Welp … it all goes down tonight in Miami, FL, y’all! The #1 Sooners from the University of Oklahoma (*ahem* my alma mater) take on the #2 Gators from the University of Florida in the BCS Championship game to battle for college football supremacy. One shall stand and one shall fall … and we’re only hours away from kick-off … are you ready?

The top two teams in the country will meet in the third-annual BCS National Championship game, as the Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners square off at Dolphin Stadium in Miami on Thursday for the national title. Urban Meyer’s Gators are no stranger to the national championship game, as they won the inaugural BCS title game two years ago with a 41-14 victory over Ohio State. Behind last year’s Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow, the Gators have also rolled over most of their 2008 opponents. Despite a setback at home to Ole Miss in late September (31-30), the Gators have defeated the rest of their foes, including lopsided wins against Tennessee (30-6), Georgia (49-10) and Florida State (45-15) outside of Gainesville and an equally impressive performance against LSU (51-21) at home. The result was yet another SEC East crown, setting up a showdown with the Alabama Crimson Tide for the SEC Title in early December. When the smoke cleared, Florida earned a 31-20 victory and a spot in the national title game. Thursday’s contest marks Florida’s 18th straight bowl game and 36th bowl appearance overall (16-19). It is also the fifth BCS bowl game for the Gators, who have gone 3-1 in the four prior outings. Bob Stoops’ Sooners earned the right to play in the title game by winning the Big 12 crown in impressive fashion. Like the Gators, Oklahoma had one little bump in the road, a 45-35 setback to Texas on Oct. 11. The Sooners rebounded from the loss and then ran off seven straight wins en route to ending the year with five consecutive 60-plus point performances, including a 62-21 rout of Missouri in the Big 12 title game. But Stoops knows what his team is facing in Thursday’s contest. “We are excited about the opportunity to play a great Florida team. Urban Meyer and his staff have done a great job there and they are a very talented team when you look at them with their speed and skill. Really in all parts, you look at them offensively they like to spread it around to all the positions and they can run it with big time players. And of course their quarterback Tim Tebow is one of the best in the country. “Defensively, it’s the same thing. They have a lot of skill and speed on defense. Up front, in the front seven you really see it. They are solid in everything that they do scheme wise and in special teams they a very detailed and well thought out in their schemes in all that they do. It is a big challenge and an exciting one at that and looking forward to the challenge.” The Sooners have won seven national titles since 1950 with the latest coming in 2000, and boast a 24-16-1 all-time bowl record. The team is making its 10th straight bowl appearance.

Obvs my love and allegiance goes to the OU Sooners but I sincerely hope the best team will win as I know tonight’s game is going to be an awesome to watch. I’ll be proudly wearing my OU Sooners jersey (with my name on it, thank you very much) to root the Sooners on to victory! Fingers and toes, here’s hoping I’ll be in a very celebratory mood to post tomorrow ;) Boomer Sooner!!
