2003 Outback Bowl: Michigan vs. Florida

[jdailey19811]

I don't see Michigan in a run for the national championship anytime soon, but I see Notre Dame and possibly Wisconsin getting up there soon.

[jdailey19811]

Michigan is the most winning program in the nation..for how long though? A 3-9 season wont keep you there for long

[jdailey19811]

Yeah....the beating they took from Miss State proved that theory wrong....and gonna get pummeled by Alabama like Ohio State did in 1979 by Alabama

[zrar8259]

Michigan can own sec from north to south

[ausablesteelhead]

Michigan Wolverines are one team that can beat the SEC regularly.

[MrKONSTRUCTION]

MICHIGAN OWNS THE SEC FROM EAST TO WEST

[momogoblue]

we just need to play Florida in bowl games were 2-0 against them Rex grossman's terrible

[jplaya2023]

how many of the games mattered?

0

[gatornatoin]

how is we beat florida but we barely beat ohio st but florida crush ohoi st

[mikerobinsonn]

lololol

were 2-0 ALL TIME versus florida.

michigan is also the all time winningest program, and has had better recruiting classes than you 9 of the last 10 years, and we got rich rod, and urban meyer is leaving you next year when weiss fucks up again, and youll go back to what you really are, a joke, fighting for the state championship annually

[bedlam36]

I'm so glad now that I, a Gator fan, can look back on these Zook debacles and laugh. 2 NC's in 3 years tends to ease the pain of the Zook years. Awesome play call to throw it Grossman...

[Kane9891]

WithExtremePrejudice, so OSU is the higher ranked team against Florida and LSU, and they should've won. But they didn't did they.

[WithExtremePrejudice]

I'm talking about in-conference rankings. National rankings are meaningless because they are not of any sort of comparative measure. You are a fool.

[tchaf14]

Well then specify, you jackass.

Goddammit.

[WithExtremePrejudice]

You lost to a fucking Big Ten (Eleven) team? What a fucking joke. The teams in that conference don't even know how to count. No, seriously! There are actually eleven teams in the Big Ten.  How dumb is that?

Michigan sucks balls and you lost to them. Embarrassing.

[yourlord13]

Hold your breath dumb ass. Michigan will be faster then the sec teams coming up. The B-10 is scared by the speed MI is bringing in. And so is the rest of the country.

[WithExtremePrejudice]

Time to take off the maize and blue-tinted glasses, fanboy -- the only people that are scared are Michigan fans that have the common sense to see what is happening to their program. Dick Rod is destroying your program from the inside out by running off all the talent that was there before Carr retired and bringing in inferior, smaller players.

[ashtonw05]

Jezz someones got a chip on his Shoulder. Michigan is a great program. GO BLUE.  GO BIG TEN

[WithExtremePrejudice]

Michigan is a garbage program.

3-9

[Brettwbeyer14]

first of all ,michigan has had lots of success against SEC teams. 98 against Arkansas. 99 against Alabama, 00 against Auburn. here against Florida, and against Florida again in 2006. Other Big ten teams have had success against this conference for the same reason. They ran and ran and by the time the 4th quarter came their defenses were so worn down that if they had the lead they could run out the clock or score more if they needed to. 2nd, before Penn st. came in 93, they had 10 teams

[WithExtremePrejudice]

It's not hard to believe that Michigan would have some success against the SEC when the Big Ten/SEC bowls typically pit a higher-ranked Big Ten team against a lower-ranked SEC team. You're like a child not to understand this.

[Brettwbeyer14]

he he he. 1998michigan ranked 15/arkansas ranked 11

1999michigan #8/Alabama#5

2007michigan not ranked/2006 National Champion Florida #9.

It's ok I forgive you for calling me a child. I don't think I need to kick you while you're down.

[WithExtremePrejudice]

Once again, you're like a child not to understand how this works -- the bowls pit the lower-ranked IN-CONFERENCE sec teams versus the higher-ranked in-conference Big Ten teams. Given that the Big Ten is completely top-heavy, it's not hard to believe they'd win some games -- but they don't win anywhere near the full number of games they should.

