Ohio State vs Florida

Matt: this game is reminding you of ohio state-miami a few years ago
Scott: with osu as miami?
Matt: yep
Scott: i don't think osu is as cocky and arrogant as miami was
Scott: they won't underestimate florida
Scott: and larry coker can't hold tressell jock
Matt: we'll see... i like jim tressell, but i think urban myer is a great coach too
Scott: yeah, he is
Scott: and they had some great teams to play too
Matt: larry coker is a joke
Matt: that miami team was stacked though
Matt: yeah, i'd say florida is more battle tested in general
Scott: we shall see
Matt: what bowl was that? fiesta bowl?
Scott: yeah
Matt: ken dorsey
Scott: dorsey, winslow, mcgahee
Matt: roscoe parrish
Matt: andre johnson
Scott: that's the game mcgahee's knee was blown out
Matt: sean taylor
Scott: vilma and dj williams
Matt: antrel rolle
Matt: got called for that phantom pass interfernce
Scott: the play i remember the most is when sean taylor intercepted krentzel and maurice clarret chased him down and rip the ball away from him
Scott: that interception would have clinched the win for miami
Matt: yeah i remember that too
Matt: frank gore was on that team
Matt: vince wilfork
Matt: orien harris
Matt: wasn't there another late play where miami had a huge pass play but then the guy fumbled downfield when they could've just put the game away with a score
Scott: yeah, but frank gore never played
Scott: gore was supposed to start over mcgahee until gore got hurt again
Scott: i don't remember a fumble
Matt: yeah i swear late the 4th
Matt: what was the score at the end of regulation?
Scott: i don't remember
Matt: ohio state tied it with a late FG right?
Scott: yeah, i think so. mike nugent
Matt: yeah, i swear their game-tying drive... it happened b/c miami was up 3 and driving and dorsey hit someone downfield for a big gain, but then he fumbled
Matt: maybe i'm crazy
Matt: those are the top 3 games of the decade right... the '03 fiesta bowl, the '06 rose bowl and the '07 fiesta bowl
Scott: i would say so
Scott: they're definitely the ones that stand out to me
Matt: i think the '06 rose bowl is the biggest
Matt: ohio state-miami had more stars... but texas-usc had the 3 biggest stars
Scott: i don't know. it's in your memory more so than the miami-osu game
Matt: that's true
Matt: but i don't think we'll ever see a game again where we can truly say the 3 greatest college players in the country are all out on the field
Matt: miami never really recovered from losing that game did they?
Matt: isn't it funny how the next day we all thought willis mcgahee was done for his career and the sky was the limit for maurice clarett
Scott: yeah, that's true
Scott: how much things change
Matt: it's a tough call, those were 2 huge games
Scott: yeah, they were great games and both for all the marbles
Scott: it doesn't get any better than that
Matt: nope
Matt: what were the great games of this decade?
Matt: we've had a couple great super bowls
Scott: yeah, rams-pats
Matt: was rams-titans technically in '99 or '00?
Scott: panthers-pats
Scott: rams-titans
Matt: yeah, those are 3 of the all-time greatest super bowls
Scott: i think it was the 99 season, but the 00 superbowl
Matt: i think you're right
Matt: the music city miracle game
Scott: that kentucky lsu game where they dumped gatorade on the kentucky coach just before they lost the game
Scott: that was a hilarious game because of that
Matt: yeah, that hail mary
Matt: yeah it was
Matt: i can't think of any other football games even worth mentioning
Matt: the pats-raiders snow game maybe
Scott: yeah, that was a good game
Matt: remember the rams-bucs NFC title game the year the rams won it all?
Matt: that was a classic
Scott: yeah, that was another good one
Scott: the colts-steelers game last year
Matt: yeah, i just thought of that one too
Scott: that niners playoff game where TO caught the game winning TD pass from steve young Matt: that was awesome
Matt: was that 2000?
Matt: against the packers right?
Scott: i think that was before thatMatt: i think it was '99
Scott: yeah, i think the packers
Matt: i think that was the year the falcons made the super bowl
Scott: i think the niners lost the falcons the next week
Matt: yep
Matt: and then that falcons-vikings classic
Matt: game 7 red sox-yankees in '03, games 4 and 5 red sox-yankees in '04
Scott: yeah, there are a lot of great red sox yankees games
Scott: how about the game that a-rod got punched in the face by the catcher? now that's a great game
