After winning 15 games in a row, losing becomes an afterthought.
The stars must align. The dominoes must fall the right way.
I still giggle at the thought of Steve Spurrier throwing down his visor inside The Swamp. That's part of his legacy. And the really funny part is that he would only throw it down once, maybe twice a game. Gators fans were happy he got that upset only a few times per game.

MIAMI - It all started with a playful jab. It's become a war of the words.
For close to two hours, UF made the third-largest crowd in women's basketball history forget they had come to view the BCS National Championship in the O'Connell Center following the basketball game.
It's not deja vu. Relax, you're not seeing double.