[Brettwbeyer14]

whether or not they use that formula, Michigan still ends up with the lower tear ranked SEC teams that have a higher ranking then they do, and they still end up beating them. I do not have any statistics for how other teams in the big ten do, because frankly, I am a michigan fan and I don't give a shit about what Wisconsin does, or Purdue ect. OSU and Michigan are the Premier schools that I pay attention to because I love michigan and hate ohio state. everyone else just farts around for 3rd.

[MWolverine9]

Michigan vs Florida, Mich leads the series 2-0. Thats right gator fans say all you want about Michigan and the Big Ten but just remember Michigan is 2-0 against the Gaytors

[rediculousrapper]

Ah the chris perry show, miss that dude

[MrErnest878]

MICH BEATS UF FUCK U GATOR FANS

[PENS68]

oh I dont even care PITT is my favorite team, Florida is number 2 so I could really care less

[uknoitsandy47]

FLORIDA IS GONNA BE BETTER IN 2009 everyone is coming back. can u say back to back bitchess

[GoBlue09090]

I agree with you completely. Florida is gonna be nasty next year. Your not losing any defense that I know of and very few offense. I think Florida will probably win it again next year.

[larma7]

Yeah, that defense is going to be amazing!

[DarkRiderT]

Nah, you're losing Harvin, there goes your run game and biggest play maker, everybody will just lock down on Tebow since they already know he's coming. Florida hasn't had a running back worth talking about in years.

If you do end up going you better hope USC doesn't play, they know exactly how to deal with Tebow.

[acnhs09]

what's up with the sound?

[PENS68]

everybody gets lucky once in a while

[GoBlue09090]

Sure, whatever you say. You can get lucky on a couple plays but I don't think any game is won by "luck."

[YouCanCallMeAl1022]

this was one of the worst coached games id ever seen. "Rex was open..." are you kidding me????

[PENS68]

Florida would own USC too much speed for the trojans to handle Percy Harvin Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps would blow by Rey Malaluga and that overrated USC defense Tim Tebow would run over Malaluga

[bendup52]

florida fans are grade A+++ faggots, only a true fag would say florida would own usc, at least usc beats michigan!!! ole miss would own florida, wait they already did!!

[MrZenV]

Michigan sucks florida sucks they will all lose to USC

[Andrewizdashiz]

bullshit florida would beat USC anytime anywhere

[MrZenV]

florida?!?!?!?!? florid?? nah they suk

[Theosis1]

montre15 u fuckin nigga ill wipe your fuckin face bitch, my wolverines fucked the gators up this past year in the capital 1 bowl douche, fuck you, GO MICHIGAN!

[Theosis1]

[frozennation1]

[bigbadjohn32]

[montre15]

[Cromulus420]

Your team has never beaten Michigan.

[smallfry206]

the beat florida twice... IN FLORIDA!

[Ledhead323]

Michigan made Florida their bitch. Twice.

[JRRingling004]

@Ledhead323 Too bad U cant beat my Bucks :)

[scregulator]

check the conference win/lose records in the important games...the BCS...respect the SEC! p.s. if u hate the dominating SEC...don't check the BCS stats...will cause damage to retina

[Ledhead323]

Michigan is 23-5-1 vs. the SEC. 5-1 in the last 10 years and 2-0 vs. Florida. Those numbers speak for themselves cupcake.

[MauricXe]

Nice.

[maizeandblue789]

john navarre+chris perry = florida getting there ass kicked.

[tjmcdoug]

apparently so does Mike Hart+Chad Henne

[Ikero88]

I think it's just Maize+Blue

[Victory1981]

Appalachian St I would not feel to bad about that one, that team was good. They could have played with or even beat a lot of Div 1 teams. 3 straight titles. Wofford was pretty good also LOL

[CrzyAzn5103]

LOL, grossman didnt change much from college did he? Nope, the same old crappy GROSSman

[MVillani1985]

Just reminding everyone that Penn State's another Big 10 team that has a good record against the SEC.

[Segageek]

john navarre pwnz

[plainoldpapi]

Well if you take OSU out of the equation, well it's pretty lobsided.

[Lucario5231]

I love how nobody gave Michigan a chance. It just made it even sweeter when they owned Florida.

[Smileyfacedkiller]

You're wrong. Other Big ten teams have been successful against SEC teams. It's just ignorance. People don't realize that the Big ten and the SEc are 14-14 against each other since the BCS era began, and that the Big ten has a 3 game lead in head to head matchups in the past 5 years.

