THE Ohio St / Florida game, LIVE...

Ok, I can't believe it's been like 40 days since OSU has played a meaningful football game, how the hell does that make any damn sense? This is almost the national championship for 2007, as OSU just dominated 2006. As soon as they beat Meeeeeee-chigan, that was pretty much the tits at that point, and the season was over. But alas, we now have an "extra" game, and since there isn't shit else on tonght, lets live blog this out, see what happens....

8:03 - We are LIVE from casa de King. We are finishing off a bottle of cianti, and the 1st of what will more than likely be upward of 300 "24" commercials just came on. Jack Bauer may as well do color comentary for the game as many times he will be on TV tonght.

8:05 - The highlights of yesteryear are using the same music as the Sixers use pre-game with clips of their last NBA championship.

8:07 - The crew for the pre-game? Some no name playing the part of James Brown, they have Jimmie Johnson in there, and Eddie George and Emmitt Smith. Forced much? Jesus, why try to make a rivalry out of OSU-UF that doesn't excist?

8:08 - I'll admit it. The cursive "Script Ohio", that the OSU band does is pretty impressive, and damn cool.

8:10 - Should be a lot of talent that will be playing on Sunday's in this game. While it doesn't have the "star power" as the USC/Texas last year, it's only becasue a lot of the talent is young. From OSU's defense, to Tedd Ginn. From UF's speed, speed, speed. The Tebow's, the WR's, and the LB's are all freshmn and soph's, so no one just no one knows them yet. But we will. Lotsa future millionaires out there tonight for certain.

8:16 - Prediction? I don't see how UF stays within double digits. I think this whole "speed" thing has pissed off the Buckeyes, and Chris Leak isn't even in the same league as Troy Smith for playing in big games. Smith always makes 1 "big play", Leak makes 1 dumb play. That right there is the difference in this 1 me thinks...yes, I'm also hoping that we get some Gator Co-Eds on screen tonight just like the rest of the world. If they don't? Then the terrorists have won.

8:25 - Ok, 1st hilarious moment, hopefully of many.... when UF came out of the tunnel, this old man got damn ran over, all he could do was throw his arms in the air and panic. Much like Eli Manning in any football game. Good times...

8:28 - Who in the freaking hell is in the booth for well, arguably the biggest college football game of the year. Fox really shit the bed in getting BCS rights, they don't have nearly anyone to fit the bill. Barry Alverez was a solid coach, doing a fine job as AD for Wisky, but in the booth? ugh. Hey, at least it's not Joey Theeesmen though.

8:33 - Kick Off. Jesus it must be nice to live on the west coast. By the time this game is over, it's past last call. I hope I have enough wine...

8:34 - Well that was fast. As I said, that Ginn kid may just turn out to be a decent ball player, oh yeah, does UF still want to talk about speed?

8:35 - I'm fairly certain unless the gators score a td here, Ginn wins MVP and tOSU wins the national championship. Sometimes you just kinda know....

8:40 - Florida decided to at least show up, how cute. Here comes Tebow... no pressure here freshman. Why in the hell would Meyer fuck up the rhythem his offense his offense has now? And on cue... Tebow for 8 yards up the middle. I guess thats why.

8:42 - Everyone who bet the under has already ripped up their ticket and are starting to drink. Heavily. Baker for the TD, dangerously close to getting picked, but great pass from Leak.

8:49 - Troy Smith almost tears his ACL, he looks fine. Florida forces a 3 & out and have GREAT field position once again. Nice job by them keeping their poise from that 1st shot in the mouth.

8:54 - I've seen 3 plays and roughly 8 commercials. 3 plays in 12 minutes, no I'm not pissed or anything.

8:55 - BOOM! Percy Harvin is crazy quick, but got straight planted on that one where he lined up under the gun. Remember his name though folks.... kid has game.

8:56 - Big 3rd down here for both teams, tOSU needs to stop the momentum, UF needs to capitalize on the field position

8:57 - Another great throw by Leak. That's Meyer's system, rolling the pocket, and crossing routes, Leak nailed both of them flawlessly. 1st and goal at the 7....

8:58 - Percy harvin makes me look like a guru as he uses nothing but speed to get into the endzone and it may be 42-35 halftime at this rate....

9:00 - check that, he's down at the 1. Sets up another big 3rd down....

9:01 - double reverse, the downside to live blogging this... TD stands. And I'm a genius again, well at least until the next prediction

9:06 - Tedd Ginn limps to the locker room.... um....... that kinda changes the game a lil.

9:07 - Troy Smith gets sacked for a loss of 96 yards, and Derrick harvey the guy that just ran him down from behind (very impressive), and also has 2 sacks tonight, is down holding his knee. Honestly, from troy Smith almost going Mcgahee on us, to Ginn, to now Harvey, can we please just call this game and not ruin their careers?

