The Gators Call for Playoff

The University of Florida President Bernie Machen is raising hell at Hooters and the annual SEC business meetings this week in Destin, Florida. Machen is calling for the SEC to look at implementing a playoff system and getting rid of the beloved, errrrr, hated BCS system. Normally we'd normally think this was a great idea but coming from Florida we're not so sure. This is the same school that asked Steve Spurrier, who had won a National Title for the Gators in 1996, to send in his resume for the vacant head football coach position after Ron Zook was fired and Spurrier was out of a job. When asked Spurrier famously replied, "You want my resume? Go outside your office and look in the f!@#ing trophy case." He didn't get the job.

Also coming out of the meetings was talk of creating a SEC television network like the Big Ten is rolling out this year. That would be great in our opinion as it would put the Jefferson Pilot, now Lincoln Financial announcers out of work (like Dave Neal pictured above) and living under a bridge in Baton Rouge. But would we be able to live without the Brooks and Dunn intro????