[Victory1981]

Like I said, Michigan and Penn St are the only BIG TEN teams that have been successful against SEC teams alltime. Ohio State played better than they did last year OVERALL, but were still soundly beaten by LSU last night. SEC 7-2 in bowl games and by far is the best conference in the country. OSU 0-9 against SEC opponents in bowl or title games. Michigan and Penn St saved the Big 10 from total carnage.

[Smith4Heisman]

No they're not... Iowa has had success, Wisconsin has had success, and in the Regular Season Ohio State is very good against the SEC our all time record against the SEC is 7 - 11

[Cromulus420]

Hahahahahahahaha. Michigan's all time record against the SEC is 23-5-1. Nubs.

[pusloverboy]

Your wrong Minnesota, and Wisconsin both have played very well vs SEC opponents. If you take OSU out of the equation the win loss record Big 10 vs SEC is lopsided in favor of Big 10 and even with OSU its both conf. are .500 against each other in the BCS era.

[Victory1981]

Yes Wisconsin is a good team, but they only won two games IN BOWLS against the SEC, lost this year to VOLS. Minnesota is the worst in the the Big Ten eventhough they beat Bama a few years back in a bowl. Missisippi is the worst in SEC. Michigan is the greatest program in the Big Ten no argument there and one of the best in history of college football. Michigan and Penn St have been the best against the SEC. Michigan is an SEC KILLER. PENN ST is 16-16 against SEC.

[Jose1ATF]

Michigan's 23-5-1 against the SEC

[08pooled]

"I dont know the exact record but were the only Big Ten team that seems to beat SEC teams."

Michigan has now won 3 straight and 6 of their last 7 against SEC teams.

[Victory1981]

Well, Penn St and Michigan have been successfull against SEC teams overall in bowl games. The rest of the teams however in the Big Ten have losing records against SEC Teams in bowl games especially Ohio St at 0-8. The Buckeyes have a chance to redeem themselves this week against LSU. Wisconsin lost to Tennessee so its 1-1 between Big 10 and SEC this year, the title game will break the ice.

[Victory1981]

Well, since I am a good sportsman and a UF grad and fan, Got to hand it to Michigan today especially being the big underdog in this game, they whipped our butt especially on offense all day long. The score could have been worse, they could have put about 65 points on the board if it wasn't for 4 turnovers 3 of them coming right at or near the goaline. You(Wolverines) owned our defense, not offense.

[BleedBLUE87]

yeah we could have scored more but yall had a touchdown taken away too. Yall could have easily won too cuz that killed yalls momentum. Yall played good.

[555doss]

@Victory1981 michigan the underdog?

[Tebow15g8tor]

Don't take this as an excuse cuz thats not wat it's meant for michigan outplayed Florida today but I don't think a lineman from Florida held their block all day it honestly seemed like every time the ball was snapped there were 3 or 4 guys right in Tebow's face..congrats to the maize and blue tho..

[MaizeAndBlue1987]

Go Blue

Tim who?

[Herazaba]

Good game. Everyones talking about how WEAK Florida's defense was this year in the CO Bowl. What about that horrible offense?! Led by the "Heisman Trophy Winner" Tim Tebow that managed not to turn over the ball the entire game and then win 4 turnovers....AND STILL NOT WIN. The Sorry Excuses Conference is a JOKE. GO BLUE! and GO BuckS!

[glory789]

Michigan literally owns the SEC. I dont know the exact record but were the only Big Ten team that seems to beat SEC teams.

[RedStore4]

Not exactly the only Big Ten team... Wisconsin and Penn State both beat SEC teams last season and Wisconsin has a winning record against the SEC. Let's just hope my Buckeyes show up for the national title this year against the ONLY SEC team they ever beat (in the regular season though 1988).

[MVillani1985]

Penn State too, Penn State's total record is 16-16 against the SEC, with many of the wins being since joining the Big Ten in 1993.

[glory789]

If Michigan were healthy the entire season and that aggressive from the start, they would be in the BCS title game.

[imkool51391]

app st>florida hahahahahahahaha

[MVillani1985]

Wofford > Florida

[buckah1234]

GO BLUE...todays game was a great what made it even greater was WE WON....

