Everybody wants to use the ol' layoff excuse as to why they lost the game. Florida did not play last week. They were off also, 41 days I believe. OSU was off 52 I believe which in the grand scheme of things is one week. How much of an advantage is that? None. Now I hear it was the weather. Cold weather/Big 11 teams can't win BCS games because of the warm weather climates. Ooooooohhh...ok.

Oops!!! Did I type that or was I just thinling it?

Nobody can just suck it up and admit the better team won. Florida plays in the best conference in the nation (sorry Bigs, 10 & 12). We can never say the better team won if it goes against our predictions, or it is our favorite team. We just make excuses and reasons why WE lost not why THEY won. Let me venture this, had the score ben reversed would any of the people who blame the layoff say that was the reason or that OSU was just that much of a better team? Nobody can say the better team won. It's always I give Florida props, but..., or If...

Better team won and nobody can accept it because everybody was on the bandwagon and didn't think there was any way OSU could lose. Lee Corso (bogus laryngitis) was MIA from gameday last night. Hater.
