did anybody get to hear Francois' interview? that was unbelievable.

rose even asked him about being suspende 12 games.

talking about his FG block he said "they told me to get as low as possible and get in there, you might block it, YOU MIGHT DON'T"

Are you sure he didn't say "you might not?"

Ok... :crazy:

Had the Sooners laid the beatdown on the Broncos last year, there would have been reason to deny Hawaii this year. Now, the Warriors can point to that game and claim they can play with the big dogs.

Them givin props to the SEC is good because it shows respect for the other teams they had to beat to get there. I think it is classy to stick up for your conference and give respect to the other SEC teams.

I agree.

Thank Georgia next year when some crappy team with a good record is whining about being left out of a BCS bowl.

A question was posed on this board about exactly what Defensive MVP Ricky Jean-Francois said during the post-game interview.

I did not hear it at first, but a friend pointed out that he said, "you might don't, but at least you tried".

I didn't believe him. Luckily, with TIVO I was able to rewind the interview and replay it.

Here's what was said:

Chris Rose – “I don’t think there’s a question that your field goal block when it was 10-10 swung the momentum of this game. After that you guys scored 21 straight points. Was that the big changing point”?

Ricky Jean-Francois – “I believe so. I believe that was the changing point. Before dat, my coach told me, ‘Ricky, just get down low as you can and just come full speed and try to block it. You might don’t, but at least you tried’. Well, I did my best. I blocked it, and I was just hoping that somebody picked it up from my team”

Chris Rose – “For you personally, it’s been a trying season. You were suspended the first 12 games because of some off field issues. What did you learn about yourself”?

Ricky Jean-Francois – “It made me start appreciating everything: my school, my football, my family, everybody around me, my coaches, my friends. Just made me appreciate everything so when I look at everything I’m going to appreciate it. I ain’t gone take it for granted no more”.

Chris Rose seemed to be at a loss for words following Ricky Jean’s response, so he just said, “Well, obviously good thoughts on that one”.
