Ohio State to face Florida in 2012 Gator Bowl
vs
Quote:
Meyer’s past, present give Gator marquee matchup
By MARK LONG, AP Sports Writer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP)—Urban Meyer’s former and future teams will play in the Gator Bowl.
Florida (6-6) and Ohio State (6-6) have been chosen to meet in the Jan. 2 game in Jacksonville, a marquee matchup between once-proud programs that slipped significantly this season.
Meyer’s hiring earlier in the week in Columbus makes the game even more intriguing.
Meyer won two national titles in six years with the Gators. He left Gainesville after last season, citing health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family, and became a college football analyst for ESPN. He walked away from the network last weekend and was officially introduced Monday.
Interim coach Luke Fickell, who took over when Jim Tressel was forced out for breaking NCAA rules, will lead the Buckeyes through the bowl.

This matchup has been written in the stars since Meyer became the new HC.

One has to love the corporate stamp left on all things sports these days... like the ESPN Analysts' Oral Praise From Their Knees Bowl (aka the BCS NC game).

They won the battle...We won the WAR!!!
I think if we can keep those little scat backs bottled up, we will win easily. Having Bryant and Shazier healthy is huge! I think Bryant should play the Star too. That will give us more speed on the field. I had a nightmare last night that Moeller was attempting to cover Rainey...didn't end well for us.
