Dr. Hak's Live Blog of the End of the 2006 Season

You're going to have to excuse my language today. Its LIVE BLOG time!!!

30 seconds ago UCLA Linebacker #2 Eric McNeal tips John David Booty's pass and holds on to intercept it...
UCLA is up 13-9...
1:10 left on the clock
wow...
One time for Black coaches...Karl Dorrell you're the man.
This isn't over though...I'm going to keep editing this entry as the SEC game plays out. Florida jumped to a 17-0 lead but Arkansas answered to pull within 10 at the half...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Bruins punter just blasted the longest, best punt i've ever seen. USC got the ball with 4 seconds left, hail mary to the UCLA 40 was tipped and could've been trouble but ended up on the ground...Their QB needs some ProActive if he's going to take advantage of his newfound popularity.
Way to go to Coach Dorrell and his staff. First to his defensive co-ordinator, then to him and the offensive coaches for having the balls to put mobile QB Patrick Cowan in and sit Ben Olson
...and now the night caps...
old school flavor with Nebraska-Oklahoma...
hey wait...Rutgers is up 7-0 on West Virginia! I didn't even realize that game started in all this excitement.
7:03
The Big East title is still up for grabs. Seems like LSU has bought their way into a BCS game...i mean they are ranked #5 but selling 30,000 tickets for both the Rose and Orange bowls and then if they end up in the Sugar Bowl (should Florida go to the BCS title game) is very impressive. Bowl selection committees are always looking to sell tickets and get ratings. This is why Louisville could get screwed if Rutgers wins the Big East, and the Gator Bowl takes advantage of their ability to once every 4 years select a Big XII team and take Texas...Louisville could end up ranked #5 or 6 in the country with a loss to a one loss team.
see why I love college football so much?

FYI - I used to hate Oklahoma. I'm not sure what started it. But I don't anymore. They showed a lot of heart this season and I respect Bob Stoops. I have a good reason to hate Nebraska (97 split title bullshit), so maybe I just hate all Big XII schools. THAT I can explain. I grew up in ACC / Big East country cheering for a Big 10 school and went to school in SEC/ACC country. I lived in Pac-10 territory for a while and just recently came to Big XII territory. Doesn't explain the hate but u know...whatever...In fact let's not call it hate. Lets just say the Big XII is kinda invisible to me. Its like I don't know them (thanks JPB)
They just interviewed Urban Meyer on live TV and he said he didn't know UCLA won...The announcer (not the interviewer) called him out for lying immediately...then just mentioned the Georgia Dome DOES have a scoreboard for other games...hmm...
7:08
*Interception Arkansas* - Middle linebacker #30 was sitting right there and Leak didn't see him. Arkansas as the ball on the 33 but Darren McFadden has an injured ankle...so...who knows whats about to happen now.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
7:10
Darren McFadden just threw a touchdown pass...this dude is like a mix between Reggie Bush and LaDanian Tomlinson. I really want him to win the Heisman. I'm upset its supposed to be a "lock" that Troy Smith will win
Florida 17-14 Arkansas
Hmm...seems like the Rutgers - West Virginia game might be the last one for coaches Rich Rodriguez (WVa) and Greg Schiano...they keep putting out reports that Rodriguez will take the job no one wants in Alabama, and speculation runs rampant that Schiano will go back to Miami (though he's a Jersey guy)
I think Miami will hire D-Coordinator Randy Shannon
I think Alabama will hire Bo Pelini or Jimbo Fisher...if they want the job. Might go after Steve Kragthorpe at Tulsa since all the big names keep turning them down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Rutgers field goal up 10-3
Oh WOW - West Virginia multi-talented sophomore QB Pat White is hurt. That will take some of the multi-dimension like option attack away from the Mountaineers. They also said RB Steve Slaton has a wrist injury that will require surgery after the season but he's still playing. I can't imagine thats not painful...
Back to the SEC title game
Casey Dick just threw deep to the left side to D. Williams...he fucking DROPPED IT...it mightve been just passed his reach but he had a shot...he wears the #1 jersey... u can't wear the number 1 jersey and do that
Florida just ran into the punter HARD and no flag...I guess I'm cheering for Arkansas now because when Williams missed that pass i screamed YOU SUCK

