OK, the big game is tonight, Florida vs. Ohio State for the NCAA Mens Basketball Championship, who do you think is going to win?
Being a life long Gator fan (my Grandfather graduated from there, so we didn't have a choice growing up, and why would you ever choose any other team??:D ) I say the Gators win by 7. But they will be dramatic about it, as usual.
I ventured into the Central Ohio Reef Aquarists (CORA) forum, and found a post about OSU. I couldn't help myself, and had to jump into it.
I even ventured as far to offer a friendly little wager.
I put up a 5 polyp frag of Organism palys. You can find them on zoa id.
I am not posting this so every Gator fan on this forum will go talk trash. I do not want to do that here. It is all supposed to be in good fun.
I am patiently waiting them to all gang up and jump me. LOL, but so far, not too many replies. Maybe they all secretly know who is going to win.:lol:


Let's here some predictions people.

With saying all that -
GO GATORS
 
I have to go with the Gators also. I dont really like them but you have to admit they 1 strong team. A lot of seniors on that team. So im going for them by 3. I am willing to bet that they dont even make it to the tournament next year. lol lol
 
They won last year, they beat OSU in football championship game, they'll win tonight...could be wrong, but I think that repeat is in their line of sight and I think they really really want that title. First team to hold both titles at the same time will continue their reign of dominance.

I agree with Luis that I'm not a fan and I resent them for rejecting me, so I hope they lose(no offense, hexed). But at the same time, I don't see it being tonight.

Gators 96
Buckeyes 90

I'd be willing to take that bet, though...

I'd also be willing to bet that next year there will be very little competition that can even hold their own against UNC-Chapel Hill. Their team is so young, so deep, and was considered one of the top four teams in this year's tourney(don't ask me how they lost in the elite 8...I couldn't answer that...they forgot to play in OT).
 
By the way, if my favors weren't accented in this last post, both of my parents went to UNC, my brother went to UNC, and I was born in NC...needless to say, I'm a fan.

I moved to Chicago when I was 1('81) and MJ followed four years later to take over Chi-town and win us a few championships(twice) here and there...gotta love them heels and their graduates. You'll be seeing a bunch of them in a couple years going on to the NBA...
 
hey cschweiter!!! I played baseball at carolina, I have carolina stuff all over my house!!! I couldnt believe the way they played in the georgetown game. Next year is our year!!!
 
The main question is will there be any competition for them out there? There was barely any good competition this year with practically all fresh and sophs, some true freshman...oh, and one of, if not the, deepest bench in basketball.

UNC just seems to have been in a slump the past few years.
This year they showed alot of promise for the next couple of years. When a young team like that comes together that early, watch out.
But I have to say, Florida was a young team that showed that same promise we are talking about, and you see what they have done. And are going to do tonight.
I hate to admit, they will not be as dominant of a team next year. At least I don't think so.
Game starts at 9:00 tonight, ( I mis-read Craig's reply, so I changed this part), if I don't get any takers from the Ohio forum, anyone here up for the wager? If so, what are you putting up on your end?
I will give the Ohio forum until about 8:30 or so, and then would be open to make it with you.:D
Remember, this is just a friendly little wager.
I even though about if someone from the Ohio forum did take the bet, and if the Gators win, still sending them my frag, just to be nice.
I might even include a couple of tubs blues glued to the same rock, so they have to look at orange & blue while they grow out.:lol:

OK Craig and Thor, you thread hijackers, start your own UNC lovers thread.:love2: :p :lol2:


Just joking around guy's.:D
 
BTW, hexed, UNC won the championships just a few years ago(against U Ill, another team I would not have minded winning that year...It was like my dream championships...).

I'm done on them now, though.

Give me OSU and 10 and I'll betchya. I got plenty of corals to make a little wager...

No points, we start even.
 
Hehehe, I already said I think FL will win by 6. They have the spread online at 4.5:). I said 10 because I think that stacks the odds in my favor enough...I'm a sure thing kind of guy. I don't even play the lotto.
 
I hate UF and I would love to see them lose...but not to the Buckeyes (I hate them more). I go to UCF and will only support UCF in any sport, but anyways I have Florida winning 76-72 in my bracket.
 
Down with UF!!!!! Those gator fans are so cocky they need to be knocked down a notch and not to mention a swift kick in the nuts!!!!!!!! I'm so tired so of these random people who have no affilications with the university and just jump on the bandwagon at the last minute pretending to be fans. I wanna see OSU blow them out of the water!!! Vote for the underdogs!!!!
 
Considering this club is in Florida, don't you think many would be Florida fans? lol. Either way, I'm hoping Florida wins too. I'm not a huge fan of college basketball but I'm a big college football fan even during the horrible slumps! But either way, I support them in whatever sport.
