OpenMarket.org: Mizzou Tigers and the Other SEC

  • Ivan Osorio · 1 year ago
    John,

    Correction: The SEC suffered TWO defeats on New Year's Day, as my alma mater Florida lost a hard fought game against a Michigan team determined to send off their retiring coach, Lloyd Carr, with a bowl win.

    Congrats on the Mizzou win.

    Congrats, too, to Michigan, Coach Carr, and the Wolverine seniors for a great victory in one hell of a game.

    You're right about disputes. I think every school has a day of ref infamy, as you describe against Colorado, that's long remembered. For Florida it was the disgracefully officiated 2003 meeting with Florida State -- by a crew from the ACC (FSU's conference). To this day, the phrase "ACC refs" makes Gator fans see red. ( Soon after the game, there appeared a t-shirt inscribed: "We Can't ACCept it!")

    But regarding the SEC itself, loyalty obliges me to say, Geaux Tigers!
