they did play a hell of a game. Seems like all the florida teams are stinking it up this year. FSU,Florida,SouthFlorida all lost. And Miami didnt even make it to a bowl!

We didn't lose too bad considering none of us were but Harvin was playing full speed and we had to play two teams; the Wolverines and the Zebras.

Whatever dude! Florida was just plain beaten. Plus if Hart didn't fumble twice on the ONE YARD LINE it would have been a slaughter.

Hellova game!

Come on! Don't be like all of the crybaby Gators at my office and blame the refs. There are good and bad calls at every game on both teams.

Michigan's defense figured out how to stop the almighty Tebow.

Did the refs help Arrignton catch this ball?

That was an awesome catch! It was good to see Michigan play the way that they could of without all the injuries this year.

I was glad to see Carr win his last game, and Michigans senior class FINALLY win a bowl. Especially against Florida, I cant stand them.

waaaaa what zebras? Michigan came out inspired, and flat out beat you. And Arrington had two of the best catches of the year.

I can agree to that but to think that the refs were being fair is ridiculous. First play of the game there was a HUGE hold on someone that was about to sack Henne. Talk about a change of pace if that would of happened. If anyone really thought that Tebow was playing to his full potential, you're nuts. He's coming off his hand injury and still is dealing with his shoulder injury. Meyer didn't want to risk hurting him for this upcoming season. We also had major problems with our O Line and injuries. It's kind of funny though, I've heard stories all year from Michigan fans about how they lost due to injuries but than it comes down to this game and that kind of stuff doesn't matter. Regardless, we lost and Michigan won.

I was a ref---and still umpire. The crews that are chosen to work bowl games are the best in their conference. It is an honor to be chosen to work a bowl. Yes, officials are human; and, just like players, and coaches, they make mistakes. But to say an officiating crew favored one team over another is ludicrous. There is this concept in officiating called I-N-T-E-G-R-I-T-Y. Integrity is the #1 attribute of a successful official. Face it, there were questionable calls---there will always be, but U of M (and I am an OSU fan) plain out beat Florida. Even Urban Meyer said it..."We didn't do a very good job of coaching ..."

Maybe you missed where I said .. "Regardless, we lost and Michigan won." Yup, refs are human and they can make mistakes. I'm not saying that they were intentionally making a few bad calls, I never said that but it did happen. On a side note, all of this talk about integrity. Yes thats how it should be but I'm pretty sure you can agree that there have been plenty of refs that have done some less honorable things in the past, correct? Not saying that went down here in this game. but like you said "Face it, there were questionable calls---there will always be" thats about the only other thing to be said of it.

Sorry to be misinterpretted---I was responding more to Sundevil... The refs were from neither the Big 10 or the SEC---I know i have made my share of mistakes, but those guys have decades of experience, and the D-1 refs that I worked with were beyond reproach---they were, without a doubt, the most credible and ethical people that I have ever, worked with.
