You didn't watch any of the hockey game did you?

Dude I watched parts of that game in HD. Awesome. Hockey with snow flurries, cool as hell. They need to bring that to Detroit. There are plenty of abandoned buildings that can be torn down to build an outdoor rink.

I know. My point was a lot of these women on here won't dare watch it(hockey), but gripe and piss about football. Hockey is so much better than football.

Close mindedness is no way to deal with sports.

Not closed mindedness on my part regarding football, I've tried to watch it (CFL) but compared to hockey it bores me to tears. There is just no comparison between the Grey Cup playoffs and the Stanley Cup playoffs, IMO. Don't worry about Deb2, we'll reel her in during the playoffs.

Sorry, back to football.............

Hell, I had both ball games and the hockey match going. Okay, so the FLA game got just boring enough for me to focus more on the hockey match. lol Then came the USC game. :::yawn::: When the hell are they going to fix this crap and give us the game we want to see for the big bowl? All this namby pamby picking shit really has given us nothing but flops for the big games in recent history (heh.. sort of like the superbowl the last four years - imnsho).
Meh... the hockey match was badass though. 76,000 in attendance is just insane! That right there is something I wouldn't mind seeing more of.

[xflajrnylvr]

Florida got outplayed but it was one of the better games yesterday

USC - Illi Yawn

Georgia Hawaii YAWN YAWN

Georgia USC would have been a hell of a game but the Rose bowl like it hundred freakin year old tradiotion of pac 10 big 10 which is so outdated the fans dont care about that they want the best teams playing agoinist each other

Ok should roll tonight Stoops with a month to prepare and an interm head ccoach in Wva should be a blowout IMO

and Yes the hockey game was awesome to watch

[chf34jmac]

There is definitely something to be said for a hockey game where in addition to his helmet, the goalie is wearing a winter hat on top of it. That was killer to see true ice hockey. Reminded me of younger days playing hockey on a frozen lake.

And I still say that Tebow is way overrated. A truly exceptional QB would make it work regardless of how shitty a team he's got around him. A winner knows how to make it work no matter what.

Lets see-2 National Championships in football, 2 in basketball, 3 Heisman trophys, 8 SEC championships, 2 "1st in the SEC's"----yeah we lost yesterday but when all is said and done I'll repeat what I scream over and over at the games, win or lose-"ITS GREAT...TO BE...A FLORIDA GATOR..SAY ITS GREAT..TO BE..A FLORIDA GATOR!!!"

I admire your passion dude, but you need to relax. University of Florida pales in comparison to a lot of other schools.

University of Florida has a handful of championships, but take a look at UCLA. 121 NCAA Championships. Jesus Christ that is a lot.

So perhaps you need to tell Albert and Alberta to get a bigger bite.

Oh, and I still would LOVE to play UF in Basketball. We would stomp your asses.

this year i wouyld agree with you dean

[Saint John]

Not sure how recent this is, but I'm sure it's somewhat recent. It lists National Championships in college football by conference. Note: The SEC was formed in 1932 and by historical standards is relatively young.

Big 12 – (16)

SEC -- (14)

Big Ten -- (13)

ACC -- (9)

Pac-10 -- (4)

Big East -- (3)

[Red13JoePa]

WV looking good early...blatant cheapshot on Slaton clearly trying to remove him from the game...

[Saint John]

The Pac 10 has the top 3 programs with the most national championships. Here are the top 10.
Population and weather allowing such an array of sports has a lot to do with it, but it's impressive nonetheless. With weather like that it's hard for for cold weather schools to compete in warm weather sports like golf, baseball, track and field, and tennis. You're certainly not going to go to Minnesota on a golf scholarship if you can go to USC.


UCLA: 100
Stanford: 94
Southern California: 84
Oklahoma State: 48
Arkansas: 41
LSU: 40
Texas: 39
Michigan: 32
North Carolina: 32
Penn State: 32

As long as Bennett stays, we are set. Half the team returns next year and a great recruiting class coming in.

"For the purposes of this page, we only counted the College Football National Champion as named by the Associated Press (AP) (1936 - 1997); and from 1998 on – the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Champ."

Using that criteria the Big 10 would have 39 national championships. For this page, we only count National Championships since 1936. Reason is that's when the AP began its poll and that's when we first had a "consensus" national champ. Prior to that there were numerous polls and numerous teams crowned "National Champs." Of course, even after '36 there continued to be numerous polls and it appears you have counted several NC's from minor polls. Finally, of course, the SEC only began in 1932; so it's a bit unfair to add in NC's from years that the SEC didn't exist -- at least if you are comparing conferences.

