Who's out drinkin' 'til half past two?
A big bull gator in orange and blue!
Ain't nothin' finer in the land,
Than a drunk, obnoxious Gator fan!!!

Hey Dimwhit - tell me about Dirk Koetter - my Jags just hired him to be their Offensive Coordinator.

Really? Wow, hadn't heard that. Good for Dirk!

I always liked him. He was pretty popular around here. If memory serves, Dan Hawkins was his assistant. He's got a good offensive mind, so I think he'll be a good fit there.

His main knock was with how he handled the QB situation at Arizona State. But he never had any issues like that here in Boise.

It will, of course, remain to be seen how he handles the move to NFL, but I think he's a good find.

Well, the Jags have a mess at QB right now, so hopefully he learned from whatever mistakes he made at ASU.

His offensive resume is quite impressive (averaging over 30 points/game in his career and running excellent offenses as far as yardage goes).

GO GATORS!!!!!

...two of them...two of us...

Three. Actually, four. I'm an alumnus, so I count double.

 

[Heathansson]

I'm an alum too. That makes 6.

That is unusual logic you are using. With Michigan losing, even if Florida wins the BCS will look like it worked. The BCS is still better then the old bowl system.

No it won't; Louisville, Wisconsin, and Ohio State will have the same record as Florida. USC and LSU had dominating wins to cap two-loss seasons (most SEC-superiority types will tell you LSU was the best team in the SEC). Boise is undefeated and knocked off the Big 12 champ.

... but only marginally. The BCS is a two-team playoff. And two teams just isn't close to enough for a reasonable playoff (you need at least 8, and 16 is better).

We've had clearly undeserving teams in the title game (2001 Nebraska and 2003 Oklahoma, after losing their conference championship games, were then blown out in the BCS title game).
We've had the #1 team in both major polls left out of the title game (2003 USC) and go on to claim the final #1 AP ranking and a split championship.
We've had undefeated major conference teams left out of the title game (2004 Auburn).
We've had undefeated minor conference teams left out of the conversation entirely (2004 Utah and others).

And there's been quite a bit of contraversy in other years that I just don't remember well enough to detail.

I've heard a couple AP voters who said that if Florida wins, they'll vote for Boise. I'll believe it when I see it.
