Ohio State Is Gatorbait!

The first 16 seconds of the BCS title game? All Ohio State. The rest of Monday night? All Florida in a 41-14 shocker, as the Gators responded to Ted Ginn Jr.'s opening statement by routing OSU to claim the national championship. Story

First basketball and now this! My teams have done me proud!

Florida is the first school ever to hold both titles simultaneously:

Call it the Gator Slam.

The Florida Gators became the first program to hold football and men's basketball titles at the same time Monday night with a 41-14 victory over top-ranked Ohio State.

The basketball team won its first championship in April, beating UCLA 73-57 in Indianapolis. The football team claimed its second title -- the Gators also won in 1996 -- with similar ease.

The Gator's defense was unbelievable tonight!

Tonight, we watched what can only be described as one of the most dominant defensive performances you’ll ever see in a championship setting.

Florida held Ohio State to just over 80 yards of total offense the entire game. Think about that for a second. A Buckeyes offense that featured a Heisman Trophy quarterback, a 1,000-yard rusher and a cast of dangerous receivers (though obviously far less scary without Ted Ginn Jr.) managed just one touchdown and 82 yards for the entire game. Major, major props to the Florida defense.

Florida did not do much offensively in the second half, but it did not need to. The Gators’ defense kept up the same level of suffocating pressure the entire game, holding Troy Smith to an astounding 35 passing yards. Unreal.

ESPN has some incredible photos of the game.

Here's a recap of Florida's season leading up to tonight's game:



It's great to be a Florida Gator!

GO GATORS!!!
