Later Gators…

“Give me a Gators loss this Saturday and this three day span will rival Christmas and New Year’s.” – Canes305 on 10/12/06 discussing Virginia Tech loss on Thursday and recent losses by other rivals.

Every Miami fan had to love taking in Auburn 27, Florida 17. Yes there was a controversial call and true, Auburn scored on the final play making this one look like more of a blowout than it really was. The Gators came to play, but the Tigers’ defense and special teams wouldn’t be denied.

Much like the Miami Dolphins celebrate every year when the last undefeated team is knocked off, preserving the legacy of their 17-0 season. I ALWAYS raise a glass when Florida or Florida State are no longer unbeaten. When it comes to state pride, it’s all about the hardware and bragging rights. The Gators may be the best team in the Sunshine State this season, but the loss to the Tigers throws a wrench in their quest for their second National Championship… and that’s always a good thing.

Rergarding titles, the score looks like it’ll remain Miami 5, Florida State 2 and Florida 1. Just how Hurricane Faithful likes it.

Raise a glass. I’m gonna go blow my $115 on a bar tab with some Hurricane faithful in LA tonight, celebrating this Gators’ loss and the last team I needed to go down in my four-team parlay today.

P.S. – Miami was -27 tonight. Are there bonus points for suplexes, bodyslams, helmet bashing and truly ‘stomping out’ the competition? More on the Miami/FIU battle royale and 35-0 win on Sunday evening.
