It's Good To Be A Gator

Maybe everybody else was already thinking this, but it just dawned on me that Florida also won the NCAA Tournament, meaning they're about to own the two most important championships in college sports. I'm guessing this wasn't brought up more in the lead-up to the game because nobody really expected the Gators to win.
The few people on ESPN and SI.com who picked Florida probably did so only because their editors made them, you know, just for the sake of being contrary. Of the few people to pick UF to win this game, I'll only give credit to Lee Corso, who donned the Gator head before the game, and even that pick might deserve an asterisk because Corso seems to pick against Ohio State to piss off Kirk Herbstreit.
Urban Meyer must be the man, I suppose. Also, I really don't want to hear again how he did it with Ron Zook's players, because we all know Ron Zook wouldn't have won the Insight.Com Bowl with these guys. That's enough Thom Brennaman for me. I'm going to bed.

(Update: And what the hell is John Swofford doing presenting the National Championship trophy to Urban Meyer? I swear, if he's thinking of expanding the ACC again, I'm going to scream. And don't get me started on the fact that the dude from The Best Damn Sports Show Period is on the podium right now interviewing the coaches and players. If there's one sign that FOX should never, ever be broadcasting a major sporting event (and believe me, there are millions), John Kruk's co-host being involved in the most important moment of the broadcast is the biggest such sign.)

(Update #2: FOX's answer to "One Shining Moment' is Andrea Bocelli's 'Con Te Partiro', a lovely song, to be sure, but not exactly one that makes evokes memories of football games past. The end credits seem to be working out alright, but how am I supposed to know if the players always did their best or if they're a shooting star?
But that's not why I opened my computer back up. During the song, FOX listed the directors of all the BCS bowls and it seems that one Bill Webb directed the Orange Bowl. As I wrote last week, the director (who turned about to be this Bill Webb character) of the Wake/Louisville game was in love with cutting to shots of the crowd, even while the game was still being played:

The directing was almost as bad as the announcing. Reminiscent of their baseball coverage, FOX cut to reaction shots from the crowd at least two or three times between each play. Sometimes they’d do this during a measurement or penalty signaling. One time, viewers didn’t see a referee signal which team had recovered the ball after a fumble because the director had inexplicably decided to one of his 400 shots of the Louisville band. They also showed a disgusting amount of close-ups of fans and coaches, so much so that I half-expected to see Joe Torre pop-up on screen. Seriously, it was infuriating.

I'll give you one guess as to who is the #1 director for baseball on FOX. Hint: His name begins with "Bill" and ends with "Webb".)
