You're undefeated and the Utes are killing you? Wow, you're tough to please!
I think BYU-Utah will be an undefeated showdown for a BCS bowl, personally.BTW, your emoto-meter is brilliant!

You know... I really hope it is (not just for Utah, but for the MWC), but I've seen too much erratic play from our offense. We got way lucky against Oregon St.
I update the Emot-o-Meter almost daily! I am thinking of putting the
on the rightmost side if Utah actually makes it to another BCS bowl. 
What made it even better was that we ran it right down their throats all night with speedy little RB's, and a couple were freshman! We didn't grind out that win. We sprinted from start to finish, and LSU had NO IDEA what to do but watch us run.
You may also want to prepare yourself for when the Spin Doctor mentions that his top dawg DL with the big mouth was out with a so-called injury. Surely he would have accounted for 35 points had he been playing.

Oh, I heard it alright! I haaaaate Danielson--he's always trying to make games seem closer than they seem, too. If a team is down 21 but gets 2 or 3 first downs, he starts saying "Uh oh" and talks about a momentum shift.
I'll admit, I thought this was gonna be a close game, but as usual, Gard went waaaay overboard.Well...I waited up as long as I could for Gard tonight. He must be hiding somewhere. The "mighty" LSU defense.....the "brutal" running game....what a load of horse puckey! I'm with you on the Ole Miss and Miami defense being better than those jokers in yellow and purple.
This line of Gard BS especially makes me laugh......"Nothing like fresh defensive linemen in the 4th quarter to take the wind out of an offense's sails..."

Bwahaha!I just ordered this shirt from GatorZone.com:

I understand what you're saying, but I would like to see the teams that pulled off impressive wins today get strongly rewarded for them. But as you said, the games ahead will settle a lot of this.
Ouch.
Well said.
In other, somewhat off topic news... The WR from my high school is currently the #30 recruit in the nation, and Urban wants him to replace Percy Harvin. We also have 2 other recruits in the top 150 who also have offers from UF. If any or all of them decided to commit, it would be sweet.
However, Les Miles from LSU showed up at my HS football game on Friday night in a helicopter to check them out. This is all pretty exciting. We've had one player from our HS go pro (Jeff Faine of the Saints, and now Bucs) and two guys in college (one guy benchwarming at Wake Forest, and one guy starting D-line for FSU), so it will be exciting to have kids in some actual good programs next year!

Which HS did you go to?
Oh and re: Harvin, not that it mattered by the end of the game, but NICE push-off on the defender to score the first TD...
Ahhh, good old Sanford, FL...I lived in Casselberry for a few years, then right before I finally escaped the hell that is Central Florida, I was in Altamonte Springs. My family was split between Altamonte and the Clermont (where I also lived for several years) areas when I was growing up.
Yup, Matt Forte went to HS at my old cross town rival, Slidell HS. Good to see a local boy do well.
Oh, puh-lease. Even Danielson didn't say it should have been a flag, and do you seriously think Harvin needs a push to beat someone to the endzone? Meanwhile, nice pulling on Harvin's shoulder at the goal line on 3rd down, when we ended up having to settle for a FG. And I'm pretty sure Gators CB Joe Haden got called for breathing on the receiver on that uncatchable ball in the 3rd.
Not that any of that mattered.
Wow, the Gators climb to #5. That is really generous. I was expecting #7 or #8. LSU going all the way to #13? That seems like it was too far of a drop. I figured them to drop to #10 or #11.

I'm surprised at Florida moving that far up, but they dominated on a national stage, so maybe I shouldn't be.
I'm not so surprised at LSU's drop 10 #13. Realistically, who else have they played? A win over Georgia or Bama will move them back into the mix.
Last nights game didn't hurt Missouri too badly. We dropped from #3 to #11, and we're facing #1 Texas next week in Texas. If we can bring Texas down, then we'll be right back up there, but we'll have to play harder than against Oklahoma state.
