Tominator Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Gators are a 63 point favorite for Saturday's game with SC Charleston Sisters of the Poor. Will they cover that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hmmm, gee, I dunno, gonna be tough that's for sure!!! LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92xj Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I remember, not too long ago, a small no name tame that went by the name of Appalachian State Mountaineers who beat Michigan the opening game. By far one of the biggest upsets in College football history. I would love to Florida get beat, I know it will not happen but if it does it would be sweet!

Gator Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Michigan doesn't even compare to Florida, not anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Michigan doesn't even compare to Florida, not anymore They won't be this good forever. I don't think they cover. They easily could, but I heard Urban Meyer talk about this game, he seems embarrassed to even be playing it so I don't think he'll run up the score.

92xj Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Never said they were. Just saying that the possibilities of these small teams beating big names can happen. And it would be cool to watch it happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, noone ever is, just look at Michigan, Miami, FSU. I haven't heard that, but some of these teams have been scheduled think 4-5yrs in advance, so you can't lay blame on current coaches either. I've seen that done numerous times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that done numerous times He was saying all the right things, but I sort of got the sense that he'll really try to not run it up. The Gators will sleepwalk to a 50-0 lead I'm sure though, so it actually might be hard for them not to cover. I'm mean, it's not like they can just start taking a knee or anything.

Gator Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I would have liked to have seen it. I'm sure they'll have no problem scoring ALOT. I kinda hate it when GOOD teams play pushovers like this, but I think we all know why they do it, it's not to pad their stats, but to look for weaknesses. About the only team I can think of that isn't starting off like this is Oklahoma State and Georgia, as they play each other this weekend. That should be a pretty dang good ball game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be a pretty dang good ball game The Buckeyes do it every year, lately they've been playing the smaller Ohio schools like Kent St, or Bowling Green. I guess they try to get other Ohio schools that payday. It's a bad move IMO. Actually, the year your Gators tore Troy Smith and the rest of OSU a new one, they had a creampuff schedule. Then, when you play a battle tested SEC team who's played a conference championship and a hard conference schedule all year you're not ready. At least OSU has scheduled home and away series against Texas and USC. The Big Ten needs to add Notre Dame or a solid Big East program like WVU to the conference, form two divisions and play a conf championship game.

Ohio board of regents poo pooed a few years ago crying that big OSU money was going to other states, why not keep that money in-state? It's a bad move IMO.

Then, when you play a battle tested SEC team who's played a conference championship and a hard conference schedule all year you're not ready. Yep. Bad move. If you're going to schedule an instate school, or a pushover to start the season, keep it at one game, not 3 like Ohio State has done the last few years. Face it, there's really only 3 or 4 perennials in the Big 10, which leaves you playing maybe 2 or 3 tough games pers season. Then you see the effect when they all get their tails whipped in bowl games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like that. However.....check their schedule after that. Tougher than anything in the Big 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
