I don't know about all that. I think that most true Gators have a lot of respect for OSU's traditions. It is fun to dominate, and sucks when you are dominated. The Gators are smoking hot right now and we are damn proud of them. It's too bad that your team lost the last two times it met ours, and I think will lose again Monday night. That doesn't mean that we don't respect your team or your traditions. I think any college sports fan base in America would love to change places with the Gators right now. Even you guys.

It won't last forever. Just relax and bite the pillow if you have to.

Good luck Monday and GO GATORS!

Well let's go back to 12/23 when your fans were saying how over-rated we were. That's respect? Or let's go to all the farks of our Script-Ohio that went around during the national championship game?

Understand something, sports aside, I have a lot of respect for the history of almost any university. Those are put in place by the past, those are history, and I hate to say it, those are sacred.

I don't have to relax and bite a pillow, tho thanks for the offer, simply put, tOSU has done a lot more than almost any other school. I live in Southern California, and I am watching a college football dynasty take place at USC, and even though it irritates the hell out of me, I appreciate it, because it's history.

The same goes for Florida currently, however, at the bar tonight watching the game game I had to leave because the Florida fans came in, while I understand this isn't all the fans, it is the representation.

Don't let anything I say take away from UF's accomplishments, my hats off to you, and you are setting your place in history, and yes, just like the Woody era I realize it won't last and you should enjoy it and make the best of it while it lasts. However, a t-shirt of the Script Ohio with a gator taking a crap to Dot the I hardly shows appreciation for our traditions.

As for your players, I think the disrespect to John Wooden by the current UF team has shown that this florida team has displayed that Florida's current success has come with the thought "the past is the past, we are the present" which on one hand is cool however on the other hand really takes away from the past accomplishments of other schools, in this case UCLA, which being trapped in SoCal, even though I hate them, they are the pinacle of collage basketball success with 11 championships.

My message was more that I didn't want to see tOSU fans saying "oh the end is near" because this is a buckeye board and I am a buckeye, if you felt disrespected, I used examples that I had seen, not made up and I hope you don't take it as being a spoil sport or a whiney bitch. I just want to see our fans supporting our guys, because as a buckeye I bleed scarlet and grey and I expect the rest our our fans to do the same :)

:oh:

From the articles I've read so far this morning, no one is giving us a chance tomorrow night. No one. Among the many other sources of motivation we have, I hope Matta will focus/capitalize on this one as well.

I wouldn't go that far. No one seems to be picking us but I think they're giving us a chance. Most think it'll be a close game but give the edge to UF and, scarlet and gray goggles off, they probably should. However, we'll kick some Gator ass and shut Noah up.

Dispatch

Gators, Buckeyes will go at it again

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

ATLANTA -- Just when Ohio State thought it was safe to go back in the water.

Yes, it's those all-too-familiar Florida Gators who are standing in the way of the Buckeyes winning their second national championship in men's basketball, and first since 1960.
Ohio State won't need a refresher course for what it will need to do better to win the NCAA Tournament championship game Monday night because it got chomped by the Gators 86-60 in a regular-season game Dec. 23.

It's No. 1 vs. No. 1 for the championship

ATLANTA (AP) - Now we'll see who's really No. 1.

Florida, the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament, and Ohio State, which finished the regular season as the top-ranked team, rolled into Monday night's championship game.

After a tournament filled with nail-biters, Saturday night's games were downright pedestrian. Ohio State (35-3) beat Georgetown 67-60 despite more foul trouble from Greg Oden. Florida (34-5) romped to a 76-66 victory over UCLA in a rematch of last year's title game that wasn't any closer than the original.

It will be a title game rematch of sorts. The Buckeyes and Gators met for a title in January _ only it was on grass, not hardwood. The gridiron Gators won that one in an upset, beating Ohio State 41-14 and making Florida the first school to hold titles in football and men's basketball at the same time.

Florida the one team Ohio State may not want to see Monday night

ATLANTA (AP) - Thad Matta was still enjoying Ohio State's win over Georgetown when he walked courtside at the Georgia Dome to catch some of the first half of the other national semifinal between UCLA and Florida.

Sitting nearby was Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel, and Matta went over to accept congratulations from him for making the basketball championship game. The football coach told the basketball coach there was only one more game to win, then confided who he wanted to see it against.

"I'm rooting for the team in blue," Tressel said.

He meant UCLA.

Hard to blame him.

Spring football practice may already be under way at Ohio State, but the licking Tressel's Buckeyes took in the BCS championship game less than three months ago was surely still fresh in his mind.

The last thing Matta needed was to have to avenge the loss for his fellow coach against Florida's basketball team.

Especially this basketball team.
