    Tooting my/our own horn by posting this but yesterday my Michigan fan/golfing buddy left me a cell phone message that began...."Is this National Championship Headquarters?"

    Very clever and amazingly appropriate....for now.

    And now this morning I read this article about UF's unheard of streak of 21 straight post-season wins between basketball and football and how they rank:

    I agree on the BCS Title game as #1 but I might place the 2007 BB title game above the 2006 BB title game.

    I thought perhaps it was Mexican Food Day at Florida's athletic department training table.

    No doubt it's great to be a Gator these days. When I was in Hilton Head playing golf last week I saw a number of Gators sunning themselves on the sides of banks on water holes. That's how good it is to be a Gator, they are vacationing in Hilton Head!! :)

    About the same MCG. Acutally I could make case for any one of the three National Championships being the best.

    Football because football is still king at Florida and most of the south.

    The 2006 NCAA Championship because it was so unexpected and we did it so desisively.

    The 2007 NCAA Championship because it's so hard to repeat and how great it was to have all those players back for one more year.

    I'm happy with any one of the three being tied and in no particular order.
