Wouldnt these bowl matchups made more sense

[VolsSportsFan]

What makes me laugh is the whole, we would have won, theory. Maybe so.


No one cares

No offense but with your offense I'm not sure you would have beaten any team that has played the last 3 days.

just to remind everyone....

for the 11th year in a row.

I'm not sure that made sense to anyone, but it's been 11 years since Tennessee has beaten Florida.

That means it hasn't happened since 2004.

I usually defend you pulling this out but this time it appears you pulled it out because you got blanks in your gun.

Yeah you won, but does anyone deny at this moment we are clearly better? Your offense offends Vandy right now.

If you win next season, then I'll join you in completely ridiculing the loss.

Again, as I always ask, why are these clowns so well received here?

LG got butthurt because (God forbid) a Tennessee fan thinks his team could have won a game. As always, when the UT poster argued back, another gator troll chimed in with "11 in a row" talk.

And as always, their fan club on this board, that exists for some reason unbeknownst to me, will come to their aid soon about how they are "good posters." To their fan club members, I want you all to know, these guys have zero respect for any of you as UT fans.

Just as a heads up right now to both of you, LG and 99. If Freak ever offers to make me a moderator I will gladly accept, and you will both be banned immediately. That's not a threat, I'm just informing you ahead of time so you aren't caught by surprise.

Only if you promise to also ban UT fans that post the 157th thread the point of which is to whine some more about getting the slightly less attractive bowl game. Especially when neither one mattered.

My post will make more sense if you read what I responded to.

You won 11 in a row everybody and their mother knows that. What happened last year and the 10 years prior has absolutely no bearing on next years game. The team that beat us by some last second heroics is not the same team that got ass whopped by Michigan. Almost any team in the bowl games would've given Michigan more of a fight than that. See you in Knoxville next year without a roided up quarterback.

So now the bowl game ass whipping supplied to Florida doesn't matter?

Or did it not matter who Florida played in a bowl because Florida isn't likely to beat any bowl eligible team anyways?

Both alternatives suck, just wondering which spin your were going with here. Cuz Michigan did pretty much whip that ass. It has to be spun somehow.

I know, I know, hindsight... but I thought these teams matched up better:
Ohio St vs Stanford in Rose - Its easy to throw together 2 dominating teams, but isn't this what the country wanted to see? Great offenses with some big names.
Iowa vs Notre Dame in Fiesta - Everyone was still a little skeptical of Iowa and Notre Dame is tough but not a dominate offense. Good balanced game, no?
Ole Miss vs Houston in Sugar - After the Memphis game I would have loved to see what the Rebels would do against another non power 5 power. I didn't expect Houston to beat FSU (nor would have picked them to hang with OM) but I thought the matchup story would be cool.
Florida St vs Oklahoma St in Peach - I think OSU being in a Big 6 game is a joke, but next up would be TCU and, well, OSU stomped them so you woukd have to put them in. Probably would turn into a decent game.
And I know these 2 aren't picked by committee but they are part of the 8 big bowls on new years eve/new years.
UT vs Michigan in Citrus - Homer? Maybe, but everyine expected UT and Michigan to roll. Michigan by a FG.
Florida vs NW in Outback - 2 defensive minded teams. Not an exciting game but a great matchup for old schoolers. Florida 16-9.

Again, hindsight, but did.anyone think much differently before it all started?

I think the Peach Bowl had to pick Houston because the Fiesta Bowl had gotten stuck with Boise State last year.

And the Sugar has to be an SEC v Big 12 matchup by contract, when the bowl isn't a playoff semifinal game.
