4-5 years ago this would have been a big deal to me, but I couldn't care less now. It's probably a good thing it didn't happen or else Foley probably would've tried to give Muschamp a 5th year.

The defense was incredible that year. IF we had an offense ranked anywhere in the top 30 (maybe even the top 50), we would have had an undefeated season and another national title. Muschamp was so damn stubborn. Just thinking back on his time in Gainesville makes me want to puke.

What a jackass.

I remember the La Lafayette coach being interviewed after the game about his decision to sit on the ball and ultimately punt, content to go into OT rather than trying to get into hail mary range. Paraphrasing, he said he never felt the urge to press things or got swept in the idea that he had a chance to knock of the University of Florida. Rather, he said he felt great about his chances in OT. It was one of the most embarrassing moments I could ever remember(at that time) as a Gator. Here WM has future NFL starters at QB, RB, TE x2, WR(Dunbar), Kicker, a solid OL, not to mention the defense...and he couldn't even strike fear into the heart of the coach of a directional opponent.

Rankings, technicalities or otherwise, we had no business being in that game.

Besides, uga already declared that 2012 season to be their 3rd "Almost National Championship" in 10 years('02 and '07). Feels like we'd be stepping on their toes.