[BassManiac07]

Michigan got Florida real good!

The Blue Defence kicked Tebows bitch ass!

=D

Also,this was Michigan's first bowl win since 2003;Outback Bowl;VS Flroida.

Weird huh?

:P

[Lucario5231]

41-35 lol owned

[Cromulus420]

41-35. Fuck off haters. This is what a healthy Michigan team can do.

[FartinPreacher]

Did you hear that they might fire the Dolphins coach and then he'll coach Michigan, Damn if he does we're in deep shit

[handurdeal79]

wow if you believe that i got a gold mine for sale i'll give it to you for $100.

[YouTuber2006]

Hey genius, Michigan already got a head coach. Or were you too busy in the swamp wrastlin' gators?

[mattwg2009]

im a bucks fan, but im DEFINETLY pulling for Michigan in this upcoming bowl game. i think they have the potential to pull it off if florida plays like OSU did last year. i want michigan to win, but i dont think its gona happen.

[giantsfan121]

I am a Michigan fan, and I hope Michigan wins, and that OSU wins because Les Miles screwed Michigan. I hope he loses every game of his career. Even though it wont happen. GO BLUE!

[Lucario5231]

Michigan is way underrated in this game. They've got the talent and they're healthy now. They're the #5 ranked team they were in the preseason.

[chickendoddle]

The SEC is the best college football conference by a long shot currently. And michigan fans just shut up, man up and admit that this years team is subpar and has no chance againsta team like florida. an SEC team. michigans record if they playyed in the SEC. .500 or worse

[Lucario5231]

The SEC is a good conference but WAY overrated. Dennis Dixon would have owned Tebow in the Heisman race if he didn't get hurt.

[MICHIGAN5181991]

Your mentally challenged. If Michigan and OSU played in the SEC the final finish would look like this. LSU, OSU, UM, AUBURN, UF

[pennphish]

41 - 35. Now piss the bloody hell off you wanker. Hail to the Victors! GO BLUE!!!!!!!

[imkool51391]

41-35??? hahahahaha

[handurdeal79]

Whats that noodle head? Proud to be a Michigan Wolverine! See what a healthy Michigan Team can do!

[Lucario5231]

Why is everyone counting Michigan out? Their offense will finally be healthy, and Florida's secondary is Swiss cheese. Henne just needs to launch it downfield to Manningham or Arrington.

[Brewhaman]

Agree! It will be the 1rst time all season our top players will be healthy. We will surely have a chance to knock off the Gators!

[Tebow15g8tor]

please all u big ten fans quit bitching and take it up the ass without any complaints

[odog510]

i guess that southern speed was non existant in 2003 huh. too bad this Michigan team cant hold the 2003 team's jock straps. but could be a good game if somebody other than Mike Debord calls plays for UM

[Lucario5231]

Other than last year's national title game, the Big Ten has walked all over your weak SEC.

[parkinggod]

41-35. Now bend over and take it like a man. At least I'm letting you get your feet set first.

[bryandfoster]

Michael Hart is gonna Face Fuck Tebow then take his trophy and his pride!!

[ssk2k6]

Alain Kashama!

[hpgator]

I was here for this game too... Even though we were terrible we still were in this to the very end.

lol @ michigan players doing the gator chomp in the first half... classy. I'm sure they won't be doing that this year.

[08pooled]

Damn. It's been so long since we won a Bowl game. I remember watching this game as a 7th grader. I'm now a senior in highschool. Chris Perry was a beast in this game.

I think that Florida is going to beat us in the Capital One Bowl, but I will point this out: Michigan has 5 of their last 6 games against SEC teams.

[Philtheshowkiller]

Yeah on paper Michigan would get killed, but Michigan will be healthy for the first time all year...not one game all year (even App St.) has Henne and Hart played more then three quarters together.

Go Blue

[LegalizeCannabis420]

Ahh the wonderful memories. Nice job putting this together.

Yeah it's going to be a lot tougher to do the same thing this year though. We actually had a defense that year. We are playing a much better QB this year and we cannot defend against the spread.

But I still think we'll pull it out in a high scoring affair.

Go Blue

[UFSWAMP15]

michigan is goin to get there ass beat in 08. Its pretty much a home game and you cant stop our offense. Its SICK!!!!!!! And you have the worst uniforms in all of college football.

