Maybe, but it's just become a depth thing.  Perfectly even game in the first half.  This kids-siting-out thing is so lame.

So... Jim Hairball is this generation's John Cooper? Ridiculous amounts of talent, can't beat rival, or win abowl game.

Florida caught a few breaks here.  CJB is going to hear a bit of noise.  Mullen will not.

*This is the only bowl game played by two teams in the top 10 and both top 10 public universities.

The only break they caught is playing a team who never even lets mediocre to bad teams stay close, let alone win, but has been completely unable to beat good teams under Harbaugh.

Makes me wonder how in the world he owned USC.  The Stanford teams he coached weren't half as talented as this Michigan team.
And I also think this is partly an indictment of how utterly mediocre the PAC is.

Props to Florida. They showed up and Michigan didn't.

My one hope is that in the aftermath of this game, they'll make some changes on offense to be more aggressive and pass-oriented next year. Jake Rudock had over 3000 yards at Michigan so I don't see why that couldn't happen.

I don't understand what happened with the defense, especially the secondary, today. Florida wasn't doing anything that Michigan had struggled with this year. Being without Bush, Gary, and Gil & Paye getting injured isn't an excuse.

That is 100 percent on the head coach.

Be careful with that one, some SECers might cite Urban Meyer's record and make the same argument for the B10.

That's a tough call as team mates could get dejected and that could have a ripple effect on morale.And a lot of times momentum rears it's ugly head also.Not sure how many starters FLA had out,just saw the score didn't watch as the alternator on my Toyota quit and my Water heater is giving me problems

Some entertaining shares on twitter....

-Since OSU hired Tressel, UM is 6-27 vs OSU and in bowl games.
-This is UM's worst blowout since its loss to Tennessee during the early signing period last week.
-UM's early NFL kids sit out, UF's play and pick off passes and score and pose and win.
-Florida was the only team to rush for 200+ yards on UM this year.
-Apparently Florida is winning the NC next year?
-Also apparently, in a game called "basketball", Florida got up 21-0 vs Butler

Glad they found a lower tier Big East team more their speed.

We've played MSU in hoops nearly every year, I believe.  At least it feels that way.  Seem to fall short every time, but alas, that's just basketball.
