Day 2

It was a rollercoaster day. I didn't play that much. I woke up late and didn't really feel like playing. Then Florida vs Ohio State came on and i watched that game. OSU's Ted Ginn Jr took back the opening kickoff for a TD. The game appeared to be a blow out. It was...just for the other team. Florida dominated the entire game. I agree with Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss on his statement..

"Honestly, we've played a lot better teams than them," Florida defensive end Jarvis Moss said. "I could name four or five teams in the SEC that could probably compete with them and play the same type of game we did against them."

Now, I'm a Florida State fan. As you know they are bitter rivals and I give all the credit to Urban Meyer and the job hes done in the short time since hes been at Florida. I just don't believe Ohio State was a GREAT team. We know they are good, but their key victories were against a mediocre Texas team, and a Michigan team that got destroyed in the Rose Bowl.

The final AP and Coaches Polls were out right after the game. In a bit of a surprise, 65 of the 66 coaches voted for OSU as the #1 team in the nation. Can you guess who got the other vote? Yep, everyone's cinderella Boise State. Here's Urban Meyer commenting on them..

"I love Boise State. We don't want to go play them. We're done, we're done, we're finished," Meyer said.

"There are probably five, six, seven great football teams in this country and there is one way to figure out who the better team is and that's to go play the game," he said.

Everyone is dieing for it, just give us a Playoff! And last but not least, can we give the Big East some props now? I mean everyone gives the conference crap about their teams, but yet they posted the best bowl record going an impressive 6-0.

Now onto our post for the day on the race for 5k. I had a maniac at my table that claimed to play 10/20 live. I dont fathom how you can play 10/20 live but yet play .50/1 online. And to make it even better he played only 1 table. If I had to give myself a grade tonight, i would probably give a C+. I played some hands bad and i took 1 or 2 beats, but that happens.

Cash Games: -$46.30
Only 717 hands today. I made some nice calls and some horrible ones. The hand where i had Aces i had no clue what the dude had. He was the one who claimed to play 10/20 live. He put some wicked beats on people. I probably make that call about 50% of the time.

Tournaments: +$38.80
Played 4 $6 Turbo SNG's this afternoon. Got 2 1sts and a 3rd.
