Our house is in mourning. Last night, the Florida Gators not only trounced the Ohio State Buckeyes to become the national champions in college football -- they decimated us. They squashed our players like so many miniscule bugs in a football field. The score? 41-14.
The game began spectacularly, with Ted Ginn Jr. returning the starting kickoff for a touchdown. But he was injured in the second play of the game, and after that, it was like QB Troy Smith just lost it. The first quarter was ghastly, and by half-time, the score was already 34-14, and we were all covering our eyes and hanging our heads in despair.
The rest of the game was such a farce, it was comical. We could count the number of first-downs we made in one hand. The idea of scoring one touchdown -- let alone 3 to catch up -- was a joke.
All in all, it was a blowout. Because it was so bad, we actually weren't as gloomy as we would have been had it been a close game. I guess we had more time to resign ourselves to our fate.
Ah well. The best team won and all that. There's next season. Even though there won't be Smith or Ginn. Go Buckeyes.

i missed the whole game - would have caught the second half, but for the fact that our flight (on the last leg of the long trip back from india) was delayed. we ended up entering fl airspace way into the fourth quarter!
incidentally, where was pikey? gator ate 'er? ;-)
- s.b.
You didn't miss much :( Of course, if we would've won, I would say the exact opposite. Pikey was there, but alas, the fact that even she couldn't rescue the Buckeyes to pull off a last-minute victory goes to show how sadly-badly we played.
