surreal.