9:11 - It's like bizarro world. Smith just threw the ball to no one in particular, and it gets picked off. Now Leak is out there like Tom Brady hitting wide outs all over the field, he's like 7 for 7 80 yards. All this, and there is still 2 minutes to go in the 1st quarter....

9:13 - 8 for 8 for roughly 100 now. Can I take back my vote for MVP since my guy is currently getting fellated in the locker room?

9:15 - 8 different guys have touched the ball on the offensive side of the ball for the Gators, impressive playcalling. I'll give you Leak's offical stats when I can, but they will be impressive, ANOTHER solid playcall by Meyer with that reverse, with all that speed you alsmot have to over persue and over commit, it's now 1st and goal... and Leak throws it away in a good decision. Not a bad 1st incompletion

9:17 - Tebow enters the game for the Brandon Jacobs, Marion Barber role, he gets to the 2. it's kinda funny, the white guy runs and the black guy passes. Hell of a combo they have going though. 14-7 Gators and it hasn't even been that close.

9:21 - That sound you hear are people jumping off the Buckeye bandwagon.

9:23 - 1st shot of the student section for UF, and it she had a chin like Abraham Lincoln, my lord she looked like the wicked witch of the west in the Wizard of Oz. Joakim Noah is a better looking girl than she is.

9:24 - Dumb penalty for Florida, now OSU has 1st and 10 at the 38, just compounded a big play by Troy Smith. Still no Ted Ginn.

9:27 - TD Pittman, the one that DOESN'T beat his wife for those of you not familiar with college and just watch the pro's. 35 points total in 16 minutes, my lord.

9:31 - tedd Ginn returns from the locker room, and my MVP pick from 10 seconds in to the game is making his Bernard King return. He just wanted the sympathy votes as well. I wouldn't change my bet. I know who WON'T win it... the defensive cordinators. Brutal.

9:34 - Gator Cheerleaders... still not impressed.

9:40 - Nice job by tOSU defense to force a stop. It's been a great game thus far especially by Florida. Already better then all 4 games played last weekend in the playoffs, ok the Eagles/Giants game looked to be played at a fairly high level, but I was also drunk.

9:44 - My MVP is on the sidelines, but not playing. I'm still holding out on him coming in for an 80 yard TD to win he game and thus wrapping up my MVP choice.

9:48 - I'm starting to think there are more commercials being shown tonight than the Superbowl. I've seen the rock em sock em robots about a half dozen times. Only reason I haven't clawed out my eyes? They don't sing.... this is ourrrrrr country". Fuck. That. Song.

sideways.

9:50 - The defenses have finally lost the deer in the headlights look, and the defensive lines are starting to move the line of scrimmage. The people who bet the under are too drunk by now to notice.

9:52 - Percy Harvin = Speed. It's like he's constantly being chased by a large animal with big teeth.

9:57 - Kicker for UF's last name is Ihaus I believe. If he starts smashing pumpkins and hangs with a bald white guy (much like Gonzalez) We'd have a new leader in the clubhouse for funniest moment of the night.

10:00 - Tressel panic's at the disco goign for it on 4th down form his own 30, and well, that didn't go so well. florida can really break this open going into halftime here. They also get the ball to open the 2nd half.

10:01 - The booth just referenced Waiting to Exhale. I'm being serious. Do they really think a lot or 30ish year old black women are watching this game? I'm speechless to how damn crazy that was. As I"m sitting in disbelief, the kicker for UF puts another one through the uprights, not a nail in the coffin that a TD would have been, as it's still only 13, but points none the less. You have to feel pretty good right now holding a ticket with UF on the moneyline or the over, well we already knew the over. Go ask the guy standing on a bridge right now with his under bet.

10:08 - now THAT will just about do it, until my MVP Ginn has a 3 TD 2nd half. Gators defensive line is all kinds of quick and relentless, forcing a fumble. Gators 1st and goal from the 5 to just about end this with a TD.

10:11 - the booth announcers are absolutely clueless as to the time line to this game. I'm drinking and have a better grasp.

10:12 - TD Gators. And um, I REALLY wish I was in Gainesville tonight.

10:13 - They have put 34 points on the freaking Buckeyes. In the first half. Um, wow. I'd like to take this time to acknowledge that I realize my picks for the bowl games were a little less then steller (I think I only won 1, including saying something along the lines that OSU would roll here, etc). Let me say I was out of the college gambling circuit for the first time in many years this season. warrants mentioning. The lesson? I'm an idiot.

10:16 - halftime. I'm switching to Dogfish. I have a feeling this blog will get cut short due to the score and we not really wanting to watch rock um sock um robot commercials, mentally challenged gentlemen calling the game, and having no rooting interest.

10:28 - Ok, for fuck sake, it's not going to be until God knows when to start the second half. I'm sure as shit I'm not live blogging for 4 hours tonight. If the game picks back up, we'll re-join this clusterfuck. If not, congrats to the Gators, that was an absolute ass whopping no one saw coming.

Boise St for National Champs!!!!!