Not closed mindedness on my part regarding football, I've tried to watch it (CFL) but compared to hockey it bores me to tears. There is just no comparison between the Grey Cup playoffs and the Stanley Cup playoffs, IMO. Don't worry about Deb2, we'll reel her in during the playoffs.

Sorry, back to football.............

I think that might be the problem Deb...It's the CFL, which I know is your country's "pro football" league, but it's not the NFL. Also, I've been to Canada, and I'm not sure I met 3 people in Canada who weren't hockey fanatics! I don't think ANY sport would EVER top the national sport of your country! It's just not going to happen. In the U.S., hockey has ALWAYS been the least popular of the four major sports. Even though I grew up in a hockey crazed city (we had a guy from Parry Sound, Ontario you may have heard of...Robert Gordon Orr), most cities in America simply don't care about hockey and never will! Do you remember the ABSURDITY that Fox resorted to, when they were broadcasting NHL games??? The old tail on the puck to help people follow the action??? As a guy who grew up watching and playing hockey, I found it disgraceful. Unfortunately, that's what they thought they had to do to get people in this country (and I'm obviously not referring to the Deans of the world) to pay any attention to hockey!

John, Canada's national sport is actually lacrosse. My comment was directed towards Deb (dulce). She refuses to watch hockey. Only NBA(like that's real exciting). A bunch of oversized prima donnas bitchin over phantom fouls and very bad citizens. Sorry. I can make free throws better than half that league. They would rather lose and look good, rather than win ugly. Nope not my thing.

Fox did screw up hockey with the puck tail. Embarrassing. We'll see here next month. Gatorade is going to feature Sidney Crosby as their number one guy. Should be interesting. He is the face of Canada, and the face of the NHL; a good looking kid with morals, manners and responsibilities. A great role model. Beats the Hell out of Kobe, Iverson or anyone from the Knicks.

:roll: Oh gawd, back to football.........

exactly. I watched EVERY game yesterday.

the best past was the Trojan marching band.

You didn't watch any of the hockey game did you?

I did try to find it. not much channel choice here where I am at.

Nah, never heard of him.
All kidding aside, I've watched a few NFL games too and just can't get into football..........I'd actually rather watch baseball. But IMO, watching either, pales in comparison to the intensity of a good hockey game. I just got into watching hockey about 5 years ago or so. Iggy rules, on and off the ice!

OMG, I remember that, that was a huge joke over here. I remember some calling it acid hockey....trying to watch the neon puck trails flash around the ice was like being on a bad acid trip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75v0Eh_FikE Such a joke.

Dean? Lacrosse? I think thats a lot bigger in BC.

AND I actually used to play hockey when I lived in New England many moons ago. i just never got into pro hockey. the Lakers were my bag in high school and I've never looked back. Lou Alcinder ring a bell???? i've been acussed of lots of things but never close mindedness. b-ball was just more interesting to me. the fighting in hockey is a bore to me sometimes. shut up and play. opps--fighting is the best part of the game--I forgot.

Hockey is great... live. Watching it on TV puts me to sleep, like baseball. Still love both sports, but football is the best. (Go Hokies!!.... It's m-f'in gameday, ya'll!!)

Wasn't he already Kareem Abdul-Jabar by the time he got to the Lakers? Geez...you're dating yourself with that reference (and I'm only 37)! As for the fighting in hockey, it was honestly MUCH better back in the 70's and 80's! It seems WAY too scripted now, when I watch hockey. That said, there is nothing quite like a good hockey fight. Ever see goaltenders beat the shit out of each other at center ice? It's hilarious

Oh, and I still would LOVE to play UF in Basketball. We would stomp your asses.

UF B-Ball is very young and inexperienced this season, not one single starter from last years squad. Talent is there but they will/are experiencing growing pains. I went to a game at the O'Connell Center a few weeks ago and I couldnt believe how piss poor our shooting was. But-talent is there and they will get better. Next season they should contend again. And as Gators we would gladly accept the challenge to play your alma mater. We may get our asses handed to us but we'll fight till the end. Because we live by one thing(C'mon all gators on this board, sing it with me!!!): Through all sorts of weather we all stick togetherrrrrr.....for F-L-O-R-I-D-A!! GO GATORS!!!

LOL! The only thing your missing is your pom-poms.
The only time I was ever big on football was in highschool and I sided with FSU instead of the Gators (shhh dont tell my G'ville buddies).

It's official, Pat White is the best college quarterback in the nation.
