Better the Gators than Sooners

OK, let’s get this straight: The only time blue and orange look good is on a New York Mets logo. And grown people mimicking a gluttonous reptile by waving your arms … well, you just look ridiculous.

I mean really: The whole alligator species should have become extinct centuries ago.

But as football teams go, these Gators are alive and well for a national championship bid. Well, a BCS championship. I don’t know how anyone else can be the real national champs until someone beats Utah.

And come Thursday night, I’ll be rooting for the Gators to beat Oklahoma and bring home another BCS title in their game against No. 1 ranked Oklahoma.

I won’t like myself for doing it. And I’m NOT about to go out and buy one of those silly-looking Gator-head flags or car stickers. But, hey, I’ll being sending whatever positive karma I might have to the University of Florida. I want it all back in good shape right after the game – win or lose. I don’t have much positive karma to spare right now.
