Greg Oden was not good enough to stop the Gators
Dude sure tried though, huh?
He had some haters, (I’m looking at you Bill Simmons) but Greg Oden singlehandedly kept the Buckeyes in that game. Or rather, tried to keep them in that game. Without him, Florida wins this game by 20 or more. No doubt about that one.
How about in the first half when, double-teamed, Oden threw a dunk in Noah’s and Horford’s face. Unreal. He also had some tremendous blocks on the defensive end. But, that defense is what we’ve come to know him as. And, this was probably also his best game of the year, on the highest stage.
In the end, Florida was just too selfless, too complete and too well, too good for the Buckeyes. From Brewer to Green to Horford to Humphrey to Noah, they simply possessed too many weapons operating as one unit to lose this game.
You know what I’d really like to see though? This Ohio State team aged a year or two, taking on this Gator squad of ‘06-’07. That would be a showdown for the ages.
I can’t imagine if I was a student at Ohio State right now. Florida trumped us in two National Championship games this year?
Um, any room left in those anti-Noah Facebook groups?

Can someone please tell me who had the idea to outfit the Gators in what appears to be khaki fishing hats. I bet the guys will rock those all over Gainesville.
Just thought I’d point out again that my roommate from last year transferred in from Florida. He’s now missed out on 3 National Championships…ouch.
How about Joakim Noah after the game. His ebonic/ghetto slang about how Florida do! Isn’t his father from France and his mother Sweden? France is a bunch of pussies and Sweden is a bunch of hot blondes! If that doesn’t have thuglife written all over it, I don’t know what does!?! I F****** hate Joakim Noah, almost as much as Jason and Notre Dame!
“,almost as much as I hate Jason and Notre Dame!”
the ohio state team aged a few years? i guess they’re just following oden’s lead on that one.
