Funny that you mention that, as I didn't know that Gatorade was actually created in Florida (true story).

I thought everyone knew that lol. :laugh:

I think the Gatorade gave it away

Big game is tonight

Florida vs. OSU, 9:21pm EST

For fans of neither team....who are you rooting for?

I personally will be for OSU, being a fellow Big10 fan and everyone is writing OSU off and pretty
much already handing the trophy to Florida. Gotta root for the underdog.

Also, payback for the Footbal fiasco that OSU delivered

 

[slsmnaz]

Having seen my team play both twice, I gotta say the Gators if it's clicking. They just have too much skill for OSU to match up. Horford/Noah vs Oden will be interesting (for a half) but Humphrey could be the x factor. I won't be cheering for either team though.

 

[digiram]

Not rooting for anyone.....Just hoping for a good game, but I think has too much depth in the inside for OSU. Oden needs to come up big, and be a huge force for the Buckeye's if they are to win.

 

[CallMeJoe]

I'm afraid that, once again, it will come down to how the game is officiated. If they call a tight game, Oden will get in trouble early and Florida's depth in the paint will decide it. If they "let 'em play", Oden will run wild and give OSU an edge. Watch the early plays and see if they call Oden for his moving picks. That'll be the first sign of a closely called game. Of course, it could also go like the Georgetown - OSU game, where they call the first half tightly, and let them loose in the second half. If that's the case, whichever team adjusts fastest to the changing refs will take the game.

 

[mpitts]

As a Michigan fan, I should be rooting for the Big Ten and OSU..

FVCK THAT! I hope it is a replay of the BCS championship. Maybe somehow Horford or Brewer will sack Troy Smith..

Letting Oden play is like letting a thug mug everybody. OSU wouldn't even be in this game if he was called for all of his fouls (by rule an intentional against Xavier).

That guy gets away with murder. Fricking 35 year old THUG. Let's hope the refs not hand OSU the game like they have in previous ones.

 

[BlancoNino]

WTF they are calling every little thing against OSU. I've noticed that tournament games tend to be decided by whichever team gets in foul trouble first. The refs made some pretty bad calls against OSU pretty early so that's pretty lucky of Florida.

Edit: And another bad call against Oden.

Edit2: Last touched by Noah...but lets give it to Florida anyway.

Oh well, what else is new. The NCAA lets all the Florida schools get away with anything.

I'm a Michigan fan too, but I'm pissed off Florida played in the title game rather than Michigan. Besides, I root for my conference.

seriously, how many times did he get left back? looks like a 40 year old convict

 

[ungsunghero]

Boy...how much money has Corey Brewer made himself in this tournament?

I wouldn't be surprised if he was a top-12 pick in this year's NBA draft.

 

[EvilYoda]

Awesome commercial there

Another Wolverine here, but I'm happy seeing OSU getting owned.

I don't get the whole "root for my conference" thing. I live in the heart of SEC land, so if anyone needed ammunition for an argument it is me. That being said, I take more pleasure in watching OSU and their fans suffer and lose. If OSU wins, what good does that do me or any Michigan fan?

 

[conehead433]

OSU getting pwned. lol

 

[five40]

Totally random question...what was the name of the song that was played during the intro of the game that recapped OSU's road to the championship (it was a very popular song but I don't know the name)?

 

[w3stfa11]

Oden is dominating in the paint.

And Florida is nailing those 3-pointers.

 

[tfinch2]

Noah's draft stock has dropped since last year. He hasn't done sh!t this whole tournament.

You'd think a world class athlete like Oden would be in shape. It's pathetic how tired he gets. It's not like he's a big tub of lard. I've never seen a player of his caliber be in such pathetic shape.

7/11 isn't good...it's dumb luck too. They happen to be getting lucky and hitting those wild 3-point shots (some are open, but most are contested or WAY behind the line). Also, Florida is getting a lot of very lucky bounces and Richard should have been called for offensive goal-tending for dunking a ball that was about ready to fall back into the cup.

 

[CallMeJoe]

excessively long post on rules deleted

 

[w3stfa11]

Why the hell is OSU shooting those long 3-pointers?