[glory789]

Michigan will get killed but they have the greatest uniforms in all of sports. Every time there is a ranking of football uni's, they always rank on top.

[andyreid16860]

You're already 0-1 VS Michigan men this year... Lloyd Carr just might try some crazy stuff for his last game

[Brewhaman]

maybe the tackle eligible?

[andyreid16860]

no more like, with some ideas from Rich Rod, some trick plays... might as well going out fighting instead of the clasic Hart to the left, Hart to the right, pass, punt (as shown durring 9 drives straight vs Penn State)

[Brewhaman]

Yeah, I agree, I was just joking!

I'm fired up to see what next season holds. It's prbably going to take some time before it will all come together, but I think we needed a move like this. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but a good move none the less! GO BLUE!!!

[dldowell1122]

Why does most of the big ten teams play road games;(OSU play LSU in NO) ILLinois vs USC in CA (Michigan vs Florida in FL) Penn ST vs Texas AM in TX ( Purdue vs C. Michigan in MI) THe big ten is used to playing road games so that will have no impact on any of the bowl games. GO BLUE.

[pez345]

lol i live in florida and im a michigan fan and you have no idea what your talking about there isnt going to be any defense so it will be a close high scoreing game and florida has no uniform and michigan is always ranked at the top when they rank uniforms we wont be able to stop tebow you wont stop hart its that simple

[quaker91]

Michigan's pants are REALLY ugly.

[Cromulus420]

Wrong. Best uniforms in sports.

[quaker91]

Umm...no. Their pants are, in fact, really ugly. It's a really really disgusting shade of yellow.

[beatlesfanatic5]

ok... michigans pants are awesome easily best uniforms in sports

[beatlesfanatic5]

yepp agreed

[beatlesfanatic5]

No their not they are amazing

[quaker91]

No. The pants suck. No doubt about it. Like a manatee flailing in a net when they fall down.

[JiggaNigga9]

Best Uniforms, Are you jealous? that you lost in '03 and will loose in 08' too?

[quaker91]

Are you embarrassed that your pants are ugly?

[glory789]

Are you gay? All you think about are tight pants that men wear.

[glory789]

OK fashion expert. Michigan has great uniforms but who cares? This is football, not a fashion show.

[Amaizenblue86]

Sigh... the quality is pretty bad...

[oldcat7]

If you think the SEC is overrated you are really stupid.

[Mike20Hart]

The audio sucks! Go Blue!

[wolverineNYY]

the audio REALLY sucks Go Blue!!

[glory789]

Rex Grossman sucks.

[beatlesfanatic5]

Im a Bears fan so i deal with him every week I loved seeing Michigan kill him

[plainoldpapi]

I agree, I think they should play griese.

Who played for Michigan I might add.

[linknlog]

Michigan beat up on Florida and a few days later Ohio State beat Miami. The Big Ten owned the Sunshine State that year.

[ddawg2324]

sweet i didn't even know kato june played for Michigan. He is beasty

[Velocity88]

That first fumble, I wasn't sure about how that happened...

...then I saw the replay and the name of the QB. Grossman. LMAO

[BEARSin07]

You're a fucking moron

[crazywilly1010]

sec and big ten r the 2 best divisions...end of story

[fmthebaron]

Chris Perry, Victor Hobson, and Kato June are really good players.

[Anonymous86]

SEC is overrated...

[linknlog]

Amen.

[vincesanity61]

braylon is a beast

[esimer]

sec speed my ass

[sackc26]

michigan owned grossman

[JiggaNigga9]

The SEC Sucks

[almo2380]

damn this is a sick vid

[ArandomguynamedSimba]

Go chris perry rex lost the bears a superbowl

[08pooled]

Its funny, Michigan has won 5 of their last 6 games against SEC teams, including Florida in 2002.

[dannywuerrful]

Ah man, the SEC teams are sooooooo dominant with their speed and lineman who can't bench 200. Who will anyone ever beat any SEC team?

[Justinole008]

even though michigan won fucker

[08pooled]

I can't believe that Michigan has lost 4 straight bowl games. Whatever, they'll win the national championship game next January.

[lifesucks963]

Ehhh about that...

[JakeBartonHud]

ahh the good times
