Last night, Florida won its second consecutive National Championship. We at Drive & Dish feel special because we predicted that Florida would win. Well, actually, everyone predicted that Florida would win. Florida was, undeniably, the best team in the country. There really wasn't much suspense in this Final Four.Note: I actually did say that Florida was the most
talented team in the country and would, likely,
win the championship - five
weeks ago.
About an hour before the Championship Game, I posted my thoughts about the pending contest. Unfortunately, I had many things to do and was quite rushed on Monday night, and, as such, my post was hastily done- and not that well written, or even thought out. But my predictions for the game were pretty accurate. Because of that, I'll refrain from any deep post-game analysis.
It was pretty obvious. Greg Oden and Ohio State were good, but Florida was bigger, more talented, deeper, and more experienced. Florida was not going to be stopped. Oden played his best game of the Tournament, but it just wasn't enough. Other than Oden, Ohio State was just outclassed by Florida. The Gators were, far and away, the best team this year.
Edit:
Sure, Florida is the National Champion in football and basketball-I get it: they're good, but their fans are waaaay too obnoxious. Really. While it's understandable for them to be a little cocky (due to their unprecedented recent success) Florida fans take annoying to new levels. But this isn't a recent development. I've had many encounters with Gator fans over the years, and have often found those folks to be...well, special.
As they say in Gator country: yrr're either a Giaytorrr, orrr yrrr're Giaytorrrr baiyyyt.
