On the "out-coaching" issue, I understand it's simply personal opinion. A huge Gator fan, I am no fan of Bobby Bowden and the Seminoles, (as a matter of fact, my favorite team is the Gators and whoever is playing against the Seminoles!). BUT, despite having much of his 1st team decimated with injuries and suspensions, Bowden coached his team to a margin (albeit losing) that should have been have been MUCH wider margin considering that the #3 team was playing the #22 team with a very poor seaon record!
As an aside, the Seminole fans are VERY spoiled and rarely show up unless it's for thr National Championship!
joepa, if not outcoached, should have won that game by 14 points, especially considering, as you pointed out, FSU had no offense at all!
That said, both coaches are at least 5 years past their retirement dates and 10 years past their prime as coaches, as the game has passed them by!!!
I believe that Hall is a very good coach and would have had a much longer run at Florida had the Gators not had the chance to pick up Spurrier!!!
Bottom line, all the major bowls, Sugar, Orange and Rose were great games this year!