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh Shit!
#97 the Defensive lineman for Arkansas just intercepts a SHOVEL PASS!!! and runs it back 40 yards...
21-17 Arkansas
the announcer blamed it on the inexperience of Chris Leak running the spread option. Weird term to use for a 4 year starter at QB but i think that speaks to Urban Meyer not being willing to make his offense work within Leaks abilities...but Leak has shown some growth with his feet that I think will allow him to be the next Hines Ward (SEC QB at Georgia, smart able WR in the NFL)
I wonder if Meyer is arrogant/careless/crazy/pissed off enough to put Tim Tebow in at QB now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
7:44
What the fuck?
First, Urban Meyer does something really stupid and wastes his last time out with 4:00 left in the 3rd before a 4th and 1. Then he punts anyway. And arkansas's return man calls the fair catch, DROPS IT on the 4 and the gators recover in the end zone for a TD!
Florida 24-21 Arkansas
That was some bullshit...
But so was that shovel pass INT...
Sloppy game...I wonder what the voter are thinking...because right now...RIGHT NOW the BCS Title game Pony Show is ON
Florida has a chance to impress enough voters to move them past Michigan in the polls. The Computers will be close. Not sure how close but close. So it comes down to the Coaches and the Harris poll voters
I bet some SEC coaches are going to fuck around and put Louisville ahead of Michigan on their ballots.
I doubt the Big 10 coaches would put Florida low, like at #7 or some shit, but thats the type of mess they do down south.

~~~~~~~~
7:55
FUCK
Percy Harvin just took a counter give 70 some yards for a TD run...he's the man...top WR recruit last year for a reason..he should wear the #1 jersey. I like him. respect skills. Like I like McFadden but his ankle is hurt. Felix Jones just tried to show a break away return TD but he didn't get far.
Florida 31-21 Arkansas 14:10 left in the 4th
Can they PLEASE put Mustain in the game...PLEASE...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
8:06
Or you could do that...
*Touchdown* Arkansas
double pass!
31-28 Florida up
~~~~~~~~~~~~
8:26
*Touchdown Florida*
Florida 38-28
OK, here I go telling everyone to vote this guy for Heisman, and Darren McFadden throws his first bad pass of the season. He's not 6-7 with an INT = *INT Florida*
7:25 left
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```
8:38
Another interception by Florida
The game is over
Florida 38-28
I don't even care what happens with Louisville anymore
*sigh*
As much as I'd love Michigan to get a rematch, Florida deserves a shot to win a National Championship against Ohio State...now if the voters DON'T move Florida ahead of Michigan...I won't really be that mad. I mean fuck Florida. That was a luck win against South Carolina. Yeah Brandi I said it...I used to like the gators but I don't like Urban Meyer. Still, congrats and good luck.
So It looks like the Bowls are going to shake out this way
~~~~~~~~
11:06 ESPN just showed a fan poll showing fans outside of the SEC states support a re-match. Wow. Wasn't expecting that. All the announcers have been trying to get a Ohio State - Florida matchup...thus, I have to leave the following two scenarios
I found myself cheering for Rutgers at the end of that game but it at least keeps Louisville from being #6 and playing in the Sun Bowl on Dec 28th or something crazy like that...
Rose Bowl - USC v Michigan
Sugar Bowl - LSU v Notre Dame
Orange Bowl - Wake Forest v Louisville
Fiesta - Oklahoma v Boise State
National Championship - Ohio State v Florida


*****Version B*****
Rose - USC v LSU
Sugar - Florida v Notre Dame
Orange - Wake Forest v Louisville
Fiesta - Oklahoma v Boise State
BCS Title Game - Ohio State v Michigan
