Today is the day of the so-called championship game of college football, or such that passes for a championship game, which is really more of a TV network-concocted scheme to play a lot of beer commericials to a really big audience. But no matter, the winner of the game between the University of Florida and Ohio State University will be declared this year's NCAA Division I champion in football.
Owing to THE DIVAGATOR's University of Florida degree, which I proudly keep in a tube behind my sofa, my rooting interests will naturally lie with the Gators. Besides, who in their right mind could possibly root for someone who wears a sweater vest?
On a hilarious note, this little tidbit--pulled from my favorite football blog, Every Day Should Be Saturday--sums up the prevailing attitude from Gator Nation:
Ohio grocery stores are stocking Gator meat. You will not likely see a counter-move by Florida grocery stores to sell Buckeye-fan meat, since it’s already available fresh on the streets of Florida daily. We’ve been eating hapless midwestern tourists alive for years. In case you don’t know, the taste is a rich, fatty, smoky one, with hints of Marlboro in there. Match with a Zinfindel to cut the almost foie-gras like consistency with a bit of spice.
Ah, feel the love!
The DIVAGATOR's Final Score Prediction:
Florida 266, Ohio State 2
