See ya later, say Gators


Coach Rob's Florida Gators thumbed their noses at conventional wisdom (and ESPN's SportsNation) by thumping Coach Bando's Ohio State Buckeyes 41-14 last night in Glendale. We now know that the Gators own the trophy, Rob has claimed the FP title and Coach Woody has reluctantly accepted the dreaded hat. After last night, we also know that:

  • Friends of the FP Jason and Krista have a beautiful home, complete with pool, arcade games, a widescreen TV and a dojo.
  • We already knew this, but Woody makes some mean homemade ice cream.
  • Wearing team shirts backfires, unless you don't have a dog in the hunt. (Rob with Texas 0-1, Bando with OSU 0-1)
  • GQ has a future in desktop publishing.
  • Arkansas is ranked higher than Hawaii, but Coach GQ finally has a second wife, Bobblehead style.
  • Rob still has pinkeye.
  • Woody can't wait until August.
  • The matchup combination of Bando's first pick, Rob's third pick and a game featuring Ohio State located in the state of Arizona does not bode well for Bando.
It will be a long spring and summer as usual for the FP, but draft day will come. I am pleased to announce that Coach Rob is on the clock. Here's to another fun year ahead for the FP in 2007!

Thanks for the update/overview Rob. Sad that the season came to a close, but another one will be here soon. Here's looking forward to the Athlon publication date.

You're welcome. Maybe we need an Athlon clock, too. ;)
